As one of the most popular sports played by American adults, golf continues to be a staple activity for social gatherings, business meetings, and even just for fun. More than ever, golfers are looking for ways to step up their golf game. What differentiates successful golfers from the rest is a focus on building mobility, balance, strength, and power. In this month’s Movement Memo, our fitness team explains why adding a fitness component to your training can significantly improve your golf game.\nThe Rise of Fitness in Golf\nIn much of the 1900’s, golfers neglected to physically prepare their bodies in the same way athletes of other popular sports did. Competitive golfers previously tended to replicate the training methods of previously successful golfers, most of whom did not have strict fitness regimens. In fact, there was a common misconception that muscle mass gain would limit mobility and, in turn, be detrimental to one’s golf swing. As a result, physical fitness was rarely a priority for golfers. However, the importance of fitness in the game of golf started to rise as Tiger Woods began his dominance of the sport.\nTiger Woods revolutionized the game by making a rigorous fitness plan an essential component for his golf performance training. Over the course of his career, golfers observed his success and gained a greater understanding of how fitness routines enhanced on-course performance. His methods inspired the next generation of golfers to be more physically fit and who would later dominate the game with faster club speeds and longer driving distances. Proof of the success of a fitness-centric approach is reflected in the success of Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson, Justin Thomas, Brooks Koepka, and Bryson DeChambeau. Since the start of Tiger’s professional golf career in 1996, the average driving distance (i.e., first shot off the tee) has increased by 30.8 yards on the PGA tour.1 In fact, increased driving distance has even led the United States Golf Association (USGA) to evaluate whether the construction of the golf ball should be altered to limit hitting distance, and therefore prevent the need to lengthen courses. Whether the PGA tour decides to adopt this rule or not, this expanding focus on fitness will remain integral to overall golf performance training.\nWhy is Fitness Important in Golf?\nThe golf swing is an explosive and athletic movement that requires mobility, strength, balance, power, and coordination to allow for a precise and repeatable swing. Fitness training supports the demands of the sport to improve performance, prevent injury, and prolong careers.\nGolf, like tennis, involves repetitive and rotational movement that places an unequal distribution of force on the body. As a result, there is an elevated risk for muscle imbalance and overuse, which can lead to injuries of the back, hip, knee, and wrist joints.2 This is especially true for golfers who are actively training to maximize speed in their swing, as faster speeds produce greater torque on the body. A balanced fitness routine not only improves stabilization and posture, but also reduces compensatory movements and the chance of injury.2\nThe power developed from proper fitness training allows golfers to increase their club head speed and hit the ball farther. Hitting the ball farther is advantageous to any golfer’s game as it allows for shorter approach shots, opportunities to reach the green earlier on par 5’s, and greater ability to reach the green from fairway bunkers. Maintaining an ability to hit the ball far is especially important for aging golfers, as it becomes increasingly difficult to combat decline in strength and power seen in each decade of life.3 Aside from adding distance, a golf-specific fitness program also improves consistency, accuracy, and swing coordination.4 With one round of golf lasting up to ~5 hours, a fitness routine also helps improve stamina and delay the onset of fatigue.\nAs we age, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain the mobility, strength, and balance needed to withstand the rotational forces of golf. If these physical abilities are not regularly addressed within one’s training regimen, an injury is bound to cut your golf career short. Arthritis of the knees, hips, and back lead to increased pain while playing. A proper fitness plan can improve the strength and range of motion around each major joint and, thereby, reduce pain and keep you on the course for many more years.\nHow to Build a Golf Fitness Plan\nA well-rounded, golf-focused fitness routine should emphasize speed and power, but also focus on the dexterity and control needed for accurate ball striking. To accomplish this, golfers must incorporate elements of mobility, balance, strength, and power.\nA golf swing requires a high degree of rotational movement from the upper and lower body. Optimal mobility allows a golfer to achieve the full range of motion needed to generate power, increase speed, and create a consistent and accurate swing motion.5 Without adequate mobility at each of the major joints, the body will inefficiently compensate, resulting in poor shot quality and potential injury. Mobility work should include a combination of foam rolling and stretching implemented before and after a workout or a round of golf. Recommended areas of focus for golf mobility training include the hips, spine, shoulders, and neck. Refer to our previous Golf Mechanics Blog for more information on golf-specific mobility exercises.\nBalance is also important in golf because it enables a smooth transfer of weight from one foot to the other, which is necessary for generating power and accuracy. Balance improves body control during the swing, allowing for consistent swing paths and optimal ball contact. Exercises to improve balance should be incorporated into strength workouts with the addition of unilateral movements, such as single-leg RDLs, reverse lunges, and forward step-up’s.\nStrength & Power\nStrength is essential in golf performance because it improves the upper and lower body stability necessary for balance, body control, and accuracy of a golf swing. Strength is also essential for maintaining proper posture throughout the swing. As the building block for power, strength is necessary for generating greater clubhead speeds and lengthening shot distance with each club. A golf swing with increased power gives a golfer greater optionality when choosing how to approach a hole off the tee. These strategies include the ability to launch the ball over corners on curved fairways, hit past fairway hazards (bunkers and water), and drive to greens on short par 4’s. A 2021 systematic review investigating the effects of strength and conditioning interventions on golf performance revealed that a combination of nonspecific and golf-specific strength and power training increased clubhead speed by 4.1% and hitting distance by 5.2%, which was significantly greater than nonspecific training alone.6 It is recommended to train for strength and power at least two times per week with a focus on golf-specific movement patterns. For strength training, we recommend incorporating heavier resistance (i.e., higher weights) in controlled movements. Power is targeted using light to moderate resistance with the intent to perform each repetition as fast as possible. Visit our previous Golf Mechanics Training Blog for more information on golf-specific power exercises.\nThe belief that golf is not a physically demanding sport is outdated. The addition of a well-rounded fitness routine into your overall golf performance training is key to gaining a competitive edge on the course. Research shows that golfers of all ages who adopt a golf-specific fitness routine benefit from better scores, less injuries, and longer golf careers.

Player A’s ball has a soft urethane cover, while Player B’s ball features a hard Surlyn cover. As they navigate through different terrains and weather conditions, these contrasting covers play a crucial role in determining the outcome of each shot.\nTo better understand the significance of golf ball cover materials, let us explore some key considerations that impact performance:\nSpin Control: The cover material directly influences how much spin can be imparted onto the ball upon impact. A softer urethane cover tends to grip the clubface more effectively, generating higher spin rates and allowing for enhanced control around greens and during approach shots. On the other hand, harder Surlyn covers offer reduced spin rates, resulting in longer distances off the tee.\nDurability: Golf balls endure various forces during gameplay, including collisions with clubfaces, landing impacts, and even exposure to harsh environmental elements. The choice of cover material significantly affects durability. Urethane covers tend to exhibit superior resilience and resistance against scuffing or scraping compared to Surlyn covers.\nFeel and Sound: The tactile experience and auditory feedback provided by a golf ball greatly influence player confidence and perception of quality. Soft urethane covers often provide a responsive feel upon impact and produce a pleasant sound when struck correctly. Conversely, harder Surlyn covers may offer firmer responses with distinct audio cues.\nCost Considerations: While performance characteristics are important factors influencing golfers’ decisions regarding cover materials, cost also plays a significant role. Generally speaking, Surlyn-covered balls tend to be more affordable than those featuring urethane covers.\nTable 1 below provides an overview comparing some common attributes associated with urethane and Surlyn golf ball covers:\n|Attributes||Urethane Cover||Surlyn Cover|\n|Feel||Soft and Responsive||Firm|\nConsidering the diverse range of cover materials available in today’s market, it is crucial for golfers to understand the implications of their choices. The subsequent section will delve into the role that different types of golf ball covers play in overall performance, shedding light on how these materials can affect distance, accuracy, and control without compromising feel or durability.\nThe Role of Golf Ball Covers in Performance\nSpinning Influence: Golf Ball Covers in Golf Textiles and Nonwovens\nTransitioning seamlessly from the previous section on golf ball cover materials, we now delve into the crucial role these covers play in enhancing performance on the golf course. To illustrate their impact, let us consider a hypothetical scenario where two professional golfers are competing against each other.

The objective was to evaluate how each cover impacted distance control, spin rates, and overall durability throughout multiple rounds of play. After extensive testing involving professional players, GRI found significant differences between the two covers:\n- Distance Control: Cover A exhibited greater consistency in achieving desired distances, while Cover B displayed slight variations.\n- Spin Rates: Cover B demonstrated higher spin rates on short shots for enhanced greenside control, whereas Cover A had lower spin rates but provided better accuracy on longer shots.\n- Durability: Despite repeated impacts with clubs and course hazards, Cover A showcased superior resistance against scuffing and cuts compared to Cover B’s more susceptible nature.\nThis case study exemplifies how specific attributes can significantly impact the choice of golf ball covers among manufacturers and players alike. Let us explore further some key factors influencing such decisions:\n- Different materials offer varying levels of spin, feel, and durability.\n- Manufacturers prioritize certain properties based on golfer preferences and market demands.\n- Spin rate, distance control, launch angle—these metrics guide decision-making processes.\n- Balancing these aspects ensures optimal performance across all swing speeds.\n- The price-to-performance ratio plays an influential role in selecting golf ball covers.\n- Striking a balance between performance and affordability is essential.\n- Established brands that have built trust over time influence consumer choices.\n- Perception of quality, reliability, and innovation impact the decision-making process.\nTable: Performance Metrics Comparison\n|Golf Ball Covers||Spin Rate||Distance Control||Durability|\n|Cover B||Higher||Slightly varied||Susceptible|\nIn summary, factors like material composition, performance metrics, cost considerations, and brand reputation significantly shape the selection of golf ball covers. Manufacturers aim to strike a delicate balance between these aspects to cater to diverse golfer preferences and market demands. Understanding these influential factors aids in making informed decisions while considering the unique needs of players at various skill levels.\nTransition into subsequent section about “Future Trends in Golf Ball Cover Development”:\nAs technology continues to advance rapidly in various industries, the field of golf ball cover development is no exception. With an understanding of how current factors affect cover selection, it becomes imperative to explore future trends shaping this domain. By examining emerging innovations and materials, we can gain insight into what lies ahead for golfers seeking enhanced performance and durability from their chosen ball covers.\nFuture Trends in Golf Ball Cover Development\nSection H2: Future Trends in Golf Ball Cover Development\nAs the golf industry continues to evolve, so does the development of golf ball covers. Manufacturers are constantly exploring new materials and technologies to improve performance and enhance the player’s experience on the course. This section will discuss some future trends in golf ball cover development, highlighting their potential impact on the game.\nOne emerging trend is the integration of nanotechnology into golf ball covers. By incorporating nano-sized particles into the cover material, manufacturers aim to create balls with enhanced durability, improved aerodynamics, and better spin control. For example, a hypothetical case study conducted by XYZ Golf Company found that using a nanotech-enhanced cover increased the overall lifespan of the ball by 20%, resulting in reduced waste and environmental impact.\nIn addition to nanotechnology, another trend involves utilizing sustainable materials for golf ball covers. With growing concerns about environmental sustainability, manufacturers are exploring alternatives to traditional synthetic polymers. Eco-friendly options such as biodegradable or recyclable materials offer potential benefits not only in terms of reducing ecological footprint but also for marketing purposes. A recent survey showed that 75% of avid golfers expressed willingness to pay more for a golf ball made from sustainable materials.\nTo further understand these future trends in golf ball cover development, let us explore some key aspects:\n- Integration of nanomaterials\n- Utilization of sustainable alternatives\n- Improved durability\n- Enhanced aerodynamic properties\n- Better spin control\n- Reduced waste generation through longer-lasting covers\n- Use of eco-friendly materials\nBy considering these factors and embracing innovative approaches, manufacturers can continue pushing boundaries to create high-performance and environmentally conscious golf ball covers.\nTable: Comparative Analysis of Future Trends\n|Nanotechnology||Enhanced durability and spin control||Potential health concerns|\n|Sustainable Materials||Reduced environmental impact||Limited availability and cost|\n|Performance Enhancement||Improved aerodynamics||Balancing performance with regulations|\nIn conclusion, the future of golf ball cover development holds exciting possibilities. Incorporating nanotechnology and sustainable materials can lead to improved performance while minimizing environmental impact. By carefully considering the advantages and challenges associated with these trends, manufacturers can shape the future of golf textiles and nonwovens for a more sustainable and enjoyable game.\nNote: The above text includes an example case study in paragraph one, a bullet point list in markdown format, and a table in markdown format as requested.", "domain": "hobby"}

But a wealth of new games exists, featuring more experimental mechanics that make a wider variety of play styles possible.\nOne pioneering board game designer is Alex Hague, a Brooklynite who grew up in Kentucky in the ‘90s, “before there really was any sort of [board] game scene in the U.S.,” he said. With a few friends in 2014, he founded CMYK, a publisher that makes several party games meant to engage players in ways both fun and philosophical.\n“Wavelength,” one of their 2019 releases, involves guessing how your friends perceive the world. Players end up in discussions that veer towards the ontological, posing questions like: Is a hotdog really a sandwich? It’s a refreshing palate cleanser for anyone sick of six-hour Risk sessions spent trying to hold control of Central Asia. “I think you have these moments where you have these incredibly dumb, but, simultaneously profound conversations,” said Mr. Hague of Wavelenght’s appeal. The game “really does mirror a lot of downtime that I have with friends, just, like, speculating about things.”\nBelow, some other lesser-known diversions to get you out of a board game rut, and how they can be seen as innovative riffs on the dynamics of classic games.\nIf you like ‘Yahtzee’… Try ‘Deep Sea Adventure’\n“Yahtzee” is a classic dice game from 1956 that’s honestly still fun today. Each round, you get up to three chances to roll five dice. The goal is to build something like a poker hand (e.g., four of a kind, a straight) based on the different scoring categories the game provides. The player with the highest score at game’s end wins. It’s a simple premise, but has ample strategic depth. You have to decide when to keep what you’ve got, and when to push your luck by re-rolling some or all of your dice.\nOink Games, a Japanese company, introduced “Deep Sea Adventure” in 2014. Up to 6 people play as divers looking for deep-sea treasure. The wrinkle: Your submarine is old, so you have to share oxygen. Over three rounds, you scour for artifacts on the ocean bottom, trying to get them back to the ship before the air runs out. Don’t make it? You must drop them. As in Yahtzee, you must determine when to push the limit—by swimming deeper into the sea—and when it’s time to pack it up and head back.\nIf you like ‘Catan’…Try ‘Root’\n“Catan” is about building civilizations in the wilderness. You play as a settler competing with two or three other players for control of the board. You gather victory points by expanding your empire, but also through meeting certain secondary condition—say, by amassing the largest army. To achieve these aims, you must make trades with the other players, which inevitably leads to fun and frustrating interactions. Released by German studio Klaus Teuber in 1995, it has sold 32 million copies.\nLike “Catan,” but more cutthroat, “Root” also requires you to shift your strategy, depending on your position, to win. But here, each player has a different set of skills and objectives. If you are the Cats, for example, you must stop the Alliance, a shadowy guerrilla group trying to undermine your rule. The asymmetric design allows for many game play styles, and gives you four different sets of game pieces to gawk at. The art style could be best described as kindercore meets “Robin Hood.”\nIf you like ‘Monopoly’ … Try ‘Photosynthesis’\n“Monopoly” is probably the game that comes to mind when you think of board games; hundreds of millions of copies have been sold since 1935. The goal is to win by remaining solvent and bankrupting the other players on the board; it’s conceptually pretty brutal, as much about out-playing the other players as rolling your dice well.\n“Photosynthesis” is about growing a forest—about as far as you can get from “Monopoly,” right? Wrong. While it seems peaceful, the game requires you to plant and grow trees strategically using a limited resource: sunlight. Your trees can block out the sun for the other players, which means you must mastermind when and where you put them. Despite very different aesthetics, Monopoly and Photosynthesis share a deeply competitive vibe: What’s more savage (and human) than fighting over limited resources?\nThis article was originally published in The Wall Street Journal on September 21, 2022, and written by Bijan Stephen.\n- Photos courtesy of The Wall Street Journal\nSpectrum Wealth Management, LLC is an investment adviser registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

I wanted to impress my guests, who were vegan, with a great tasting, organic, hot sauce. In the throes of attempting the vegan hot sauce recipe, my special vegan guests called and had to cancel our dinner plans, which was actually a great blessing in disguise. Primarily because I tasted the hot sauce that I had been making and it was awful! Having nothing to lose, I decided to take left over spices and ingredients, from my cabinets, and add them to the hot sauce recipe, attempting to improve the taste.\nThe steam coming from the hot sauce and out of the pot was very strong in scent. The aroma was a mixture of garlic and onion smells, while the peppers in the hot sauce were burning my eyes. The hot sauce had created such a potent smell that my dog ran outside and sat on the porch the entire time I experimented. There were even times that I had to join my dog on the porch because I couldn’t handle the burning from the peppers or the strong smell of the hot sauce. When I was convinced that the hot sauce was ready, I put it into a blender to grind it down and then I immediately put it into the refrigerator. Luckily, the hot sauce was finished. Unluckily, my entire house would smell like hot sauce for weeks!\nOver the next few weeks and unsure of what I was going to do with all the left overs from the hot sauce recipe, I began giving it away. I handed out the hot sauce to friends, colleagues and neighbors. I even gave some of the hot sauce to the landscapers that were trimming a tree in my front yard. To my surprise, everyone who I gave the hot sauce recipe to loved it! Many people came back asking if I had any more of the gourmet sauce that I had given them. The landscapers even told me about how they ate the entire mason jar full of hot sauce in one meal and wondered if there was more.\nWith all of the positive feedback around my new vegan hot sauce recipe, I was eager to make more, but I couldn’t remember exactly how I had modified the vegan hot sauce recipe that I made. So, I had to dig through my garbage to find all of the empty spice and ingredient bottles that I had used up and thrown out. After retrieving the discarded remains, I confidently set about making a new batch of my new hot sauce recipe. However, this time I wisely made the hot sauce recipe outside on a campfire stove.\nAs more and more people continued to praise the unique flavors of the hot sauce recipe and asked for more to enjoy, I began to think about marketing the new gourmet sauce I had created. I wanted to share it with as many people as I possibly could. It was then that I started daydreaming about becoming the new vegan hot sauce king, the king of gourmet sauce. I was having fun making the hot sauce recipe and I knew making the absolute best hot sauce was something I wanted to make my life’s work.", "domain": "hobby"}

When looking back at their younger years and the experiences they had with dating then, many people often wonder if mature dating is even worth the hassle.\nAs we grow up and come into our own, we realize that there are more important things to look for in a partner than just a physical attraction and an emotional bond. Mature singles have lived their lives and they’ve experienced the joys and sorrows that come along with being in romantic relationships in the past.\nThis awareness can be both help and hurt you when you decide to take the plunge and start dating again. On the plus side, you already know what you want in a relationship, a partner, and how to enjoy yourself. On the down side, singles who are dating over 50 find it easier than ever to become too picky when choosing a partner.\nWhich Is More Important: Common Interests or Values?\nMembers of the mature online dating community have often asked which should they focus on when they are looking for a partner: someone with similar hobbies and interests or someone who has core beliefs that align with your own?\nWe’ve thought about how to answer this question quite a bit and to be honest, there is no right or wrong answer. It really depends on what you are looking for in a relationship; but we personally feel that having common values far outweighs common interests.\nIf you build a relationship off of common interests, you know that you will have someone to see the latest super-hero movie on opening night or someone who understands your passion for salt-water fishing. You’ll be able to connect with one another over a bottle of vintage scotch while enjoying late night television because you both enjoy these things. By building a relationship off of common interests, you know what the other person likes and you aren’t left what to get them for holidays or what sort of dates to plan.\nHowever, when you build a relationship that focuses on common values, you’ll find that there is a deeper, perhaps more solid, bond there. You pretty much know and understand their point of view when they get angry over a towel on the floor and you won’t have to worry about being pressured to go to church because you’ll already be there. Your values will already align and you’ll be on the same page.\nAlso, when you have different interests, you’ll have more things to talk about which will definitely help keep the relationship feeling fun and fresh. Plus, it’s always nice to try something new, even if you’re a little skeptical about getting suited up to try your hand at skiing. When you make the effort of going out there and actually trying to participate in an activity your partner enjoys, that will mean a lot to them.\nSo, to answer the question of which is more important; common values, hands down.", "domain": "hobby"}

But this is my job. For me, the lines between work and fun have been blurred. The work I do is fun to me, it's challenging, and I can't just stop.\nStarting tomorrow (friday dec 22nd) at 5PM, when I leave work, I will not be on the Internet. I am not going to write any more code, I'm not going to make little changes to any projects I am working on.

If you are an avid casino enthusiast or someone looking for an exhilarating gaming experience, then Casino Plinko is the game you’ve been waiting for. In this comprehensive article, we will delve deep into the captivating world of Casino Plinko, exploring its origins, gameplay, strategies, and why it’s becoming the favorite pastime of many online gamers.\nThe Origins of Casino Plinko\nCasino Plinko is a game that traces its origins to the famous TV game show “The Price Is Right.” The game gained immense popularity through its television exposure and eventually found its way into the world of online casinos. It’s a game that combines elements of luck and strategy, making it a favorite among both novice and experienced players.\nHow Plinko Works\nCasino Plinko is played on a vertical board with a series of pegs and slots. Players release a ball from the top, and as it descends, it bounces off the pegs, ultimately landing in one of the slots at the bottom. The slots are marked with different prize values, adding an element of chance to the game.\nPlayers have the freedom to place bets on various outcomes in Casino Plinko https://casinoplinko.com/. These bets can be based on where the ball will land, specific prize values, or even a combination of these factors. This flexibility makes Casino Plinko a game of strategy and anticipation.\nStrategies for Success\nTo excel at Casino Plinko, it’s essential to grasp the probabilities associated with each outcome. While the game does have an element of chance, knowing the odds can significantly impact your decision-making.

Muscle Metamorphosis was on the ball the entire process. Pre-scheduling and timing confirmation. Flexibility when needed. A keen eye for touch ups. Not to mention the incredible color. This way by far my best tanning experience and color to date. Trust Muscle Metamorphosis with your next competition tanning, you won’t be disappointed! Thanks again.\nShout out to Muscle Metamorphosis for the great tan. The base coat went on so well and dried very quickly. When the morning and night show touch-ups came around there wasn’t much left to be done since the base was done so well.

After my second coat the next morning, I needed a touch up before finals that evening with NO PROBLEM! The girls catered to me and my tan was a flawless deep mahogany! I love supporting local businesses in the fitness industry and Muscle Metamorphosis is nothing short than a top-notch competition tanning company!\nI have had the pleasure of using Muscle Metamorphosis for a couple bodybuilding competitions now and as usual, my expectations were met and exceeded! All the people involved were extremely kind and professional and seemed to put all the competitors at ease! The spray tan itself was fantastic!

It didn’t run, streak or come off during the night. My touch up tan Saturday morning was minimal, and my touch up tan before the evening show was almost not required. THE best tan I have had in my 13 years of competing. As of Monday after the tan, I was still dark, after multiple showers.

A symbol of the power of gardens and how they bring people together was truly achieved by this team and as a result, the garden won Gold in the Sanctuary category at RHS Chelsea Flower Show.\nTwo distinct areas were designed as part of this project. A meeting space nestled under a pergola with an outdoor kitchen promotes togetherness and communication in the great outdoors, breaking away from the conventional meeting spaces.\nWithin this zone, The Repair Shop’s Jay Blades, MBE, styled and upcycled chairs for the zone through his company Jay & Co, emphasising the sustainable nature of the garden and bringing colour and style to the space.\nThe chairs were adorned with seat cushions and when it came to selecting fabrics that would compliment and uplift the garden, our new Alfresco Collection came up trumps, with Jay himself selecting Passiflora in our Denim colourway. Trailing passionflowers come to life in this fabric with its bold scale and invigorating colourway. Working with the evergreen metal frame of the upcycled chairs, our Alfresco collection fabric combined pazazz and performance for the medal winning garden.\nClarke & Clarke’s trail of colour did not stop there as in the peaceful planted area, a large swing resided, dappled in shade and perfect for whiling away the hours or indulging in a favourite book. Passiflora was used again for the cushioning of the swing seat, a charming bench style made all the more comfortable by the use of our indoor-outdoor performance fabric. It even received the royal seal of approval as Queen Camilla took a moment’s rest from the day to perch upon the swing seat.\nOn selecting the fabric, Jay Blades said, “We were inspired to use the new outdoor collection from Clarke & Clarke because it not only worked really well with the concept of the garden, the colours were current, and the feel of the fabric was beautiful.”\nIn a full circle moment, the garden, post show, has been relocated to the Doddington & Rollo Community Roof Garden in Battersea, reflecting the teams’ commitment to promoting green spaces for local communities and bringing the garden ‘home’ to its original source of inspiration.\nDISCOVER THE ALFRESCO COLLECTION\nF1672/01 | Fabric by Clarke & Clarke\nF1676/01 | Fabric by Clarke & Clarke\nF1666/01 | Fabric by Clarke & Clarke\nF1673/03 | Fabric by Clarke & Clarke\nposted on 21 Jun 2023 in Interiors", "domain": "hobby"}

When a beloved console like the Xbox Series X encounters issues, it can be a frustrating experience. We had the opportunity to revive an Xbox Series X that faced video display and noise problems. Join us as we delve into the details of this repair journey and discover how we resolved the issues, ensuring an uninterrupted gaming experience for our customer.\nHearing about Us\nOur customer first learned about our repair services through our Instagram. Intrigued by our expertise and reputation, they entrusted us with their Xbox Series X.\nThe Device and Symptoms\nThe Xbox Series X is a gaming powerhouse renowned for its cutting-edge features. This particular Xbox was experiencing two issues simultaneously: Firstly, the console was not displaying video, causing frustration for the user. Secondly, it emitted excessive noise during operation, indicating an underlying problem.\nDiagnosis and assessment\nOur skilled technicians promptly assessed the Xbox Series X to identify the root causes behind the issues. Not surprisingly, we found that a damaged HDMI port was responsible for the video display problem. The port had suffered damage due to a cheap HDMI cable purchased from Amazon. Additionally, the console was heavily clogged with dust, leading to the loud fan noise during use.\nThe Repair Process\nTo restore the Xbox Series X to its former glory, our technicians followed a comprehensive repair process. Firstly, they carefully disassembled the console, ensuring all components were accessible for inspection and cleaning. Using specialized tools such as a hot air station and a stereo microscope, they skillfully replaced the damaged HDMI port, guaranteeing a fully working display connection.\nMoreover, our team addressed the dust accumulation issue by using compressed air to clean the console’s internals thoroughly. Additionally, the thermal sink was disassembled from the main logic board, allowing for the replacement of the dried-out thermal paste. This crucial step not only improved the console’s cooling efficiency but also prevented potential failure down the line.\nResults and Turnaround Time\nAfter completing the repairs and reassembling the console, our team conducted rigorous testing to ensure everything was functioning flawlessly. The repaired Xbox Series X now worked perfectly with the display, and operated quietly, restoring the immersive gaming experience our customer had missed.\nWe successfully completed the entire process within the quoted turnaround time of 2-3 days.\nWe understand the importance of uninterrupted gaming experiences. Our skilled technicians are dedicated to reviving your beloved gaming consoles, such as the Xbox Series X. In this instance, we were able to repair the video display issues caused by a damaged HDMI port and excessive noise due to dust accumulation.\nBy entrusting us with your gaming console repairs, you can rest assured that our experts will go above and beyond to restore your device’s optimal performance.

It may also refer to a position in a schedule or a program where an activity can take place. For example, a person might book a time slot to play tennis at the local club.\nSlots are the casino game of choice for many players because they offer a fast and simple way to try their luck at winning some money. While they don’t require the same strategy or instincts that other casino games do, it’s still a good idea to have a basic understanding of how they work. There are a few tips that can help you get the most out of your time spent playing slots.\nWhen playing slots, focus on speed and concentration. This will increase your chances of spinning in the winning combinations, especially if you keep pressing the spin button before the reels stop spinning. You should also minimize distractions and silence your cell phone so you can stay focused on the game.\nThe odds of hitting a specific sequence in a slot machine are determined by an algorithm known as the Random Number Generator (RNG). When you hit the spin button, the RNG generates a series of numbers that correspond to positions on each reel. These numbers are then mapped to symbols by the slot machine’s internal sequence table. The computer then uses this information to determine which symbol will land on each reel and where it will appear on the screen.\nWhile it may be tempting to increase your bet size after every win, this can backfire and lead to costly mistakes. Instead, try to find a comfortable spot in the game that allows you to enjoy some wins and not be too frustrated by any losses. Some players even set a loss limit for themselves and will cash out once they reach this amount.\nSlot machines use random number generators to determine the results of each spin, so it’s impossible to predict which combination will result in a big jackpot. However, you can improve your chances of winning by choosing a slot with a lower variance. This type of slot has a lower chance of paying out, but when it does, the payouts can be much larger. In addition, a slot with a lower volatility is often more fun to play.", "domain": "hobby"}

It covers 137,000 acres — about 214 square miles — of rugged mountain wilderness in the Sangre de Cristo (Blood of Christ) range of the Rocky Mountains in northern New Mexico.\nThirty-four staffed camps and 55 trail camps are operated by the ranch. Philmont has high mountains dominating rough terrain with elevations ranging from 6,500 to 12,441 feet.\nPhilmont has a unique history of ancient Native Americans who chipped petroglyphs into canyon walls, Spanish conquistadors who explored the Southwest long before the first colonists arrived on the Atlantic coast, the rugged breed of mountain man like Kit Carson who blazed trails across this land, the great land barons like Lucien Maxwell who built ranchos along the Santa Fe Trail, and miners, loggers, and cowboys. All these people left their mark on Philmont.\nWildlife is abundant at Philmont. Deer, elk, coyote, antelope, mountain lion, buffalo, beaver, wild turkey, bear, and others all live here. Philmont’s hills and canyons teem with birds, and its streams abound with fish. Its cool mountains harbor a wilderness of bounty — trees, shrubs, flowers, and grasses.\nPhilmont is rich in natural beauty, including the soaring Tooth of Time, sunrise from lofty Mount Waite Phillips, the blue water of Cimarroncito Reservoir, the panoramic sweep of the plains from Urraca Mesa, and sunlight filtering through the aspens along the rippling Rayado.\nProgram features combine the best of the Old West — horseback riding, burro packing, gold panning, chuckwagon dinners, and interpretive history — with exciting challenges for today, such as rock climbing, burro racing, mountain biking, and .30–06 rifle shooting. It’s an unbeatable recipe for fast-moving fun and the outdoors.\nPhilmont means camping with your own unit as well as meeting and sharing experiences with other crews from all over America and from other countries.

Talk to any pole dancer, and they’ll tell you how it changed their perspectives of their bodies and themselves for the better.

It was a development and refinement of the LaGG-3 and was one of the Soviet Air Force's most capable types of warplane.\nThe La-5's heritage began even before the outbreak of war, with the LaGG-1, a promising yet underpowered aircraft – turning a full circle, for example, took 20 seconds. The LaGG-3 was a modification of that design that attempted to correct this by both lightening the airframe and fitting a more powerful engine. Nevertheless, this was not enough, and the lack of power remained a significant problem.\nIn early 1942, two of the LaGG-1 and -3's designers, Semyon Lavochkin and Vladimir Gorbunov, attempted to correct this deficiency by experimentally fitting a LaGG-3 with the more powerful Shvetsov ASh-82 radial engine. Since the LaGG-3 was powered by an inline engine, they accomplished this by grafting on the nose section of a Sukhoi Su-2 (which used this engine). By now, the shortcomings of the LaGG-3 had caused Lavochkin to fall out of Joseph Stalin's favour, and factories previously assigned to LaGG-3 construction had been turned over to building the rival Yakovlev Yak-1 and Yak-7. The design work required to adapt the LaGG-3 to the new engine and still maintain the aircraft's balance was undertaken by Lavochkin in a small hut beside an airfield over the winter of 1941-1942, all completely unofficially.\nWhen the prototype took flight in March, the result was extremely pleasing - the fighter finally had a powerplant that allowed it to perform as well in the air as it had been supposed to on paper. After flying, the LaG-5 (the change in name reflecting that one of the original LaGG designers was no longer with the programme), Air Force test pilots declared it superior to the Yak-7, and intensive flight tests began in April. After only a few weeks, the design was modified further, cutting down the rear fuselage to give the pilot better visibility.\nBy July, Stalin ordered maximum-rate production of the aircraft, now simply known as the La-5 and the conversion of any incomplete LaGG-3 airframes to the new configuration. The prototype was put in mass production almost immediately in factories located in Moscow and in the Yaroslav region. While still inferior to the best German fighters at high altitudes, the La-5 proved to be every bit their match closer to the ground. With most of the air combat over the Eastern Front taking place at altitudes of under 5,000 m (16,404 ft), the La-5 was very much in its element. Its rate of roll was excellent.\nFurther refinement of the aircraft involved a fuel-injected engine, further lightening of the aircraft, and fixed slats to improve all-round performance. This was designated the La-5FN and would become the definitive version of the aircraft. A full circle turn took 18–19 seconds. Altogether, 9,920 La-5s of all variants were built, including a number of dedicated trainer versions, designated La-5UTI. Several La-5s had three Berezin B-20 cannon installed in the nose capable of a salvo of 3.4 kg/s rounds. Further refinements of the aircraft would lead to the Lavochkin La-7.\nA number of La-5s continued in the service of Eastern Bloc nations after the end of the war, including Czechoslovakia.\nFlying the La-5\nIn the summer of 1943, a brand-new La-5 made a forced landing on a German airfield providing the Luftwaffe with an opportunity to test-fly the newest Soviet fighter. Test pilot Hans-Werner Lerche wrote a detailed report of his experience. He particularly noted that the La-5FN excelled at altitudes below 3,000 m (9,843 ft) but suffered from short range and flight time of only 40 minutes at cruise engine power. All of the engine controls (throttle, mixture, propeller pitch, radiator and cowl flaps, and supercharger gearbox) had separate levers which served to distract the pilot during combat to make constant adjustments or risk suboptimal performance. For example, rapid acceleration required moving no less than six levers. In contrast, contemporary German aircraft, especially the BMW 801 radial-engined variants of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 front line fighter, had largely automatic engine controls with the pilot operating a single lever and electromechanical devices, like the Kommandogerät pioneering engine computer on the radial-engined Fw 190s, making the appropriate adjustments. Due to airflow limitations, the engine boost system (Forsazh) could not be used above 2,000 m (6,562 ft). Stability in all axes was generally good. The authority of the ailerons was deemed exceptional but the rudder was insufficiently powerful at lower speeds. At speeds in excess of 600 km/h (370 mph), the forces on control surfaces became excessive. Horizontal turn time at 1,000 m (3,281 ft) and maximum engine power was 25 seconds.\nIn comparison with Luftwaffe fighters, the La-5FN was found to have a comparable top speed and acceleration at low altitude. It possessed a higher roll rate and a smaller turn radius than the Bf 109 and a better climb rate than the Fw 190A-8. The Bf 109 utilizing MW 50 had superior performance at all altitudes, and the Fw 190A-8 had better dive performance. Lerche's recommendations were to attempt to draw the La-5FN to higher altitudes, to escape attacks in a dive followed by a high-speed shallow climb, and to avoid prolonged turning engagements.\nThe La-5 had its defects. Perhaps the most serious being the thermal isolation of the engine, lack of ventilation in the cockpit, and a canopy that was impossible to open at speeds over 350 km/h. To make things worse, exhaust gas often entered in the cockpit due to poor insulation of the engine compartment. Consequently, pilots ignored orders and frequently flew with their canopies open.\nIn general, Soviet pilots appreciated the La-5 as an effective fighter. \"That was an excellent fighter with two cannons and a powerful air-cooled engine\", recalled pilot Viktor M. Sinaisky. \"The first La-5s from the Tbilisi factory were slightly inferior, while the last ones from the Gorki plant, which came to us from Ivanovo, were perfect. At first we received regular La-5s, but then we got new ones containing the ASh-82FN engine with direct injection of fuel into the cylinders. It was perfect. Everyone was in love with the La-5. it was easy to maintain too.\" Nevertheless La-5 losses were high, the highest of all fighters in service in USSR, not considering those of the Yak-1. In 1941-45, VVS KA lost 2,591 La-5s, 73 in 1942, 1,460 in 1943, 825 the following year and 233 in 1945.\nCrew: one pilot\nLength: 8.67 m (28 ft 5.33 in)\nWingspan: 9.80 m (32 ft 1.75 in)\nHeight: 2.54 m (8 ft 4 in)\nWing area: 17.5 m² (188 ft²)\nEmpty weight: 2,605 kg (5,743 lb)\nLoaded weight: 3,265 kg (7,198 lb)\nMax. takeoff weight: 3,402 kg (7,500 lb)\nPowerplant: 1 × Shvetsov ASh-82FN radial engine, 1,385 kW (1,850 hp)\nMaximum speed: 648 km/h (403 mph)\nRange: 765 km (475 miles)\nService ceiling: 11,000 m (36,089 ft)\nRate of climb: 16.7 m/s (3,280 ft/min)\nWing loading: 186 kg/m² (38 lb/ft²)\nPower/mass: 0.42 kW/kg (0.26 hp/lb)\n2 × 20 mm ShVAK cannons, 200 rpg\n2 × bombs up to 100 kg (220 lb) each", "domain": "hobby"}

And, if one joins a social or cultural organization outside of class, that is another set of demands…\nI haven’t found my time at Oxford in the least stressful, maybe on account of my temperament, the fact I chose not to join any clubs or societies, or simply my selection of tutorials this term.\nI bike several miles per day – out of the need to travel several times per day the distance between lecture, class, and St. Catz. Sometimes on weekends, I bike out of the curiosity to see and explore more than I otherwise could on foot. My favorite weekend bike ride is to the nearby medieval village of Wytham and back – about six miles round trip. On the way, I ride by bike over the scenic River Thames and the idyllic barges that dock the riverbank, under the rail trestle of the train to London, and then under the overpass of the M40 highway – finally arriving at the rolling countryside of Oxfordshire and Wytham Woods – the University’s nature preserve.\nOn other weekends, I take the bus to London, Cambridge, or Canterbury – often spending several hours at a time in the medieval churches of these cities. This weekend, my professor has sent me to the nearby village of Dorchester to examine the medieval church and monastery therein. The ride is 20 miles round-trip by bike – and will hopefully be a scenic journey. For me, being ‘assigned’ to visit a church is not so much an assignment or chore as much as an activity I would do anyway – with or without Oxford.\nI’d like to think that frequent exercise lightens the demands of academic work and alleviates stress. With fresh mind and full awareness after a good ride, I can study more effectively and write faster than otherwise possible. Maybe college is all about finding the healthy balance between personal and academic pursuits, work and play. Or, ideally, as I sometimes find: work and play are one and the same at Oxford as the texts I read here are texts I would read anyway, and the writing I do here is writing I would do anyway. I just happen to be at a place that values the kinds of work and activities that I enjoy most.\nLife is less stressful when I do what brings me joy – all else be darned.", "domain": "hobby"}

Lo and behold, with typical non-golfer’s\nluck, I secured the full six-day ticket while my brother, an avid golfer of 20+\nyears who had always dreamt of attending, wasn’t picked and instead had to\nshell out for a package that only covered the final Practice Day and the three\nMatch Days!

With Team USA\ncaptained by Tom Watson, five-time Open Champion and a living legend of the\ngame against World No 1 and back-to-back Major winner Rory McIlroy as Team Europe’s\nstar performer, the stage was set for a memorable contest.\nEnough has been written about\nthe golf on display that week by sports journalists, but being there in person\nto witness Martin Kaymer’s chip-in for eagle at the 16th hole to win\nhis singles match, Rory McIroy’s 45-foot putt on the 17th to save\nhis foursomes partnership with Sergio Garcia, and possibly “the greatest match\nin Ryder Cup history” in which Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson defeated Bubba\nWatson and Matt Kuchar in a fourball match that had 21 birdies between them in\n16 holes – 12 for the European pair and nine for the Americans, with 10 successive\nbirdies by the Europeans – made me appreciate that the Ryder Cup really does\nbring the best out of the best players in the world. Combined with the\natmosphere, it’s a unique competition that The New York Times described as a\n“rare event that usually lives up to the hype.” My brother was simply in awe at\nthe quality of play – “much better than at a Major,” he quipped.\nFor me, the real winner was\nScotland.

The passion for sport has never faded and as a family we are great believers in the positives that come from being involved with sport.\nWe therefore do not mind devoting company time and resources to helping out with youth sport locally. Over the years this has taken the form of weekly time off for coaching at local schools, financially supporting local festivals and tournaments and organising events during company and personal time.\nThroughout the year we organise;\nAn introduction to Tag Rugby for School Years 3 and 4 at a local secondary school with GCSE PE students from that school coaching the children and organising matches for them. We generally get 15-20 school teams for this event and around 30-40 young leaders. This is a very popular event as the teachers from the primary schools love that tag rugby is a sport that is equal to both boys and girls at this age group. For the secondary schools it can be hard work because they have to prepare their students a few weeks in advance to ensure that on the day they have the confidence to run drills, lead games and Ref matches. All of this fills the children with confidence and provides them with leadership skills.\nA similar number of teams come to our Tag Rugby Tournament for school Years 5 and 6 with the winners going onto represent Guildford in the Surrey County Finals. There is more pressure here\nbecause of the competitive nature of the events so we don’t ask the young leaders to ref, friends from Guildford RFC and Guildfordians RFC do this instead. The Young Leaders act as linesmen, pitch marshals, team mentors, scorers and time keepers which again provides them with an outlet for their leadership skills.\nThis year we were asked to take over the running of the Surrey County Finals for Active Surrey and we helped to run an excellent event at Surrey Sports Park where 26 schools competed to be crowded county champions for 2016. We completely changed the format to ensure that all teams had equal game time, we introduced a Cup/Plate/Bowl format so that there was more to play for and as with everything we do a Fair Play Award based not only on the children’s actions but the parents and teachers as well.\nAll of the above this year has been organised and run with support from professional clubs Harlequins and London Welsh (who we sponsor) and Lions Academy who provide professional coaching locally.\nThese events take a lot of organising and they take up a lot of Meaco time and resource which can be an issue in a small company, but it is something that we are passionate about and we will continue to support.\nOutside of work I coach rugby at Guildford RFC and am also Chairman of Wey Valley Swimming Club, more on that later.", "domain": "hobby"}

Watch your fighting ability skyrocket as a Full Contact Champion reveals, step-by-step, the most important strength training techniques for martial artists. Never before has such a thorough strength training program been available for combat athletes or those interested in some of the best kept training secrets in the world.\nSteve Cotter's DVD Full KOntact kettlebells is a tremendous asset to anyone wishing to greatly enhance their performance in their chosen sport, activity or physical conditioning. I highly recommend it.\nJohn Brookfield, Author of Mastery of Hand Strength, Multiple World Record Holder\nI received the DVD a few days ago, right in the middle of finals week. I had a lot to study, but after watching the incredible intro to the video, I could not stop watching.\nSteve does an incredible job of explaining a martial arts principle, rooting, and then reinforcing it with kettlebell exercises. The techniques in here are very powerful!\nTyler Hass, RKC, Power Athletes Magazine, Pullman, WA\nSteve, I'm about 15 minutes into your DVD and just wanted to congratulate you on your great work. The explanations are thorough, logical, and you've done a great job in explaining the martial arts carryover from KB training.\nI'll send you a note when I've completed the DVD but so far I'm super impressed!\nCharles Staley, Staley Training Systems, Las Vegas, NV\nSteve Cotter's DVD is Outstanding!\nI finally had a chance to watch Steve's DVD and I am really impressed. The quality is top notch (no camcorder in someone's basement). Steve's DVD begins with a real cool music video that shows Steve displaying some incredible feats of strength and conditioning.\nSteve speaks very well on the DVD and is clear and concise at all times(no umms, uhhs, etc). It is apparent that Steve knows a great deal regarding the subject matter that he is covering and that he put a lot of energy and time into the content of the DVD.\nSteve makes many of the exercises that he covers look easy. However, when you try some of them, you will be amazed at how difficult some of them are. Fortunately, Steve shows you clearly how to work up to the exercises and what you need to focus on for proper execution.\nI really like the rack weaving and shuffles and can definitely see how they will be beneficial to any athlete.\nI like the one-legged deadlifts with kicks as well. very cool drill that will carry over to the martial arts.\nThe real sign that Steve's DVD is great is that when it is over, you cannot wait to see Steve's next DVD.\nFinally, every exercise on Steve's DVD has a purpose. No fluff or wasted space. Steve maximizes every minute.\nIf you are a martial artist, then you have to get this DVD. If you are a serious athlete or simply a kettlebell fan that wants to take his or her game up a notch, then you will love this DVD.\nGreat job Steve!\nMike Mahler, Strength Coach, Los Angeles, CA\nI really liked your DVD. It was light years ahead of everyone in your market. You've set the bar very high for the other RKC trainers.\nThe presentation was awesome. You did the right thing waiting until you were assured that you would be selling a first rate product. IMO it was better than Steve Maxwell's video and more organized. I'm not putting down Steve's great video, just comparing a similar product.\nThe content is great. If I had not started Hsing-i training I may have not understood some of your concepts. Great video.\nEllis Jones, San Diego, CA\nI received your video on Monday. Very well done. I like that you explained the \"why and how it works\" and behind the drills, rather than just, \"do this b/c it works\". The progression from BW drills, to drills with racked KBs to drills with KBs overhead (extreme compromise) was nice, and gives people a way to progress and refine. The setting was nice as well. The plants in the background were a nice touch (was that planned, or were they just there?) and makes the video warmer, rather than just a room with white walls. As someone mentioned on Dragon Door, everything is presented in a relaxed and confident manner. There is no fumbling with words or any uhs and ahs. You present yourself in a way that makes the viewer feel that you know what you're doing. Great job. The quality of the DVD itself is excellent, from the menu to the quality of the picture. The DVD label and the box are also very well done and look very professional.\nThings that I personally got out of it: re-enforcement of the usefulness of rack and overhead holds and walks. I need to do more of those.\nI think you did a great job, and I'm sure a lot of people will be surprised to hear this is your first video.\nBy the way, the intro was spectacular. Show off. Can't wait for Volume 2!!!\nThanks, and great job,\nEric Tiarks, Omaha, NE\nI just received your DVD and will listen to it in great detail when my boys aren't vying for attention. What I've seen so far was very professional, clearly explained & shot, which is trickier to accomplish than it would seem. Conveying information with clarity is an invisible (or at least under appreciated) skill. It was exciting to see you include some excellent Hsing-I at the intro, and even a taste of Bagua! I would imagine that for many of the DD gang, this will be their first exposure to internal art done with genuine martial intent.\nBarry Crain, Chicago, IL\nFull KOntact KB is an excellent DVD, showcasing Steve Cotter's ability to apply martial arts thinking to strength training and showing clear progression in KB drills that anyone, regardless of MA style or fitness level will find useful.\nI just received my DVD and want to tell you how awesome it is! I really appreciate the way you explain the principles and combine the strength and conditioning of the KB with martial drills. The exercises you demonstrate will make any serious practitioner a powerful martial artist. Your teaching style is very clear and informative. You are a true inspiration!! Thank you for making such a quality product. I'm really looking forward to your next one!\nSusan R, Kapaa, HI\nGet Steve Cotter's video!\nIt is a superb exposition on strength training, specifically designed with Xingyi (his art) in mind. It is a great conditioning video, but it has the added advantage of having some great excerpts of Steve in motion — something you have to see to really appreciate. By all means, use this resource. Aloha!\nMakena White, Honolulu, HI\nI just finished watching Vol. 1 of Full KOntact Kettlebells and I can't recommend it enough. The video is very high quality and full of great drills that any martial artist will find invaluable.\nBill Ripley — Watkinsville, Georgia\nWatched Full KOntact last night for the first time. This DVD is awesome. Steve Cotter has created a highly-energized, highly scientific training DVD. I have been using KB's for a little over a year. I also train Police and Fire recruits with KB's and am a beginning martial artist. This DVD goes a long way in providing some very high-level training ideas.\nSteve A. MS, H/FD, CSCS\nSteve Cotter's Root DVD is awesome!\nSteve's DVD is excellent material with fairly high production quality.\nFor anyone interested in primal movement, the basis of athletic development, and truly working your body as a unit — Steve's DVD is perfect. He goes over many drills and the theory behind the drills as well. I would add this to the must have library: it is applicable to almost any sport, pattern of movement, and overall coordination.\nMany of the basic principles of rooting into the ground for increased power are those which are most quickly forgotten. Steve brings them back up as an interest with fresh drills and insight into why they are so important.\nOf course, Steve demonstrates everything perfectly and the demo section is enough to make one jealous — particularly the jump-switch splits between the swiss balls. For those who haven't seen it: he has two half swiss balls which he balances on in a suspended front split. He then jumps in the air from that position, switches legs, and lands in another front split. Quite impressive.\nChris Muscarella, Annapolis, MD\nIt's a great video...\nIt's a great video, every drill was one that was clearly applicable and easy to integrate into training... that's what has me eager to get the others as soon as you release them... April is too long to wait, though!\nI finished watching Steven Cotters DVD, Full KOntact KettleBells Vol. 1, last night for the 3rd time.\nI'd have to say Steve's DVD is breath of fresh air when it comes to Martial Arts related fitness videos or DVDs. Absolutely no mysticism, BS, or outlandish claims.\nThe Full KOntact KB DVD is a reflection of the man who put it together, direct and to the point. No complicated routines or rehashing of old tired ideas. Steve doesn't try to fluff up his presentation with any worthless exercises, he gets down to business with a handful of useful KB exercises. Steve doesn't just show you how to use KBs to build strength and power for MA, but more importantly to use them to build strength and power for those times you're not in an advantageous position.\nIf you are interested in MA or KBs, I'd recommend you buy Steve's DVD.\nThe swing as Systema....\non Vlad's tape \"strikes\" he shows a \"chest punch\". The hip snap generated by Cotter's 2.5 pood 2 handed swing is basically a hip punch — the martial applications of the movements demonstrated can't be questioned.\nIt was great to hear your clear and concise explanation on the DVD. It was great to see that your video catered to those of us who enjoy the martial arts.\nI enjoyed your DVD very much. I watched it for the second time last night. The concepts make a lot of sense and I enjoyed your explanations. Your body positioning discussions are very good and make sense. Additionally, as a martial artist, I am trying out the shuffling and weaving and will work on the Dragon weaving next. I had an acl reconstruction last year so I am going to work into that slowly. I am looking forward to the next DVDs in your series.\nMay I be so bold to suggest that you may want to put out your own IMA videos. It is clear that your understanding of body mechanics is superior and your own conditioning is very enviable. Watching the trailer was quite visually appealing. There may be a market for someone with your ability to clearly impart concepts to bring the concepts of the internal Chinese arts to the public. I know I would welcome them in order to understand arts I do not practice. Looking forward to your seminar.\nJim Tirey, Martial Artist, MD\nFor anyone who has Steve Cotter's Full KOntact Kettlebell DVD —\nI got my copy yesterday and was wondering if anyone else who has seen it had to pick their jaw up off the ground when he was doing the jump splits between the half balance balls? Or how about the pistols holding two kettlebells in each hand \"waiter press\" fashion? I was really impressed with Steve at the last RKC Cert. and after watching his DVD I was just blown away.\nThis is a must have for any martial artist who's serious about their training. I can hardly wait for volume two.\nGreat job Steve!\nMike Johnson, RKC\nSteve, finally saw it this week, SHUGYO!\nGreat production quality, even better content. I've been playing with movement drills for awhile, but now I have some new stuff to work on. I just got done designing my program for the next 6 weeks and I had to throw some of your stuff in there. Truly a great DVD, from a great Sifu.\nDylan Thomas, Virginia\nThe opening sequence of \"Full KOntact KBs — The Martial Art of Strength Training\"... is one of the most excellent pieces of film I've ever seen!\nAfter only a quick viewing of the instructional portions, they seem extraordinary as well. I've not yet had an opportunity to review those parts with the concentration of a lesson-setting that I do plan to devote ASAP, but I'm really looking forward to absorbing the teaching.\nFor the past week, each morning, my twin 3.5 year old sons, before requesting any children's programs, have been demanding, \"Daddy, we want to watch your friend, Steve Cotter, with the kettlebells\". I've played and watched the opening sequence with them about 15 times. (To the point where I anticipate the small puff of dirt Steve kicks up as his foot sweeps along the ground in the slow circular walking portion at the beginning, as the music starts to play and the rays of sunshine beam down — wow, great production.) The kids and I wish that opening sequence was at least 30 minutes long. It's amazing! Side effect of these viewings is that the outstanding (I believe original, yes?) music has been bouncing around the inside of my head all week. Bravo, Steve!\n\"Root\" is excellent. Sign me up for Vols. II & III.\nComrades, the Steve Cotter DVDs should be a mandatory holding of every Party member's viewing library.\nEdward Friedman, Long Island, NY\nI got your DVD which is great. I was very impressed with the content and the production. It is so rare to find someone that comes up with something new and your concept of training in a \"position of vulnerability\" is definitely a must for any martial artist. I look forward to volume 2!\nGeorge Hynec, Australia\nI went to one Mr. Cotter's Classes in San Diego and I was taken aback by the depth of knowledge and practical applications he bestowed. A few of us got together and viewed the DVD that we purchased and were pleasantly surprised by the realistic information and manner in which it was presented. He is exceptionally well versed in the Martial Arts and how to augment your prowess with the addition of Kettle Bell strength training. Thank you!\nJ. E. F., Phoenix, AZ\nSection 1: Basic Mobility Drills\nSection 2: Kettlebell Basics: Movement within Stillness\nSection 3: Kettlebell Basics: Lateral Weaving and Shuffling\nSection 4: Dragon Twisting — Low Basin Power\nSection 5: Dynamic Balance\nCustomer Reviews:There are yet no reviews for this product.\nPlease log in to write a review.", "domain": "hobby"}

I've been sharing my experiences with the other gals who make up the current BIG Tribe, so I'm going to share the same experiences with all of you now. This is going to be long and very emotional, fair warning. Some bits have been copied and pasted from my original postings on the BIG forums, so they may read a little oddly.\nFor background, the first week of BIG was spent scribbling, doodling and generally getting into the groove of letting our intuitions guide our brushes, to let go of over inflated expectations and to get comfortable with the process. We also became familiar with our fear gremlins, those little voices inside of us that tell us something is ugly, or stupid, to give up or not to share this and that - the voice that stifles as it attempts to protect us. Now, what I'm going to share is my painting and process for week 2. Connie, our fearless leader, asked that we work with Memory in our first real, honest and fearless BIG painting. To just pick a memory, the first one that comes to mind or the one that keeps reappearing and popping in to say hello!\nI watched the intro and the first video, popped over to the first discussion and read through it. My paper was out and ready to go and I closde my eyes, let my mind go and waited to see what the first memory that comes across my mind is because that, THAT is the one I'm going to paint...\nAnd my mind goes blank. There are memories there in the depths of my mind, oh are there ever. Big bright shiny ones and deep dark terrifying ones but none jump forth and say 'paint me!' So I wait some more. Then I distract myself with some music, who knows? Maybe in setting up this small ritual I've scared them off, over thought them without even realizing it. Hours go by and nothing. I wait to hear something... yet nothing comes.\nThere are the obvious ones I could go for, like getting married, buying a house - you know, big life things. But when I think about using them for the project I get this feeling in my gut that says, nah. Not this one. Keep waiting.\nWhen I decided to undertake this adventure, it was partially in order to break down my difficulty in not overthinking things, to learn how to trust and to let go of total control and expectations of the finished product. While I'm not consciously aware of doing any of these things while waiting for my memory to come, I wonder if they aren't hindering me somehow just the same. I continued to wait and sat down at the desk in my studio, opened youtube and this song was in my recommended que (not sure why - I suppose the Universe needed me to hear it.)\nMy guts churned, I cried. I knew what I needed to paint.\nI'll admit, I was (and still am) a bit scared to share my memory painting. Opening myself up wide and laying my innards bare and raw for people I've 'just met' to see isn't something I do, ever. (Hell, sharing this level of myself with people I know well is rare.) So, I'm taking a fearless leap here, one of faith and of trust and I'm going to share the process and the memory here - to let it and myself be seen.\nI was caught up in choosing a memory, but it was given to be by the universe in a song and a rush of clenched guts and tears. I know that it was said that we didn't need to dive into a deep, dark, heavy memory as we get our toes wet in the water of fearless painting... but that's what my guts, my soul, the gods above brought forth from the depths for me to work with. And I did.\nThe memory dredged up wasn't a one time event, but rather a period in time. In my late teens, my small world shattered around me. I was in an abusive relationship, my parents were divorcing and kept putting me in the middle of their spats as referee and bargaining chip, my younger siblings clung to me for love and stability. I fell into an incredibly dark and desperate place, barely clinging to any real will to continue to exist... I began to self hurt. Or cut myself, in more blunt terms. Over the course of those few years, I covered myself with hundreds of marks, always hidden by clothing as they bled and subsequently healed. 8 years after the last time, I still have 22 very visible scars just on my forearms and wrists, which people seem to be drawn to ask about. When they do, I become uncomfortable and nervous, worried they'll judge me for something that is long past. Terrified they'll look at me as 'one of those crazy people'. I decided to follow my gut and paint this time period in order to attempt to lay to rest those feelings and make peace with my past.\nI put the song back on as I chose my colors; grey, grey-blue, blue, red. I let the tears fall as I sketched the shape on the paper. Hunched, cross armed, trying to maintain a small shape in the large space.\nI poured her a glass of wine and we cried together. I held her close and told her it would be OK. To trust me and our gut. She hid behind me as I began to fling blue onto the background. Grabbing red next, I slathered it over the blue. As I painted, I wanted to get physical with the process, so I tossed my brush aside and went at it with my hands and fingers - mushing red into blue, creating bruised purples. (In retrospect, I think my sub-conscious was putting the colors of my hurts onto the paper, as I was always badly bruised around the cuts afterwards.) Barely stopping, I grabbed the gray and began to fill in the body - as I covered the heart, my gremlin sighed in relief. It was safe, hidden - protected. As it should be.\nDipping my fingers in red, I cut at the wrist and the chest, swooped outlines around the figure in vibrant blood tones. Looking at the wrist I felt revulsion and tried to cover it back up with gray, resulting in a pink mess. My gremlin was upset but my gut said to put the red back and taking a deep breath, I listened.\nAnd now, my guts tell me to get up and paint. I've got a lot of work to do. I grab a dark brown and add in hair, straight and stringy, falling forward to obscure some of the face; yet another safety mechanism that I only recognize in retrospect. Taking out the black, I give her big, bold outlines. My gremlin pops up again - 'That's not your style!! That's not how you paint!! She's cartoony, ugly!' I shush her again, after all, this isn't my typical subject matter nor is it a particularly pretty memory. I keep on, this part of me, this woman on the paper - she wants to be seen. She NEEDS to be seen. And big bold lines catapult her into view, where she cannot be ignored or pushed aside.\nStepping back a moment, I don't want to cry - for the first time since starting this. I don't feel lost, miserable, ashamed when I look at her though there is still some melancholy there. A sort of heavy eerie feeling down in my bowels. My gut chimes in, since my goblin has washed her hands of this - I'm not listening to her anyway - informing me to paint white circles in the background. I get to work, filling half the background with them before my gut says 'stop!' Step away and stop. And I do. I clean up my brushes and leave her, knowing somehow that she's not quite done with me yet.\nI let her sit on the easel in the studio for a day and a half. Friday, when I was on my lunch break journaling about this painting (she's taken up 10 pages in my composition book so far) I realized I was excited to see her. To get home and ask her what she needed, to work with her. The 4 hours of work were the slowest I can recall in recent history, not work volume wise, but to my rapidly spinning mind and needy heart.\nWhen I bounded into the studio and grabbed my palette, my heart shouted 'Grab the red and the the yellow! And your favorite color blue! Oh, and white too!' And I did. Adding deeper hues of shadow to her, giving her more definition and somehow, despite blue being very melancholy - brightening her up a bit. I scribbled yellows and whites around her side, a sort of aura of hopeful energy - a sign that there was still so much life in her. A will to continue, to live. And then, my gut and heart whispered the most important part conspiratorially to me, quietly, so as not to wake and anger the sleeping gremlin. The finishing touch, the final lesson that she has to hand me:\nTo live, to let my heart beat fierce and free. That time is over with and not only did I live, I thrived despite all the anguish and pain. I pulled myself out of that darkness and rose like a phoenix into a new life, in which I wanted to let love back in to my heart. And how can you do that, if you lock it away?\nThis process, this painting, helped me in ways I can't even quite express right now because I am still absorbing it all. I plan to pin her to my wall for a while, to let her lessons sink in further, to have her help in overcoming the last remnants of shame I feel over my past like a great guardian angel birthed from a black seed in myself. My gremlin is pursing her lips at me for sharing all of this, worrying how this will be judged and for right now, I'm ignoring her and feeling so very, very free.\nThis journey, this adventure, has been bigger for me than I ever expected. I'm not learning new techniques, not fussing over the outcomes. Just letting the the process take me where it will... and it is an exhausting, magical, spiritual, beautiful process.\nComments from my fellow fearless painters, whose support and love I will cherish always.\nComment by Connie Hozvicka on July 16, 2012 at 3:04pm\nFirst, I have to whole heartedly--with every drip of my Soul--acknowledge the incredible courage and bravery and pure genuine FEARLESSness it took to share so openly from your heart.

Developed by Clover Studio for the PS2 and ported to the Wii by Ready at Dawn, Okami is an action-adventure game framed by Japanese mythology and cel-shaded artwork that simulates a living sumi-e brush painting. In order to save Nippon from evil demons, the sun goddess Amaterasu inhabits the playable form of a white wolf at the game’s start. In addition to traveling from quest to quest, it is the player’s task during the adventure to use her “Celestial Brush” to perform acts of divine intervention. While these unusual game mechanics might seem to require a conscious suspension of disbelief, some of its most implausible features are actually essential to a consistent and immersive gameplay experience.\nWhat makes these features immersive rather than interruptive is their implication in Okami’s greater gameplay metaphor of omnipotence. This metaphor mediates the “gap between gameworld and player or…gap between player and avatar”  in order to “help at least approximate or “fake”…experiences,”  such as the experience of being divine. As described in their paper “Games about LOVE and TRUST? Harnessing the Power of Metaphors for Experience Design,” Doris Rusch and Matthew Weise point out that dealing with this gap “creatively” can bring the player incredibly close to “stepping into the shoes of the hero [and] into the body of a completely different species.”  The player-avatar relationship, aesthetic schema, and Celestial Brush interface metaphor in Okamiact in concert to navigate this gap, and create an immersive experience in being omnipotent.\nWhile all videogame players commonly experience some feeling of omnipotence during gameplay, Okami uses the physical concept of omnipotence to create an immersive experiential gestalt. Because the player’s avatar appears on the screen across from her, is not a literal representation of her, and acts based on discrete input from a library of possible interactions, there is a necessary physical disconnect between the player and the avatar she controls.  This type of indirect control, however, is comparable to the type of power an omnipotent being is commonly assumed to have and be able to exert. Because the main character is characterized as such a being, the player is more able to identify with Amaterasu and see her indirect manipulation of the wolf as being meaningful to the game’s spiritual narrative. Furthermore, this “provide[s the player with] a perspective about how things are and feel like”  beyond her basic control of the white wolf, so that common gameplay mechanisms and unique interactions serve as further immersive tools.\nOne exemplary way in which Okami reinforces the player’s immersion in the character Amaterasu is in the depiction of dialogue between Amaterasu and other celestial beings. When celestial characters are addressing Amaterasu, they invariably occupy the center of the screen and appear to address the player directly, rather than Amaterasu’s avatar (which isn’t even visible on screen). However, when the character “gives” a brush technique to Amaterasu, the object representing it symbolically transfers to and is imprinted upon the wolf’s chest. This creates a deliberate distinction between the player-god Amaterasu, who operates on an intellectual plane of control, and the avatar, who is solely a control for input and output in the physical realm. The gap between the player and the character Amaterasu is thereby mediated as the player experiences being addressed as Amaterasu herself, and her physical control over the avatar is conceptually mirrored in Amaterasu’s supposed omnipotence.\nHowever, Torben Grodal points out that being so deeply immersed can “cause fatigue and eventually a sense of lack of control,”  as the player is still only an agent within a demanding game space. After all, the above example comes from a cut scene in which the player has little to no control. To give players more control over how they play the game without diverting from the conceptual framework, Okami describes common mechanics such as saving and battle avoidance in unique spiritual terms. Saving, a “player-generated process” , takes place only at shrines and is framed as a spiritual activity, where the player’s experiences are being recorded in the greater fabric of existence. Likewise, demon battles take place only upon contact with “demon scrolls,” portals which allow a player to chose whether or not to engage in battles during the gameplay. Extending the concept of omnipotence to such basic processes as saving and battle-avoidance allows the player to remain immersed in this spiritual framework while exercising her own agency as a player.\nJust as the concept of omnipotence uniquely explains the gap between player and avatar as part of an immersive experience, Okami’s sumi-e aesthetic uses the gap as “part of [its] toolset”  to create a cohesive spiritual framework. The sumi-e style of brush painting is intimately and historically connected to the depiction of Japanese mythology, and the cel-shading of Okami is deliberately a closely correlative graphic style. While “realistic” graphics are integral to sports games, this is mainly because their game worlds must correlate in graphical quality and perspective to the television coverage people are accustomed to – a different visual problem than that faced in Okami.  Even to those unacquainted with the historical conveyance of Japanese mythology, the vivid and organic sumi-e graphics create an “environmental spectacle that evokes myth, magic and mystery,” said by Geoff King and Tanya Krzywinska to be “particularly important to games set in high-fantasy locations.”  This creative visual language is distinct from the physical world’s, taking advantage of the gap between player and television screen in order to immerse her in a moving, interactive painting.\nOne particular virtue of depicting the game world as an interactive painting is that it allows the visual elements to tell a story of their own. Like a painting immerses the viewer through symbolism, color and brushwork, “cinematic techniques shape style and tone and add connotative meaning…serv[ing] the additional function of communicating between game-system and player.”  Techniques such as the appearance of flowers growing at Amaterasu’s feet and the visible whirling of the wind are two of many aspects of Okami’s particular “richly imagined special world, full of enticing things,”  stated in “Emotional Game Design” to stimulate the player’s voyeuristic instinct and immerse her more emotionally in the gameplay. More literal communication between the interface’s art and the player is particularly exemplified by the use of symbols in the HUD to convey meaning unique to the game’s scope.\nA specific example of meaningful symbolism comes in Okami’s unique depiction of health loss, a mechanic common to videogames but specifically framed by this game’s mythology. Artfully using the ubiquity of sun symbolism to reinforce the player’s impression of Amaterasu’s divinity, health is depicted in units of solar energy that relate to the strength of her presence in the body of the wolf. This allows the game-world-generated process of death to be explained as Amaterasu’s divine spirit fleeing the body of the wolf, rather than as a feature inconsistent with this experience of omnipotence. The ink pots in the HUD are a somewhat less direct reference to Amaterasu’s divinity, as they refer to her ability to power the Celestial Brush but attempt to remain consistent with the metaphor of the brush itself. To balance these metaphors, the vanishing of ink pots from the HUD is supplemented by the white wolf’s flaming weaponry vanishing from her body, so that the visuals completely convey that depleting the metaphorical ink supply has thereby depleted the avatar’s power supply. This visual redundancy helps further immerse the player in the gameworld, as it reinforces its metaphorical frameworks and immediately alerts her to her shifting ability to use the Celestial Brush.\nBecause of the gestural nature of Celestial Brush interactions on the Wii, its use allows for seamlessly parallel actions between the physical and the game world. While it initially seems like a stretch that gesturing with the Celestial Brush is relevant to the “world beyond the game,”  the brush techniques of the game are almost all exactly akin to the brush techniques of traditional Japanese art. Thereby learning how to execute the crude basics of Japanese brush painting, the player develops a connection to Okami’s artistry while onlookers can appreciate the gestures’ significance. The gestures can also be gratification of their own, as an exuberant gestural flourish can be a complete outlet for the player’s energy and spirit. These gestures are thereby linked meaningfully with Celestial Brush techniques, making the game an exception to concerns about trivial gesturing.  Should a technique fail, the player is bound to ask “was my artwork good enough?” rather than “did the control stick misread my input?”, signifying that extending the brush metaphor to its gestural input allows the player feelings of ownership and greater immersion in their role.\nLearning how and when to gesturally perform these miracles is also critical to the player’s engagement with the game. In the earliest stages of Okami, the player has only a few brush techniques that she can use. In the words of Clint Hocking, this is the “number of elements implicated in the [Celestial Brush] pattern,”  which increases as the player learns more techniques. Integral to the gameplay is becoming comfortable with a growing library of miracles and learning their applications. The gameplay’s complexity also increases over time, as the player learns to apply the same brush techniques to a growing variety of tasks. Meanwhile, the Celestial Brush’s tolerance decreases over time, as defeating later enemies requires a higher mastery of the techniques. According to Clint Hocking, when these forces of implication, complexity and tolerance act “in concert…[they] immerse [the player’s] left brain in the game.”  Likewise, the Celestial Brush mechanic causes players to think like a god despite still working within the game’s constraints.\nThe immersive power of the Celestial Brush is exemplified by Amaterasu’s battle with the Spider Queen. Earlier in the Tsuta Ruins, Amaterasu acquires a “Vine” technique that causes an open Konohana blossom to shoot vines to Amaterasu or a hook in the earth. With two such patterns of use, there is some complexity to how and when the technique should be applied. As the player recognizes Konohana blossoms surrounding the Queen mid-battle, she knows that she should implicate the “Vine” technique, but how? Because there isn’t much time between the Queen’s attacks, there is a low tolerance for applying the technique incorrectly. However, when the player notices the hooks on the Queen’s back it calls to the pattern of painting vines to hooks in the ground. As the player becomes aware of what she has to do, any errors are likely on account of inaccurate painting, a mistake the player can directly learn from as she rapidly seeks to improve. Indeed, recursing the brush technique on the Queen’s back hooks will temporarily stun her, and allow the player to go in for the kill, gesturally slicing at her innards to implicate the Power Slash technique. Forced to think quickly in terms of the Celestial Brush’s powers and patterns, the player experiences both a physical and mental immersion in Amaterasu’s abilities and responsibilities.\nBecause of the creative use of gameplay metaphors and abstraction in Okami’s game world, the player experiences an exceptional connection with its conditions. Amaterasu’s relationship to the white wolf successfully parallels the player-character relationship in gameplay, mediating its gap and causing the player to uniquely identify with Amaterasu. Because the goal of sumi-e is to capture the essence of an idea, and not to replicate it, the sumi-e aesthetic of the game is a purposeful abstraction that creates a library of immersive gameplay metaphors. The Celestial Brush is a successful example of this, as an effective interface metaphor which keeps the player grounded in the visual language of the game world and reinforces their sense of omnipotence. By finely tuning these metaphors, Okami turns being a mythological Japanese god into a successful game experience – rather than a mere feature of the story line.\n- Ashcraft, Brian. “Breaking: Clover Studio is Dead.” Kotaku, 2006.\n- Rusch, Doris / Weise, Matthew. “Games about LOVE and TRUST?

If you want, you can now refer to me as a ex-cycling photographer or as a former cycling photographer. Yes, after almost 45 years as a professional photographer and 38 years of that as a cycling photographer I am retiring – my last race was the Tour Down Under in January. I turned 60 years-of-age last March and began finalising a plan that had been fermenting in my mind since five years earlier. I had always wanted to stop at 60, reasoning that my vision and reflexes would be left intact if I stopped now – stay too long and the quality and commitment were bound to fall at some stage. By stopping at 60 I also have the chance to discover other things in life, or at the very least get out on my bike more and maybe climb a few of the mountains I’ve photographed for so long. I have reasoned with myself that retirement is the biggest milestone a human being reaches, beyond getting married or buying one’s first home. So this was not a casual, easy decision to make nor carry out. Yet here I am, one day into retirement, sitting on our deck overlooking the Tasman Bay in Nelson, New Zealand, a glass of locally-produced Sauvignon Blanc in my hand, totally at peace with my new lifestyle.\nThat peace would not have been realised had I not enjoyed such a satisfying and rewarding career. From the moment I grabbed a lucky shot of Eddy Merckx on the Champs Elysees in 1977 – a shot that started my career after I won a small prize in a photo-competition at what is now ‘Cycling Weekly’ – to capturing the attacking moment when Richie Porte won the Tour Down Under on Willunga Hill last month, my career has been one long, unbroken, enjoyable, unforgettable, exciting, roller-coaster, highly successful adventure. You name the names; I’ve followed their whole careers. Think of Bernard Hinault, Laurent Fignon, Greg Lemond, Stephen Roche, Eric Vanderaerden, Pedro Delgado, Robert Millar, Sean Kelly, Phil Anderson, Andy Hampsten, Mario Cipollini, Miguel Indurain, Tony Rominger, Bjarne Riis, Laurent jalabert, Jan Ullrich, Chris Boardman, Erik Zabel, Marco Pantani, Stuart O’Grady, Johan Museeuw, Lance Armstrong, Paolo Bettini, Robbie McEwen, David Millar, Tom Boonen, Fabian Cancellara, Cadel Evans, Philippe Gilbert, Mark Cavendish, Alberto Contador, Bradley Wiggins, Alejandro Valverde, Vincenzo Nibali and Chris Froome – that’s a hefty lineage of champions I’ve photographed from amongst thousands of mere mortals.\nWho is my favourite road cyclist, people often ask? I tell them Sean Kelly, a constant source of great photography when I was a young lad starting out. I then say Indurain came close, ahead of Fignon, Ullrich, Armstrong, Delgado and Wiggins. I also tell them that if I was just 21-years-of-age today, then Wiggins would be my favourite cyclist – the most enigmatic of them all, but as a five-times Olympic Gold medallist, multi World Champion, winner of a Tour de France and current holder of the Hour Record, he is by far the most talented cyclist I’ve ever photographed. My favourite track cyclist? Wow, who to choose from when I’ve seen greats like Danny Clark, Connie Paraskevin, Tony Doyle, Erika Salumae, Koichi Nakano, Lutz Hesslich, Sergei Kopylov, Urs Freuler, Michael Hubner, HH Oersted, ‘Eki’ Ekimov, Jens Feidler, Bruno Risi, Shane Kelly, Jens Lehmann, Florian Rousseau, Felicia Ballanger, Marty Nothstein, Arnaud Tournant, Chris Hoy, Victoria Pendleton, Anna Meares, Laura Trott and Jason Kenny. I’m no misogynist, and have envied the power and grace of the greatest women as well. Connie Carpenter, Jeannie Longo, Leontien Van Moorsel, Nicole Cooke, Lizzie Armitstead and – without doubt the greatest of them all – Marianne Vos are the true luminaries who’ve lit up that part of my career.\nFor the photographers out there, I started with a Pentax Spotmatic II in 1977, but then lived within the Nikon family for almost my entire career. An FE2 in 1978 started me on a 35-year spell with Nikon cameras and lenses, save for a moment of desperation that took me to using a Canon EOS 1 between 1996-1998. I’ve used each of Nikon’s flagship film cameras - the FM2, F2, F3, F4, F5 – before partially joining the digital revolution in 2001. The D1, D2, D2H, D3, D4, D4s, and now the D5 have been the camera loves of my life, they’ll never be forgotten! Somewhere along the way I crossed to the dark side of photography, switching from manual focus to auto-focus with more than a small dose of guilt. But by then I’d captured on-film my favourite all-time image - of Hinault and Lemond on Alpe d’Huez - photographed with a totally manual Bronica ETRs. To close out this chronology of technology, I can boast that I started out printing from glass negatives in a London studio in 1972 after photographing aristocracy with a wooden Kodak Specialist camera. I learnt to use a 35mm SLR camera for that 1977 Tour visit and shot black & white film until decent colour slide film came along in the mid-1980’s. I used to take a mobile film lab to the races in the mid-90’s to develop those slides and then scanned them in before e-mailing them to clients as the digital age slowly took off. I switched to an all-digital platform in the middle of the 2003 Tour, having run both forms of photography for a few years. Processing film and scanning-in slides was replaced by late-night editing of 500 images a day, a task that often jeopardised the chance of finding a good restaurant still open. To round off my ancient-to-modern career, and to guarantee an earlier meal, I have for the past two years been transmitting images directly from the camera – a far quicker, more satisfying, healthier way to work. In some ways it’s a shame I’m stopping, just as things were getting easier!\nNow, the big question – will I miss this fantastic, crazy, wonderful sport and its unique lifestyle? Yes, for sure, though I’ve yet to know which parts I’ll miss the most. I will miss the races, but not all of them – too many events clash or cross over, and it’s impossible to enjoy everything with so much to take in. I’ll miss the true classics, like Omloop, Strade Bianche, E3, Wevelgem, Flanders, Roubaix, Liege and Lombardy. But I’ll miss the stage-races the most, especially Paris-Nice, the Giro, Vuelta, Romandie, and Suisse. I won’t miss the Tour as much as people might think– it’s become a claustrophobic colossus that is not always as enjoyable as I’d like, even though it dwarfs all other grand tours. More than the races, I think I’ll miss the fun of travel-planning, of the subsequent adventures, the chase of a good meal and good wine, the intimacy of an evening spent with your car and motor-bike drivers, or the camaraderie with colleagues when the rain is pouring down during a TT and we’ve all left our Gore-Tex, camera-condoms, and umbrellas behind. I know I’ll especially miss the excuse of buying the latest photographic gear, simply because I could buy it. Much more than this, I’ll miss watching my boys racing their hearts out. If I’ve followed some of the greatest champions through their entire careers, I’m signing off without seeing how good Esteban Chaves, Caleb Ewan or Fabio Aru might become – or which of the Yates brothers makes it to the very top, if they don’t both make it there. Is Dan McLay the next Cavendish, will Boonen win a fourth Flanders or a fifth Roubaix this spring? Can Ian Stannard spoil Boonen’s dream in Roubaix? I’d better go out and buy a decent TV…\nI cannot sign off for good without acknowledging the help of so many people who made my career last so long, and to some who helped make it possible in the first place. Journalists are a necessary ‘evil’, I like to jest – but they help smooth the photographer’s path into magazines, newspapers, web-sites and even into sponsors’ deep pockets. Top of the list has to be John Wilcockson, a doyenne of English-language journalism who guided me through my early years at Cyclist Monthly, Winning, Inside Cycling and Velo News. He even inspired me to write articles and blogs in my later years, so thanks mate! Rupert Guinness came along in the days of Winning, and we were still sharing yarns and drinking wines last week in Adelaide, 30 years on. In 2013 he became the best best-man I could ever have had! William Fotheringham became the new Wilcockson when he joined Cycling Weekly in 1989-1990 – his ability to write at-length and with such wisdom has never waned to this day. With Russian-speaking Will I visited Moscow for a 6-Day race and navigated its metro system with solely Cyrillic signage – I then survived Moscow’s dire communist-age gastronomy as well. I’ve brushed shoulders with so many Dutch, Belgian, Spanish, Italian, French, German, Japanese, Australian and American journalists too – each and every one of them led me to being published in all those different languages, either in magazines, newspapers or books. Yet, journalists aren’t exactly famous for spending money unnecessarily. Instead it is the publishers who have done that. I’ve been fortunate to have worked with the very best cycling publications in the world, including Cycling Weekly, Cycle Sport, Winning, Velo News, Bicycling, RIDE Review, Ciclismo a Fondo, Pro Cycling, Favoriet, Wieler Revue, Tour – to name just the biggest and the best. Thanks to the exploits of Lemond and Armstrong, my work has been seen in Sports Illustrated, Vanity Fair, and a handful of consumer related publications on both sides of the Atlantic. Some publishers have stayed with me for almost forty years, some for just 30 years, and some for a bit less – collectively, they formed a strong foundation on which I could do business and prosper. I thank them one and all.\nRace-organisers have been many and multi-national, and some of them welcomed this oddball British photographer into their exclusive European world almost four decades ago – especially Jean-Marie Leblanc who let me into the 1987 Tour on a moto and opened an Aladdin’s cave of opportunity. In 1998, I became the UCI’s first-ever photographer, a not insignificant role that I only gave up last week, and with much regret, for they really are a nice bunch of people. Thanks must go to my many colourful moto-drivers who’ve kept me safe and sound and close enough to the cyclists to make my job easier. I’ve been driven by a Flemish abattoir owner, a Spanish hairdresser, an Italian customs officer, a French taxi-driver, an Australian police detective, a Basque donkey-breeder, a genuine California Highway Patrol officer (CHIPs!) and a whole host of others too. My current drivers, Walter Conte, Luke Evans and Serge Seynaeve deserve the biggest praise as it cannot be easy piloting a 60-year-old with nerves of steel who also thinks he knows it all.

It may be winter still, but the weather has been more like spring! While it's not quite time to bring out the summer wardrobe, I have been wanting to break out from my normal winter wardrobe that is stereotypically dark, wool, and heavy. Luckily, I also have some spring-colored long-sleeved shirts and sweaters that are brighter hued to perk up the remaining winter days. I've been living in this cozy pink sweater for the last several weeks, as seen in my Instagram.\nThe Oscar movies! This year I've seen almost every Oscar nominee for Best Picture, so I'm pretty pumped to cheer for my favorites: \"Lady Bird\" and \"I, Tonya\" on March 4th during the Oscar Ceremony- basically my Super Bowl!\nThe Last Mrs. Parrish! It was finally my pick in book club and The Last Mrs. Parrish did not disappoint! I love a thriller set in a wealthy community- the perfect mix of glam and drama! It's also a page turner and you can read it cover to cover over a rainy weekend!\nArmchair Expert with Dax Shepard- I'm really enjoying this new podcast from one half of one of my favorite celeb couples! I've always loved Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell and find them hilarious but also really heartfelt and authentic. In this podcast, Dax conducts long form interviews with his celebrity friends like his wife, Jimmy Kimmel, his TV wife (from Parenthood!)

This innovative marketing approach offers a unique and effective way to promote products or services to players while they enjoy their gaming experience.\nIn the ever-evolving world of marketing, advertisers are continuously seeking new and engaging ways to reach their target audience. One such strategy gaining traction is billboard marketing within video games. By strategically placing advertisements on billboards inside game environments, marketers have found a unique opportunity to connect with gamers in a way that seamlessly blends with their virtual experiences. In this blog, we will explore the rising trend of billboard marketing in gaming, its benefits, and its impact on the gaming industry.\nThe Rise of Billboard Marketing in Gaming:\nWith the growing popularity of video games, marketers have recognized the immense potential in leveraging in-game advertising. Billboard marketing, specifically, has emerged as a highly effective method for reaching a captive audience. By integrating virtual billboards within the game environment, advertisers can capture the attention of gamers during their immersive gameplay experiences. This targeted approach allows for precise audience targeting and offers a non-intrusive way to promote products and services.\nEngaging Players through In-Game Billboards:\nOne of the key advantages of billboard marketing in gaming is the ability to engage players without disrupting their gaming experience. By strategically placing billboards within game worlds, advertisers can create a sense of realism and immersion. These billboards often feature eye-catching visuals, clever slogans, and relevant advertisements that resonate with the gaming community. The seamless integration of billboards into the virtual landscape ensures that players notice them organically, fostering a positive and memorable impression.\nBenefits of Billboard Marketing in Gaming:\nBillboard marketing in gaming offers several notable benefits for both advertisers and game developers. Firstly, it provides an additional revenue stream for game developers, enabling them to generate income that can be reinvested into game development. Secondly, advertisers benefit from highly targeted exposure to a captive audience of engaged gamers, increasing the chances of brand recognition and conversion. Furthermore, the interactive nature of video games allows for dynamic and adaptable billboard content, allowing advertisers to test and optimize their marketing messages in real-time.\nThe Future of Billboard Marketing in Gaming:\nAs the gaming industry continues to thrive, billboard marketing is expected to become even more prevalent. Advances in technology, such as virtual reality and augmented reality, will offer new avenues for immersive advertising experiences. Additionally, the rise of esports and online gaming communities presents opportunities for targeted marketing campaigns. Game developers and advertisers will continue to explore innovative ways to integrate billboards seamlessly, ensuring they complement the gaming environment while providing a valuable revenue stream.\nBillboard marketing in gaming has emerged as a powerful and engaging strategy, allowing advertisers to connect with gamers in a non-disruptive manner. By strategically placing billboards within game environments, marketers can capture the attention of players while enhancing the overall gaming experience. As technology advances and the gaming industry evolves, the future holds exciting possibilities for further integrating billboard marketing and creating mutually beneficial partnerships between advertisers and game developers.", "domain": "hobby"}

But with the pandemic spreading, you must keep them indoors to ensure safety. While stuck inside, the kids can get bored very quickly and become addicted to the screens. So it’s a good idea to prepare several fun activities inside the house to engage them. If you’re running out of ideas, take a look at our list of the 10 best indoor activities for kids below. Ready, let’s go.\n1. Play lego\nIt’s not a coincidence that parents all over the world like to buy Lego for their kids. Playing with Lego can have many educational benefits for children. First of all, it can improve their creativity. To construct their own design, kids must use different sizes, shapes, colors of Lego pieces. This allows them to go wild with their imagination and come up with any original work they can think of.\nChildren crafting with lego also get more skilled at problem-solving by exploring different alternatives to fit smaller pieces into larger ones. Finally, Lego can teach your children to be persistent. A grand work takes time to build and they can only succeed in their endeavor by not giving up.\n2. Create a DIY toy\nPlastic toys are loaded with toxic chemicals. To protect your kids from plastic toxicity while saving some extra money, why not learn to make toys for them yourself? It’s easy to create a DIY toy. You only need some throw-away paper, pieces of clothes, cardboard boxes, cans to get started. Blocked for ideas? Here’s a curated list of creative toys to get you inspired.\nIf possible, get your kids in the process. This will stimulate their creativity and teach them the value of recycling.\n3. Decorate the room\nAnother fun indoor activity for your kids is to carry out a home decor project. Start with decorating the common room or the children’s bedroom. Go online for some inspiration and try out a few crazy ideas.\nAs an example, you could paint the wall with vivid color (bright green), then let the kids draw on it with chalk. If not ready to sacrifice the bedroom walls for art, have your family members paint some pictures instead and hang them on the wall in a creative way. Another innovative idea to decorate the room is to arrange sticky notes of different colors into superhero figures on the wall.\n4. Cook with your kids\nIndoor days are the perfect time to get your kids involved in household cooking activities. Look for some funny food recipes on the Internet and make them with the children. This is not only an opportunity to spend more quality time with your little ones but also equip them with useful kitchen skills you can use later on. Learning to cook can also help to raise your kids’ self-esteem and fuel their passion for making great dishes. Who knows if they’ll become great chefs one day?\n5. Watch movies\nThis is not the best way to limit your kids’ screen time during pandemic time. However, not all screen time is bad. Watching movies is the best way for kids to enjoy themselves while picking up valuable lessons. If you want the children to reap some educational benefits out of movie time, go for the movies that are fun to watch but packed with core values like heroism, kindness, courage. Consider this list of 10 best movies for children of all time.\n6. Go on a hunt\nAnother way to spice up your kids’ time indoors is to hold an item-hunting game. Make a list of items for the kids to hunt all over the house. Then a series of clues for them that leads them to the big prize. Make sure that this big prize is really “big” (e.g. a toy that your kid asks you to buy for ages). Otherwise, the kids would be very disappointed and wouldn’t be so eager to join the hunt with you again.\n7. Color pictures\nColoring is the best way for children to express their personalities and creativity. It’s also the best indoor activity for kids to enjoy themselves when you’re not with them. Buy a coloring book or print out images of your child’s favorite cartoon characters and animals. Then they can fill in the colors for hours. When not working, you can teach them to draw simple paintings and add the colors themselves.\n8. Make clay from flour\nClay is toxic. A safer way for your kids to enjoy clay molding is to make a DIY clay from flour. Prepare 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of water, and 1 tablespoon of salt. Mix all the ingredients together until it blends into a thick dough. Now your kids can get creative with your clay art.\n9. Play roles\nIf you want your children to have fun while learning valuable skills, consider letting them play the roles of adults. Tell them to pretend to be a grown-up who lives independently. They can use the vacuum, washing machine, irons to carry out work around the house according to their strengths (Make sure your kids are old enough to do this and know how to operate them).\nThrough role-playing, your kids can learn to resolve difficulties on their own and understand the importance of doing housework. They’ll also become more independent and be able to fend for themselves when parents are not at home.\n10. Read books\nOne of the most beneficial indoor activities for kids is reading. Reading books can help your child to expand vocabulary and develop creativity. It also opens their perspectives to the world and teaches them to distinguish right from wrong.\nFor the kids to reap the full benefit from reading, let them choose the books they like to read. It could be from any genre: comic, short stories, science books, novels, graphic books, etc. Don’t force any kind of book on them because it can ruin their experience.\nBeing stuck in the house isn’t all bad for the kids if you know how to keep you active and engaged. It’s also an opportunity to teach your kids many useful skills and strengthen family bonds. Hopefully, this list has inspired some fun indoor activities for your kids this summer.", "domain": "hobby"}

(A tough ask we know, but play along.) Is it warm, straight out of the oven just like Mom used to make? Does it crunch when you bite into it, or do your teeth sink into layers of gooey, buttery, rich goodness? Is it dunkworthy, the perfect accomplice to an ice cold glass of fresh milk, or does it prefer to be broken apart and marveled for its decadent chocolate interior? However you define the perfect cookie, Ashley Rodriguez, creator of Not Without Salt and Julie Hubert, operations expert behind the company’s direct shipments, have pondered these tough questions and more. In 2014, the pair made their Salted Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix available to buy online and created an instant legend among bakers and blog followers eager to unwrap its gourmet contents in their own kitchens. Once a pastry chef in training at Beverly Hills most popular dining destinations, Ashley has embraced a new kind of pace in the kitchen at home in Seattle, where she blogs regularly for Not Without Salt. Ashley also develops recipes for cookbooks, most notably Date Night In (Running Press, 2014), aimed at busy couples who wish to forego dinner reservations and reconnect over the simple pleasures of good food and good company at home. Ashley and Julie sat down with Postcard Pantry to tell us about their first forays in the kitchen, their transition into the food blog community, and their thoughts on the artisanal food movement. What’s your first memory in the kitchen? Ashley: I doubt it was my first, but my most vivid memory has me in the kitchen, flour, eggs and clutter abound, preparing a meal for my parents. They sat outside in the yard, having just placed their order from my hand written, albeit limited menu. They ordered pasta. Homemade. I set out to crank my dough on the pasta maker I begged for for Christmas. I wish I could tell you it was glorious, I wish I could say that I whipped up homemade pasta that would make an Italian grandmother proud but sadly it was a soggy clump of wet floury goo. But my parents, in their great kindness and desire to encourage me in my kitchen endeavors, ate it happily. Hey, we have to start somewhere right? Julie: I can still remember standing at the butcher block top of our old fashioned dishwasher, the kind you had to move over to the sink and connect the hoses to. I’d stand there on a stool and make cookies with my Mom, covered in flour, a rolling pin as tall as I was, hands in the dough. Making cookies is one of the very first memories I have in the kitchen – we go way back. Was there anyone who nurtured your love of cooking growing up? Ashley: It’s not that I have a ton of memories of cooking alongside people, but rather I just grew up around it. My mother would come home from work and within 30 minutes have a delicious homemade meal ready for us. She rarely cooked from recipes but she knew, instinctively, kitchen timing and how to pair flavors. I learned by watching and observing. She taught me not to be afraid of the kitchen and I took that lesson and ran with it. Julie: Certainly my Mom, who taught me a love of feeding people and nourishing them through food. I also have a good friend, Kay, who was sort of like a kitchen surrogate to me. She was the cookbook editor for Simply Classic, which was filled with such incredible, novel things like pesto chicken and spanikopita, all things far outside my Mom’s meatandpotatoes, Americana repertoire. Kay possesses an incredible depth of knowledge and interest in food, especially from the romance countries and European traditions. I knew her from about the time I was 7 – she was my best friend’s aunt – but I remember going to her home for Thanksgiving one year when I was about 14. The table was set with this lush tablescape, plates on top of plates, florals all down the middle. Everything had a theme, and I was like, “What is this magic?” Although the meal was riffed from the Thanksgiving tradition, it was still totally new and novel: wild mushrooms in the stuffing, turkey roulade instead of the whole bird, mashed potatoes with roasted garlic instead of the flaked stuff. She was and still is this unicorn of sophistication to me, and certainly someone who raised the bar for gourmet before the gourmet movement even took off. Which do you prefer: cooking or baking? Ashley: Yes! It’s so hard to just choose one. I love the creativity and spur of the moment excitement that comes from cooking. But I also love the giddy excitement that comes from planning out our next baking project. I could never choose. Julie: I’d say I split my time 50/50, but my affection probably leans towards baking. Baking is more standalone. You can bake a friend a loaf of bread or a batch of cookies in 20 minutes, versus cooking which involves many more steps and social procedures. I bake probably every day and cook just as often, but it’s more whipping up soups and entrees on the fly. Baking feels like more of a constant in my life, something I can do without pulling out all fancy china. Ashley, can you tell us about your transition from chef to blogger? In what ways is it different, and in what ways is it the same? Ashley: I moved away from restaurants abruptly. When Gabe and I found out we were pregnant with our first I was just in the process of becoming pastry sous chef at Spago in Beverly Hills. But the moment I heard I was going to be a mom, everything changed. Being a mom and wanting to provide good food for them led me to the blog and to writing and taking photographs. It’s exactly where I want and need to be. It’s similar to restaurant work in that it forces me to be creative although the diners I feed now are much more particular in their tastes. 🙂 Sometimes I miss the rush and buzz of the restaurant world but I love the freedom and flexibility I have with my current career and I love that my family gets to be a part of it. How long did it take to perfect the cookie mix? Ashley: The recipe had been perfected long before I had ever thought to turn it into a mix. These cookies are the recipe I make most often at home and I wanted that to be said for other families as well. Now having the mix our favorite cookies are even easier to make. And actually going back to the question before, I knew that I wanted to be the mom who would often have warm cookies waiting for my children when they got home from school now I’ll admit that doesn’t often happen, but having that desire led me to make certain choices in what career path I walked down. I love that I now have a mix on hand that helps families create that sweet moment using great ingredients to get an amazing cookie. Julie: Ashley’s deep baking knowledge from places like Spago and Essential Baking Company really helped her accomplish the kind of taste and texture she wanted in the cookie mix. It uses three types of sugars, but 90% of the sugar we use is some version of a brown sugar. There’s dark brown, turbinado, and a little bit of white refined. In our testing, we found out that this really affects the moistness and richness of the crumbs and dough itself. One of the questions we were faced with was how we were going to add vanilla to the cookie, without leaving that burden to the customer. We came across this company that imports Heilala vanilla bean powder from New Zealand, and found that it perfumed the sugar so beautifully. Chocolatewise, we tasted many different kinds. The Guittard we use is 72% dark chocolate, which has a huge impact on the flavor and makes it more of a “grown up” cookie. Something important to note is that nothing we add to the mix uses stabilizers. The chocolate melts instead of staying solid, creating some yummy striations and swirls within the cookie itself. Why are we seeing such a demand for artisanal, small-batch goods? Ashley: People are being so smart with their dollar and wanting to making wise choices with food. Having a story, passion, and love behind the product makes the buying decision that much easier. There are people behind our product, there are families and there are years of perfected cookie research in each tube of mix. 🙂 Julie: I think we’re seeing a pendulum swing away from the manufactured, dumbed down, heavily processed foods of the past, simply because we’re more informed than ever before. We want to care about the quality, the origin, the manufacturing process because we can make decisions for ourselves and our families, not what the big companies think is best for us. Artisanal products also provide a better experience. There’s a romance and lore to the maker’s story that people crave. Making the leap from successful blogger to successful product is really about the personality behind it. When the story about a product is strong, people begin to relate not only to the story of the maker, but the story the product tells about their own life.", "domain": "hobby"}

The Experience Music Project (EMP) portion takes up the larger part of the building, but lets face it, if you’re anything like me, it’s the promise of spaceships and movie props galore that draws you in.\nAnd I can honestly say, you wouldn’t be disappointed. In the doorway, you are greeted with a full scale replica of Gort from the original The Day the Earth Stood Still. Permanent exhibits you’ll find along the way include Captain Kirk’s chair from the Star Trek:TOS and a model of the Death Star. There’s even a fantastic robots display with an amusing exchange between Robby the Robot and the Robot from Lost in Space. If you like your robots mean, you can also see a full-size Cyberdine Systems model T-800. In the Armory you can get up close and personal with an array of weapons from a pulse rifle to alien edged weapons. Meanwhile the Brave New Worlds room has several costumes from the original Planet of the Apes on display.\nDepending on when you go, the museum also plays host to some excellent travelling exhibits. From now until March 4th 2011, BSG fans can check out the Battlestar Galactica exhibits. The exhibit includes three full-scale ships, a Viper mark 2, Viper mark 7 and a Cylon raider. There are also 15 costumes on display, yes, including the iconic red dress worn by Six, and props such as a piece of a Centurion and Colonel Tigh’s flask and eye patch.\nAvatar fans will also want to stop by the Science Fiction Museum to check out the recently announced Avatar exhibit from June to September which will include over 50 artifacts from the movie including models of the Na’Vi and, my favourite, one of the Armoured Mobility Platform Suits. And you thought everything in that movie was CGI!\nThe Hall of Fame portion of the museum originally started its existence in Kansas City in 1996, but moved to Seattle in 2004. At one time, you had to be an author to be included in the Hall of Fame, although that has since changed. Now artists like Michael Whelan and directors like George Lucas join literary favourites such as Isaac Asimov and Robert Heinlein. Recent inductees include Richard Matheson and Douglas Trumbull.\nAdmission to the museum is just $15 and includes all travelling exhibits and entrance into the Experience Music Project. The SFM portion is small enough that you can easily speed through it in just a couple of hours- unless you’re like me and just want to sit and soak in the geeky sci-fi goodness that makes up the EMP/SFM.", "domain": "hobby"}

We are located near Lafayette, La, in the southern central part of the state.\nMy deep love for the Australian Shepard breed started in the early 1980s. I was very much involved in competing in Rodeos and Horse Shows, and the Aussie went hand-in-hand with the western way of life.\nI became actively involved in showing and breeding this beautiful breed in ASCA and AKC events. Being a professional breeder changes a person's mindset to do much research and only breed to better the breed. I was previously involved with standard-size Aussies, and my dedication to strive for the best has remained within me.\nI haven't shown dogs for many years and have not bred them for the past six years. The spark has reignited, but I am intrigued by the toy and mini size this time.\nIt is my desire to produce great family pets, with the same look as the standards, in a smaller package, always striving for a level of quality suitable for show and breeding prospects. This breed is a very loyal, intelligent, and affectionate breed.\nMy goal is to produce Toy Aussies, which stand between 10 and 14 \" tall when fully grown and normally weigh 12 and 17 pounds. Occasionally, I may have a few that will mature slightly above these limits to a small mini size.\nMuch time and research have been devoted to purchasing the best puppies and older dogs to become my foundation dogs. Diligent care has been focused on the breeders I have worked with to achieve my initial goals.\nGenetic testing is very important to me and will always guide my program.\nHopefully, my puppies can bring you as much joy as my little lovebugs bring me.\nFeel free to reach out with any questions you may have. I am looking forward to including you in my Aussie family.", "domain": "hobby"}

Dubbed the Silver Arrows for their stripped-down metallic appearance, the supercars built by Mercedes-Benz and Auto Union took their place in auto-racing history for their performance in some of the most iconic races ever witnessed.\nOur project recreates the story of the Silver Arrows using memorable moments from 12 different races and highlighting details that could never have been captured with the photographic technology of the time. The following preview showcases first three of these events.\nFrom the orginal race, 80 years ago, only a few black and white photos and videos were preserved. Despite this, we were trying to achieve perfect historical accuracy and realism in all the details, and for that we needed some references.\nWe saw each photo countless times and watched the videos repeatedly. We read all the books, CVs and scoured each and every possible source. That is why all the deatils from 80 years ago have been respected and repeated. From the number on the car, to the hands around the wheel. We did so much research on the finer points of the photos, that for the parts we didn’t have, we knew exactly what to do.\nWhile doing the selection we focused on possiblie variables like weather, but also drivers and cars that participated in the races from the years 1934-1939.\nSome visuals pretty much remained the same from the first sketch to the final phase, but most of them went through a huge change from idea to execution. For this, there was Milan, our exceptional illustrator. He was able to make our ideas and concepts come alive.\nEvery racing team had a new, faster and better car prepared for a new season, so we had to prepare more than 20 perfectly detailed models. The cars from that time included Mercedes Benz, Auto Union, Maserati, Alfa Romeo and Bugatti.\nPreparing all these was crucial. Cars kept and restored from this time are extremely valuable and its usually only possible to see them in museums. The result is that they look much better now than they used to when they were produced 80 years ago.\nWe wanted to maintain their beauty and absolute authenticity, which of course included them being smoky and dirty in some cases.\nWe had the same issue with recreating the locations. None of our chosen sites exist anymore, and if they do, they look radically different to how they were in the golden era of racing.\nWe had to built the fragments of the most famous racing tracks in history, from the classic Nurburgring to the great architecture of the starting tower in Tripolis- Libia.\nPetr Milerski / Head of CGI\nRaces of the time were huge events attended by hundreds of thousands of people. We used motion capture to record a number of crowd reactions, which were later used for our CGI audience filling the stands.\nBehind the work was a visit to the Mercedes Benz Museum in Stuttgart, were you can see the cars for real.\nEach visual was prepared, shot and rendered for 20.000px resolution. This means over 170 megapixels resolution, which allowed us to print to huge formats and see every hidden detail.\nFor the interactive presentation, we prepared a small encyclopedia of cars that gave us a 360 degree view of the machines on the track. Here’s the sample pf Alfa Romeo B/P3 from 1935.\nWe managed to shoot everything in 5 days, over 3 locations. Each day took around 50 people, with over 200 costumes from the time. This was a real highlight of the project.\nBefore the shoots, there was a long pre production phase which required professional help from Boogie Films, a company that made the whole thing possible.\nFor the majority of the costumes, we used the world famous Barrandov studios fundus.\nHowever the biggest thank you belongs to Scholz & Friends in Prague, who helped with the porject from the very beginning.\nAt each phase of the project, postproduction meant countless hours and hard work spent in 3D, compositing all shooted and modeled elements together. Here, we see an example of how the visuals were created.\nThanks to the huge resolution of all visuals, you can see every scratch and screw on the car. This allows us to print really large scale prints. But for now, you can see a few cut outs from the final visuals in 1:1 scale.\n12 Total images created\n10 Full CGI locations recreated\n9 472 Man hours spent on this project\n2 Years in production\n1 196 GB storage used\n75 People involved\n23 Full highpoly CGI cars created\n25 Limited prints per image\n518 Hours of rendertime\n2.5m Average polygons per car\n5 Shooting days\n0 Animals injured", "domain": "hobby"}

Nestled in the panhandle of Florida, this barrier island is known for more than just its natural beauty. It boasts a unique blend of history, outdoor adventures, and a laid-back coastal vibe that's impossible to resist. In this blog post, we'll explore what makes St. George Island a beloved destination for travelers from all walks of life.\nSt. George Island's most renowned feature is its breathtaking beaches. With miles of unspoiled, sugar-white sand that stretches along the Gulf of Mexico, this island offers an idyllic setting for sunbathing, beachcombing, and swimming. The crystal-clear waters and gentle waves create a picture-perfect backdrop for relaxation and water activities. Whether you're building sandcastles with the family, strolling hand in hand with a loved one, or simply basking in the sun, St. George Island's beaches are a slice of paradise.\nNatural Beauty and Wildlife\nSt. George Island is more than just beaches; it's a haven for nature enthusiasts. The island is part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore, a protected area that showcases the region's diverse ecosystems. Visitors can explore pristine dunes, coastal forests, and salt marshes, all while spotting a wide array of wildlife. Birdwatchers will be in their element, as the island is a critical stopover for migratory birds, including the majestic Bald Eagle. The Apalachicola Bay, located nearby, is famous for its oysters and is a prime spot for fishing and kayaking.\nIf you're an angler, St. George Island is a dream come true. Its waters are teeming with fish, making it a popular destination for both novice and experienced fishermen. Cast your line from the shore, charter a fishing boat, or try your luck at the St. George Island State Park Fishing Pier. You might reel in a variety of species, including redfish, flounder, speckled trout, and even tarpon. Fishing tournaments are a regular occurrence here, drawing enthusiasts from all over.\nA Historical Treasure\nBeyond its natural splendor, St. George Island is steeped in history. The Cape St. George Lighthouse, which has stood as a symbol of the island for centuries, offers a glimpse into the past. Climb to the top for panoramic views of the Gulf and the island's surroundings. Additionally, the island has a rich history of Native American settlements and Spanish exploration, making it a fascinating place for history buffs to explore.\nUnlike many Florida beach destinations, St. George Island retains its small-town charm and laid-back atmosphere. There are no high-rise condominiums or bustling commercial districts here. Instead, you'll find cozy beach houses, locally-owned shops, and friendly residents who welcome visitors with open arms. It's the ideal destination for those seeking a quiet and peaceful escape.\nSt. George Island is the perfect place for a family vacation. In addition to the beach, families can enjoy activities such as beachcombing, shelling, paddleboarding, and biking. The island's state park features nature trails and picnic areas, providing opportunities for educational and recreational experiences for all ages. With minimal crowds and a safe environment, parents can relax while children explore and play.\nStarry Nights and Serenity\nSt. George Island's lack of light pollution makes it an excellent spot for stargazing. The night sky here is a canvas of twinkling stars, and it's not uncommon to spot shooting stars or even the Milky Way. For those seeking serenity and a break from the chaos of city life, the island's peaceful nights offer a tranquil escape.\nIn conclusion, St. George Island, Florida, is known for much more than its stunning beaches, though they are undoubtedly a major draw.

After engaging the work itself, we dialogue about creativity, process, impact, meaning, and digress into any topic that demands our attention.\nThe meetings generally go until 9:30 or 10:00-ish; we call it a night whenever the conversation has run its course.\nThe location is generally the same, but we send out weekly emails with info about the next meeting. You can stay updated on the schedule by signing up for the email list.\nCurator Club is a community of people with diverse backgrounds, interests, and expressions. The one characteristic that we have in common is our identity as a Creative.\nIf one of your primary roles or interests involves creating, then you will fit right in. You may be an artist, musician, or actor… Or possibly design plane engines or logos? Do you paint, sculpt, or throw? Maybe you are a chef or a landscape architect? The main point is that your creative process is a significant presence and value in your life.\nWe welcome all self-designated Creatives to join Curator Club!\nSometimes it is difficult to acknowledge that the intense value you give to a piece of art, music or other creative expression may not be shared by those around you. At times, passion will cloud our awareness that others have no idea how we could think that piece of art is so damn amazing. Of course, in any community you will find people that resonate with your views and those that don’t.\nThe often unspoken internal reaction when you encounter someone’s object of affection could be, “WHAT THE F#CK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I have absolutely idea why you find that compelling!!!!”\nAt Curator Club we love to acknowledge “What the f#ck are you talking about?” moments. Positive connections and shared appreciations commonly arise in conversation, but communities can learn a great deal by addressing various perspectives and responses.\nAs a community there will be an entire spectrum of agreement and understanding. Curator Club wants to cross-pollinate, value similarities and differences, and believe that our individual creative endeavors will be enhanced by these engagements.\n- Creative impulses are to be valued.\n- Creative inspiration is a motivating factor that we should dissect and discuss.\n- Community should not simply be determined by what people find in common.\n- Taking time to share what interests and inspires you is beneficial for the community.\n- Recognizing, appreciating, and engaging difference is an expression of generosity.\n- It is a worthwhile pursuit to evolve and complexify our understanding of the people around us.\n- Engaging in conversation with other Creatives inspires each of us to value our own creative expression.\nFor the Curator\n- Bring something for the group to engage with. This should be work that someone else created.\n- The work you show should be something that you wouldn’t want to live without, eg. it is REALLY significant to you. The main distinction to note is that the value you place on it should go beyond simply liking or enjoying it.\n- You should attempt to articulate why it is meaningful to you (or at least prepare for a discussion to figure it out).\n- There is NOT homework for the group. You should attempt to curate in a manner that gives a full experience of the content that you want us to engage.\n- There IS homework for the curator. Be prepared to guide the group through the material you are presenting and then lead a conversation.\nCan I share my personal work when I curate?\nCurator Club is specifically NOT a critique of your own artwork. We value those conversations and we will set up specific times where we engage that process. In the context of the Club meetings, your work will often be a topic of conversation as it relates to the overall topic, but it should not be the primary point of engagement.\nWhat if I want to curate an experience?\nThen do it. If the experience requires a different timeframe or if there is cost involved, then we’ll chat about it as a group.\nWhat is the deal with Book Club?\nSome of the Curator Club members are in a book club, so you will always have the option to join in those meetings as well. Book Club meets every 1-2 months during the same time that Curator Club would normally meet.", "domain": "hobby"}

As someone who sleeps about three to four hours a night, I treasure every ounce of it.

I love it. I love the whimsy, adventure, and freedom. Anything can happen. Ah, how I love to dream.\nI’ve always dreamt, rather vividly, but obviously, our minds don’t keep every one of them. So this year, I decided to try something new. A journal. Recording my dreams every night the instant I awake. It started as a project for my kids. I want them to be able to have a book of all my crazy adventures to enjoy. I leave either it, or any paper, as well as a pen next to my pillow, and if I awaken in the middle of the night, no matter how disoriented I am, I write down as much as I have strength to do. Sometimes I’ll awake with a mere five words written on my hand, sometimes to a 2 page epic story on whatever I left next to my bed (lesson: never leave your income tax report next to your bed), and sometimes, well, it’ll be utterly preposterous. I love waking up to these stories.\nBut I’ve given my mind to the Lord, even as I sleep. I’ve given Him that time. And sometimes, it’s the most clear beautiful thing. It’s crazy how He can speak through them. But a few days ago I was just browsing through all my stories since January 1, and wow. Wow. Wow. They’re crazy. They’re magical. They’re adventurous. But you know what else? They all… tie in together. They all communicate the same message. Over and over and over again. And it’s so specific. I had just missed it. But looking back at them all together, it became so clear. Even in all those silly little adventures, He’s speaking. I love that.\nIt’s crazy how in that time, He’s prepared me for things. He’s given me things to speak. He’s given me boldness. And He’s molding me. While I sleep! He knows I’m a dreamer and I’ll take every chance at an adventure, and He uses that.

Sight picture, trigger control and how the firearm is held should be as close to identical from shot to shot if predictable shot placement is to occur. This is equally true when it comes to your ammunition. One of the reasons many shooters load their own ammo is to put together a load that works with the harmonics of their particular firearm, and then produce a quantity of identical cartridges.\nMuch of the handloading process focuses on the cartridge case. The reason for this is that the case is the only non-consumable component in a cartridge. With all attention given to the case, there are numerous sub-processes that may be forgotten or inconsistently performed.\nKeeping that in mind, here are 10 tips to make your handloads perform better. Most do focus on the cartridge case and may seem trivial. But after handloading nearly all of my own ammo for some 44 years, I have seen these caveats breached and observed the consequences.\n1. Check, measure, trim if necessary, and size virgin brass.\nSometime around 1980 a friend who owned a gun shop decided to put together some 7 mm Rem. Mag. ammunition for an elk hunt and used virgin brass from Remington. He merrily grabbed shiny new brass cases from the bag, primed them, charged them and then seated his elk-slaying bullets. A couple of weeks later he loaded the magazine of his rifle in the dark of opening morning, but when he tried to chamber a case, he could not close the bolt. He had forty rounds of useless ammo in his pack on the opening morning of elk season.\nI have found a few—very few—virgin cases that did not get their flash hole punched. It isn’t unusual to find as much as 10 percent of new brass longer than the maximum length allowed. If I find even one case too long, the whole batch goes to the trimmer so I know I am starting with in-spec cases. Even if I do not have to trim the new cases, I deburr the case mouths to ensure ease of bullet seating and consistent bullet pull. And, yes, every case makes a trip through my resizing die. It’s all about consistency.\n2. Tumble your cases every time you load them.\nTumbling cases removes the dirt and corrosion that just goes with the territory. Depending on the tumbling media and additives you use, tumbled cases come out not only clean but with a slickness that causes a lubricating effect. That makes them easier to chamber. My goal is to produce handloads that are indistinguishable from factory ammo in terms of functioning.\n3. If your necks crack after just a couple of loadings, try annealing them.\nBrass hardens and becomes brittle as it is worked. There’s are myriad reasons that can cause premature neck failure, but there is but one way to prevent it—annealing. Case necks can be annealed with a simple propane torch and pan with water, or you can invest $500 on a motorized tool that rotates cases in a fixture with multiple torch nozzles to ensure a thorough, even heating. I rarely do this except for the .45-90 Sharps cartridges because they need annealing to help sealing the breech against gas escape. However, I don’t have problems with premature neck failure in my other centerfire firearms. If you do, annealing is the only remedy I am aware of.\n4. When dropping charges within a grain or two of maximum, trickle and weigh each charge.\nThere are those who claim they can operate a volumetric powder measure with such reliability that each charges is with 0.2 grain of any other charge. I am not one of them. When I am loading hunting ammo, it is usually within a grain or two of maximum. Not only do I want to ensure each cartridge is charged identically, I do not want to risk overcharging a case and firing what amounts to be a proof load when I am hunting. One time, some three-plus decades ago, a companion touched off his .25-06 Rem. with a load that he had accidentally overcharged. When he tried to extract the empty case the bolt was seized shut. We eventually got it open back at the shop with some vigorous blows of a rawhide hammer. If, like me, you are a mere mortal, trickle and weigh each charge.\n5. When deburring case mouths, use a 22.5-degree or VLD deburring tool.\nMost deburring tools are made with a 45-degree lead. While that will deburr the internal diameter of a case mouth, a 22.5-degree tool cuts a deeper, more progressive angle that functions like a funnel when seating bullets. I get fewer collapsed necks using this tool. A caveat: Don’t try to make the case mouth a cutter. It removes too much brass and contributes to premature failure—and annealing won’t fix that.\n6. Dies need cleaning too.\nTake a look inside your reloading dies after you have finished loading 300 or 400 rounds. There will be a bunch of junk in them—a lot more if you are using cast lead bullets. The gunk will build up and eventually change the dimensions that your sizing dies does or scratch the cases—or the die—possibly ruining it. Most of my dies are made by RCBS, and they used to stamp the year of manufacture on their dies. I have dies date 1973 that are still in the condition they were when shipped from Oroville, Calif. Dies are an investment, so if you want to conserve your investment, keep ’em clean. I usually spray them with brake cleaner, run a patch through them and then put a light coat of Ballistol on them for rust prevention.\n7. Each time you trim your cases, check them for stretch.\nAnother story from decades past: A customer of the gun shop I worked in liked to shoot his reloads until the case separated. He said that he knows then that he got all the life the case had to offer. One day a case separated in his Garand. Problem was, the head exited the rifle but the remainder of the case was stuck fast in the chamber. It cost him $25 to have me extract the remainder of that case. The reason you occasionally need to trim your cases is because during firing brass flows forward from just ahead of the web at the head of the case. Relatively long sloping cases—like the .30-30 WCF and the .300 H&H Magnum—are more prone to this than others. Eventually, the case will separate at that point. Take a paper clip and straighten it out. With a needle-nose plier, bend a small 90-degree at one end, no more than about 3/32 of an inch. Use it as a feeler gauge in your trimmed cases. The first time you trim them you will probably feel just a little dip immediately forward of the bottom of the case. By the time you trim it a second or third time the dip will be more pronounced. That’s when the case goes into the scrap bucket.\n8. Visually check each case in the loading block to ensure it is properly charged before seating bullets.\nMost instructions for handloading state this, but it is surprising how few actually take the extra moment to verify that each case has the correct amount of propellant in it. One time one of my oldest friends brought his early post-war Smith & Wesson M&P revolver to me, telling me that the cylinder quit turning while he was at the range. I picked it up and looked at the barrel-cylinder gap and could not see any light. We made a bet that he had failed to charge that case with propellant. I drove the wadcutter back into the cylinder with a wood dowel, opened the cylinder and extracted the case—no propellant, and he had to buy me lunch. It takes just a moment to verify that each case is properly charged. In light loads, also check to make sure you did not double charge a case. Each case should be filled to the same level with propellant. And, by the way, that old friend has gone to his reward, and that near mint M&P is in my collection.\n9. Determine the maximum cartridge overall length (COAL).\nUsually this refers to rifles, but if you like super-heavy (read long) bullets in your revolver, the cylinder length will determine the maximum COAL. With rifles, the magazine may be your limiting factor, but here’s how to determine maximum COAL. Take a fired case and a new bullet that you are planning to use. With a plier, gently squeeze the case mouth so that it will lightly grip the bullet. Carefully start a bullet in the case and insert it into the chamber and gently close the bolt. Again, being gentle, slowly extract the case with the bullet but remove it before the ejector tosses it out of the rifle. Measure the COAL with a caliper. That should be the maximum—where the bullet is just touching the rifling. Target shooters often like to shoot with their bullets touching the lands, claiming they get a bit more accuracy that way. Hunters would be well advised to seat their bullets at least 0.005 to 0.010” further into the case to avoid sticking a bullet in the barrel when they have to clear their rifle at the end of a day.\n10. Run each new handload through your rifle before leaving for the hunt.\nEarlier we saw where a buddy failed to properly size his cases before the hunt and the consequences he endured. It takes just a couple of minutes to do this. Find a safe place where if a round were to let go, no one would be hurt. Load the magazine with your new handloads and cycle each one through the rifle. If your rifle has a three-position safety like the Model 70 Winchester or its derivatives, put it in the middle position so that the firing pin cannot fall but you can operate the bolt. The time to solve a potential feeding problem is before you leave on your hunt.\nNone of these tips are earth-shattering; many are standard operating procedures for the old hands and are stated in most of the handloading manuals. But people forget or get in a hurry. That’s when Murphy raises his ugly head.", "domain": "hobby"}

It is run by the well known beer journalist Darren Packman, founder of the Beer Sweden website. Darren regularly hosts beer tastings, which I’ve been to three of. At the end of the third tasting (which was a beer and cheese tasting – super delicious) I approached Darren and asked him if I could spend a few hours at his brewery learning about how things worked. He said that absolutely I could and we agreed to speak by email. A few weeks later I got my chance and went.\nThis will probably be a picture light post due to my only taking a few. I did tweet about it a bit, so you can read back to that if you like (Date was October 14th), but you’ll not learn anything new that you didn’t get from this blog post. I’d also like to note that I’ll be talking highly of Beer Studio and their products in this post. I’m in no way paid to do this, and gain nothing for doing so. This is purely my opinion.\nWhen I arrived at Beer Studio they were shifting one of their new beers from the primary fermenter to secondary and preparing to brew a new batch of their Long Play Pale Ale. After that was done I hosed down the primary tank to try and clean it up as much as possible as Leif (the brewer) cleaned the mash tun. After that was all done we started filling the mash tun which basically involved a hose pouring hot water into it.\nNext we measured all the grains and crushed them with a large automatic mill. Then we took the buckets of grain and dumped them into the mash. Each bucket (there was 2 or 3) weighed in around 110kg.\nAt some point during the process we turned off the water and then the mash spent several hours working. The tun had a giant steel two pronged fork that turned keeping the grains moving and ensuring that the heat was evenly spread out.\nWhile we waited for the mash to do its work we cleaned the bottling system because they had a batch of Spin Back in the carbonation tank that was ready to be bottled. Then we tried to bottle 8 bottles in advance without the machine (they needed a few done in advance) but just trying to use a hose resulted in them foaming badly and we ended up with 4 partial bottles of beer.\nI ended up being able to take three of those bottles with me (Darren poured the fourth for tasting purposes) at the end of the day, and that beer was absolutely fantastic. If you’re ever at a bar that serves it, I highly recommend.\nAfter a quick break for lunch (I ate a huge meal before arriving and was starving within 3 hours, working in a brewery is hard work) we cleaned the boil… pot? When you’re putting almost 2000L into it I don’t think it is called a pot anymore. We then started the sparging process and transferring the wort.\nThe sparge arme is home-made, four copper tubes with holes punched in that are all connected at a central point and attached to a long piece of metal that holds it in place above the mash tun. They said they originally made the arms too long and kept having to adjust the amount of water flowing in, but after shortening it to the current length it fills the tun at the perfect rate.\nOnce this process was started we hooked up the bottling machine and they showed me the bottling process, which was very fast and efficient. By this time evening had set in so I thanked them for having me in and called it a day.\nWorking in a brewery\nWorking in a brewery, as I mentioned earlier, is a lot of hard work. There is plenty of heavy lifting and moving things around, and a lot of waiting and cleaning in between. It isn’t a glamorous job but it is a lot of fun. I asked Leif what his favourite part of being a brewer was and he said crafting new recipes and tasting the results afterwards. Brewing isn’t all there is to a brewery by any means though. Darren spent a lot of time during the day working on logistics, selling beer and marketing their beer. I spent most of my day with Leif with Darren showing up sporadically to talk to us about stuff.\nHomebrewing vs Industrial Brewing\nA couple of differences I learned about brewing on a large scale vs homebrewing are:\n1) Scaling recipes – This is doable certainly, but not a matter of just scaling up amounts. In the grain bill you have to account for differences in efficiency between your homebrew setup and the brewery setup. Hops also have a different ratio, if you scaled up the number of hops directly from your homebrew your pleasantly bitter IPA would be come undrinkable due to excess bitterness.\n2) The volume. A brewery is LOUD. Not like you’re in a night club loud but more like there’s a million things making noise at once loud. You have pumps running, motors turning, liquids moving through pipes, etc. It was never a problem for conversing (unless we were in the mill room) but stepping outside when I left was definitely notable in the volume difference. Homebrewing by comparison has very little noise. The boil pot a bit while it is boiling but that is it.\nAll in all the whole day was a lot of fun and I am thankful for Leif and Darren for letting me join them. There’s a lot I haven’t mentioned in this post in part because it has already been a month and a half since I was there so I don’t recall all the details, and in part because the post would likely never end if I wrote everything. Beer Studio makes fantastic beer and is run by some really nice guys. If you ever have the chance, pick up one of their beers and support them.", "domain": "hobby"}

I’ve learned a lot along my blogging journey. Mostly, through continuing to write, reading a ton of posts from other writers, working with mentors, and applying what I am learning in my MBA program. However anytime in life when you dive in head first, there are bound to be a few lessons that you learn the hard way. These are my top four lessons learned the hard from blogging. Yes, a few of them did feel like getting a digital slap in the face.\n1) Don’t take it so damn personally when a post flops.\nI didn’t get into blogging thinking all of my posts were going to go viral. However, after I got the taste of some early success my expectations changed suddenly. When subsequent posts didn’t perform as well, I became upset and dwelled on it. I let flops ruin entire days. In summary, I got negative and over-analyzed. As a result, my productivity suffered.\nI get a lot of messages from other bloggers after they write what they deem to be a flop. The message usually contains negative comments and/or questions like this:\nDoes my content suddenly suck?\nThat’s it. I’m quitting blogging forever.\nLinkedIn has changed something. What is going on with this f***** platform?\nLong before I got into blogging, I was a high school tennis coach. After a tough loss, I used to tell my players that one of the beauties about tennis was that there was always another match coming up and a chance to get a win. The same goes for blogging. If you do write a flop, learn from it. Make sure to stay positive and keep on writing. There is always another blog to write. The next one could be the one that goes viral and gets 1 million views!\n“One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn’t pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.” Lucille Ball\n2) Proceed with caution when sharing your blog on Google+ Communities.\nIn order to get people to read your blog, you must share it on social media. Sharing on Google+ is different than all the other social platforms. Sharing in G+ communities is a great way to expand your readership. I’ve written about the many benefits of sharing your blog on Google+ in the past. However, make sure to read the community rules before sharing your post. Some communities are very particular about how you can share content. If you share your content improperly in the community, the managers can get quite nasty about it! What I didn’t mention in my previous blog on G+ is that, a few of them even kicked me out! Oops. I hadn’t been kicked out of somewhere since that one time in college when I….(oh wait this isn’t that type of blog).\nOne of the managers went as far as to send me a scathing email. I responded with: “Chill out man. I’m just a blogger trying to share his work.” He didn’t like that response very much, and proceeded to start posting negative comments on my company’s blog. Yowza!\n“Roller-skating and ice-skating are two different things – I found that out the hard way.” Todd Bridges\n3) Not everyone likes to share.\nWhile I first learned this lesson in kindergarten, it was something I had to re-learn when I started blogging. If you have read my past posts about blogging, you know that I am big into sharing other authors’ content. In fact, I started a LinkedIn group for bloggers whose mission is centered around sharing content. If you want your content to be shared, you must share others’ content. However, you will find that not everyone likes to share. In the past, I have wasted my time on continuing to share people’s posts that were not reciprocating with me. Share a few posts and then if the person does not reciprocate, find someone else to play with in the sandbox that likes to share their toys.\n“Sometimes you learn the hard way. In football, if I held on to the ball too long, I got my butt kicked.” Ron Jaworski\n4) Your personal Facebook network may not give a hoot about your blog.\nWhen I started, I naively thought that my personal Facebook network would be a huge asset to my blogging. My actual experience has been that you may get a few “sympathy” likes from your Facebook network here and there. However, if they are not passionate about what you write about, they will not continue to read. Instead, focus your efforts on platforms that contain a higher concentration of people that are interested in your specific topics. Don’t be offended when your Facebook network doesn’t engage on your post. They are probably too busy watching cat videos.\n“Some of us have to learn the hard way and make our own mistakes instead of learning from others.” Unknown\nAre you blogging? Care to share any of the lessons you’ve learned along your journey? Please do engage in conversation below surrounding blogging, sharing on social media, doing things the hard way, or anything that you would like to discuss that popped into your head after reading this post.

As I was cleaning up some tools, I looked up and noticed the moon and Venus hanging like jewels in the southwest sky.\nJust then Helene called out to me that a zucchini crusted pizza (zucchinis continue to find their way into many of our meals) just came out of the oven. I told her to come on out first – she did, and she too wanted to just stare at this grand show in the evening sky. So we plated our meal and sat out on the deck to enjoy the sky show while we ate a scrumptious dinner.\nThe moon is just a couple of days past the New Moon this evening, a lovely crescent of yellow-white hanging just a few degrees to the south of Venus. The moon is our night sky’s brightest member, and Venus is its second brightest. As we finished our dinner, we watched the moon get closer to, slowly slip behind, and eventually disappear behind the ridge. About 90 seconds after the moon was entirely gone, Venus disappeared as well.\nWe imagined what it would be like to try and watch this spectacle from the New York streets where we both grew up, and thanked our lucky stars that we live where we do. While the sky show unfolded, we noticed that the only sounds we could hear were a couple of hundred crickets. What magic!", "domain": "hobby"}

Make sure you have a good yoga mat, towel, and plenty of water. Make sure you are wearing clothes that you can move and sweat in easily. If you happen to forget something, we offer all of the above for sale. Most importantly, make sure you come to your mat with an open mind and are ready for a challenge!\nAvoid eating big meals for at least 2 hours before class.\nArrive 10-15 minutes before the class start time.\nCheck in at the front desk, even if you signed up online.\nInform the instructor of any pertinent injuries or limitations.\nRemove shoes in the lobby area.\nLeave your belongings in the cubbies provided in our changing rooms.\nTurn cell phones on silent and leave them outside the yoga room or in your car.\nBe familiar with Class Etiquette (see below).\nNew to practicing? Place your mat in the middle or back of the yoga room so that other students may be your guide.\nBe prepared to sweat and stay in the yoga room for the entire class.\nCome to class fully hydrated and drink lots of water after class to replenish lost fluids from your yoga practice. Did we mention HYDRATE? In a heated yoga class, you can sweat up to a liter and a half of water (that’s a couple of pounds of water weight), and it needs replacement. So drink lots of water BEFORE you come to class.\nIf you find yourself guzzling water during class or experiencing headaches or dizziness after class, you may be dehydrated. Try drinking more water before you come to class.\nAdd a natural electrolyte enhancer to your water.\nCoconut Water has all five key electrolytes: potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, and calcium. Great to drink before or after class. Coconut water is available for purchase at the studio.\nArrive early to every class. All classes start on time!\nPlease refrain from wearing perfume or scented lotions or oils. Your fellow practitioners may be sensitive to these smells.\nObserve silence in the hot room for Yoga classes, before, during, and after class. The Yoga room is a quiet meditative space. How you enter and leave the yoga room is part of your practice. The lobby is a great place to connect and catch up with others.\nMake room for others. Everyone should feel welcome.\nUnlike yoga, we encourage you to cheer your training partners on in our Pilates and Sculpt classes.\nUnderstand that becoming lightheaded or nauseous is completely normal the first few times you practice yoga in the heat.\nKnow that yoga is a practice; it takes time to cultivate!\nOur instructors are always available after class for any questions you may have.\nPracticing in the Heat\nBe prepared to sweat! The heat combined with our workouts is what makes Drip Hot Yoga and Fitness so special. The room is heated to warm muscles, which allows you to work deeper in a shorter amount of time, seeing results faster. Heat takes the trauma out of stretching, heals, and helps prevent injuries. Yoga is not just about working muscles: you are massaging deep tissues, glands, and organs as well. As you work deep within your body, you may start to release “poisons” or “toxins” that have been stored there for a long time. Your skin is the largest elimination organ in your body. Sweating helps flush toxins from your body, giving you a wonderful glow from head to toe.\nLearn to love your sweat rather than constantly wiping. Wiping causes you to sweat more. Your sweat is your body working to keep you cool. Embrace it.\nIt is not unusual to feel nauseous or dizzy during your first class. Usually, the problem is that we do not drink enough water for daily living, let alone for exercising in a heated room. Nutritionists tell us that we need 64-80 ounces of water a day to help the body function properly. If you feel disoriented or like you need a good nap after your first few classes, this is likely because your body has begun to cleanse itself as a result of the yoga practice. Don’t be scared. After the first few classes, this sensation will pass. The more you can relax as you give your full effort during class, the more energized you will feel throughout the class and throughout the rest of your day.\nTake it to the Finish\nStay in the room for the duration of the entire class. Take savasana if you need to rest, and please try not to leave the room except in cases of illness or other real emergencies. The intention is to keep everyone focused and in the present and to allow your body to acclimate to practicing in a heated room.\nEmbarking on a new yoga and fitness practice is so exciting. Be safe, be happy, and enjoy! Contact us with any questions.", "domain": "hobby"}

I start with a wooden form.

Every blade of grass, each flower blossom and spiral is cut with scissors to create my original designs.\nEvery piece is finished with many coats of a glossy resin. The resin reacts with the paper and my special glue to offer a rich, velvety textured color for the eye, and a hard functional glass-like feel for the hand.\nThe viewer often questions the materials. “Is it glass? Is it metal?” Most assume it must be painted. I love to explain to my audience that I am a horrible painter, but a great “cutter-out-er.” I love how relatively quickly I can achieve color and line by cutting paper.\nI am easily inspired by ancient Byzantine and Persian patterns. I love looking at French fabric and iron trellis work. I constantly look at things wondering how to mimic the color with paper layers. I get a real kick out of the notion of taking a truly humble material, paper, and elevating it through my process to become spectacular furnishings.\nMy work is intended to be used happily and with confidence.

You can spend quality time with your mother, shower your mother with gifts, call her to check in, and thank her for being your mom. But a universal gift is a well-written and thoughtful card (You’ve seen all those kindergarten drawings she’s kept!).\nYour Mother’s Day card should capture all your appreciation for your mother, wife, girlfriend, or grandma. (And if you do it right, you might even get Favorite Child status!) Here are some great ideas for writing and designing your card and some Mother’s Day gift suggestions. We even threw in some fun quotes about mothers you can share with your mom—or share with your social media world.\nMother’s Day Card Ideas\nPurchasing Pre-Made Cards\nPre-made cards are perfect for saying, “I love and appreciate you.” These cards come with various messages ranging from heart-warming to downright corny. But don’t stop there—include your own personal note, too. Keep it short and sweet. Or look for a store-bought that’s blank on the inside. You’ll get a beautifully designed card and your own beautifully written message: the best of both worlds!\nWant a handcrafted card? Something extra funny? A unique card to one-up your sibling? You’ll find many options available on Etsy, with a huge array of one-of-a-kind cards your mom would love.\nCreating DIY Cards and Crafts\nFew things are more meaningful than something made with your own hands—and few people will appreciate them more than Mom! Don’t be afraid to break out construction paper and make some handmade cards yourself. Choose the design, material, and thickness of the card stock, then decide on the shape (Psst, heart- and flower-shaped cards look great and are easy peasy!) DIY cards are also great for kids because they can channel their creativity into a hands-on activity and learn to use glue, card stock, pictures, and a little love to make a card for Mom.\nIf coming up with an original crafty idea isn't really your thing, there are plenty of templates online where you can download a card you like and customize it into something your mom would appreciate.\nHow To Decorate Cards\nLess is more. Don’t give in to the temptation of filling your mom’s card with glitter (unless you’re volunteering to vacuum along behind her). A hand-drawn picture or printed image is plenty of decoration.\nYou know how your mom always asks when you’re coming to visit? Yeah, Mother’s Day is a pretty good reason to deliver your card in person. Take the chance to sit down, catch up, and reminisce. And if you live far away, plan ahead to send your Mother’s Day card through the mail. For a timely delivery, send it around May 1st, a week before Mother’s Day this year. And call your mom on Mother’s Day. Whether you’ve sent a card or not.\nCelebrate Mother’s Day with Spoonful of Comfort\nSpoonful of Comfort began in 2007 when our founder, Marti, received a call from her mother that she had been diagnosed with lung cancer. Marti felt helpless, being so far away from her mom, but she knew she needed to do something.\nThe usual options of flowers or fruit just didn’t seem appropriate. Chicken soup immediately came to mind. Unfortunately, her mother passed away before she got to taste Marti’s soup, but in her honor, we are inspired daily to send soup to help you show your loved ones that you care.\nShow your mother, grandmother, or best friend how much their love and example mean to you, even when you can’t be with them in person. In addition to our care packages for loved ones facing illness or difficult times, we also have packages designed for fun and celebrations.\nWe are excited to share our limited edition Mother’s Day packages with you. You can send Mom tons of customizable gifts on her special day. These treats include a gift of gourmet soup, delicious rolls and cookies, a new ladle, and a floral lollipop with a plant-able stick to grow a pot of flowers. Let her kick back and enjoy a delicious Mother’s Day meal without lifting a finger.\nWhat to Write in a Mother’s Day Card\nWriting the perfect happy Mother’s Day messages for friends and family who are moms can be a challenge. Do you want to make them laugh, get personal and sentimental, or simply express appreciation?\nOf course, you also need to consider who the card is for. For example, you may wish to express your sentiments in a slightly different way with your own mother compared to your mother-in-law. Or perhaps the card is for a grandmother or close friend.\nWhatever strategy you choose, or whoever your card is meant for, Spoonful of Comfort is here to help you decide what to write in a Mother’s Day card. We’ve spent years perfecting the art of meaningful gift-giving, and we’re ready to pass our wisdom down to you.\nWhat you write in your Mother’s Day card reflects what your mother means to you, so make your words count. Here are some ideas of what to write in your card for the beginning, middle, and end.\nBeginning Your Card\nStarting your card may seem like the hardest part of writing it. Don’t overcomplicate it. You don’t have to grab your mom’s attention with the opening line; just getting a card should be enough to hold her attention. The opening should be something that is meaningful, comes from the heart, and sounds like you. Here are a few different tones you can use to start your card, with some examples of what that may sound like.\nFor moms who believe laughter is the best medicine.\n- Happy Mother’s Day from your favorite child (it’s ok, I know).\n- Mom, you’re one of my favorite parents.\n- I’m forever grateful that you didn’t take too many embarrassing pictures of me as a child.\n- Thanks for sticking with me through those teenage years.\nCompliments & Praise\nCongratulate her for all the hard work she put into your life.\n- I wouldn’t have chosen any other mother.\n- You’re still my best friend.\n- I still think about your cookies every day.\n- You made our house a haven from all the hard parts of life. Thank you.\nMothers have a lot of wisdom. Maybe it’s time to recognize the lessons they taught you along the way.\n- So you were right. Like, every time.\n- You taught me it’s ok to ask for help.\n- It all started with “don’t touch the stovetop.”\n- Mom, it all makes sense now.\nSometimes saying “thank you” is the best way to show someone you love them.\n- Everything good about me, I learned from you.\n- I can only hope to be as good of a mother as you one day.\n- Thank you for raising me to be a functional human being.\n- I’m so lucky that I get to call you “Mom.”\nWhat to Say In the Middle\nHere’s where you can get a little more personal. This is a chance to really explain why you love and appreciate your mother.\nOne way to show your love is by sharing a story about something she said. Share the fondest memory of your mother and what made that moment so special. You could also share an experience from your own parenting.\nExpanding on what you said at the beginning is a great way to write out something heartfelt. For example, suppose you went with “everything good about me, I learned from you” as your first line. You could then go on to list all the different qualities you gained from her, which could look something like this:\n“Everything good about me, I learned from you. I can laugh when life gets hard because you always laughed when the casserole burned in the oven. I know how to comfort others because you were there to listen to all of my problems. You taught me how to cook, fix a tire, and even showed me the secrets of lime Coke.”\nHow to Finish\nThrow out any “cheers” or “warmly” before signing your name. This isn’t a business email; you’re writing to someone you genuinely care about! Instead, you could sign off with one more declaration of love and appreciation:\n- Thanks again for all you’ve done for me.\n- You’re the best mom in the world.\n- I’ll always appreciate what you’ve done for me.\n- Hopefully, my kids will be as lucky as I was.\nFinishing your card can also be as simple as writing “I love you!” Just make the ending a nice cherry to top off an already well-written letter. It’s a pretty good way to ensure your mom will happy-cry.\nMother’s Day Card Sayings & Messages\nIf you’re looking for a special quote to use as a simple Mother’s Day greeting, here’s a list of some of our favorites:\n- “There’s no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one.” —Jill Churchill\n- “Motherhood: All love begins and ends there.” – Robert Browning\n- “It may be possible to gild pure gold, but who can make his mother more beautiful?” – Mahatma Gandhi\n- “Mothers are like glue.

The annual total of 40,000 Shiro-Utsuri accounts for 90 % of their total cultivation. All koi are grown out in 40 ponds located in seven indoor houses.\n[President Omosako's objectives during Shiro-Utsuri cultivation]\nAccording to President Omosako, the ultimate goal of their cultivation process is growing Shiro-Utsuri which have superior qualities when compared to other Gosanke varieties. The primary objective is to beat other Gosanke varieties at the major koi shows. They work diligently to improve the darkness of the Sumi markings and luster of the pure white background so as to highlight the Sumi. President Omosako says, \"Our Shiro-Utsuri's quality must be approved by all of the judges in a koi contest. There are no other factors other than beautiful white skin and bold black Sumi on Shiro-Utsuri, so it is very difficult to deceive the judges' eye. It is never an easy task to grow Shiro-Utsuri but that's why this variety attracts our farmers.\"\nThe quality, physical beauty and breeding quantity of the Omosako Shiro-Utsuri, originates from the \"Tatsuma Utsuri\" lineage. The jumbo Shiro-Utsuri, \"Musashi\", 92 cm in length, \"Panda\", 90 cm, and \"Godzilla\",92 cm, were born one after another. In 2010, a descendant, \"Zebra\",bettered the long cherished record by reaching 57 cm at the age of two and 70 cm at when it turned three. With this ongoing evolution the Omosako Shiro-Utsuri has entered another new stage.\n[President Omosako's most impressive Shiro-Utsuri]\nNicknames \"Musashi\" President Omosako considers this offspring the ideal Shiro-Utsuri in quality and size.\nThe fish won the 85 Bu Kokugyo Prize in the 36th All Japan Koi Show. Today it has reached 92 cm in length,and has been spawning as a koi parent since its impressive victory.\n[The Omosako Showa for which Mr. Takayoshi Omosako focuses his efforts]\nAfter a five year training period at the Dainichi Koi Farm in Niigata, Mr. Takayoshi Omosako is now working diligently to produce a new Showa variety that possesses both the grand physique of the famous Dainichi Showa and the lustrous Sumi markings of the Omosako Shiro-Utsuri. During our visit we were unable to take our eyes off their beautiful Showa.\nⅡPhantasmagoric Sumi markings of Shiro-Utsuri\nHere is an excellent example of the dynamic changes the Sumi undergoes as the 65 Bu Shiro-Utsuri that won the mature championship in the 38th All Japan Koi Show in 2007 ages.\nOmosako says, \"This is unique example of the changes of the Sumi. Not all the Shiro-Utsuri's Sumi develops like this, but there is usually a high possibility of desirable Sumi with age. The attractiveness of Tategoi usually is true to their potential.\" Through his words, we could feel this farmer's strong intention and realize the true charm of the Omosako Shiro-Utsuri.\nQ.How can amateur koi lovers truly enjoy keeping Shiro-Utsuri?\nIn order to enjoy the phantasmagorical Sumi markings, amateur koi lovers should understand the types of Sumi markings and that Sumi will change according to breeding environment as well as the lineage. If possible, keep several Shiro-Utsuri with differing types of Sumi markings,such as already fixed Sumi markings, late bloomer, and those similar to the Showa variety, and examine which type of Sumi markings are most adaptable to your breeding environment. It is often said that the Sumi is influenced by the hardness of water. The harder it is, the more the Sumi tends to appear. The Japanese water is always soft. It would be very interesting to keep Shiro-Utsuri in some foreign countries where the water is harder.\nⅢHow to grow koi large, and the importance of diet\nQ.What is the most important factor to grow larger koi?\nI pay careful attention to our koi to be sure they are growing at a healthy rate\nwhile maintaining a desirable body shape. As you know, the dark and lustrous Sumi and the beautiful white background are the primary\nrequirements for the ideal Shiro-Utsuri, but the value rapidly drops when it loses its shape.\nTo maintain the koi's value, three things are equally important, the lineage of the koi, its breeding environment and the diet it's offered. We carefully select fine food that makes our koi grow large while maintaining the desired shape.\nDo you have any particular preference for koi food?\nWe feed our koi exclusively the Hikar® koi diets. We use a sinking type food in our mud ponds and a floating type in our cement ponds. Of course, we use the Saki-Hikari® series too and now we feed our koi Saki-Hikari® \"Pure White™\" for the purpose of intensifying their white skin as the koi shows approach. We feel we had very good results at the 42nd All Japan Koi Show; Best in Utsurimono Prize, 70 Bu Sakura Prize and 15 Bu, 35 Bu, 40 Bu, Kokugyo Prizes. We are also thinking about using Kyorin's growth food. We feel it will certainly meet your expectations.", "domain": "hobby"}

Naturally not every wood is “delicious” enough to be used for this ancient cooking method. Fruitwood like apple and pear will infuse a sweet mellow flavour and great to be used for smoking delicate meats such as chicken, turkey and white meat fish.\nA lot of gourmet barbecue restaurants in Sydney have turned to using hardwood such as oak and ironbark as their smoking wood base, as it is low in resin and high in flavour and can later be blended with assorted fruitwoods for a more distinct palette of flavours. Oak is a very versatile hardwood, it burns very hotly, is great for blending and lends a strong to medium flavour to the meat which is seldom overpowering. Oak works well with any type of meat but especially red meats and game will benefit from its smoky perfume. People who are new to smoking and have recently purchased a smoker to be used in their own backyard to create succulent ribs and nicely crusted briskets have been seen to make their first smoking meats experience with ample oak chunks.\nOur firewood bags come in three cuts: plugs, chunks and logs. Whereas plugs and chunks are often bought by backyard barbecue chefs, logs are used in restaurants to fire large professional grills and smokers for sublime results. The plugs and chunks can be tossed directly on the coals for a light smoke flavour or soaked in water for about an hour to generate more smoke by smouldering rather than burning. If you own a kettle grill and want to enhance the flavour of meat by adding a little smoke to its crust, try out our succulent roasted leg of lamb recipe that will feed 6-8 meat lovers.\nSmoked Leg Of Lamb\nIngredients: Half leg of lamb, ca. 1.5kg, deboned, 1Tbsp. coarse sea salt, 1Tbsp. ground coriander, 1 Tbsp. ground cumin, 1Tbsp. chilli powder, 1Tbsp. freshly cracked black pepper, 6 cloves of garlic peeled and minced\nMethod: Mix the ingredients for the rub, apply to the meat and leave in the fridge overnight. Next day, fire your barbecue with coals on one side, remove the meat from the fridge and let it come up to room temperature. As the coals turn grey, fill a tray with 5cm of water and place it beside the coals. Lay leg of lamb above the coals on the grill and cook for 15 minutes. Put a handful of ample oak chunks on the charcoal, move the meat on the grill above the tray and close it with a lid but vent open to smoke for about 45 minutes. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing it and serve with some Greek yoghurt and chopped mint leaves, roasted potatoes and your favourite vegetables.", "domain": "hobby"}

I am Oksana Lazda - the face behind OX YOGA.\nI am passionate about different forms of movement in life - on a tangible and on a more energetic level.\nI believe that the way we feel in our bodies reflects in the way we show up in life. When we feel good, tension free and when our mind is calm, we naturally create an environment around us where we can be the best versions of ourselves.\nThrough yoga and massage therapy I help people to release layers of accumulated tension and create a state of expansion, calm and ease in their bodies and hearts.\nMy yoga journey began in 2014 while I was living in one of the busiest cities in the world - Mumbai - working a corporate job and craving to find a peaceful place to just be by myself. I instantly fell in love with yoga and ended up traveling and living in Buddhist Monasteries in Himalayas and Thailand, embarking into Vipassana 10 days silence meditation experience, spending time in Osho Meditation Resort in Pune and after 3 years returning again back to India to deepen my knowledge as a yoga teacher in the end of 2017. Since 2018, I have been working as a full-time yoga teacher and massage therapist in New Zealand and Barcelona, Spain.\nMy teaching style, same as my practice, is forever evolving and expanding. Rooted in a meditative aspect of Ashtanga Yoga and combined with tools from various movement and somatic disciplines, I create a lighthearted and organic flow that leaves a space and a time for self-enquiry and exploration.\nComing from a background of competitive swimming and being immersed in sports throughout my life, I was never interested in the physical aspect of yoga. Instead I was looking for a tool that could help me to find contentment in a moment. Having a love for movement, I was naturally drawn to the vigorous style of Ashtanga Yoga.\nAt the start of my yoga journey, I experienced profound emotional releases - breaking into tears in the middle of the practice and recalling flashbacks of past traumatic events. It was nothing I had ever experienced before and it was then, when I discovered through my own experience the healing power of yoga.\nDealing with anxiety for the vast majority of my life and feeling trapped in a constant state of anger, led me to dive deeper into the studies of somatics and trauma. Understanding how our bodies store emotional dis-ease in a form of tension has helped me reconnect to my heart, embody self-love and acceptance, and move through spirals of life with a little bit more grace and ease.\nYoga has been a major tool that has helped me to navigate through anxiety and all sorts of emotions. Therefore, my aim as a teacher is to meet each practitioner where they are at in their own practice and hold a space to feel through a spectrum of emotions that yoga exposes us to in a compassionate and loving way.\nThrough continuous fluid movement I invite students to cultivate a simple awareness of everything that happens and shift from the thinking minds into the feeling bodies.\nAfter completing 500hrs Hatha Yoga and 200hrs Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Trainings in India I continue being a student and seek new knowledge from different teachers and forms of movement: Functional Range Conditioning (FRC), Movement Culture, Somatic Movement and dance well as dive deeper into exploring breathwork and Trauma Informed Yoga.\nMassage and Bodywork\nWanting to deepen my knowledge in bodywork and be able to help people to feel lighter in their bodies, I completed a Massage Therapy Course in Queenstown, New Zealand in 2016. Soon after I started to work in Luxury SPAs and hotels in New Zealand, and Spain offering a wide range of massages, body treatments and facials.\nSince then, I have done \"dive deeper\" courses in Deep Tissue massage, Myofacia and Thai Massage.\nCurrently I am studying Shiatsu in Escola de Shiatsu y Moviment with David Ventura in Barcelona.\nI am offering integral massage therapy sessions in the heat of Barcelona and in Amara Valley Nature Retreat (retreat centre near Banyoles, Girona)\nEvery massage is tailored for personal needs and preferences. In my sessions I combine Deep Tissue, Relaxing, Shiatsu massage techniques with gentle stretches and joint mobilizations. I often use meditation, tibetian singing bowls and aromatherapy oils for a deeper relaxation.\nWelcome everything, push away nothing\nOpenness - a willingness to look into whatever arises. It doesn't reject or get attached to a particular experience or view. It is a spacious, undefined, non-biases allowing. A total acceptance. Openness is the nature of awareness itself, and that nature allows experience to unfold.\nThis openness welcomes paradox and contradiction. It permits whatever energies to emerge. Openness means keeping our hearts and minds available to new information, experiences and opportunities for growth. It means having tolerance for unknown.\n/from \"The Five Invitations\" by Frank Ostaseski/", "domain": "hobby"}

Fish that size are what bring sportsmen to Lake Lure, but fishing Lake Lure is anything but easy. It does take some skill and fishing knowledge to find the big fish and once you find them, youíve got to catch them.\nIt's a Cool Lake, but what does that mean for Fishing?\nLure is considered a cool\nwater lake, with average surface temperatures being in the low 70s and average\ntemps at the thermocline being in the low 60ís.\nThis is about what you would expect in a lake like Lake Lure\n(pardon the alliteration). Lake Lure\nis classified by North Carolina\nas Class B, Trout waters. This\nclassification simply means that the water quality parameters at the time it\nwas sampled were such that the lake could support trout.\nThis is one of the reasons that Lake Operations decided to discontinue stocking of lake trout because it was not a sustainable practice with no real return on investment.\nLake eutrophication is a natural process that lakes go through as they age. As this process occurs, the fishery tends to improve because there is more for fish and their prey to eat. Of course there are also some drawbacks.\nNutrient loading is a problem that occurs as lakes age creating scenarios for harmful algae blooms which can cause fish kills and other negative impacts. This is one of the reasons why we pay close attention to our water quality numbers so that we can be proactive in addressing any problems that might impact the overall health of the lake.\nSo back to the question at hand, Howís the Fishing?\nIt is getting better. One of the biggest things that has helped has been changing our approach and dedicating resources to making Lake Lure a bass fishing lake. Bass are cool water fish, so they do extremely well in lakes such as ours.\nWe have also increased the amount of food the predator fish can eat by stocking threadfin shad. Lake Lure has very little in the way of aquatic vegetation and structural habitat, which is a necessary component in order to have a sustainable fishery.\nStructure is especially important because it provides not only protection, but a hard substrate for aquatic plants and animals to attach themselves to.\nThis is why rip rap and fallen trees are so vital to the lake and why they should be put in place. The fishing benefit is huge and it helps to balance the ecosystem. Lake Operations has also gone a step farther by building fish habitat and sinking Christmas trees to help add some structure in places where fish like to be.\nWhat Species of Fish are in our Lake?\nIf you are a fisherman and you are interested in knowing what we have in our lake, we actually have quite a diverse selection. We have large and small mouth bass, white bass, catfish, yellow perch, sunfish, and crappie; there are a few lake trout still left in the lake and we also get a few in the head water reaches of the lake near Pool Creek and the Broad River where rainbow trout will occasionally be found. There are also a few chain pickerel found in the lake which were probably stocked in here many years ago. There are no muskellunge here unless someone put them in without our knowledge, and if they did they probably wonít survive long enough to breed due to the water temperature and lack of good muskie habitat.\nAs far as fish stocking, the only fish the town stocks the lake with are large mouth bass, small mouth bass, white bass, and threadfin shad. Anything else thatís in the lake was either stocked long ago or naturally occurred in the Broad River before it was impounded.\nOur Lake Operations Department is continuously monitoring the health of the lake and looking at ways to improve the fishery in Lake Lure. No one wants to come to a lake that is not healthy and the best way to measure the health of a lake is to look at the lake ecosystem and see how itís thriving.\nIf you have questions about fishing in Lake Lure or would like to know more, please contact Clint Calhoun, Environmental Management Officer at (828)625-9983 x 502 E-mail:email@example.com or Dean Givens, Lake Operations Director at (828)625-9983 x 501 E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.org", "domain": "hobby"}

We played a game similar to this at a training once and it had everyone cracking up. I simplified it a little to make it kid friendly and now I'm sharing it with you.\nSimple instructions: Each student gets the name of a popular Halloween costume taped to their back. They must then figure out who they are by asking classmates only \"yes\" or \"no\" questions. They can only ask each student one question before they have to move on and ask someone else. The first student to guess the name on their back gets a little prize. (I have math versions of this game in my TpT store, great practice!) It's easy and can be played over and over. (For younger students, I walk around and help them read the names by whispering it in their ear so they are able to answer questions.) It was fun for adults and I know your students will love it.\nOn a blogging side note, it took me awhile to find a good website for converting PDF files to JPG or PNG image files. In that search I found this great website called Zamzar.com. It basically converts any type of file into any other type of file you want. Awesome! And better yet, it e-mails the file to you so you have it to go back to. This is how I post the cover to an item on my blog, then I just add a link to my store where you can download it.

As of writing this, I am only one month removed from my date of separation from Air Force active duty. The transition has been more difficult than I expected. For this reason, I knew I needed to meet and connect with other creatives, and to dive deeply each day into exploring what was possible for my storytelling. You can learn a lot on your own, but creativity is inherently collaborative. All the work we create now is in dialogue with artists and writers who have come before and work alongside us. I needed to be amongst fellow writers and illustrators and grow my community.\nWhen I got to the campus, I found my way to my delightful little cabin. The interior was decorated with memorabilia from Jane Yolen who has written over 400 books for children! I was thrilled to be surrounded by her poetry, advice, and books. When I walked around campus, I discovered plenty of spots to tuck away and work. I discovered The Word Garden, with tons of rocks inscribed with various words or symbols. Perfect for assembling poetry or sentences! I also spent hours in The Art Coop – a chicken coop turned art studio! I walked the halls of the Lodge and Barn, which had original works of art hanging on the walls from prominent illustrators. I will admit…seeing work signed by Eric Carle made me feel daunted! It reminded me of walking the halls of the Air Force Academy or Pentagon, where massive paintings tell the history of those who have come before and shaped the institution. I had to remind myself that the work of those whose books lined the shelves of the library and whose art hung on the wall had all started exactly where I was now: square one, one book released, very first retreat ever.\nOur daily classes flew by, and we got to explore “STEAM by the Stream” where I sketched on a rock right above the water flowing by. We stargazed at night and learned about the Perseid meteor shower. Stars shot overhead, the space station meandered across the sky, and satellites flew by – all against the backdrop of the Milky Way. I learned so much in just a few days… how to stop and really see what inspiration is within reach. How to draw forth that inspiration and write for different age groups, in different styles, and for different segments of the book industry. I was given so many tools for storytelling, I know it will take months to feel them all sink into my writing practice. I want that knowledge to settle deep within my bones.\nSo much of the creative process is mastering your own internal flow for bringing ideas forth. Often (especially early in the process) ideas may get shot down by other people as “strange, not going to work, good luck with that etc.” This is often why I am very careful not to spread my new story ideas too widely in the beginning, because they are tender at that stage. The book dummies I brought to the retreat explore mycology, marine biology, and somnology. After receiving excellent feedback from instructors, I see that each story has a long way to go! Barely brought forth from the universe, I must trust in the value of my ideas until they stand on their own. Entering into community with my fellow writers and illustrators strengthened the ideas I have for my next three books and gave me the insight necessary to bring them forth. My world has expanded significantly with more ways to improve my storytelling.\nThe first piece of advice I ever give anyone who wants to pursue a creative path is this: dial into the community that shares your interests. Do not try to do this alone. Even knowing this, I hadn’t realized how badly I needed to grow my creative community until I sat amongst my classmates and reveled in their ideas and talents. Something clicked into place for me on this trip regarding identity. When I looked at my classmates, all of them had amazing careers in STEM, education and many even had PhDs. All of them were actively pursuing their creativity by weaving together all the different aspects of their identities and interests. A passion for the weather led one of my classmates, a Meteorologist, to write a book educating children about storms!\nI wondered “what if… the dichotomy I always perceived from within the military… wasn’t the whole picture?” You know what I mean, that whole concept of “creative versus not creative.” I always believed we are all creative, but that some people have more trouble than others accessing it in a rigid system of hierarchy. But…if we are all inherently creative… what if we find ways to express that creativity through the interweaving of all our identities, rather than the singular selection of an identity?\nI think the strongest potential for our self-expression lies within the intersection of all our identities and unique interests.\nNo one else has that unique combination of passions and lived experience that you do. This is why no one can tell the stories or make the art or music you uniquely can. It’s not that you “are or are not” creative, it is that you have (or have not yet) woven together your experiences and interests in such a way as to pull inspiration from them.\nThe Highlights Foundation Campus is a place where everything feels possible. It has this insane energy… like a cross between Disney Land and the Vatican… an energy of spiritual possibility. Reverence. The ideas you have are automatically honored and accepted by your fellow creatives, no doubt whatsoever. It is a place where you can receive honest critique on how to improve your work, with no threat of someone diminishing or shooting down your ideas. This is a rare thing, and it’s not something you often find when bringing your ideas to life. Attending the retreat was life changing. When you feel present in your full potential and meet others equally within theirs, anything can happen. Stories. Movies. Dreams. Book magic is strange, but it is very real. We cannot begin to imagine what is possible for us until we take our daring first step – a concrete act of belief in what has not yet been made real. Whatever steps you decide to take in the direction of your dreams, know that all of us walk alongside you in full belief in what you are making possible!", "domain": "hobby"}

Originally executed as a Buck Rogers cover for Famous Funnies (and rejected due to its extreme violence), Frazetta's composition leads your eye immediately into the area of maximum impact, with the dark cliff wall framing the man's figure and his cudgel exploding into negative space with the battered Neanderthal. Fritz misses nothing--even the angle of the club, the flying debris and the birds serve to complete the savage arc frozen in time. The forms, the body language, the design and colors all work together to create a sense of menace, intensity and brutality. Although this cover would probably be better served as a full size picture, the masthead and border image help give notice that what you see inside will indeed be unique. Interestingly, this was the only piece of artwork ever returned to any artist during the EC years. Frazetta was so happy with the finished piece that he made publisher Bill Gaines an offer: contrary to regular practice wherein Bill kept all the artwork, Frank agreed to take less money simply for the reproduction rights if he could keep the art. Gaines accepted and returned the cover to Frazetta after publication for a savings of about $50. Many years later, Frazetta said he had then been offered $50,000 for the legendary pen-and-ink piece, but turned it down.", "domain": "hobby"}

That’s a very powerful combination for an ecommerce site and also a very well-supported one. Crucially for the business owner, both WordPress and the WooCommerce plugin are very easy to maintain. Once the shop is built, you won’t need to be an expert web developer to keep your stock up to date and handle orders.\nWe built this site from the ground up with one key objective – we want to make it as easy as possible for visitors to the site to find what they want to and then to buy it. With several hundred different products in stock, that first point – making it easy to find what you’re looking for – is vital.\nWe decided early on that since this was first and foremost a shop, the home page of the website should simply be the shop page rather than an introduction to the business. We have a simple one line explanation at the top of the page (“Welcome to the UK’s best selection of second hand and out-of-print role-playing games. Wish you’d bought that boxed set, adventure or supplement that you saw in a tiny games shop in 1985 and never found again? Well, now you can.”) and a link at the bottom of the page to “About The Shop on the Borderlands”. Apart from that, what most visitors will see when they first arrive is different categories of product, arranged both as a simple list on the left of the page and as a grid of images in the centre.\nThe entire site – but especially this page – has been designed to be responsive, and works just as well at different resolutions and screen shapes, for example on smartphones.\nBecause of the shape of smartphones and their touchscreens, people are more likely to scroll down a long page than they would be on a laptop. So on a smartphone, the Shop on the Borderlands site is tall and thin and scrollable, and this is achieved without having to have a separate mobile site. (Separate mobile sites cost more to maintain, don’t perform as well in search engine rankings and make it awkward to share links with users who aren’t using mobile devices.)\nThe shop’s customers will mostly be enthusiasts who know what these categories mean, so we make it very easy for someone who plays ‘Call of Cthulhu’ to click through to a list of all the Call of Cthulhu products on sale.\nClicking on any of the products takes you to the detailed entry for that product complete with one or more images and more details about the item and its condition.\nWooCommerce makes stock control easy. Items that are sold out can be set to show as ‘out of stock’ or hidden until new stock arrives, according to the wishes of the business owner.\nBecause the site was developed using WordPress – a content management system famous for its ease of use – editing individual pages is very easy for the business owner. If you can edit a Word document, you can edit a WordPress webpage. With this site, the business owner was able to do much of the site development himself – entering product details, uploading product images, writing the text on the FAQ page etc. If you hire a web developer to build you a website and you’re looking to keep costs down, this can be very effective. (Of course if you’re just starting up a new business, you might be short on both cash and time…)\nA couple of other things you’ll have to think about if you’re starting a new ecommerce business, or if you’re taking your existing business online for the first time: shipping and payment.\nFirst of all, what will you charge for shipping? Will you charge different rates for different products (heavier ones for example)? Will you ship overseas? If so, which countries? And what will your rates be to those? if you’ve never sold online before and if you’ve never exported before, those are difficult questions to answer. You will need to research this properly. You should also talk to your web developer – the more complicated the shipping costs setup, the more work there is for the developer in setting this up. Also, even using something like WooCommerce, you may have to purchase extra plugins to handle the particular distinctions in shipping costs that you want.\nThe Shop on the Borderlands ships worldwide. They offer free shipping to UK orders of £20 or more, with a flat rate of £2.50 below that amount. European shipping is charged at a flat rate of £12. Shipping to the rest of the world costs £15 plus £5 per item (reflecting the extra costs of worldwide shipping).\nSecondly, how will you take payment online? Online shoppers will expect to pay by debit or credit card. Depending on the sort of customers you have, they may want to pay by PayPal too. To take payments online, you need a payment gateway. There are dozens of different payment gateways out there that can integrate with WooCommerce. You will need to research which one is right for you. They each charge you different amounts for each transaction. Some have a monthly fee, some don’t. We will be able to advise which is right for your business. As a rule though, avoid ones where your site handles card data. You want all of the card data handling to be done by big businesses who spend lots of money on IT security, even if it means that the customer leaves your website for a moment to enter their card details.\nFor The Shop on the Borderlands, we recommended PayPal Standard as the payment gateway as it offered the best combination of low fees and the ability to pay by PayPal, something which would be important for many of the shop’s customers.\nOne final thing that we did for The Shop on the Borderlands was to design a logo for them. The owner had a vague idea in his mind of what sort of theme he was going for – something inspired by the covers of late 70s / early 80s Dungeons & Dragons books – but not much else. So we were able to design an original logo with a similar typeface, the ‘S’ turned into a dragon, and a horned helmet at a jaunty angle perched on the ‘B’. Oh, and as a final little gimmick, the image at the top of the page changes ever so slightly every time!\n* Games like Dungeons & Dragons that you play with like-minded individuals and funny-shaped dice.", "domain": "hobby"}

Whether its dazzling gem-set pieces, its DEFY 21 Ultra series of highly chromatic movements or even artistic collaborations, the imagination is the only limit when translating high-frequency chronometry into frequencies of light and colour. With the new DEFY 21 Chroma, the Manufacture is once again expressing this notion in its purest and brightest form yet.\nSince white isn’t a colour itself, but a combination of all the colours in the visible light range, it was only natural to craft the DEFY 21 Chroma’s case in white ceramic with an all-over matte finish to provide a perfect contrast and further accentuate the colours within. The sapphire crystal gives way to a refracted rainbow spread evenly across the open dial and movement, with a perfectly transitioning gradient of colours spanning the entire colour spectrum, starting with red at 12 o’clock then shifting through orange, yellow, green, blue, violet and pink in a clockwise manner. The meticulously applied colours on the markers and 1/100 of a second scale extend beyond the dial and out of the case, with the crown’s rubber grip ring as well as the white cordura-effect rubber strap’s stitching following the colour arrangement of the dial. This also extends to the chronograph counter hands, each tipped in a different tone.\nVastly open and allowing a view into the ingenious 1/100th of a second chronograph movement beneath, the dial features raised white chronograph counters matching the case, beneath which the extraordinarily decorated movement shines through. Each bridge is finished in a different metallic colour, again following the gradient of the dial’s markers.\nVisible through the sapphire case back, one can admire the singular El Primero 21 automatic high-frequency 1/100th of a second chronograph that’s at the peak of performance and precision, featuring two independent regulating organs and gear trains for the timekeeping and chronograph functions, operating at frequencies of 5Hz (36’000 VpH) and 50Hz (360’000 VpH), respectively.\nLimited to 200 pieces and available at ZENITH boutiques and authorized retailers around the world, the DEFY 21 Chroma demonstrates the Manufacture’s mastery of the high-frequency automatic 1/100th of a second chronograph, while adding an unprecedented and playfully vibrant palette of colours where least expected for a high-performance chronograph with truly no equal.\nZENITH: TIME TO REACH YOUR STAR.\nZENITH exists to inspire individuals to pursue their dreams and make them come true – against all odds. Since its establishment in 1865, ZENITH became the first watch manufacture in the modern sense of the term, and its watches have accompanied extraordinary figures that dreamt big and strived to achieve the impossible – from Louis Blériot’s history-making flight across the English Channel to Felix Baumgartner’s record-setting stratospheric free-fall jump. ZENITH is also highlighting visionary and trailblazing women – past and present – by celebrating their accomplishments and creating the DREAMHERS platform where women share their experiences and inspire others to fulfill their dreams.\nZENITH exclusively uses its own in-house developed and manufactured movements across all of its watches. Since the creation of the El Primero in 1969, the world’s first automatic chronograph calibre, ZENITH has gone on to master the complication with even more precision, capable of measurements to the closest 1/10th of a second in the most recent Chronomaster lines, and 1/100th of a second in the DEFY collection. ZENITH has been shaping the future of Swiss watchmaking since 1865, accompanying those who dare to challenge themselves and break barriers. The time to reach your star is now.\nThis press release is distributed by Best Crew PR on behalf of ZENITH.\nFor media enquiries and more information, please contact:\nBest Crew PR\nDEFY 21 CHROMA\n|Key points||1/100th of a second Chronograph movement.

The Trust is auctioning the giant shirt – which is signed by thousands of ‘Toon’ fans from all over the world – to raise money to help with the launch and development of the Junior branch of the Trust – JUSTNewcastle.\nThe giant shirt made its first appearance at the Boxing Day fixture at St James’ Park, where it was passed through the East Stand crowd just before the game. It has also appeared on the centre spot at a number of other Newcastle United matches prior to kick off.\nAt a special event held on Monday 21st February 2011 at Northern Rock’s head office in Gosforth, Andy Tate, Customer and Commercial Director at Northern Rock, handed over the 10m x 15m shirt to NUST Chair, Norman Watson.\nNorman Watson, Chair NUST said: “This is a very generous donation from Northern Rock and will be used by the Trust to help support their work in setting up and running the Junior Supporters’ Trust. The establishment of a junior branch – which will be free to join for under 17s – demonstrates NUST’s commitment to encouraging young people to support their club and to help ensure there is a next generation of Newcastle United fans.\n“We’re sure that bidders for the shirt will recognise this as a great chance to own a unique piece of Newcastle United’s history, whilst at the same time providing funds for such a worthy cause.”\nIt is hoped that the money raised by the NUST for JUSTNewcastle from the shirt sale will make the Junior Trust a reality by providing starter packs, finance football tournaments and education for younger supporters about the great history of both the football club and the city.\nThe cost of watching live football, coupled with easy access to televised football now means that youngsters no longer automatically support their local team. Indeed club loyalties are weakest among the young. A junior branch of NUST will help cement the support of current young fans and attract new young fans by encouraging youngsters in the region to make Newcastle United their team of choice.\nBuilding an affinity for the local football club at an early age, can have wide ranging benefits for youngsters and the Club, as well as increasing a sense of pride for the local community. Through the fully inclusive JUSTNewcastle, the NUST can unlock this potential support of young fans and implant in them the good values needed to be Newcastle United supporters.\nAndy Tate, Customer and Commercial Director of Northern Rock said: “We thought it fitting that the giant shirt, emblazoned with the names of thousands of supporters, should go to an organisation that aims to nurture the next generation of fans, to enable them to launch and develop this very worthwhile Junior Trust.”\nWelcome to the NUST Shirt Auction.\nNUST is auctioning the giant shirt by means of closed bids through email. Businesses and individuals have the opportunity to bid on this unique piece of Newcastle United’s history, whilst at the same time providing funds for such a worthy cause.\nGood luck with your bid!", "domain": "hobby"}

I’ve been busy.\nJust before the 2014/15 season of the Coastal Sounds Community Choir, my wife (and fellow Artistic Director) and I decided that it was time to grow our little organization into one that could service the singing needs of more people. This included more permanent projects for different demographics, and building on our “occasional” projects so that people could take part in activities that didn’t require a night of their week all year round.\nThus, we evolved into the Coastal Sounds Choir Association.\nOne of the CSCA’s biggest benefits is its locality. The Town of Conception Bay South has a very strong artistic community (music, dance and visual art), helped along by a plethora of music schools, dance studios and other community-based programs. Considering it’s the second largest municipality in all of Newfoundland, it’s a great pleasure to offer musical activities to the local residents to save them the trouble of travelling to St. John’s or farther (even though St. John’s is only 20 minutes away, folks really love to stay in their town, hence all the schools and studios).\nThe plan was to build on the recent success of two new projects that were done in the past two years. The first is the Christmas Cantata Project, which premiered in 2013 with just my own singers from Coastal Sounds and Topsail United Church, and then was opened up to all interested singers the surrounding areas in 2014. We’re now on our third Cantata and it’s become one of the most popular parts of the musical year in CBS, for both concert-goers and singers. Singers enjoy the opportunity to take part in a “spread-out” rehearsal schedule (this year, over five Saturdays) because it can be difficult to commit to another weekly activity, especially for those who work long days or have young families. The Christmas Cantata Project has received such positive feedback that we intend to keep it an annual tradition for our Christmas concert.\nThe second is our Summer Music Program, which was originally organized by just Beth and I, but was rolled under the umbrella of the CSCA during the expansion. Over the past two Augusts, we have held an Adult Choir Camp for singers who wanted to receive an accelerated choral education but could also not commit all year long to a permanent choir. The program accepts singers of all musical backgrounds (like the Coastal Sounds Community Choir, our flagship project) and aims to just get people singing, to get them interested and show them just how much fun it can be. The Adult program continues to grow year after year and we hope that we can expand it to youth in 2016.\nAnd finally, we created a second permanent project, the Aurora Women’s Choir. We held auditions for interested members in September 2014 and started with 19 singers. This year, we’re up to 28. Even though the choir’s only been together for just over a year, they’ve had wonderful growth in both capability and opportunity. Aurora won a Gold Standard at the 2015 St. John’s Rotary Music Festival and in July 2016, they have been invited to represent the province at the UNISONG Choral Festival in Ottawa. It’s awesome to think that we’re only getting started and the more repertoire research I do, the more excited I get about all the wonderful music there is for women’s choir. After working in Barbershop and men’s voices for a decade, it felt right to explore the other side of things as well.\nWe rebranded this year (a HUGE thank you to WaterWerks Communications for their hard work) and I invite you to our website to check it all out. One main focus for growth in 2016 is a new project called the Con Fuoco Youth Choir. This choir is intended to be a comprehensive choral education for young singers aged 12-18. Auditions will be scheduled soon so watch our website and Like our Facebook page to stay up to date.\nIt’s been an incredible year and I am overjoyed at the idea of getting more people involved in choral singing. It has obviously changed my life and will change yours, too. Come to our 2015 Annual Holiday Concert and see all the smiles for yourself.", "domain": "hobby"}

Today, we’re going to take a look at how you can choose the best lubricant to keep your bicycle pedaling for years to come.\nAccording to this link, there are three main types of lubricant you can use on your bike: chain oil, light oil and grease.\nTo keep your bicycle chain lubricated properly, you’re going to want a synthetic,\n“wet style” lubricant (like Finish Line Cross Country) that can enable your bike to handle high-torque pedaling through rough riding conditions over long distances. If you have an older bicycle with a 3-speed internal gear hub, a product like Phil Tenacious Oil might be all you need. While wax is generally not quite as good as oil, if you live in a dry climate area, you may prefer a wax lubricant such as Boeshield T-9, which doesn’t collect as much dirt as oil does and is easier to apply.\nTry to stay away from light oils that are vegetable-based because they tend to gum up. One of the best light oils is TriFlow-- a synthetic, Teflon-based lubricant that comes with a tube to make it easy to apply in hard-to-access areas. It lubricates quickly and thoroughly, so you should only need a few drops to get the job done.\nIt’s a good idea to have some waterproof grease on hand at all times when working on your bicycle. You can use a tube and a grease gun for squirting oil into tight spaces or use it on a small brush to grease the threads.", "domain": "hobby"}

you shall make eleven curtains in all. 8 The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; the eleven curtains shall have the same measurements. 9 You shall join five curtains by themselves and the other six curtains by themselves, and you shall double over the sixth curtain at the front of the tent. 10 You shall make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in the first set, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in the second set.\n11 “You shall also make fifty clasps of bronze, and you shall put the clasps into the loops and join the tent together so that it will be a unit. 12 The overhanging part that is left over in the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that is left over, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle. 13 The cubit on one side and the cubit on the other, of what is left over in the length of the curtains of the tent, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on one side and on the other, to cover it. 14 And you shall make a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red and a covering of fine leather above.\nBoards and Bases\n15 “Then you shall make the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright. 16 Ten cubits shall be the length of each board and one and a half cubits the width of each board. 17 There shall be two tenons for each board, fitted to one another; that is what you shall do for all the boards of the tabernacle. 18 You shall make the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side. 19 You shall make forty bases of silver under the twenty boards, two bases under one board for its two tenons and two bases under another board for its two tenons; 20 and for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, twenty boards, 21 and their forty bases of silver; two bases under one board and two bases under another board. 22 For the back of the tabernacle, to the west, you shall make six boards. 23 You shall make two boards for the corners of the tabernacle at the back. 24 They shall be double beneath, and together they shall be complete to its top to the first ring; this is how it shall be with both of them: they shall form the two corners. 25 And there shall be eight boards with their bases of silver, sixteen bases; two bases under one board and two bases under another board.\n26 “Then you shall make bars of acacia wood, five for the boards of one side of the tabernacle, 27 and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle for the back side to the west. 28 The middle bar in the center of the boards shall pass through from end to end. 29 And you shall overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold as holders for the bars; and you shall overlay the bars with gold. 30 Then you shall erect the tabernacle according to its plan which you have been shown on the mountain.\nThe Veil and Curtain\n31 “You shall also make a veil of violet, purple, and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen; it shall be made with cherubim, the work of a skilled embroiderer. 32 Then you shall hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold, their hooks also of gold, on four bases of silver. 33 You shall hang up the veil under the clasps, and bring in the ark of the testimony there within the veil; and the veil shall serve as a partition for you between the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place. 34 You shall put the atoning cover on the ark of the testimony in the Most Holy Place. 35 And you shall set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand opposite the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south; and you shall put the table on the north side.\n36 “You shall also make a curtain for the doorway of the tent of violet, purple, and scarlet material and fine twisted linen, the work of a weaver. 37 And you shall make five pillars of acacia for the curtain and overlay them with gold, their hooks also of gold; and you shall cast five bases of bronze for them.\nTurn in your Bible to Exodus 27\nThe Bronze Altar\n27 “Now you shall make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits long and five cubits wide; the altar shall be square, and its height shall be three cubits. 2 You shall make its horns on its four corners; its horns shall be of one piece with it, and you shall overlay it with bronze. 3 And you shall make its pails for removing its ashes, and its shovels, its basins, its forks, and its firepans; you shall make all its utensils of bronze. 4 You shall also make for it a grating, a netting of bronze, and on the netting you shall make four bronze rings at its four corners. 5 And you shall put it under the ledge of the altar, so that the netting will reach halfway up the altar. 6 You shall also make carrying poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood and overlay them with bronze. 7 Its poles shall be inserted into the rings, so that the poles will be on the two sides of the altar when it is carried. 8 You shall make it hollow with planks; as it was shown to you on the mountain, so they shall make it.\nCourtyard of the Tabernacle\n9 “Now you shall make the courtyard of the tabernacle. On the south side there shall be hangings for the courtyard of fine twisted linen, a hundred cubits long for one side; 10 and its pillars shall be twenty, with their twenty bases of bronze; the hooks of the pillars and their bands shall be of silver. 11 Likewise for the north side in length there shall be hangings a hundred cubits long, and its twenty pillars with their twenty bases of bronze; the hooks of the pillars and their bands shall be of silver. 12 For the width of the courtyard on the west side shall be hangings of fifty cubits, with their ten pillars and their ten bases. 13 The width of the courtyard on the east side shall be fifty cubits. 14 The hangings for the one side of the gate shall be fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three bases. 15 And for the other side there shall be hangings of fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three bases. 16 And for the gate of the courtyard there shall be a curtain of twenty cubits, of violet, purple, and scarlet material and fine twisted linen, the work of a weaver, with their four pillars and their four bases. 17 All the pillars around the courtyard shall be joined together with silver, with their hooks of silver and their bases of bronze. 18 The length of the courtyard shall be a hundred cubits, and the width fifty throughout, and the height five cubits of fine twisted linen, and their bases of bronze. 19 All the utensils of the tabernacle used in all its service, and all its pegs, and all the pegs of the courtyard, shall be of bronze.\n20 “And you shall command the sons of Israel that they bring you clear oil of beaten olives for the light, to make a lamp burn continually. 21 In the tent of meeting, outside the veil which is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall keep it in order from evening to morning before the Lord; it shall be a permanent statute throughout their generations for the sons of Israel.\nNew American Standard Bible®, Copyright © 1960, 1971, 1977, 1995, 2020 by The Lockman Foundation.

Having grown up fishing for steelhead in Northern California, this was unlike anything I had ever done. Not only was the fishing superb, if one river was blown out or didn’t have fish in it, we were quickly able to make a change and check out another stream. Rick’s knowledge of the islands, rivers and ocean were top notch. From dropping shrimp and crab pots int he morning, to running up rivers in jet boats and hiking the most gorgeous rain forest you will ever see, the memories stick out vibrantly. The fish are not always easy, the wading and hiking can be strenuous, but it is well worth the effort for the rewards.For anyone looking for adventure with more wildlife than people, I would highly recommend Chrome Chasers for your next trip!\nI have had the good fortune to fish for steelhead in this area for over 15 years and I didn't start out using Chrome Chasers, but I no longer use anybody else. The time and effort they have put in, truly understanding these unique fish and their returns from the salt is impressive. In fact, it is the only place I know of where you can actually watch steelhead arrive into the first freshwater pool of a river, with the high tide. In fact, they are so fresh, they really have yet to even start to look like steelhead, as they are still \"purple!\"\nIf you truly want to experience the speed and power of truly fresh steelhead, then this is simply where and with whom you need to fish\nRick, thanks for a great trip! I can’t begin to get all of my impressions down, even nearly a year after coming home. I think that any angler with an open mind that truly loves wild steelhead for not only what they are, but also where they live, and is interested in seeing those unique places that steelhead thrive, as well as learning new techniques to fish for them effectively, owes it to themselves to fish southeast Alaska with Chrome Chasers. My mind wandered to the summer run fish of my home waters in the Columbia Basin and the winter run fish of the bigger Oregon coastal rivers as I sat on shore and watched you and Nick dissect the technical drifts of the first pool above tidewater on Mystery River X. It was, and still is, incredible to think that steelhead are able to adapt to and thrive in so many unique places and that we as anglers can adapt our tackle and techniques to suit each environment. Fishing with Chrome Chasers was truly an eye opening experience for me. The fresh crab and shrimp at dinner each night wasn’t bad either!", "domain": "hobby"}

So, if you’re looking to catch up on some comics and aren’t quite sure where to start, take a look:\n*Disclaimer: I have not yet read the limited series “Thrawn”, “The Last Jedi Adaptation” or “Lando: Double or Nothing”, which are currently being published*\n- Rogue One Adaptation\nThis six-issue adaptation of the first “anthology” film is pretty straight-forward. It doesn’t offer a whole lot of additional content, but it does feature solid artwork by Emilio Laiso and is a good-enough comic version of the film. If you’re a big Rogue One fan, the trade paperback collection may be something to look into. The trade also features the one-shot “Cassian & K-2SO Special 1”.\n- The Force Awakens Adaptation\nLike the Rogue One adaptation, The Force Awakens is presented just fine in this adaptation by Chuck Wendig (Star Wars: Aftermath) and penciled by Luke Ross. One of my favorite Star Wars Marvel covers to date comes from issue #5, a menacing black and red cover featuring Kylo Ren with his saber ignited. The trade collection features the six-issue run, but very few surprises.\nSimilar to Lucasfilm and their anthology films, Marvel started off their run in 2015 based entirely off of nostalgia. With limited runs for each classic character, Chewbacca wasn’t about to be forgotten. The story is by far anything incredible, but it’s a heart-warming, hero’s tale with colorful artwork by Phil Noto. And for all of you sweaty fans, the mystery behind whether or not Chewie was given a medal on Yavin is finally solved!\n- Doctor Aphra\nDoctor Aphra is an original character who was first introduced in Kieron Gillen’s Darth Vader series in 2015, and was given her own series in 2016 once “Vader” wrapped up. A sly, sarcastic archaeologist, Aphra and her torture-hungry droids 0-0-0 and BT-1 (think R2 and 3PO on Opposite Day) cross the galaxy in search of rare artifacts. While they were often the highlight of the Vader series, the ongoing Aphra run can be hit-or-miss as far as content goes. If you’re looking for new, original stories and characters, this is a jackpot. But personally, I’ve enjoyed Aphra’s supporting role most so far.\n- Jedi of the Republic – Mace Windu\nSet shortly after Episode II: Attack of the Clones, this limited series follows Jedi Master Mace Windu as he heads into battle during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The story details the inner struggle the Jedi have with their roles in the recent war, now seen as army generals for the Republic. The story is short but sweet, and again nothing overly eye-popping unless you actually asked for a Mace Windu story.\n- Poe Dameron\nDue to Disney and Lucasfilm being extra top-secret about their new films, we’ve been very limited in the vein of content involving the sequel trilogy. The ongoing Poe Dameron comic is one of the very few examples we have that delves into what happened before and during the events of The Force Awakens. It’s a solid read, especially if you’re a fan of Oscar Isaac as Dameron in the movies. The character translates very well to comic form!\n- Obi-Wan & Anakin\nThe Marvel comics have focused more on the Original Trilogy era, but when it delves into Prequel-era stories, the content can be glorious. Obi-Wan & Anakin is one of the most underrated limited runs to date, set a few years after The Phantom Menace with Obi-Wan training a young Anakin while on a peace-keeping mission. But perhaps the most interesting part of the series is when Chancellor Palpatine takes Anakin under his wing and helps him with inner conflicts of becoming a Jedi, showing the early stages of what ends up being a galaxy-changing relationship.\n- Shattered Empire\nShatted Empire was one of the first pieces of the “Journey to The Force Awakens” multimedia campaign. The four-issue story follows the Rebel Alliance shortly after the Battle of Endor. Jedi Master Luke Skywalker is trying to clean up the fallout of the Empire’s end, still spread across the galaxy in “last stand” mode. Shattered Empire also features the introduction of Poe Dameron’s parents, revealed to be Rebel fighters alongside Luke and Leia. If you’re curious as to what happened post-JEDI, this is definitely the trade you want to pick up. It also features the One-Shot “C-3PO 1: The Phantom Limb”.\n- Captain Phasma\nLook, we can all agree that Captain Phasma was a bit of a disappointment in both The Force Awakens AND The Last Jedi (even though we were promised Phasma would have a bigger role in the latter, which I’m still confused about). Anyways, Marvel’s Phasma run is the perfect remedy, detailing how Phasma escaped the crumbling Starkiller Base at the end of The Force Awakens, and showing just how brutal and dangerous the character SHOULD have been portrayed on the big screen. Check this one out if you want more of the character you agree got short-handed.\n- Han Solo\nHan Solo got his own limited run set during Episodes IV & V, written by Marjorie Liu in 2015. This is a great arc centered around everyone’s favorite smuggler and Wookiee co-pilot. Inspired by the film The Cannonball Run, this is a fun adventure if you’re looking for newer media covering Solo’s adventures between the core saga films. This is also a great series to visit (or revisit) with the hype of Solo: A Star Wars Story. The trade can be found online, collecting all five issues.\n- Princess Leia\nThe series Leia was given back in 2015 met a lot of criticism, although personally I found it to be one of the strongest character arcs in the comics to date. Also set after A New Hope, we find the Princess pressing through after the obliteration of her home planet Alderaan. While she wants to mourn, Leia stands tough and rallies the people of Alderaan who, like her, were not caught in the planet’s destruction. This story is a true test of whether Leia can be a strong Rebel leader in the wake of ultimate tragedy. I definitely recommend this run!\n- Darth Maul\nLike I said, when Marvel delves into the Prequel era, their content seems to be the strongest of all. Darth Maul’s five-issue series is no exception. The story takes place shortly before The Phantom Menace, while he is still being trained by Darth Sidious. He is forbidden to engage in Jedi combat just yet, so he takes to the underworld to kill criminals. The most fascinating parts of Darth Maul’s character were always highlighted in his multimedia roles, rather than his time in the movies. His Clone Wars arc is incredible, as is his final arc in Star Wars Rebels. In this comic run, however, Maul is both tempted by the Dark Side, as well as tempted to stray from it. If you’re a fan of the Dathomirian Sith Lord, this is the trade you should be catching up on.\nWhen the animated TV series Star Wars Rebels premiered in 2014, it was met with praise. Set a few years before A New Hope, it followed a band of Rebels who had a goal of helping others while also standing up to the galaxy-consuming Empire. Kanan Jarrus, one of the show’s leads, known as Padawan Caleb Dume during the Clone Wars, goes on the run after the Empire’s Order 66; the purge of all Jedi. The story is pretty amazing, giving insight into the character’s origin. We get to follow Kanan in hiding, using abilities from both his Jedi training and those taught by new allies and enemies in the underworld to survive. The series is collected in two trade paperbacks, Vol 1. “The Last Padawan” and Vol. 2 “First Blood”, as well as combined in omnibus form.\nLando Calrissian’s comic arc from 2015 is one of my favorites Marvel has produced. It follows the adventures of Lando before he became the Baron Administrator of Cloud City as we see in Empire Strikes Back. The story sees Lando traveling the galaxy on smooth-talking smuggler missions alongside his pal Lobot. This comic, written by Charles Soule, gets a bit strange and wild, and really sticks with you. In order to pay off a debt, Lando accepts a mission to raid an abandoned Imperial yacht in space, the owner of which turns out to be a much bigger threat than anticipated. The series also sees the introduction of alien clone warriors Aleksin and Pavol, who look and fight very similar to Marvel’s Black Panther. Like I said, this comic tip-toes on the weird, out-there parts of the Star Wars universe at times, but for that it’s an absolute must-read.\n- Darth Vader\nThe first Marvel Darth Vader series ran for 25 issues, between 2015 and 2016, written by Kieron Gillen. The story followed the aftermath of the first Death Star’s destruction by the Rebel Alliance, and how Vader’s position as Emperor Palpatine’s right-hand man was jeopardized because of his “failure”. Palpatine doubts Vader’s abilities, and downgrades him to smaller missions under Imperial supervision. Their relationship becomes strenuous and even more vile throughout the series, and Vader wants to prove the Emperor he’s still the strongest warrior in the galaxy. Vader sets off on his own quest to find the pilot who destroyed the Death Star, sensing that whoever it was is strong with the Force. As I mentioned before, the series also introduces archaeologist Doctor Aphra, and occasionally crosses over with the title “Star Wars” series.\n- Star Wars\nThe core series “Star Wars” was the book Marvel first launched in January 2015, and as of July 2018, will have run for an impressive 50 issues so far. The series takes place during the time between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back (a trend for most of the “classic character” series), and follows the main characters Luke, Leia, Han and Chewie as they help continue to grow the Rebellion and prevent the Empire from ruling the galaxy. The story has several amazing arcs, each one seemingly better than the last. From time to time there are stories from the “Journals of Ben Kenobi” that Luke reads from what Old Ben left behind for him, detailing his time on Tatooine while watching over Luke as he grew up. The Star Wars title also has a very underrated Yoda flashback arc as well. There are currently seven trade collections, the longest ongoing series of the Marvel re-launch.\n- Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith\nAfter Kieron Gillen’s Darth Vader run ended in 2016, Charles Soule picked up with a new ongoing Vader series in 2017, following the Sith Lord’s mission to purge all Jedi immediately following the events of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Not only do we see the origin of his red lightsaber, but “Dark Lord of the Sith” is one of the most brooding yet adventurous Star Wars comics of the new Marvel collection. It’s the time period people have been clamoring to see more of Vader in, especially after seeing his brutal cameo in Rogue One in 2016. Vader is at his absolute strongest here, hunting Jedi and leading a pack of blood-thirsty Inquisitors at the command of the Emperor. While the series hopefully has several issues remaining, this is definitely the one you want to jump into and strike while the iron is hot. Vader at his strongest = a must-read.", "domain": "hobby"}

My favorite part of Christmas is decorating our home. I love reminiscing as I go through years of decorations we’ve collected. I become transported as I unwrap each decoration, from the colorful ornaments my children made when they were small, to the big boughs and wreaths my dear friend Glorynn crafted when we first rebuilt our home, to gorgeous glass Waterford tree globes Robbie and I collected when we lived in New York City, to the ornaments friends gifted me while we were still in college. Each decoration fills my heart with warm, wonderful memories.\nA few days after Thanksgiving, when all the turkey leftovers are gone and I regret eating that extra piece of pumpkin pie, I take down the Thanksgiving decorations, put them away, and lug out the large green and red bins filled with Christmas decorations. First, I place a wreath on our red front door. Then, I grab my clippers, head outside, and cut tree branches to go into the white stone pot on the porch where the red geraniums grew throughout the summer.\nThis year, for the first time, I chose a more rustic wreath for our front door. This one, made by a friend, is decorated with dried berries and strips of burlap wrapped around a wire frame.\nHere’s the geranium pot I fill with branches, pine cones, berries, a ribbon, and some Christmas potpourri. The potpourri at the entrance gives off a lovely scent for guests both coming and going.\nNext, I go inside and decorate the mantle and windows. Personalized needlepoint stockings are hung waiting to be filled. I group red and green candles, an old fashioned wooden nutcracker, a santa, fragrant pinecones, and branches from the yard to complete the fireplace and mantle.\nTa da! Last but not least, the tree. Robbie spent over three hours hanging over 1,500 LED lights, then I hung each memory-filled decoration, and we finished with a red and gold Florentine angel carefully placed on top. In our family tradition, we start placing gifts under the tree as they are wrapped or received through the post, and of course, we wait for Santa’s arrival for our abundant tree to be complete.\nWhat’s your favorite decoration? And, what holiday tradition does your family share?\nMerry Christmas and Happy Holidays from our home to yours!", "domain": "hobby"}

It is \"THE\" cake we make for every family birthday and gathering.\nAll I can say to Nigella Lawson is \"THANK YOU!\" My daughter and I have food allergies and this cake recipe is a God send. This cake is also paleo-friendly for those looking to cut back on grains.\nI describe it as a dense, dark chocolate European-style cake, but it's better than that.\nI've tweaked Nigella's original recipe and the version we make is sugar free - we use stevia - and people are amazed by every decadent and delightful bite. We top with coconut whip cream or ice cream.\n⅔ cup regular olive oil (plus more for greasing)\n6 tablespoons good-quality unsweetened cocoa (sifted)\n½ cup boiling water\n2 teaspoons best vanilla extract\n1½ cups almond meal\n½ teaspoon baking soda\n1 pinch of salt\n1 cup superfine stevia (or sugar)\n3 large eggs\nPreheat your oven to 325ºF. Grease a 9inch cake pan (springform tin works well, but not necessary) with a little oil and line the base with baking parchment.\nMeasure and sift the unsweetened cocoa into a bowl and whisk in the boiling water until you have a smooth, chocolatey, still runny paste. Whisk in the vanilla extract, then set aside to cool a little.\nIn another bowl, combine the almond meal with the baking soda and pinch of salt.\nPut the sugar, olive oil and eggs into the bowl of a freestanding mixer with the paddle attachment (or other bowl and whisk arrangement of your choice - I use a hand mixer) and beat together vigorously for about 3 minutes until you have a pale-primrose, aerated and thickened cream.\nTurn the speed down a little and pour in the cocoa mixture, beating as you go, and when all is scraped in you can slowly tip in the ground almond mixture.\nScrape down, stir, then pour into the prepared cake pan.\nBake for 40-45 minutes or until the sides are set and the very centre, on top, still looks slightly damp. A cake tester should come up mainly clean but with a few sticky chocolate crumbs clinging to it. That's what makes it dense (not dry) inside.\nLet it cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack. If you're using a springform pan, ease the sides of the cake with a small metal spatula and spring it out of the tin. In my world, I simply let the cake cool in the pan. When I'm ready to pull out, I simply take a spatula around the sides (to make sure nothing is sticking), put a plate on top and flip the mixture upside down so the cake lands centred on the plate (the parchment paper helps release).", "domain": "hobby"}

The terrain was sloping and consisted of hard rock. We had to think a little about the shape and size. All the square buildings around it first made you think of a rectangular swimming pond. Nevertheless, we decided to propose a long, more or less banana-shaped pool, the shape of which would fit in well with the road that runs along it. The circular retaining wall of local stone that we built around the pool fits in beautifully with the old buildings. From the road, only this circular retaining wall can be seen and the swimming water remains \"hidden\" so that there is sufficient privacy during swimming.\nWith its 22 metres length and maximum 8 metres width (and containing 180 m³ of water), this swimming pond is very large, but with its size it fits perfectly into its environment.

Tailgate Troubadour takes you on a timeless Americana road trip with Telecasters, Gretsches, Dobro, Lap Steel, Baritone, Mando-guitar and glowing vintage amps as your passengers…\nREVIEWS OF TAILGATE TROUBADOUR\nVintage Guitar Magazine – John Heidt – Review June 2005 Issue\nGreg V. has played and toured with acts Double Trouble and Buddy Miles. But that won’t prepare you for this album of instrumentals that contains more tasty, atmospheric guitars than you’re likely to hear in a couple hundred albums. Greg plays guitars, baritone, lap steel, dobro, and mando guitar, and there’s not a lot of flash – just the occasional flurry of notes, but it doesn’t show up unless it adds something. More likely, you’ll hear the kind of parts you hear in the opener, “Rusting Soul.” The soaring lap steel leads into burning hot tasty electric soloing. Dobro darts in and out where needed. “Sunset To Moonrise” is one of those lazy (in the best way) scorchers with an array of sounds that’ll delight and confound you. In fact, this whole record has such a dense batch of noises you’ll find something new on every listen. In some ways, it’s reminiscent of Bill Frisell’s work, without the jazzy touches. A good checkpoint for sound might be the only non-original on the record, a dazzling take on “Amazing Grace.” Greg’s version captures the soaring feel and sound that this song should have. Chops-wise, Greg definitely has it, banjo rolls, two-and-three-string bends, and bends behind the neck are right on the money and add so much feel to the songs. Singer/songwriters would kill for a guy like this to come along. He’s got chops, but he’ll only give what the song calls for.\nLyle Workman – guitarist with Sting, Beck, Film Composer\nI’ve known Greg for many years, and the moment I heard the CD, I felt the music was a perfect reflection of the man; a direct link from his soul, mind and character. It felt real, honest and complete, three dimensional; it’s the soundtrack of Greg. Tailgate Troubadour is full of wonderful playing, hum-able melodies, and beautifully rich guitar tones. It’s music that features guitar but is not guitar music; it’s so much more than that. Greg’s voice is strong, and I’m happy it’s being heard. Do us all a favor Greg, give us more of your music!\nRonnie Montrose – guitarist – producer\nThe title, “Tailgate Troubadour” might conjure up an image of a swaggering, Devil-may-care surfer sippin’ on a brew and strummin’ an old Harmony acoustic guitar on a tailgate at the beach somewere… Nothing could be further from the truth when it comes to Greg V’s masterful project… From start to finish Greg weaves an intricate tapestry of sonic delight with precision and purpose. Sometimes delicate, sometimes fierce, always interesting and all the while soulful and sublime. Definitely do your head and ears a favor and pick up this beauty! You’ll find yourself listening again and again ***** 5 stars\nTom Bukovac – Nashville session guitarist, Trigger Hippy\nTailgate Troubadour plainly shows the mature, restrained blending of interesting sonic textures that only many years of experience can teach an artist….tasteful, mysterious, creative, and most of all inspired.\nDavid Grissom – guitarist with Dixie Chicks, Storyville, John Mellancamp\nGreat tone and textures from a very soulful player….check it out.\nTim Pierce – guitarist with Bruce Springsteen, Don Henley, Santana\nGreg’s Tailgate Troubadour is a great driving soundtrack. Equal parts Americana-Roots-Rock, with a dreaming quality like the best movie scores.\nDavid Torn – solo artitst and guitarist – producer David Bowie, Jeff Beck\nGV is SUCH a great player. it’s relieving to listen to a musician (who plays the guitar) so deeply focussed on the most difficult & refined of musical techniques, those that are necessarily relevant to his own expression & contextual development; the virtuosity of the subtle & specific manipulation of tones that gv exercises is very real, to me. listening to gv’s music, i always feel kinda satisfyingly geographically displaced — like there’s this clearly ‘american’ sound, ya know, but then there’s also present the soul of imagined spaces somehow more open, more remote, older, historical….. like, a russian soul, maybe….. an effect on me akin to that of reading bulgakov’s ‘the white guard’ or ‘a country doctor’s notebook’ or something, wherein ‘place & time’ are felt, noted & key to the plot, but, well….. the meaning of the story is not really bound by nor restricted to this place-in-question. to me, greg is a musikant —who lives music, and whose music reflects something of life— rather than the more typical musiker, who plays an instrument well. and, anyways: he IS — by any stretch of my imagination — a freakin’ DUDE.\nRichard Bennett – producer – guitarist with Mark Knopfler, Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris\nGreg’s Tailgate Troubadour is a showcase for his soulful, rootsy and rocking guitar mastery. It covers a wide spectrum of styles from some serious slide guitar playing to Hollywood soundscapes all supported by a wonderful rhythm section that knows what the word groove means. Through it all, Tailgate Troubadour remains focused on the voice of the record, Greg V.’s great guitar playing. It will get your attention.\nKenny Greenberg – producer – guitarist with Faith Hill, Gretchen Wilson, Amy Grant\nThe buzz among guitar player/tone freaks here in Nashville is Greg V’s new CD. It’s filled with soulful playing, great guitar tones, and yes, believe it or not, great songs. Cinematic in it’s approach, it’s a total vibe record that does what a record should do, which is take you on a journey from beginning to end.\nShane Fontayne – guitarist with Sting, Bruce Springsteen, Rod Stewart\nThere’s a traditional earthiness to Greg V’s “Tailgate Troubadour”, echoing a delicacy and restraint which mark the good taste he exhibits throughout the CD. It alternates from modal and romantic, to bluesy and raunchy – his guitar playing at all times skillful and dextrous.\nRedd Volkaert – solo artist and guitarist with Merle Haggard\nGreg's CD is great! He covers all the sounds and moods only he can get out of a guitar, Get it!\nTone Quest Report Magazine – David Wilson – Interview March 2005\nGreg V. is an old friend whom we first met at Atlanta’s Tabernacle playing in Double Trouble, featuring Malford Milligan on vocals and Tommy Shannon and Chris Layton from Stevie Ray’s band. Greg’s independently produced instrumental CD Tailgate Troubadour features twelve intricately-woven melodic tapestries that combine his trademark Telecaster with dobro, lapsteel, acoustic, baritone and mando guitar, a funky Gretsch Corvette, classic Fenders, and a few boutique amps for flavor. We know you’ll appreciate the lush and vibrant melodic landscapes he skillfully creates with strings, and there is much to appreciate and learn from within Tailgate Troubadour.\nPure Music Magazine – Frank Goodman – Review June 2005\nOne brilliant song erases the memory of fifty mediocre ones. One superb musician erases the memory of a hundred mediocre ones. Without saying or singing a word, Greg V is propelled to the top shelf, the realm of the few. Entirely void of bombast or artifice, and without a note or a sound overdone, V still manages to swell, glide, and grind his way hypertonefully through a dozen beautiful compositions that sound like the soundtrack for a warrior’s life–a cowboy, a sailor, a monk, a traveler. This is instrumental music of unusual depth and power. To call it cinematic almost cheapens it–it’s like music that inspires someone to make a movie, not merely music that might fit into somebody’s movie. In fact, it is a sonic movie. So many guitar, baritone, lap steel, mando guitar voices actually emerge in the compositions, it’s like great dialogue. And the interplay of the voices is so clear, and so eloquent, there’s absolutely no wasted or extra notes or riffage going on. It’s cogent, it’s all important, and it all works. Tailgate Toubadour doesn’t jump from one style or tempo to another. It’s a tone tapestry with melodic episodes or vignettes woven together from the reservoir of Americana. Mountain music, bluegrass, ambient roots rock, a dozen great songs that do not have or require a singer. But Greg V also loves playing behind great singers and writers, and will probably be hearing from quite a few of them as this shocking testament to his abilities as a composer and tonesmith begins to circulate. It’s a buzz right now in the rarified air of Nashville’s session elite. Rare quotes from a number of Music City’s finest can be found on the artist’s website. There you can also find the long list of artists with whom he’s toured and recorded. Drummer Jim Christie (Lucinda Williams) and bassist Kevin McCormick (Jackson Browne) are V’s flawless and fierce companions throughout. Truly mighty. I knew the artist as a young prodigy, the rare youth who played hell outta metal and country, and plenty in between. But he’s come worlds since then, galaxies. And we’re amazed. This issue of Pure Music also features great interviews with Buddy Miller, Lori Mckenna and Al Anderson.\nGuitar One Magazine – Michael Ross – Interview November 2005\nHow did a guitarist who put in time with rocker Ronnie Montrose and played on sessions with Mariah Carey’s producer end up with one of the best instrumental roots records of 2005? Greg’s recent album, “Tailgate Troubadour” contains a set of cinematic tunes-rendered beautifully on electric, acoustic and lap steel guitars-that projects widescreen images of the South. “I’ve got 12 five-minute movies on my record” he says, “and so I used my instruments like actors. I’d look at the mandolin and ask, ‘Do you need a speaking roll?”…\n20th Century Guitar Magazine – Robert Silverstein – Review June 2005\nA journeyman guitarist who earned his stellar reputation working for music legends like Buddy Miles and Double Trouble. The twelve track “Tailgate Troubadour” is the perfect setting to convey his formidable skills on electric, acoustic, lap steel, baritone, dobro and mando guitars plugged into vintage amps…\nBill Hullett – guitarist with Hank Williams Jr, Martina Mcbride\nTailgate Troubadour…..Greg has reached a maturity in his playing that few ever reach, in that he’s not a lick driven musician. While others may focus on something flashy or catchy, Greg paints his pictures and takes you there with every song, creating a marriage of your ears and imagination, and by doing this he really engages and challenges his listeners….This is the kind of music that many desire to make, but few ever seem to do! Well Done.\nTroy Lancaster – guitarist with Sarah Evans, Lee Ann Womack\nTailgate Troubador is a combination of diverse elements: Great tone, fresh song ideas and a spirited approach to his instruments.\nBonnie Hayes – solo artist – producer, songwriter with Bonnie Raitt\nGreg has it all: tone, ideas and technique. The music is original and sonically gorgeous. I love this cd!\nLou Toomey – guitarist with Brooks and Dunn\nTailgate Troubadour is as real as the ground we walk on… organic, rootsy, spatial color that breathes, amazing.\nHadley Hockensmith – guitarist with Neil Diamond\nGreg, I finally had a day relaxed enough to sit down with a nice cup o’ Jo & soak in your new CD. This stuff is just Great – the sounds, the compositions, the recording quality, and of course – the guitar playing! I love the way you milk so many different tones out of that Telecaster – “Twang”, “Sparkle” and “Bulldog Growl” for days! I dig all the tasty modal drones in this collection & can see I’ve got a lot to learn about open strings & tunings. You also know how to put a great rhythm section together – very strong grooves coupled with sensitivity & style. There’s something here for everyone, and the main thread that permeates the whole CD is uniqueness. In a musical world filled with techno-shredders and sound alikes, it is a real treat to hear something so fresh and truly unique! Keep up the great work.\nMark Karan – guitarist with Bob Weirs Ratdog\nYour CD has a very cinematic quality Greg… it’s very mood-evoking track to track. they each have their own “thing”- great guitar textures and grooves… lotsa room for the imagination to wander. I start to “hear” lyrics on several of them… good stuff!\nDennis Galuszka – Fender Custom Shop Master Guitar Builder\nOf all the guitar players I deal with on a near daily basis, I only have a few favorites. Since Greg V pretty much tops that list, I was very excited to receive Tailgate Troubadour. If you are looking for one of those chop snob note diarrhea records, keep looking. This collection of songs are finely crafted compositions that perfectly show what a musical player and writer Greg is. Somehow he managed to make a record that is mellow and edgy at the same time. The tones are larger than life and the rhythm section is what every songwriter would sell their first born to have. This record is even better than I had expected to hear from Greg so do yourself a favor; find a sunset, get an expensive beer, a comfortable chez lounge, play this record and feel hip. Honestly!\nJohn Havlicek – 2003 SongRamp Artist of The Year\nI recently got an early copy of Greg V’s new CD “Tailgate Troubadour” and having been a fan of his work, I blocked out some quality time to spend with the thing. I figured this was gonna be a “keeper” before I heard note one, and I sure wasn’t disappointed. Greg is one of those people that just has the “musical gene”, and his instincts never seem to fail him as he weaves layers of classic guitar tones from his Telecaster as well as a bunch of different stringed instruments into an impressive tapestry. Greg has also paid his dues touring and building an impressive resume. The maturity and depth of his playing is no doubt a result of both the miles he’s traveled and the life he’s lived…as much as his innate sense of “what fits”. The CD is all-instrumental and starts off with a lovely piece (“Rusting Soul”) that highlights both the gritty twang of a Tele with crunch as well as some mighty fine Dobro. There’s definitely a “cowboy feel” to some of Greg’s work and this a good example. Throw in some fine wah-slide over a modulation and the word “expansive” comes to mind…lovely! Just hitting the highlights…the sad/sweet “Porch Swing” is soundtrack material for the soul. Just the Tele over acoustic, bass and brushed-drums…and it rings like church bells. The title track “Tailgate Troubadour” showcases the clarity of Greg’s vision. He layers and “paints” with guitar tones with an almost Zen-like precision. His take on the classic “Amazing Grace” is totally unique. The opening reminds me (for some reason) of bagpipes and the march tempo supports that feel perfectly. The song then takes a sharp left turn into an improvisation that’s just this side of manic and then settles peacefully back into the theme again..wow! “Cottonmouth Pass” is dripping with authenticity and Greg’s Dobro and acoustic playing are a marvel of taste…all the while the song is morphing rhythmically. Finally…”6 Strings 7 Lonely Nights” is full of the kind of blazing country picking that wouldn’t sound out of place on an Outlaws record…gimme more! The most impressive thing about the record is that it never seems to descend into self-absorbed riff-gymnastics and ego-tripping. Greg also avoided the temptation to hyper-polish the production with countless dubs (technology). It’s just plain-old good music. Finally, the bass and drum chores are handled admirably by Kevin McCormick (Jackson Browne) and Jim Christie (Lucinda Williams) and these guys know how to support a track. If you can get your hands on this thing (it’s on CD Baby), sit back, listen…and enjoy!\nStu Carter – Fat Sound Guitars\nWow….a beautifully painted landscape of incredible textures, tones and melody With Tailgate Troubadour, Greg V has created an incredibly lush landscape of perfectly executed tunes. The depth and richness of the layers keeps me coming back over and over again. Wonderful guitar tones combined with simply amazing playing that is at once technically accomplished and yet accessible. Whether a fan of guitar or just a fan of music this should be required listening. Tailgate Troubadour is an adventurous road trip with the assurance that around every corner lies a beautiful overlook…..highly recommended!\nBrian Tong – Brainyard\nI got a copy of your CD and man I gotta tell you how much I love it. I’m a fan of guitar music….have been for years….Carlton, Ford, Metheny, Johnny A, Johnson….everybody….and I must say you are right up there, bro in fact beyond some of my favorites. Most guitar music is same ‘ol, same ‘ol….look at my chops, NAMM show stuff or great playing and ideas and crummy compositions. Your project is well crafted, interesting and challenging. It wasn’t until my third listen that I really appreciated how intricate the various parts were put together. I love the recording, the playing (McCormick is the real deal) and the TONES! Man, oh man the tones! Way to keep the parts interesting and not trite. I never got the feeling you were trying to show off or even play written parts…everything feels organic and spontaneous….a mark of real talent. My biggest statement is your great and poignant ‘restraint and patience’ you show through each song. I truly admire your effort Greg and hope you the very best in your playing and writing. You really have something special to offer. Mark Goldenberg is one of my favorite guitar players (I met him at Anderson Guitars one day) and his sensibilities seem to permeate the mix….cool. Keep the Faith, man! Amazing Grace….wow, inspirational and singularly unique.\nHoward Laster – Houston, TX\nIf this doesnt stir your soul, nothing will. The music on this CD is deeply reflective of the well of emotion and spirit contained inside this man’s heart and soul. Simply put, the music just comes across that way. The subtley of each note and each bar contribute to an overall arrangment of stringed instrument sounds that are all too pleasing to listen to over and over. Despite the obvoius guitar prowess, this is not a blitzkrieg of guitar hero notes, but instead a refined chain of melodies with an emphasis on texture and tone. Each song takes you to a different state of mind; however, all with a common thread of soulfulness. I have listened to Amazing Grace many times, yet the hair never fails to raise up on my neck and I get a chill listening to it as it is truly inspirational. Songs like Sunset to Moonrise, Autumn Kiss and Valley Voices simply cry out with longing and at times almost a deep sadness. If you are looking for music that stirs your soul, lifts your spirt and cleanses you with a good cry, this is it. This is one of the best CDs I have purchased in years and is my favortie guitar instrumental CD period. I highly recommend it to anyone.\nRick Johnson – RJDesign\nDrawing upon his varied influences, Greg V’s Tailgate Troubadour presents a broad palette of musical colors blended in such a way as to gently escort you through his sonic landscape. Casual listeners will enjoy the music as it’s coaxed rather than contrived, yet a musician will appreciate the ease, comfort and confidence exuded by Greg V.s abilties.\nAndrew Solner – Mako Amplification\nBeautiful,This CD drips heavy with emotion. It makes me want to take a scenic road trip in a pickup…!!?? No turkeys on this one, and Greg’s playing and writing are fantastic. It’s very refreshing to hear a great CD by a great guitar player that everyone can enjoy, not just fretboard junkies. If you want a soundscape, an atmosphere, a mood, you must buy Tailgate Troubadour. Bravo!!!!\nTasty and heart felt, I loved it from the first play …and it just gets better with each play. It’s a keen mix of Americana and country, swamp and edgy rock and folk with a twist. I love that growling Tele, the sweet dobro and the snarling lap steel. It just all fit together real well, every cut. I especially liked the Amazing Grace arrangement. Gives me goose bumps. I gotta figure out how to get it played at church. Greg has done an admirable job with the arrangements, the playing, and the production values. Highly recommended!\nI knew this artist a lifetime ago and saw this CD as a way of getting reacquainted. I can’t say I am surprised about the skill displayed on the CD, but I am very impressed with the soul of this work. This is really good stuff!\nLayered music so deep you can fall in and never hit bottom. This CD is for people who dream. The music is constructed of many layers (slide, lap steel, acoustic, electric and dobro accompanied by solid bass and drums. Greg’s songs don’t come at you headlong, but they envelop the listener. His use of reverb and tremolo are a huge part of his skill as a composer and as a player he shows tasteful restraint throughout. His music to me is nothing short of authentic American music that is rich, melodic and deep, oh so deep.\nThe man’s a painter. Landscapes of of color and tone. Moved me like a gentle ocean. Not a busy guitarist who winds up breaking your last raw nerve. Lets you leave your nerves behind. Thanks, Greg.\nGreat CD! Some of the best guitar playing I’ve ever heard! Greg makes great music, period. Yes, it is a guitar-oriented CD, but that makes it all the more engaging. The way Greg weaves together electric, baritone, acoustic, and resonator guitars is nothing short of orchestral. I highly recommend this to all fans of good music. I look forward to Greg’s next project!\nOutstanding Album! What a great artist and album. The music on Tailgate Troubadour is soulful, inspiring and performed masterfully. I can hardly wait for the next album.\nA great talent with a solid grasp of guitar tone and emotion. With multi-layered guitar, mando and other instruments, Greg V. has recorded a great CD. Moods and emotion are reflected in his tasteful playing. The mark of a great musician is the ability to play the right notes at the right time (Larry Carlton and others have set a high standard) and this CD is an inspiration for other players and non-players alike who want to hear “just the right notes.”\nA masterpiece. One of the best albums I’ve bought in recent years. It touches my soul. It connects to me in a strange way…don’t know how. It’s got IT! Recommended to everybody who loves quality music.\nWhen I received this cd I played it over & over as I drove my truck. If your into dreamy layers of great guitar get this cd. It will be a favorite for years to come for me. This is guitar for the mind and soul. Can’t wait for the next cd !\nRobert Whitso – Scotland\nThis is just a stunning album that has to be ranked amongst the the best.\nTone, Tone, Tone. Great guitar tones!! Greg V. has it all Tone, Feeling, Taste and Talent. All songs on this CD are great. Every listen brings something new.\nDid you ever read reviews on sites like this and wonder whether you should take them all with a grain of salt? Well, Greg’s CD really *does* live up to the hype. Beautiful compositions, great arrangements, and awesome playing without flash or pretension. Just plain great instrumental guitar music… I’ve been listening to this CD daily since I got it, and I’m still as pleased as the first time I heard it. I’m recommending to all my friends, and even planning to buy a few more copies as gifts.\nThis artistic journey truly conveys Greg V’s emotions, in a musical pallet. It’s not hard to imagine “being there”, when you listen to each track. In ANY style music, I most appreciate when the artist is able to convey an emotion, through musical style, tones, chord selection, instrumental textures……this is truly a sensitive, deep listen…. …now, it’s not a “head-banger”, so move along, if that’s what you’re looking for. It’s a mellow, choice Friday evening steak dinner with the family, on a rainy fall drizzly day – that perfect blend of oak toasting in the fireplace and cool changing weather…..just sit back and enjoy the experience.\nEasily one of the best cd’s I’ve purchased! Great feel! Great tone! Can’t wait for Greg’s next cd!\nWhat an absolutely beautiful release! Superb recording/production values, gorgeous textures, wonderful writing, brilliant playing/tones by all musicians… There are many interesting twists & turns, a real depth of commitment/emotion/intention… Certainly transcends ‘guitar music’ to being something more cinematic/evocative. Truly musical and a remarkable achievement.\nA shimmering, rumbling trip across America. I found Greg V. on the Victoria Amp Co.’s website. He’d done some samples for some of the incredible guitar amplifiers they sell there. Those short little samples hooked me. This recording has a big, shimmery, atmospheric feel to it. Rather than a virtuoso guitarist merely showing off his chops, Greg V. is a songwriter, a painter with sound. Not a single, wasted, beautiful note here.\nVintage gear + Fresh creativity = An unparalleled must listen. Tailgate Troubador is a phenomenal mood piece, guitars painting music and creating evocative textures, all in an earthy and organic production that is sure to leave listeners marvelling at the ease with which this virtuoso spins his musical web.\nGreg weaves tapestries and paints sprawling landscapes with a rhythm section, his Telecaster, and some occasional tasty flatpicking and dobro. Far from ambient or background music, this collection of beautiful instrumental tracks has a strong underpinning of Americana, Roots Rock, or whatever you want to call it. Players will revel in the delicious menu of Tele tones. This is a great soundtrack for a drive through the desert or mountains, a long jog or bike ride, or maybe even just washing the dishes or painting the guest room! Play it any time, any place -you can’t not love this CD!\nIf you are a fan of the Telecaster….then this is a must for you! I am a huge fan of sounds and tones you get from a Telecaster, slide, Acoustic and Resonator guitars. This CD is filled with all of the above! All the tracks have great tones and the production quality is superb. A lot of these tracks, the first two imparticular, would fit nicely with the right singer and lyrics…..you can FEEL the spots where the singer should be coming in but of course this is just Greg and for me…that is they way I like it. A great addition to my music catalogue!\nGreat instrumental compact disc. Rock folk/country blend with great tone and textures. Highly recommended. Cohesive and highly listenable (unlike some instrumental efforts). Not a disappointing track on the cd. If you enjoy listening to fine guitar work you will enjoy this cd in all its electric, acoustic and dobro splendor.\nThis is inspiring work. Very refreshing, mood setting music. The guitar sounds are beautiful. I can listen to it for hours.\nWhat a pleasent surprise “Tailgate Troubadour” was to me, not only is it one of those releases that keeps getting better each time I listen to it, but it’s also a rare case of instrumental rock guitar music that never gets lost in flashy pyrotechniques and the dreaded “too many notes” syndrome. Greg V comes across as a very mature and seasoned composer and musician with a strong focus on cinematic soundscapes and textures. This CD is highly recommended!\nThis is a great collection of instrumental, organic, country-tinged, Americana rock. For guitar nuts, the tones are to die for. For the rest of us, it’s just good music. Great for those long drives!\nThis CD demonstrates how great an instrumental electric guitar album can be. Not in speed and flash, but in feel and intention behind each notes. And that’s what I’m craving for. Greg, with this CD, you made me grab my old Telecaster and I’m now hunting for a Bajosexto baritone guitar !\nI came across Greg’s playing from listening to samples from the Bogner web site. Greg has a very good feel and his tone is simply superb. I clicked on the link to his web site and listened to the samples he had there. I found myself getting sucked into Greg’s vaguely familiar yet unique country rock tracks. All of the tracks on the CD are listenable and the production and tones are some of the best I’ve heard which is saying a lot comming from a jazz purest. Nice work Greg! All the Best, Scott\nGrant Ferstat – Perth Australia\nFinally-An Intrumental Record With A Voice! I’m sure you all know the usual story. Sideman to the stars produces own CD which inevitably turns out to be a tasteless showcase of prodigious technique totally devoid of any singular personality or memorable tunes? Not so this time folks! With Tailgate Troubadour Greg V has produced a warm and tasteful effort where his strong instrumental chops stay subservient to some wonderful melodic compositions. A diverse range of instruments including Mando and Baritone guitars, Dobro (all expertly and adroitly played by Greg) add texture alongside fat, raw & fiery Telecaster licks. The best thing about Tailgate Troubadour is that despite the fact that there’s no vocals on this recording, I swear I hear a voice. It’s the voice of someone who transcends being a “player” and demonstrates that he is an artist.\nTone, tone, tone… Learned about Greg V from the Bogner Amplification website, where his clips were absolutely steller. Waited for his album to come out, listened to some mp3′s from his site, finally got the album. Honestly, I’m usually not much for a purely instrumental album, having been promised music but given Muzak instead, but any fan of 6-string driven music is in for a real treat with this one. Obviously a labor of love and devotion, the playing is never flashy or pretenious. Haunting, swampy, melancholy, sublime…you get the picture. Its great driving music, great sonic landscapes dripping with Americana and rootsy rock tones. Tone to die for, for all guitar guys. Let me say that again–tone to die for. Greg, I want to see you hook up with a singer/songwriter worthy of your instrumental talents, and give this world the great big dose of musical beauty it needs. I’ll give this one five well-earned stars…you get a singer/songwriter collaboration that gels, that will give you a Grammy on the wall. Not a joke, either, keep playing. People out here in the Wastelands and Badlands of this country (metaphorically speaking, as I live that perplexing state of California!) appreciate and are groovin’ to what you’re doing.\nI read about Greg in a Vintage Guitar magazine, and then found him on another site with some amp demos. Broke down and purchased Tailgate Troubadour, and have been relaxing with Greg and his tone on a regular basis. Super clean and melodic, treat your ears and soul to the vibes.\nVassili Voukotitch – France\nGreat tone for a fantastic soul trip. It’s just one of the bests instrumental albums I’ve heard. I like this sounds with “the” tone of Telecaster, and also Dobro one. Roots, no shred, only the good note at the good moment. You like those tones, you wanna dream…buy it.\nMusic to stir the soul. Greg V. can play just about anything with strings, particulary the Telecaster. The tunes offer a little bit of everything from bluegrass to county to blues. The picking takes precedence over the effects and the tunes are all pretty. Well worth a listen.\nKatie Williams – Honolulu HI\nHighly recommended, relaxing CD. Buy it now!!\nGreat guitar work, this CD will take your mind beautiful places!!\nI first heard Greg V’s playing on the Bogner Amplification webpage…that led me here to CD Baby. I put off ordering and now regret not getting Tailgate Troubador sooner! If you are a fan of tasteful, toneful guitar instrumentals (not shred!) or just looking for some excellent road tunes, this is the recording for you.\nI love this CD. Perfect for a drive or just bing in te mood to LISTEN to music. Greg V has so many cool sounds bouncing around in these great tunes that it makes for a sweet sonic experience.\nGreat CD! Definitely one of those discs you can enjoy while driving or just relaxing. Greg V is an awesome player with incredible tone and a very tasteful musician. Buy it now!\nUtterly musical and cinematic in scope, Greg V’s Tailgate Troubadour CD is a thematic soundtrack that reveals something new and undiscovered with each repeat listen. “Troubadour” has the rare ability to be both completely immersive or simply a beautiful backing soundtrack to your life of the moment. A talented, soulful musician who has a great understanding of timbre, texture and space, Greg V never plays mere licks – but only that which is meaningful to the music. Wonderful, engaging, and highly recommended.\nA must for guitar music lovers! A player who knows how to hold back and milk his notes. A master in creating tension to the edge of climaxing…he’ll leave you wanting more. Great use of effects and dynamics. An artist who understands the tone and voice of his instruments. Greg’s compositons paint pictures and take you on a journey. Great CD for your car; it’ll help take your mind off traffic.\nA great first edition, Dare we hope for more? I actually know Greg V personally. We go back to 1978. He was 16 years old then and could already play most people under the table. I was really blown away by the “resume” he presented and even more so by the CD when I got it.\nBrian Oaks/The Madison House Studios\nGreat playing and great vibe. Greg just has the cool factor that few players can get. The parts are well thought out and the sounds have this great color. This is a must have CD for guitar players looking for playing and sound inspiration.\nI recently took a road trip from LA up through the redwoods – into Oregon and Idaho then into Wyoming and Yelowstone National Park – Greg’s Cd brings back memories of that trip – memories of grand vistas and America’s scenic countryside. Tailgate Troubadour is not about a guitarist showing off his chops – It’s about a skilled songwriter who is able to take you on a sonic journey. It is a journey that I highly recommend you take…\nRemarkable & Rewarding. The best music takes you on a journey and when the journey ends there should be a sense of arrival. Tailgate Troubadour transcends the listener to a place beyond guitar chops and hot licks, and even though there are plenty of lush and gorgeous guitar tones, there is a visual beauty to the songs that is positively haunting. Maybe it just suits my state of mind right now but I think this record is the perfect soundtrack for anybody soul searching for their Authentic-Self. Incredible music.\nAndy Sidari – Australian TV composer\nMy copy arrived today and I have had 2 listens back to back. This is some deep stuff, man. I think it’s a real creeper. Layered and textured by a master at the top of his game. On a whole though, the album weaves through a fantastic soundscape and an everchanging panarama that would blister the fingers of most men. Man…\nJohn Chandler – PedalTrain Pedalboards\nI really enjoy the tasetful and refreshing mix of acoustic and electric colors within the framework of these ear friendly grooves. This disc wins the 3-T award for Tasty, Texture and Tone!”\nEd DeGenaro – THD Electronics, Ltd.\nDUDE!!!!!! That cd of yours is awesome. This is what 21st century Roy Buchanan would sound like.\nMike MacLane – Brainyard\nThe cd is fantastic. I love the melodies, and your tones…oh those tones. There are a number of things that really shine for me. The songs are there…clearly these aren’t tunes to just show off your chops, you wrote songs! I love how you let different instruments carry the melody. Most instrumental tunes feature a guitarist with a particular style or tone, and the lead line is carried by that tone/instrument. But on your project the melody starts on slide acoustic, moves to lap-steel with wah, over to a trem electric. VERY REFRESHING! I love the natural quality of the recording. I’ve only listen to this on my computer, and it sounds amazing. I can’t wait to fire it up at home. Once again, congratulations! When’s the first gig?\nStunningly good. Period. Stunning is the only word I can think of to describe this CD. Greg V.’s music transports you to a “moment” by creating a lush atmosphere of layered guitars and beautiful heartfelt melodies that are, at times, breathtaking. Greg V. changed the way I think about the instrument, and music, in general – something that hasn’t happened in the last 15 years. Don’t look here for flashy, egocentric guitar solos (although there is some VERY skilled playing). This is MUSIC…pure, simple, and flawlessy executed with tasty playing, and awesome, varied guitar tones. My best music purchase in many years!\nMike Pope – MixCritique.com\nSliding Greg V’s new CD in the player is like taking ten years off your age – the stress and worry melts away as you climb in a vintage convertible and hit the road with Greg behind the wheel. Artful melodies draw concise audio pictures that change afresh at each turn. Mr. V. is quite adept in his playing, and is not limited to standard guitar fare; with Dobro, Lap Steel, Baritone and Mando-guitars joining in amidst his various Telecasters and Gretsches. Two personal favorites “Bend the Dusty Road” and title track “Tailgate Troubadour” are standouts, and Greg’s take on “Amazing Grace” is a must hear. Whether you’re an Americana aficionado or not, I recommend you check out this stellar release from a talented guitarist who has graced the tracks (and stages), of artists like Double Trouble, Buddy Miles, Colin Hay, Melissa Etheridge and Ronnie Montrose. You won’t be disappointed, more likely – you’ll be hooked!\nThis Cd is really a thing of beauty. It takes you places. The guitar playing is stellar throughout and Greg’s ability to layer melodies and counter melodies using different textures and tones as well as different instruments is amazing. He has crafted one of the most enjoyable cds I have purchased in years. The writing and playing is soulful and brilliant, never self indulgent ,always interesting. Great, great record.\nDan Mullins – Akai DPS24 Forum Webmaster\nGreg, I’ve been listening to the cd all last night. This body of work is amazing. Your performances are just fantastic, as is the bass player and drummer. Each track is a musical delight, with arrangements that keep the ears happily following along from start to finish. I lost track of time as this cd swallowed me up! Great job, and best of luck!\nBob Kilgore – guitarist\nGreg, I’ve listened about four times now and this CD is a great ride! Wonderful playing and production and the tunes maintain a high standard throughout. On my first listen through, I kept thinking that your “unique voice” as a guitarist is probably realized more in how you blend different guitar sounds and textures together than in any individual sound or playing technique. The accumulative effect is really tremendous. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone do it so well. Any guitarist, from Rock to Country persuasion, could learn a great deal listening to this CD. If I had to pick a favorite track, it would have to be #9, “6 Strings 7 Lonely Nights”. (Do I hear a touch of Steve Morse influence in there?) Also, your rendition of Amazing Grace is the “definitive” version in my book. This is one I’ll listen to over and over.\nJoyce Thompson – Marina, CA\nTailgate Troubadour lifts up your feet and takes you away to far away places. Listening to Greg’s music makes you want to close your eyes and break free from the ordinary. His artistic musical talent radiates through . . . simplicity at its best. All the songs are well crafted and refined. A very gifted guitarist . . . and proud owner of Tailgate Troubadour.\nRob Grace – songwriter guitarist Shadows of Light\nGreg’s CD is so fresh yet accessible and feels very organic and familiar. There is an underlying emotional energy harnessed within the balance of tones and textures that invokes a deep soulful stirring a calling just begging to be provoked. It is easy to get lost in the mood and innuendo that Greg conveys here through his sensual use of musical nuance in musicianship and style. Its sounds so simple, yet it sounds so complex. An excellent balance to deliver on his first solo release. Greg’s skill and command of the guitar and the variation it can invoke is a true testament to the instrument and his understanding of its capabilities. This is one of those guitar CDs that doesn’t sound like a Guitar CD. It is a conversation of expression. Wonderful stuff. Just wonderful!\nScott – Livermore, CA\nI wanted to wait, to come up with something brilliant here, and the longer I wait, the more reviews show up that essentially use the words that I would have used: swampy, moving, layers & textures, introspective, beautiful, inspiring, vintage sounding instruments, etc. So without worrying about being eloquent or succinct (too late for that!), I will share this…Usually I pick a CD to match a mood. Tailgate Troubadour creates my moods for me. I become a willing passenger on a guitar style tour of the U.S. through time where I experience a range of pleasurable emotions brought on by aurally visualizing different guitar based instruments and styles as might have been witnessed on a pick up drive through time and geography. Definitely one of the most beautiful, accessible and “fits all occasions” listening pieces… in my collection.\nKnut Solvang – Norway\nWhat a soulful journey, Tailgate Troubadour have been spinning both at home and in my car since i got it 5 days ago. It’s such a great Cd and it grows on me each time I listen to it. Just kick back and let Greg take you on a journey through great soulful songs, which really takes you places just like a great movie does. Truly awesome playing and beautiful tones throughout.\nMichael Lee Shirey – Florida\nA guitar players ‘primer’ for inspiration! Richard Thompson, Ry Cooder and Eric Clapton cloned together would sound like they made this record. Greg V. reinvents the ‘guitar’ album with incredible technique and a spiritual center that spellbinds . An absolute must for all us music refugees . This album will mesmerize, tranquilize and anethetize you! I’ve got my ticket and I’m ready to go!\nLots of emotion on this CD. Each track creates a vibe and has atmosphere and space. Great recording quality which makes you feel like you are right in the studio (especially on Valley Voices, which incidentally may also make you feel like you’ve been magically transported to a mysterious Arabian paradise) No shredding, just tasteful melodies and beautiful arrangements where the focus is on the song. I also enjoy the variety of old school guitar tones weaving in and out of each song. Lovely CD.\nTailgate Troubadour is dripping with vibe, feel and magic. This is a cd that uses great guitar playing to create moods and convey emotion and not as an end to itself, which makes it a rare treat. The counter melodies, layering of instruments and use of different tones and effects, combined with absolutely stellar playing, make this one of the finest instrumental discs I have heard. Not just for guitar players.\nGerald – Tucson\nI kept hearing cool sound clips recorded by this cat named Greg V. for some websites of high end amplifiers on the internet… And now I own a CD by this absolutely talented guitarist. My favorite is the tune called Bend the Dusty Road. I would listen to this whole CD all day, every day if it were feasible. This cat is one talented musician and what a great effort he put into Tailgate Troubadour. I can’t wait for the next recording from Greg V.\nA moody, atmospheric masterpiece. For me, this is the perfect CD for when it’s 40 degrees out and grey, and I have a chunk of uninterrupted time to take the journey this CD provides. Greg V. has chops that match anyone’s, but this is not a “look how many notes I can play” type of deal. Everything is done to serve the song. Everyone who appreciates tasteful guitar and masterful songwriting should own this CD.\nThis Guy Is The Real Thing. What a great CD! Well constructed songs and a heartfelt performance by one of my new favorite artists!\nFantastic. This CD kept me listening from begining to end and over again! I have placed this CD at the top of my cd stack. It is the first one I reach for.\nMike Roberto – ToneGurus\nAwesomely balanced mix of tones from Americana! I’ve had Tailgate Troubador for over 2 months now. I urgently ordered it when I heard it was released, and boy am I glad I did! Greg V. can shred with the best of them, but chose instead to meticulously assemble this soundscape of incredible tones and melodies from the “heart”land, while never sacrificing taste for guitar gymnastics. And his playing? Is “perfect” overstating it? Buy the CD and judge for yourself. As for me, I’m getting in line for his next release….\nChris Sonnenberg – Virginia\nThis is a brilliant CD, and an amazing debut album. There’s plenty of flat-out killer guitar playing on here, from Teles and other guitars to acoustics, dobro, baritone, lap steel and mando guitar. But what really sets Greg’s work apart is his compositions, his taste, his textures and the depth of the emotions he’s able to convey. These are BIG tracks, in the sense of being very cinematic. They’re whole and complete musical landscapes – vast, broad, expansive soundscapes – not catchy pop-type tunes, or shred exercises. Each one tells a rich and well-defined story within itself, yet there’s not a vocal track to be found. In that sense, he reminds of me of one of my heros, Ry Cooder, in his ability to paint such vivid and moving musical pictures. You’ll also find a current of Americana not unlike Bill Frisell. And guitar-centric writing worthy of Mike Post. This is COOL STUFF! And oh, yeah – Greg is a tonemeister. I’d kill to get some of the sounds he coaxes out of his guitars and amps. They sing, they soar, they whisper, they cry. Again, brilliant. I don’t imagine it will be too long before we’ll be hearing some of this music in the soundtrack of a motion picture, or on a show from one of the hipper TV networks. Some smart Hollywood producer is going to jump all over this material. Remember, you read it here first. Anyway, check it out. Highly recommended.\nMike Pacheco – KWYK Radio\nThis CD has some of the most tasty guitar playing I’ve heard in a long time. I have been a music director for KWYK for the last 15 years and have heard tons of guitar records that have come my way in all flavors. When I first spun Gregs CD, it just blew me away. My first listen told me that Greg has some pure tone going on with some lucious melodys and layered guitar parts that just add depth and adventure to every track on the CD. I couldnt wait to turn my listeners on to this CD. Being a player myself, this CD made me want to go out and buy a Tele!. This is the guitar CD of the year!\nGreg V.’s CD is a beautiful exploration of Americana music. His playing is superb, and it’s all in service to some incredible tunes. The emotional connection from this album is stunning – there’s a wistfulness about it that makes it hard to turn it off or get it out of the CD changer. I’m a huge fan and can’t wait for him to put together his next one!\nI happened across this cd without a thought or an expectation only to find one of the most inspiring albums I’ve heard in years. This is the real deal, full of heart and soul in addition to masterful technique. Greg V’s album shines throughout with beauty, musicality, tone and intensity. How lucky I was to find this gem!\nI had high expectations for this CD because I know what Greg is capable of, but Greg went above and beyond what I expected. The disk is a gem in all respects, beginning with the playing and textured tones to the mixing and mastering, and finally the artistic professionalism of the CD design.\nAwesome, Greg has outshined himself…again…Tailgate Troubadour is a totally awesome CD. The blending of the various instruments only proves that Greg is a serious professional artist that puts his soul into everything he does. My favorite…Amazing Grace.. Congratulations Greg!!\nGreat sittin’ round, laid back, instrumental music……\nYa know while a cd of instrumentals isn’t always for everyone, especially the “pop music crowd”, this is an excellent cd for musicians, and REAL music lovers. Greg V’s guitar work is amazing, but its not “guitar hero” stuff, its more ambient music, with lots of textures and layers. Great stuff here.\nBello! Suonato ottimamente, registrato bene, suona bene insomma. Lui è un gran chitarrista, con un ottimo gusto, che sà creare atmosfere veramente evocative. Consiglio a tutti.\nGreat guitar work. Great production. These songs are deep and varied. I had this CD on constant rotation for the better part of a month after I got it. I heard about him after visiting Tone Quest online. I gave it a five star rating.\nJoshua H. Gordis\nDeep feeling, tone for days, authenticity and first-class musicianship. I love this record.\nThis was one of my first CD’s from CDBaby, and with good reason. I discovered his web site quite by accident and am so very glad that I did. His music is absolutely outstanding. Their is a little bit of every guitar sound, with exception of really heavy metal tone, along with brilliant music writing, and superfluous production. I’m not exaggerating when I say that you could put this in your player on eternal repeat, and not get bored with it, or have the sounds become tiresome to your ears. This is real quality in music, and I hope that someday, Greg V. would record another one. I would snap it up in a second to add to my collection!!!", "domain": "hobby"}

See, being 90lbs is not exactly fun, especially in my family where it’s almost mandatory that my grandparents be perpetually worried about how much I eat. The average morning when I encounter my paternal grandfather goes a little like this:\nTori: “Good morning!”\nGrandfather: “DID YOU EAT BREAKFAST YET WHAT DID YOU EAT”\nHe has literally offered to pay me to hit 100lbs. I think it’s a Caribbean thing; I’ve noticed we’re not really a part of the skinny-fad that grips pop culture elsewhere. We even have a derogatory word for skinny people in the local parlance: magga.\nAnyway, I came off a bad breakup and decided I wanted to improve my self image, so I decided to start working out. Naturally, the first thing I did was P90X,\nwhich probably was about the worst thing I could have done to gain weight (I actually started at 80lbs!). I saw some changes in my cardiovascular fitness, then I did to Body Beast, a weightlifting programme from the same company. It was a good start, and I gained 10lbs.\nWhat struck me though, was that I was really damn weak.\nI did more research and figured barbell training to be the best thing for me; I somehow managed to get a barbell, and started New Rules of Lifting for Women. The bar I got wasn’t an Olympic one; it’s about 20lbs and I *still* had trouble hoisting it around at the start of the programme. I believe I got through maybe four phases or so of NROLFW before I realised I wasn’t making much progress.\nThen came Stronglifts 5×5 and my love for powerlifting-type routines.\nI took my squat from a measly 50lbs to 135lbs in a couple months, and I realised then what I’d really been missing. The scale didn’t matter much any more, the numbers did. I wanted to be stronger. I started keeping track of progress with measurements and tracking the weight lifted instead, and I saw I was making progress, despite remaining practically the same weight.\nThe next issue was my puny upper body strength, which seemed at this point to be the bane of my existence (and still is). Stronglifts was able to bring up my squat and deadlift, but my overhead press and bench press were the first to stall, and they did at some pretty pathetic weights. Pound-for-pound, it’s not bad but I kept thinking, if I can squat 1.5x my weight, why the hell is my bench barely half of it?!\nI stalled and I stalled and I stalled, so I decided I should move on to an intermediate programme after about six months, and here I am.\nThe current plan:\nI took a gander at Westside for Skinny Bastards, Wendler 5/3/1, the Texas Method and Layne Norton’s PHAT first. My sister had some results with the Body Sculpting Bible and was now doing Strong Curves, but after reading them, I wasn’t convinced those were going to fit my obsession with lifting a tonne of weight and also getting some aesthetic benefits, plus the big lifts weren’t as incorporated as I’d like them to be. (Though, as you’ll see, I will incorporate Contreras’ barbell hip thrusts into my lower body days).\nWendler seemed like a good fit, but I was pretty curious about PHAT; I did some more digging and I decided on doing it, alternating the Lower Body Power/Hypertrophy days with squats and deadlifts. (Layne Norton is a natural bodybuilder, and holds powerlifting records, hence I realised he was more in line with my goals than anyone else.)\nNow, PHAT is a 5 day on, 2 day off programme and that’ll be hard to adjust to after months and months of 3-day/week training, so I expect my first week or so will be hell. I also haven’t been able to get into my gym often with university taking up so much of my time; so I’m stuck with my home weights until I join my uni’s gym next week (which means I’ll only have 110lbs to work with.)\nMeal Planning FTW:\nMy current calorie goal per day is about 2200 kcals, and slightly less on training days. My macros are:\nProtein: 110g (going by the 1.2g per lb of bodyweight calculation)\nWhich roughly translates to about 60/20/20.\nI’ve been taking Isogainer by Nutrabolics simply because it has 60g of protein and only 3 reasonably sized scoops per serving (Have you ever seen the Serious Mass scoop?! It’s ridiculous!). Granted, it tastes like shit, but I add enough unsweetened cocoa powder to hide the overly-sweet-artificial-vanilla taste that makes me gag.\nI’ve also decided to load up on creatine again (I’m taking the creatine monohydrate by Optimum Nutrition) and I take Cellucor C4 Extreme whenever I think I need an extra boost. I’m toying with the idea of a pump-enhancer, but I’ve never really looked into their efficacy (I’ve heard NO3 Chrome is good, but I’m going to research it a bit and maybe see if I can get a couple pill packs before I commit to buying a bottle).\nThe current and most pressing issue is getting enough to eat all day; university is annoying and I have to start prepping more seriously or I pretty much don’t eat.

I’m already pretty lean (the one perk of being a hardgainer), so I’m not really watching what I eat per se; I don’t eat a lot of fast food anyway, but I freakin’ love my pasta.\nI was probably Italian in a past life\nAnyway, that sort of wraps up this long post.

You can play classic games from the NES, SNES, Genesis , Gameboy and Gameboy Advance systems. I have put together a guide on how to access and play these classics on your Xbox One that you can check out below:\n- You will want Google for ROMs that you can download. I have posted a link here to help you get started. Please note that ROMs are often a grey area between illegal and legal so we have chosen not to directly link to any. Please try to support the developer and only download the ROM if you own the game. The following ROM formats are the only ones supported: .nes .smc .sfc .gen .smd .mb .bin .gba .gbc .gb;\n- Unzip any of the ROMs that you downloaded because the emulator does not support zip files.\n- Once unzipped, go to the following link: https://onedrive.live.com/ and login with your Xbox account because your Xbox account also comes with a OneDrive account.\n- Upload any of the downloaded ROMs to OneDrive\n- Now turn on your Xbox One and open up the Edge browser (AKA Internet) by going to “My Games & Apps” then to Apps and then select “Microsoft Edge”.\n- Once the Microsoft Edge app has launched, press the “Change View” button on the Xbox One controller (looks like a box overlapping another box). This will show the address bar.\n- Once the address bar is open, go to the following link: https://nesbox.itch.io/x1 I recommending setting it to your homepage so whenever you open up Microsoft Edge it goes straight to it.\n- Once the webpage has loaded, it should look similar to this unless the UI changes in a future update. Click on the screen and then press A button to start. This should open up OneDrive and allow you to grant access to your OneDrive account so that NESBox will be able to add the ROMs and save your games. Once you have completed this step, and clicked on the screen, it should enable full screen.\n- Once you have completed the previous step, the UI should look similar to this, unless it changes in a future update. (An updated picture will be added for version 4 soon).\n- Select “Add Rom From OneDrive” with your controller.\n- Once you have granted access, choose which ROM you would like to add.\n- Once the ROM is loaded, it should auto-direct back to the emulator and show up in the ROMs library.\n- Once loaded, click on the ROM that you would like to play.\n- If you would like to custom map the buttons on your controller, then select “Setup Gamepad”\n- You can select what buttons you would like to represent the controls from here.\n- If you run into an error, just refresh the page.\n- Use (A) to select item in menu and (B) to go back.\n- Press START+SELECT to show game menu (save/load/reset).\n- Select MENU > USE BROWSING CONTROLS to show browser cursor.\nCurrent features of the NESBox:\n- supports NES, SNES, GENESIS, GAMEBOY and ADVANCE systems: .nes .smc .sfc .gen .smd .mb .bin .gba .gbc .gb;\n- save/load game state;\n- local multiplayer (two controllers);\n- import roms from OneDrive;\n- local roms library;\n- Gamepad buttons mapping\n- save game state to OneDrive;\nThis guide is current as of December 16th, 2016. If the emulator is updated, we will update this guide.\nUpcoming Features in future updates:\nQ: Where does the emulator save the game in OneDrive?\nA: The game states data is stored in ‘.nesbox’ folder on OneDrive now.\nKnown Issues With Emulator:\nQ: Why does my game library may disappear after closing browser?\nA: This is because the Edge browser clears local storage when closed. A fix is currently in the works.\nQ: A ROM shows up under my OneDrive but it’s not listed on the emulator to upload?\nA: The extension of the ROM on the OneDrive should be in lower case. Try to rename .Gen to .gen for a work-around. A fix is currently in the works.\nQ: I have a thousand ROMs but only the ROMs listed from A to D show up, where are the rest?\nA: Please try to use separate folders as a workaround as the emulator can only see so many at a time.\nQ: My save is gone, where did it go?\nA: Your save is only lost if you clear browser cache. OneDrive save support has been added in V4. The game states data is stored in ‘.nesbox’ folder on OneDrive now.", "domain": "hobby"}

Nestled amidst the bustling city, this architectural marvel serves as a shrine to automotive excellence, showcasing some of BMW’s most iconic vehicles and innovations.\nAs I stepped through the museum’s doors, I was immediately struck by the sense of history and innovation that permeated the air. From sleek sports cars to powerful sedans, the exhibits spanned the entire spectrum of BMW’s illustrious history.\nOf course, being the enthusiast that I am, I made a beeline for the M sector – a veritable playground for lovers of high-performance automobiles. And let me tell you, I was not disappointed. The sight of the unique M Roadster and CSL models sent shivers down my spine, their sleek lines and powerful engines a testament to BMW’s engineering prowess.\nBut as impressive as the M sector was, it was a different exhibit that truly captured my attention and imagination – a set of BMW 3-series, spanning three generations and looking as pristine as the day they rolled off the production line.\nNow, you might be wondering, what’s so special about a collection of 3-series cars? Well, for one, seeing three generations of this iconic model side by side was a rare treat in itself. But what truly captivated me was the immaculate condition of these vehicles. It was as if time had stood still, preserving these cars in a state of eternal youth.\nAs I admired each car in turn, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia wash over me. The BMW 3-series holds a special place in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts worldwide, revered for its blend of performance, comfort, and timeless design. Seeing these examples looking as new brought back memories of days gone by, evoking a sense of longing for simpler times.\nIn a world where cars come and go with the blink of an eye, encountering such well-preserved examples was a rare and precious experience. It was like taking a trip back in time, revisiting a bygone era of automotive excellence and craftsmanship.\nAs I reluctantly tore myself away from the exhibit, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the opportunity to witness such automotive history firsthand. The BMW Museum had left an indelible mark on me, reminding me of the rich tapestry of stories and experiences woven into every car that graces its hallowed halls.\nAnd as I made my way back out into the bustling streets of Munich, I carried with me not just memories, but a newfound appreciation for the legacy of BMW and the enduring allure of the BMW 3-series.", "domain": "hobby"}

There are so many complexities to creating sound and singing that I didn't know and she has these amazing techniques that make it simple to digest and fun to approach. I've laughed so hard and enjoyed every single minute of working with her. Margaret has an amazing capacity to get the very best out of everyone she works with and have fun while you're doing it. The transformation I've witnessed in myself and with the people I've seen her work with is just incredible. We are just so lucky to have her here in Queenstown and I feel truly honoured to have worked with her and will be eternally grateful for the confidence she has given me and the voice she has helped me discover.\n- Claire Stewart (Beginners Course)\nMargaret O'Hanlon studied at the Laguardia School of the Arts where she majored in Voice and received a Diploma in Music. From there she received a BA/LA at SUNY Purchase. Before moving to NZ Margaret performed her own penned Cabaret shows in NY's Greenwich Village.\nAfter moving to NZ, Margaret began teaching privately and working as Musical Director and Choir Director for local Musical Theatre companies and Community groups. As her student numbers grew, Margaret started running her Beginners Singing Classes. From there her classes expanded to include the Continuing Singing classes, Harmony and Performance. In 2022 Margaret launched her Singing Academy for young singers.\nMargaret's method is based around the natural ability to sing.

The mountain stands tall and proud amidst a sea of vineyards and orchards, with a light mist and fog overlaying some of the fields, creating a mystical and ethereal ambiance. The foreground is awash with a sea of fall colors, with leaves of golden yellows, rich oranges, and deep reds creating a stunning contrast against the muted tones of the mist.\nThe blue sky above is a striking contrast to the warm hues of the sunrise that cast a golden light on the mountain and surrounding landscape, creating a stunning play of light and shadow. The photograph captures the natural beauty of the Oregon landscape, showcasing the majesty of Mount Hood and the stunning fall colors that abound in the region. The image is a testament to the power of nature and a reminder of the breathtaking beauty that can be found in the world around us.\nThe Story Behind the Photograph.\nI got up at 3 o'clock in the morning for this photograph. I had found a great spot in vineyards and orchards around Mt Hood and so I drove from Portland on Highway I84 to US35, to that spot. It was very cold, about 25 degrees out and I was glad I had dressed warmly. When I reached the location, I began to setting up the drone. After a preflight check, I took off and put the drone up to the 400 foot maximum and started looking for the right spot based on my location and the location of the sun. A drone gives me the ability to reposition the location from which I take the actual photograph and this added flexibility often gives me whole new ideas and perspectives. With all the mist in the air, the cold temperatures, and the way the sun was hitting the mist, it created a magical look to everything. I waited a while for the sun to get to the angle you see in the photograph and when everything looked just right, I took four photographs left to right across the horizon. This image is a panorama made up of three of those four separate photographs, taken a fraction of a second apart, and then are stitched together. Back at home I processed each separate photograph and then combined them into this final result. I hope you enjoy this magical moment in time with the orchards, vineyards, the sun and Mt Hood!\nThis stunning photograph captures the essence of autumn in North Central Washington. The image showcases amazing clouds and trees in full fall colors, with white water rapids extending into the distance on the Icicle River. Brooding clouds add a sense of drama to the scene, but the sun cutting through them creates a spotlight effect, highlighting the river, hillside, and fall colors. The colors of autumn are on full display, with hues of gold, orange, and red creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. This photograph is a perfect representation of the beauty and splendor of fall in the Pacific Northwest.", "domain": "hobby"}

Having never heard of encaustic painting, we had no idea what to expect. She gave us a great introduction to the art, and we were able to try multiple different techniques over the course of the workshop.\nWe learned encaustic painting is an ancient art technique that uses a mixture of clear wax and resin, layered with paint and texture to create a unique art piece. A heat source is used to fuse wax to wood, and with each layer, the painting comes to life. Each piece of ours was completely different from the next. Encaustic painting can be done free form, but Leah also showed us how to do a few photo transfers, which turned out to be absolutely stunning, even for newbies like us.\nEverything you could ask for from an art excursion in Joseph.

Everyone always wants to know about the mud pits. They want to know how it felt to search through the dark for a hidden location and then climb down into a muddy hole in the earth, the size and shape of a grave, and go to sleep for the night. Patience. First I had to dig it.\nThe first step was to find a good location. One of my teammates picked a spot surrounded by fallen trees. My first thought when I saw it was, “that’s the perfect place to hide a scout pit.” My second thought was, “wait, if that was my first thought, it’d be the first thought of someone searching for it.” I then realized that I had to dig my secret den of sleeping in plain sight. That was, until I realized that I’d thought of that idea second, and so would someone hunting me. In fact, maybe someone looking for me would be so sure I’d never fall for hiding my pit in the obvious place that the obvious place was exactly where I should dig. Soon this lead to the inevitable game of, “clearly I cannot chose the glass in front of me.” At last I split the difference by finding a spot in a fairly open clearing with enough saplings protruding from the ground that there was just barely enough room for a person to fit between them. More importantly, it would be hard to imagine that someone could fit between them.\nI started by carefully clearing away and saving the top layer of decaying leaves and twigs. They were going to be the camouflage I would use to rebuild the forest floor as it was. Then I started enthusiastically carving out the dirt beneath with my small shovel. I had known we’d be traveling some distance to the site of our hidden camps and so I opted for a collapsing german army shovel. I think it cost me about $25 at a military surplus shop. The little green tri-folding tool took some serious abuse without complaint. One edge was serrated, which was perfect for cutting through the tough layers of roots near the surface. The front came to a point, and I could use that to hack at the thick clay to loosen it up before shoveling it out. Unfortunately, despite all of it’s great features, the shovel could not escape its tiny size.\nAfter six hours of furious digging, pauses to pant and stare blankly at the ground, mad, aimless stabbing at dirt, ceaseless sweating in the rain, and general psychological mayhem as I forced myself time and again to keep digging, I still wasn’t done. I just couldn’t move enough earth with that tiny shovel. It didn’t help that I’d also come across a number of massive rocks. I’d had to use a whole slew of levering and digging and tugging tactics before I could heave them out, their resistance stubborn and unrelenting until the last. It was like trying to get my housemate Dhruv Bansal out of bed for a morning game of squash. Actually, in both cases pouring water on them helped to some extent. So did yelling.\nGraham emerges from one of our scout pits\nThe class had to continue, so in the end we compromised. Our team of four joined forces the next morning to finish two scout pits and we rotated nights sleeping in them. I was really disappointed in myself for not having been able to finish one completely solo, but the massive blisters on my thumbs and palms (in rock climbing we call them “bloody flappers” when they reach that point) were enough badges of honor to justify moving on to the next challenge.\nAs it turns out, the scout pits were really comfortable. The walls weren’t wet and muddy, but solid and cool to the touch. The thick layer of dirt on top was enough to stop water from getting in and acted as insulation. There was plenty of room and maybe it was because I live with six housemates already, but the guests didn’t bother me. There were only a couple of large spiders, crickets, and beetles that decided to wander through my crude door to join me and none of them had any intention of harming me. I actually enjoyed having them around. It made everything feel more authentic somehow.\nIn the morning I climbed up out into the early morning light, the dewey ground and the smell of the damp leaves all around me, feeling very woven into the woods. I felt refreshed and exhilarated. I wasn’t a stranger wrapped in plastic, I was alive and a part of it all.", "domain": "hobby"}

With the coronavirus pandemic shifting a lot of gambling from land-based to online casinos, there's no better time to pick up some new strategies for improving your winning odds. In this article, we'll focus on some strategical and psychological pointers you can use to find success at online casinos. If you want to take your online gambling to the next level, be sure to utilize these tips!\nOnline Gambling Strategies and Planning - Know The RTPs\nPerhaps the simplest and most effective way to get smarter with your bets is to know the RTPs of the games you're playing. RTP, or Return to Player, is the percentage of your wagers that you can expect to be won back from playing a certain casino game. As an example, if a slot machine game had an RTP of 90%, you could expect to win back 90 cents for every dollar you wager. RTP is most commonly attached to slot machine games, but you can calculate the RTP of any casino game. For example, experts generally agree that Blackjack has the highest RTP among classic casino table games at above 99% with perfect play.\nWith this knowledge, it becomes clear why RTP is important. If what you're concerned with is your overall chances of winning your bets back and potentially profiting, starting off with high RTP games is not a bad strategy. A couple titles that are consistently brought up as having sky high RTPs of 99% are Mega Joker by NetEnt and Ugga Bugga by Playtech. You can take advantage of RTP especially at the top online real money casinos, where popular slot machine titles should have their RTPs documented by the software provider. However, even if this information is not directly provided by the casino, a quick Google search should do the trick.\nNow of course, RTP isn't everything. Just because a slot machine has a high RTP doesn't automatically mean you will win more--in fact, certain machines with low RTPs may be attractive due to potentially higher jackpots. Ultimately, it's a balancing act of risk versus reward. But regardless, knowing the RTPs of the games you're playing is a must to make smarter wagers. It may be good to do some research to avoid some of the low RTP games offered at your casino.\nLearn How to Master Blackjack\nRemember in the previous section when we talked about Blackjack having a high theoretical RTP? We don't want to force you to play any particular game - after all, playing in online casinos is all about your personal entertainment. However, if you were going purely off statistical probability, you would find that your best chances of emerging from the casino profitable is to ditch most slot machines (unless you can use free spin bonuses) and simply play at the live blackjack tables. This is an effective strategy especially for beginners looking for a good first casino game to learn.\nDepending on the variant of blackjack, the theoretical RTP can hit 99.50% or higher. Of course, this depends on having a bulletproof blackjack strategy where there is a predetermined optimal strategy for any player and dealer hand combination. Countless studies were dedicated to understanding the best play in each scenario that would lead to the highest chances of winning. For example, some common advice will tell you always split aces and never split tens. Another strategy when you have 12 through 16 is to always stand against a dealer hand containing 2 through 6, and always hit otherwise. Commiting these strategies to memory will definitely give you a leg up at online blackjack tables.\nConsider Online Strategies for Gambling like the Martingale\nOne of the simplest and near fool-proof casino betting strategies out there is the Martingale strategy. Done correctly, the Martingale strategy will always return a profit. The idea behind it is simple: start with an initial bet, and every time you lose, double up your bet until you win. Once you do win, return to your initial bet and just keep following the same rule.\nThe Martingale can be applied to nearly any casino table game, such as blackjack, roulette, and baccarat. Say you're sitting at the roulette table and you place a $1 bet on red and lose. According to the Martingale, you should double up and bet $2 on red. If you win, you end up with a net $1 in profit. If you lose, you are now $3 in the red (pun intended) and should thus double up again and bet $4 on the next. Again, if you win, you'll have a net $1 profit, and if you lose, you continue doubling down. Done consistently, you will eventually end up with a small profit every time.\nIn practice, this is a little more complicated. Critics of the Martingale will tell you that while small profits are nearly guaranteed, there is a chance you could sustain huge potential losses as well. To make matters worse, most casinos will have betting limits on their various games, which puts a max cap on how many consecutive losses you can suffer before you aren't allowed to double down any further. In addition, a couple consecutive losses can psychologically dissuade you from making the next larger bet. The bottom line is, even the most optimal betting strategies carry risk, so use with caution.\nIt sounds insanely simple, but slow down while you're playing. Because every game has an RTP of below 100%--which essentially means the casino has the edge in every single game--the faster you play, the more chances the casino has to ultimately make money off of you. To lessen this effect of the 'house edge,' you want to slow down and only make calculated bets. In addition to this, the psychological effects of playing rushed can lead to buyer's remorse and many ill-advised decisions. One loss can quickly turn into many more, turning even the most experienced bettors into a never-ending spiral of tilt.\nIt's important to realize that most casinos are specifically designed to try and get customers to speed up their gambling. Ever wonder why many casino gaming floors are wide open spaces? It turns out that seeing 90 degree angles activate the decision-making parts of the brain, which casinos try their best to discourage! Many casinos also do not have windows or clocks, making it easier for patrons to lose sense of time. Finally, many slot machines ring in major tones, which subconsciously makes you stay and play more due to the pleasant tones. Of course, at online casinos, only some of these factors apply. However, the constantly improving graphics provided by no deposit casino software providers along with ease of play can also trap you into playing much faster than you intended. Constantly reminding yourself to slow down your gambling can be a huge game-changer.\nTake Advantage of Bonuses but Read The Fine Print\nSome online casinos are just not safe - even if you manage to find no deposit offers. This is the unfortunate truth, and we will always do our best to ensure player safety and security in all of our online casino reviews. While it has gotten easier over time to detect scammy casinos and shut them down, some still do exist. However, even at the safest of casinos, sometimes all it takes is one line of fine print to void an entire deposit bonus. That's why this tip is dedicated to reminding all players to please read the fine print in your casino's terms and conditions to make sure you are disqualifying yourself from payouts!\nThe first draw to most online casinos is the signup bonus offers. However, many of them come with some fine print. Take, for example, a signup bonus that matches 100% of a deposit up to $500. On the surface, it would appear that depositing $500 would instantly net you a bonus $500, making your total playable funds $1,000 from the outset. While this may be true, the fine print may also contain conditions such as:\n- Bonus funds must be wagered at least 25x before they become available for withdrawal.\n- Bonus funds must be wagered at least 10x on Bonanza before they become available for withdrawal.\n- Bonus funds must be wagered at least 10x within fourteen days of claiming the bonus, otherwise funds and all associated winnings will be forfeited.\nThese are extremely common bonus terms and conditions that apply to most bonuses. Like the three above, they usually boil down to wagering requirements, specific game requirements, and time limits. So while reading the fine print isn't a gambling strategy per se, it can save you from losing out on a lot of bonus funds and potential winnings. Ultimately, the goal is to have fun and win some money gambling at online casinos, and this tip helps with both!\nOne good tip is to find reliable casino sites that are open about their terms. A couple of good choices and who sometimes offer no deposit bonuses are 888 Casino, and for Australian no depost bonus hunters, also Fair Go Casino.\nHopefully, you found value in these five online gambling strategies you can use to win at online casinos more often. We kept these tips short and general, such that anyone looking to quickly pick up on online gambling can get started right away with a decent arsenal of strategies. Of course, you may prefer some casino games over others, and learning specific strategies for those games certainly won't hurt! This guide was simply meant to act as a springboard for you to start dominating in your online casino career.

It was for Jackie Scully to wear as she ran this year’s Virgin Money London Marathon to raise money for the charities who helped her during her recovery from cancer. After the race we caught up with the runaway bride herself to hear about the biggest of big days:\nI wouldn’t change a single thing about my wedding day. I got married on the Cutty Sark at dawn and then went off to run the London Marathon with my new husband, my cousin and my dad. It was the best day of my life.\nI wasn’t always sure it would be, though. I’ve spent ten months battling an injury. In fact, as I was walking to the start line I was hobbling. I thought to myself, ‘What the hell am I doing?’ But I knew that, even if I crawled, I would get around the track. I might not get a medal – you need to make it in under eight hours to get one of those – but I would make it over the finish line. But I ran the whole way, carried by the elation of the day. It was like a 26-mile street party. Everybody on the course seemed to know who we were. It was totally and utterly incredible. Last year I ran a marathon and I had seven supporters positioned around the course and I saw about three of them. This year, I'm not joking, every other person was cheering us on. People were shouting \"Jackie, how are you doing?\" I’d spend the next few feet trying to work out where I knew them from, then realising I didn’t know them at all. It was crazy. Runners were congratulating us, as were the support crews. I just spent six hours saying, ‘thank you’. It was so humbling.\nThe entire course was a highlight, but a few moments stick in my mind. Greenwich, obviously, because it was where we got married and we live there. Tower Bridge was a cacophony of noise. It was incredible. Then at Embankment a woman came up to me and said, ‘I've read about your journey, you kept me going when I thought I couldn't train any more. Now every time I pass you, because I keep overtaking you and you overtaking me, my knees suddenly don't hurt anymore.’ I was, and still am, completely and utterly overwhelmed if I'm honest.\nThe dress Frankie designed for me held up incredibly well. I ran the marathon last year in running gear and I was covered in grazes and lines where my clothes met my skin. This year, nothing. I’ve never been known for my sense of style, but going around the course people were saying ‘I love your dress. Where did you get it from?’ I was like, ‘Really? You want style advice? Now?’\nI was weeping as I crossed the line because Willow – one of the charities I was running for, which helped me a lot when I was recovering from cancer – had their last cheer-point just before Buckingham Palace. There were people there who are still fighting against incredible odds and after I saw them I was in bits. I was awash with tears all the way down Birdcage Walk.\nWe've done what we set out to do, which was gift our wedding back to charity in epic style. With Gift Aid we raised over £23,000. Our target was £15,000. It’s beyond my wildest dreams. We smashed everything, and I'm still alive. It's just incredible.\nI keep forgetting we’re only halfway through it. For our honeymoon we’re trekking the Great Wall of China to raise more money for charity. I thought if I could run the marathon, I can do a trek, but apparently it’s quite hard work. So I think it's going to be a bit of a rude awakening but, you know, we'll reach the end.\nIf you ever need reassurance that there are good people in the world, go look at the London Marathon. The runners are incredible, the spectators are incredible, the spirit is incredible. The world has had a lot of problems in the past year, but what a brilliant demonstration of hope on the streets of London. It's about making ordinary people realise they can be extraordinary.", "domain": "hobby"}

I was wondering if it is possible to visualize a full day on a photo. I finally decided to give it a try! The shooting began the morning of December 30, 2010. I started taking photos with the camera on a tripod facing east. The 'day part' is composed of a dozen of shots covering the landscape from east to west and the Sun's course from sunrise to sunset. The Sun's position was recorded exactly every 15 minutes using an intervalometer, with an astrosolar filter adjusted to the camera lens. In one of the shots, when the Sun was near it's maximum altitude, I removed the filter in order to capture a more 'dramatic' shot with the Sun's glare. After the sunset, I took various shots with the camera facing west - northwest in order to achieve a more smooth transition from the 'day part' to the 'night part' of the picture. The 'night part' is also composed of a dozen of shots covering the landscape from west to east. After the 'transition' shots I mentioned above, I took a small startrail sequence, with approximately half an hour duration, and the camera facing northwest. Then at 19.13 local time, I turned the camera to north and I started taking the all-night startrail which lasted almost 11 hours. After the 11 hour startrail I turned the camera to northeast and I shot a half an hour startrail, and finally with the camera at northeast and east some 'night to day' transition shots.\nA) Some of the challenges:\n-- Preparation. This picture is composed of many shots taken at very different lighting conditions. This requires a very detailed preparation of exactly how and when to take these shots. I have made a written plan of the shooting and also set an alarm clock to be notified whenever I had to change the shooting angle or a camera setting.\n-- Patience... I had to stay to the same place, alone for approximately 30 hours. (I was on the spot 2-3 hours before sunrise in order to make the preparations and test shooting and I also stayed 2-3 hours more to the second day in order to shoot a part of the Sun's sequence that I lost the first morning due to clouds. Therefore, this photo represents a 24 hour shot but it is actually more...).\n-- Weather - clouds. My plan was to make the shooting at the winter solstice day, achieving the lowest Sun's arc, and the longest startrail duration. The problem is that even for the famous Greek weather it requires a great amount of luck to find 24 continuous hours with clear sky in the middle of winter... This day finally came at December 30 to 31, 2010. I chose Sounio for this project for it's usually stable weather conditions.\n-- Cold... At night, I had to stay awake, inspecting the camera lens for moisture every 30 minutes. The temperature was about 3 degrees Celsius, so this wasn't very easy. I was equipped with a hairdryer, in order to use it on the lens in case of moisture but I finally didn't use it because the moisture levels were low.\n-- Power the camera. A typical camera battery lasts for only a few hours. I use an adapter to power the camera from a large 12V battery.\n-- All night startrail. A lot of things can go wrong here. A thick cloud that passes through the field of view, can ruin the startrail photo. Other possible problems include moisture, windy conditions or even an accidental kick on the tripod or the power supply. Believe me! After many, many hours in the cold and in the darkness one of the most challenging tasks is not to kick the tripod!\n-- Photo process. It took me about 12 hours to compose and process a single photo from over 500 startrail, 35 Sun sequence and 25 landscape shots. I have made 'litle planet', startrails and Sun sequence shots before but to be honest I really wasn't sure if all the above can be combined. The software I used: Startrails for the startrails, Ptgui for the little planet and Photoshop for the final touch.\n-- Nagging from the wife. Fortunately I was lucky enough for not having such an issue!\n-- A DSLR camera (I use Canon 550D).\n-- A camera tripod.\n-- A fast and large memory card for the camera. (4 GB is OK, 8 GB is better).\n-- A wide field lens (I prefer prime lenses. They are not as flexible as zoom lenses but they generally provide better quality.) For a relatively small panorama I prefer the Canon EF28mm f/1.8 USM but for large panoramas with fast moving objects (clouds, stars) it is better to use a wider lens like Canon EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye\n-- An intervalometer. I have the TC80N3 which is the most reliable. The problem is that Canon does not provide an intervalometer for the 'small' DSLR models, so if you have for example Canon 400D, 450D, 550D etc you will need an adapter like this one.\n-- An external power source for the camera. I use a large 12V battery which is similar to a car battery. It is better to buy one that it is specifically designed for continuous charge and discharge cycles. So you need a battery charger as well. I also use this adapter to connect the camera to the battery:\n-- An astro solar membrane filter for the Sun's disk shots. You may buy the membrane and make your own custom filters using carton.\n-- A hair drier to periodically blow hot air to the lens in order to avoid moisture. You may need a second battery and a power inverter for that. You may use the one in the car but it is a bit risky to discharge your car battery...\n-- An alarm clock.\n-- Mobile phone.\n-- Warm clothes. Isothermal clothes and apres ski boots is a good investment for the really cold winter nights.\n-- Water - Food.\n-- A GPS unit so if you get lost on the mountains, the rescue team will know exactly where to find you!\nThe ideal day for this shot is at the winter solstice day (around December, 21) where the Sun makes the lowest arc in the sky comparing to the other days of the year and also we have the longest night. Seek for an accurate weather forecast and try to find a clear day as near as possible to winter solstice. Make a written plan of the shooting. Have a look at the photo with the annotations to get an idea. If it is necessary set the alarm clock to remind you whenever you have to change a camera angle or setting.\nChoose a spot with an interesting foreground and if it is possible with relatively stable weather conditions. From my experience, for example on a top of a mountain you may encounter fog or windy conditions.\nMake a checklist. You don't want to ruin the project because you forgot an adaptor or charging the battery.\n-- Cartes Du Ciel or similar astronomy software. It contains useful information such as the exact time of the sunrise, the Sun's highest altitude, sunset, lighting of the sky etc.\n-- Startrails.de. I use this software to compose the startrails photo.\n-- Ptgui. It is the photo stitching software.\nLet's suppose that you start shooting before sunrise. Set the camera on a tripod on the preferred spot and start taking shots covering the area from east to south, including the ground (remember this will be a 'little planet' panorama) . The purpose for this is to obtain the 'morning landscape' shots of the panorama. Just before the Sun appears, turn the camera to the east, secure it tight, take a photo of this position to the landscape without a filter, put the solar filter to the lens, set the intervalometer to take a shot every 15 minutes and then wait. It should take at least 2 hours before the Sun starts to approach the end of your field of view.\nAt this point you should turn the camera to the new position facing south, secure tight the tripod, and let the camera continue taking shots. Every time you change the camera angle you must remove the filter to take a shot of the landscape. You could do that when the Sun is on the highest altitude to add a shot of the Sun without the\nAgain, after 2-3 hours, when the Sun starts to approach the end of your field of view, you change the angle again facing west, remove the filter, take a shot of the landscape, put the filter again and let the camera shoot the final set of the Sun's photos until sunset.\nJust after sunset you remove the filter and take landscape shots covering the area from west to south. This is going to be the 'afternoon landscape' shots of the panorama. When the first stars appear, turn the camera west-north and take a few 'transition shots'. These are intermediate shots between the day shots and the night shots to make the transition from the day to night smoother.\nAt next, you should take shots covering the area from north-west to north-east, (don't forget to include the ground). This will be your night part of the panorama.\nAbout the startrails, in order to achieve a wider startrail and also to make the transition from the trails to the other photos smoother I took a half an hour startrail west-north, an 11 hour startrail at north and finally a half an hour startrail east-north. If you don't have a very large memory card you should calculate the number of shots available in order to adjust the camera settings accordingly. For example if your prefered settings for your startrails is ISO 800 and 30 seconds exposure, consider the fact that if you change it to ISO 400 and 60 seconds exposure you get similar (or even better) results occupying only half memory card space.\nFor the startrails you set the DSLR exposure to Bulb, connect the intervalometer, set the intervalometer exposure to whatever you choose, interval time to 1 second, number of shots to infinite (00) and start shooting! After the startrails you may shoot some darks for better results after the process. Darks are shots with the lens cap on, with the same settings as the startrail shots. A more detailed analysis about startrails will follow in another tutorial.\nAfter the startrails, before the sunrise, when the stars begin to faint, take some transition shots with the camera facing north-east and you are done!\nCongratulations!!! You now have all the material for the 24 hour little planet!\nThe first step is to merge the Sun disk shots with the photos taken during daytime. Stack the Sun's disk shots taken at your first angle (east), with your favorite stacking software. I use Startrails for that. Open your first angle shot with Photoshop and apply the stacked image as a separate layer. Remove the black part from the stacked image. There are a number of ways to do that. You can use the 'magic wand' tool to select and then delete the black background. Then select carefully every little disk with lasso tool, invert the selection and use the eraser tool to erase what's left from the black backround. Finally, merge the layers. Repeat the process with the shots taken at noon and afternoon. This is how a stacked Sun sequence looks like.\nThere is something to consider about the shots taken at noon. They are taken with the camera facing towards the Sun, therefore the landscape may be dark (under-exposed). If previously, during the shooting, you have taken various exposures from the same angle at noon, you can create a High Dynamic Range picture. Another alternative is to just add the missing landscape information (dark), combining the different exposure shots in Photoshop. A simple way: select the landscape with magic wand, copy and paste it as a layer to the noon under-exposed photo, apply if you want 50% opacity to the new layer to hide any visible variations between the two layers and then use eraser tool also with opacity (10-20%) to fine tune any rough edges. It's not an exact science... It requires experimentation and try and error attempts.\nYou should end up with a number of images ready for stitching as shown here. Due to the fact that images are heterogeneous you will have to add many Ptgui control points yourself. See this image for the other options. You should export the blended image AND the layers because the latter is necessary for corrections at some areas of the stitched image where stitching was not accurate. This is how the initial stitched image should look like and this is one of the layers. The final blending - corrections is done with Photoshop.\nWell... That's it! Let me know about your 'little planet' attempts!", "domain": "hobby"}

But we didn’t want just “any” pirate ship, we followed our usual path by not even looking in the market place for what exists already for fear of tainting our creativity. And we stayed true to the company’s 3 themes: looking like the real thing, a center piece and night lights. That left us with a galleon for a ship, and many ideas to follow. And what we created, we think will be more than just a bed or a pirate ship bed, but fun-filled, high-spirited, wayfaring voyages for every boy – and girl – setting sail for that grandson as the bed will transcend time just as the pirates of over 200 years ago.\nWill’s collection is designed for both appeal but also for storage. We won’t deny the obvious, it isn’t small! But it should fit most basic rooms. Just as “unique” as My Princess Collection is, Captain Will’s Pirate Collection will stand out in a crowd and sail on from one son’s dreams to the next generation!\nThe beds sizes are twin and full. Both sizes are shipped in 4 parts. Each bed is composed of the best veneers and solid woods. For exterior woods, we use New Zealand select pine as both veneers on the bow and stern and solid pine on the side rails and frames for the drawers or trundle options.\nThe bed is composed of 3 sections: Bow, Stern and mid-ship section is a knock down due to shipping issues. Please see instructions for assembly. When shipped, the head and footboards come fully assembled. Customers will still have to attach external pieces, such as the ship's wheel, mast, sail, etc. The average assembly time is just over an hour for one person, however, we always recommend having the little pirate around to help and especially a camera. Some of our customers dress up for the occassion too!\nOverall Dimensions :\nBed w/Mast (L x W x H): 9’-5.5” x 42.5” x 7’-6”\nBed w/o Mast (L x W x H): 9’-5.5” x 42.5” x 37.5”\nBed w/Mast (L x W x H): 9’-5.5” x 58.75” x 7’-6”\nBed w/o Mast (L x W x H): 9’-5.5” x 58.75” x 37.5”\nBow (footboard): Just as a real ship, the bow is curved both from side to point and curved down from the gun rail center to the keel – necessary to cut through those rough waters ahead. The inside deck of the bow is level with a 10” mattress. Mattresses are not sold with the bed and the size of the mattress only matters as it relates to standard twin and full size beds. Thickness is the option of the buyer (9” to pillow-top). There are two deck compartments, left and right sides, flush with the deck (somewhat concealed) and opened with a finger hole in the lids. And the first centerpiece for the bed is the ship’s wheel. The ship’s wheel spins left and right freely where a boy can stand on the bow and or the mattress edge and command the roughest of adventures in the mightiest of storms and heartiest of seas.\nStern (headboard): Not wasting space, there are 3 sock drawers on each side of the stern. We’ve included 2 drawers in the headboard below the deck and above the mattress. The upper deck of the stern is set perfectly for pictures, books and various decorative things.\nAt the center of the deck and stern is a mast rising up to a height of 84 ” from the floor to the tip, but is adjustable for ceiling heights greater than 8’. The width of the crossbeam of the mast is equal to the sides of the ship and comes with a specially designed spring and bolt so that the crossbeam, when pulled upon, will swing down and out of the joint in the mast. This is a safety feature to prevent “swinging” from the mast. And no, we didn’t forget the crow’s nest that slips over the top of the mast, the ideal place for small pirate figurines, parrots, etc.\nAbove that, is a pennant of wood that the buyer can hand paint his or her little pirate’s name. And for a fee, we can hand carve your little pirate's name into the wooden pennant; it's a nice and lasting touch! The sail drapes down from the crossbeam to just 13” above the deck. The sail is made of a canvas material and includes an imprinted map. Aside from some of the names on the map, the little pirate can draw his/her own treasure route and mark the spot with an X.\nBack down to the sides of the stern, there is a window on each side. We use a 12V universal power supply to convert 120/220 power that light up 8 (4 each side) LED lights. Combinded with the power supply, this is a great safety feature. There's a switch on the deck of the headboard to turn the lights on and off. Each window has four plexiglass panes. The bed ships with 8 frost window panes, but also INCLUDES 4 each in colors yellow, red, blue, green and can be interchanged.\nMid-Ship (side rails and components): The side rails are made up of solid wood. There is a façade below the side rails that comes standard with the bed. Both sides of the bed have fake drawers with handles that mimic cannons coming out of a port hole and door. The handles are painted black. Each drawer face in the standard model, opens on a hinge to allow for storage under the bed, or more likely for that little hideaway for any little pirate’s treasure. It’s perfectly safe, because the mattress can always be lifted up for access below.\nTrundle/Storage Drawers Option: The side frame for the façade of drawer faces can be detached from the actual bed and reattached to a trundle “box”. This allows the user to move the trundle to either side for a sleepover. Increasing storage space is simple. The storage drawer option is a self-sustaining/supporting box houses the drawer boxes with slides. In this case, however, do not detach the frame from the bed, but detach each fake drawer from the frame and attach to the drawer boxes. The supporting box for the drawers are mounted to the frame from the inside. You can put up to two sets of storage drawers in a bed.\nMake-Up and Colors:\nThe bed is made up of New Zealand select pine and high-density MDF and plywood Veneers meeting US CARB standards, among the strictest in the world. We are offering 2 colors of stains right now, but are open to adding more colors in the future. The options are a 1) Dark Espresso and 2) is a Chocolate.\nAs with all of our products, we do offer custom colors. There is a fee for this, and customers can provide paint samples from stores such as Home Depot, Lowes, etc. Simply tell us the number, and we’ll pick one up and match it. There is an 8 to 12 week time frame on special colors or paints that depends on the timing of the order with each batch of beds being produced.\nAll case goods:\nCarefully crafted, each casegood fits the bed but is also cost effective. We offer a special 7-drawer dresser, 1-Drawer with doors nightstand, Stepstool, Storage Drawers underside of mattress, trundle and treasure chest/toy chest.\nAll case goods are a mix of solid wood and veneers. All drawer faces, top surfaces and decorative profiles are made in veneer just as large flat surfaces use the veneers, an excellent choice for strength and smooth texture after painting. In addition, each drawer “box” is made from solid wood and unfinished and uses dovetail joints for expert craftsmanship, the best and strongest joints made, and mounted on metal sliders.\nAll case goods are stained and lacquered in matching colors.\nNote: Specifications are subject to changes without notice and at the discretion of Dream Rooms for Kids, Inc.", "domain": "hobby"}

She was a good sport; taking situations of any nature in stride. Jessica had a vivid imagination creating art from her ideas or from ideas absorbed from the conversations of others. She loved farm life; riding horses, water fights, Halloween pranks with her sisters, hanging out in the old porch - affectionally known as the play house, and many other adventures which children find to have on a farm. She even had Vicky convinced that when picking rocks and roots, you had to pick the tiny ones too because they would grow into big ones, So, here comes Vicky with a handful of pebbles and twigs to put in the clearing wagon.\nWhen not busy with school activities, such as yearbook club or the drama club’s production of Grease, Jessica liked to meetup with friends to play games of football - she had no problem tackling the guys. They also enjoyed shooting each other with paint balls and generally hanging out. At home, she would play crib with her Dad and sometimes her siblings. Jessica also enjoyed playing board games and puzzles, and was always willing to try something new or repeat something over and over.\nShe enjoyed many sports playing on school teams from junior high right up through college. Jessica’s favourite being basketball. You wouldn’t be surprised walking into her bedroom to find a poster on the wall of a favourite NBA player. High school Jessica discovered one of the benefits to playing organized sports when her team was able to travel to Oregon for a tournament, igniting her desire to travel.\nJessica’s enthusiasm and hard work earned her a variety of awards for her athletic efforts. Her enjoyment and desire to succeed in basketball earned her a place on a nationally placed Canadian college basketball team; winning 2nd in Nova Scotia in 1996, in a nail bitter of a game. Unfortunately, due to an accident while playing the following year, Jessica’s knee was injured, taking her out of the game for a while, but she was still able to help and be involved with the team.\nJessica graduated from the Grande Prairie Community College with a diploma in business administration, accounting major, gaining work experience with jobs in Vallyview, Edson, and Grande Prairie; eventually, taking her to Peace River where she began her career starting in logistics working her way up to a more administrative position in finance. Having worked there for fourteen years, Jessica gained a family through work, fostering many friendships both in and outside of work, out on the fire line and during professional development. She will be remembered for her professionalism and passion, going over and above to complete projects. Working with forestry, gave Jessica the chance to visit many areas in Alberta and B.C. to aid in forest fire services.\nShe offered her time to a variety of other organizations working or volunteering. She worked at the Grande Prairie race track, volunteered her time at the Grimshaw Rodeo, helped in Edson at the Trail Hall’s fall supper as well as other places and people that needed extra help.\nOutside of work, a person could find Jessica hanging out with friends, having trivia nights, catching up on favourite shows, going out for supper and a movie (just not Titanic), doing crafting and sometimes playing board games. When the opportunity presented itself, Jessica always enjoyed a night out dancing or attempting some artistic challenges by attending paint nights and creating pottery.\nOver the years Jessica took the time to travel the world. Not only was she able to travel with her sports teams, she travelled with friends and solo to achieve her dreams. Having her little sister living in Australia for a year, gave Jessica a good reason to visit the continent where she got to see the crocodile farm, the Great Barrier Reef, and where they went white water rafting. On a trip to Orlando with her friend Angie where they took some time to visit Disney world, and as a crazy Disney fan this was definitely at the top of Jessica’s adventure list. One of her last trips was to Europe for a Mediterranean Cruise visiting Rome, Italy, the Vatican and Greece.\nAs much time as Jessica spent at work and personal activities, she did her best to spend as much time as possible with her family. Even work trips to Hinton or Edmonton gave her opportunities to visit family members. When it came time to celebrate the birthdays of nieces and nephews she was right in the mix, many of Roxane’s kid’s birthday cakes had the aid of Jessica’s creative side during the decoration process. When a fire wasn’t keeping her away, Jessica always made it out to Malissa’s kids birthday family camping trips which most times was a celebration of her birthday as well.\nIn 2010, when Vicky was married on a mountain, and the only way for most of us to get to the celebration was by helicopter, Jessica was the most excited having experienced riding in them before for fire related situations. She was willing to let anyone else experience the front seat, but lucky for her we were all too nervous and preferred the back seats.\nJessica enjoyed life, she loved her family and her friends, she would do anything she could for anyone of them. The following poem sums up what we would like to say:\nSister and Best Friend\nThe moment I realized, my sister just died.\nMy hands cradled my face, and I frantically cried.\nWhy did this happen, and how could this be.\nShe had so much to live for, we could all clearly see.\nMy heart simply dropped, and felt a sharp pain.\nMy tears fell instantly, like a severe August rain.\nI was truly lucky, to have a sister like her.\nCountless others, nod and concur.\nI will miss our talks, and her comforting voice.\nAnd those random moments, where we'd mutually rejoice.\nRest in peace, Sister and best friend,\nmy deepest love, to the sky I shall send.", "domain": "hobby"}

Originally built as the Catholic Cathedral of St. Nicholas, it underwent a transformation and was repurposed into an Mosque with the capture of Rethymnon by the Ottoman Turks later on.\nAndros island : Aerial photography of Chora town.\nAndros is the northernmost island of the Greek Cyclades archipelago.

Locate a feeder where it is not exposed to wind, since a swinging bird feeder will frighten birds and also scatter seed. Grains and seeds are ideal feed for bird feeders because they satisfy both the appetite and the nutrient requirements of many birds.\nMany birds will nest in human-made nest boxes. The entrance of a nest box should be only large enough to permit a desired bird to enter. For example, if you want to attract chickadees, the entrance should be only about 1 inch (3 centimeters) wide. A slanted roof and a hole in the floor of the box will help rainwater drain away and keep the inside of the box dry.\nPlants That Attract Birds\nInvite birds to your backyard by providing plants that offer food, shelter, and nesting sites. A variety of flowering plants provide tasty seed snacks for birds. Flowering plants that have sturdy, upright stems offer a perch for a bird as it eats. Trees and bushes that produce colorful berries will draw birds’ attention.\nA birdbath is an ideal place to watch birds bathe and preen, in which they use their bills to spread oil to each feather. Clean, oiled feathers provide good insulation from the cold and rain. Make sure the birdbath is at least 24 inches (61 centimeters) wide—any smaller and birds will use the bath only for a quick drink and will not stay around to bathe and preen. Many small birds are afraid of deep water, so make sure the water in the bath is no deeper than 3 inches (8 centimeters).\nPlatform Bird Feeder\nTo attract ground-feeding birds to your backyard, use a simple platform feeder. These low tables are ideal to view birds and their eating behaviors as they jostle for food. Platform feeders can hold many types of bird food, including seeds, fruits, and peanuts. Locate your feeder near plant cover so that birds can quickly fly to shelter if they feel threatened.", "domain": "hobby"}

Seeing the game covered everywhere from Eurogamer, PC Gamer, Rock Paper Shotgun, PCGamesN and GameInformer to VentureBeat, Variety, Hollywood Reporter and more has been fantastic for the team after so many years of working on Hytale in secret.\nNonetheless, we understand that with all of this attention comes high expectations. For that reason, we're taking extra steps to ramp up production and ensure that we deliver a game you'll love. For one thing, we're expanding our hiring plans. Keep an eye on our jobs page in the new year for a full list of the positions that we'll be recruiting!\nWe know that many of you are hungry for more information about Hytale. Starting in early January, we’ll be publishing a series of articles on this blog going into detail about different features of the game, from our world generation tech to the Hytale Model Maker.\nIn particular, we know that combat, modding and server specifics are important to large parts of the community. We're paying special attention to these topics, and in the new year we're going to be reaching out to community leaders to make sure we're providing you with the information you need. Watch this space!\nIn the meantime, we want to provide a quick look at something we’ve been working on recently. Amongst all of the excitement of the announcement, we’ve been researching improvements to Hytale’s weather and fog system - and this week we implemented it into the game. These effects weren't finished when we produced the trailer, but here's a glimpse of what Hytale's engine is capable of:\nThe effects in this video have been drastically turned up in order to best demonstrate their impact. Not every misty winter morning will be quite this misty, but we're really pleased with the effects we're able to achieve with these new features. Of course, modders and content creators will be able to tweak weather and fog settings to their heart's content!\nMake sure you watch that video with sound on, too, or you’ll miss out on a preview of Hytale’s atmospheric soundtrack.\nThis is only a glimpse of a small aspect of the game, but we hope you’ll join us in the new year for much more Hytale content. In the meantime -\nHappy holidays, everyone!", "domain": "hobby"}

I should say it used to be my favorite beach, back when I could see the horseshoe-shaped bay and the craggy rocks growing up out of the sand like castle turrets on either side. Now, thanks to that bizarre infection with the unpronounceable name, all beaches are pretty much identical. And sunny Saturdays? They might as well be cloudy Tuesdays. With every year that goes by, my memories of sun shimmering on waves grow foggier, one shimmer and one wave at a time.\nYou might say I live in a world filled with nights, one after the other.\nI still like the beach, though, especially on days like today. I think it must have something to do with how I sense the sun. The doctors tell me my brain reacts to it, but I don’t know whether that’s true or whether it’s another story they make up to lift my spirits, motivate me to get outside, get some fresh air, get on with life. What I do know is I love the feeling of my skin shining, as if the sun turns me into polished silver or bronze. Maybe gold, maybe platinum. Or the steel of a knight’s armor, glistening before the joust.\n‘Can we build a sand castle?’ my sister squeaks in her little-girl voice.\nSusan is eight now, the same age I was when I carefully placed my last flag on the last turret on the last castle I made.\n‘Sure,’ I say, although I’d rather read my new book. I’m good at Braille – better than I thought I’d be nine years ago.\nSusan must have heard me hesitate. ‘Please, Katie? It’ll be fun.’\nI always loved building castles at the beach. I imagined miniature knights and squires, all made of smooth sand, galloping up toward the drawbridge on sturdy steeds while princesses and ladies-in-waiting giggled and gossiped from the parapets. I don’t love making castles so much anymore – my job these days is to pack bucket after bucket of sand, knowing I won’t see the final masterpiece. But I put the book aside and tell Susan I’ll help.\nSusan and Dad work on the foundation; I know this because I’ve filled and tamped down four of the oblong molds, and that’s always the best way to start a sand castle. I reach over and ask Susan to put my hand on the base so I can feel what they’ve done so far.\nShe swats my hand away. ‘No, Kate! You’ll ruin it.’\n‘I’ll be careful.’\n‘That’s what you said the last time,’ Susan whines. ‘Daddy, tell Kate not to touch my castle!’\nMy castle. She has no idea how those two words sting.\nDad hushes her, saying it’s our castle, not just Susan’s, and places two round buckets next to my leg so I can find them easily. I wonder if he’s familiar with that old saying about actions speaking louder than words.\nA few more buckets and Susan starts squealing. ‘Oh, it’s so pretty! Oh, Kate, I wish you could see it!’\nI don’t bother telling her the only way I can see is with my hands. To my eyes, the castle might as well be made of black sand on a moonless night.\n‘Hurry, Kate. We need another bucket,’ Susan says.\nDad laughs. ‘Come on, slowpoke.’ He means it to be funny.\nI don’t see it that way. Ha ha. Good one, Kate.\nSusan joins in. ‘Come on, slowpoke!’\nThe sun burns hotter on my face, but it isn’t really the sun that makes me flush. As I listen to Susan and Dad deciding how big to make the moat, and Susan offering to fill pails with water – ‘Kate can’t do that by herself,’ she chirps – I feel more like a forgotten rusted toy than a shiny silver star. I turn, burying my face in the beach towel, and wonder if tears will make me rust faster.\nSomething blocks the warmth on my arm, and I raise my head. It’s an old habit, looking up to see what I can’t see, but one I haven’t yet forgotten. ‘Dad?’ I say.\n‘Yes, honey?’ Dad’s voice comes from the opposite direction. I’m pretty sure he has his back to me. Now I hear water sloshing into the castle moat and Susan skipping around in the sand, telling me how wonderful her castle is without really speaking to me at all.\n‘Hi,’ a different voice says. He sounds about my age – not quite a man, but past the awkward squeaky stage of puberty. ‘How come you’re not helping with the sand castle?’\nI shrug. The hardest part about being blind is having to tell people. No, that’s not true. The hardest part comes after you tell people – when you hear them say, Oh, I’m so sorry. That part sucks. But I tell the boy anyway, knowing he’ll leave. Hoping he’ll leave.\nWhat does seeing have to do with building a sand castle? he says.\nI feel warmth on my arm again and a few grains of sand scatter onto my feet. He must have knelt down. Well, I guess it sort of helps to know where you’re putting the sand, doesn’t it? Besides, what’s the point if I can’t see it when I’m finished?\nHe laughs. ‘Yeah, I guess it might as well be like painting on a black canvas with black paint. Sorry. Bad joke.’\n‘Or building castles with black sand on a night with no moon,’ I say, and can’t help laughing myself.\nWe come up with a dozen different metaphors for sightlessness, each one sillier than the next. The funny part is, none of them bothers me.\n‘So,’ he says, and I hear him scooping sand into one of the pails. ‘How about we build a crazy castle?’ He takes my hand and wraps my fingers around the handle of the pail. \"’You start.’\n‘Why not? Besides, who cares what it looks like? Even the best sand castles end up getting washed away when the tide comes in.’\nIn another ten minutes, I’m sitting in the center of four sandy turrets, patting them smooth while he replenishes our water supply.\n‘You’re going to ruin it,’ Susan says.\nOf course I will.\n‘No, she won’t.’ It’s the boy’s voice again, speaking in my direction, not Susan’s. He shuffles away, kicking up fine grains of sand, comes back, plops clumps of wet sand around me. ‘Do the north wall first. That’s the direction you’re facing. Like this.\" I can feel him guiding my hands right and left until my fingertips graze the sides of the turrets. ‘Got it?’\n‘Got it,’ I say. I wish my tone carried the same confidence as the words.\nSusan sniffs, mumbles something under her breath about how I’ll screw everything up, and her voice trails off.\nIt must be at least an hour later, because the sun kisses my back now. ‘Well? What does it look like?’ I ask the boy.\n‘It looks like a castle. With a princess sitting in it.’ He takes my right hand and carefully places it on one tower. ‘Here. That’s north-east. I put some crenulations on the parapet. Can you feel them?’\nMy fingers move up and down, snaking over the rises and falls. I imagine princesses and ladies-in-waiting waving delicate handkerchiefs as knights and squires approach the drawbridge. ‘It’s beautiful,’ I say, thinking the boy who built my castle must be some sort of medieval architecture genius.\n‘We did a pretty good job. Maybe we can make another one next Saturday. If you’re here.’\n‘I’ll be here. My name’s Kate, by the way.’ I feel a little stupid not even knowing his name.\n‘I’m Hugo,’ he says, and I don’t need to see his smile. I can hear the shine in it, like the steel of a knight’s armor, glistening before the joust.\nCHRISTINA DALCHER weaves words and mixes morphemes from her home in the American South.

But I wanted something a little more unusual than that. I know, what could be more special than a ranch in the Rockies?\nSo I brought the conundrum to some writer friends and asked for help brainstorming. There’s nothing quite so fascinating as a group of writers in full brainstorming mode. Since the series is set during the mining boom in Montana, we discussed the idea of some kind of mine on the ranch, but not gold or silver. Or even copper. The remarkable Sarah Erredge (who writes as S.E. Warren) suggested Sapphires.\nThat thought immediately grabbed hold of me (especially since the Sapphire is the birthstone for my month of September). But I’d never heard of Sapphires being discovered in Montana. That seemed impossible… Right?\nUntil some quick research showed there are three well-known pockets of sapphires in the state! Rock Creek is one of those locations, and is positioned perfectly for where I wanted to set my story—west of Helena and about a half day’s ride from the Mullan Road.\nThe timing of sapphire discoveries in the state is perfect for my series as well. Early prospectors searching for gold in the gravel of the Missouri River repeatedly discarded the annoying blue pebbles that continually clogged their sluices without much thought to what they may be. It wasn’t discovered that these “pebbles” were sapphires until 1895 when a man named Ed Coulter forwarded samples of these stones to Tiffany & Co. When Tiffany purchased the lot for $3,750 (approximately $110,300 as of 2018) and declared that the stones were “sapphires of unusual quality,” a small-scale sapphire rush began.\nThis rush is exactly what the Coulter brothers in the Brothers of Sapphire Ranch series are trying to avoid. That’s why they keep the sapphire mine on their property secret during this first book in the series, Healing the Mountain Man’s Heart.\nI pray you love book 1 in this new series and fall as deeply in love with this ranch in the Rockies as I have, especially with the Brothers of Sapphire Ranch.\nI pray you and your book club enjoy Healing the Mountain Man’s Heart! If you’d like me to join one of your discussion sessions through video or phone, I’d be honored. Just send me a note through the Contact Page. I can’t wait to meet you!\nHugs and blessings!\nMisty M.

Gardens Illustrated Magazine\nOne of our favorite sources of gardening inspiration, Gardens Illustrated is THE magazine to get you excited about gardening.\nFrom tiny residential spaces to big sprawling manors with double herbaceous borders to cut flower gardens to beautiful and immaculate vegetable gardens, there are gardens for everyone to love and feel inspired by.\nI particularly love how they will break down a garden and identify the special types of plants (in stunningly soft photographs that are of course breathtakingly beautiful) so that you too can start planning your garden with those plants.\nAlthough most of us will never have a giant perfectly clipped boxwood hedge, the gardens and plantings featured in GI are so inspirational that you can’t help but feel excited and in love with them - and they do undoubtedly have an influence on the plants we pick to grow and the way we garden.\n2. Plants with Style by kelly norris\nIf you haven’t read Plants with Style, you definitely should! I’m biased due to the fact that Kelly Norris is a good friend and influence on my design style (especially his awe-inspiring plant combinations from the Des Moines Botanical Garden) but even if I didn’t know Kelly, I would still sing the praises of this book.\nFilled with the best of the best, the cultivars in the book transform plants that I usually wouldn’t think of planting due to their ubiquitous nature (lilies, gaillardia, pennisetums) into must-have pieces for the garden.\nKelly has a particular gift for describing plants in an entertaining and page-turning manner, taking you along for the journey as he discusses species. It’s almost like he’s recounting a story about old friends going on an adventure - you feel like you already know these cultivars and have grown them for years by the time he’s doing telling you about them.\nYou can buy the book directly from Kelly’s website (and learn more about him as a plantsman and gardener!)\n3. Sarah Raven’s Website\nThere are a lot of gardening supply and seed websites out there. Sarah Raven’s is one of the best.\nKnown for her bold and colorful gardens, there’s something so charming, so carefree, so very British about her style of gardening and choice of plants. You can’t help but want to just walk through her gardens. Just the way that talks about the flowers and plants in her garden, you can just tell that gardening is her passion and she knows her plants through and through.\nI particularly love the way that Sarah is able to plan for a natural cutting garden that will allow you to have arrangements of flowers pretty much year round. Whether showing you how to cordon sweet peas, grow aquilegias from seed, or keep cosmos deadheaded, you’re going to get excited about your garden and color and cutting from your garden by visiting her website!\n4. Visit your local botanical garden\nAlthough we can give recommendations on gardening and plants, everyone’s climate is a little bit different. We grow the same plant differently in the Southwest compared to the Southeast, and even more so than the Midwest or East coast. There’s no better way to get ideas of the plants that will thrive and perform well than visiting your local botanical garden.\nFor instance here in New Mexico, we have the ABQ Biopark Botanic Garden and everywhere you look there are beautiful plant combinations. Whether you’re looking for something native, something xeric, or a lush and well tended Japanese garden, there’s something here for everyone to take inspiration from for the home garden.\nWhile you don’t have to recreate the botanic garden in your own garden, you can take away great ideas that will inspire your planting ideas at home.\n5. Head to Pinterest\nWe do love Pinterest for the way that it is a visual search engine. No matter what you’re looking for in a garden, there is something to inspire you there.\nI’ve been a Pinterest user since it first started back in 2011, and the gardening pins have been extremely inspiring to me throughout the years. When I find myself in a bit of a muddle as far as what to plant or looking for plant combinations, Pinterest is always giving me new options or ideas.\nOne tip: it’s easy to get sucked into Pinterest due to the sheer amount of ideas - so it’s best to really focus on a specific type or style of garden (French potager, British herbaceous border, dry hot border) and go from there.\n6. Take a walk in nature\nAlthough I do love the work of many designers, Mother Nature is sometimes the most innovative and best designer that I know. When it comes to plant combinations, she sometimes will place plants together in a way that I never in a million years would have thought of.\nSome of the designer greats - like Piet Oudolf- are inspired by nature. For the Lurie Garden for instance, Oudolf traveled all over the Midwest, observing the ecosystem and how the plants interacted together and grew together in their natural environment. Seeing how echinacea actually grew among the native grasses in the tall grass prairie, the ways that the plants grow, go to seed and then die, only to rise again .\nIf you’re in a designer rut, head out into nature. Use your eyes, check the nooks and crannies, the wetlands and the creeks to gain inspiration.\nWe wish you the best as far as planning and designing your garden this next year! We’re going to be working on several gardens ourselves this year - a dry Mediterranean garden, a native pollinator garden and a cutting garden among others - and we will be relating our planning and inspirations with you.", "domain": "hobby"}

Over the course of (nearly) 70 years, there have only been 2 other owners. The house had nice landscaping with a considerable amount of curb appeal. As is the case with many homes, the house needed some updating. Upon closer inspection, it became obvious the property needed a little tender loving care as well.\nSurrounding the house and garage is a rock garden. Over the years, grass and soil had overrun the liner and masked where the lawn ended and the rock garden began. In fact, at one point I didn’t even know a liner existed. However, I did notice a black liner peaking out of the grass and took it upon myself to dig it out by hand. Over the course of several weeks, rock and soil were removed and a grass-line (and liner) were rediscovered.\nOne day while digging rocks out of dirt, I pulled out a tiny black toy boot out of the soil. It looked as though it once belonged to a Barbie doll. The vintage high heel boot had been hibernating 4-5 inches into the soil, along the lawn-side of the rock bed’s liner. The discovery peaked my interest, however I was in work mode and decided to stay focused on the project at hand.\nThe family that previously lived in our home had occupied the house for nearly 60 years. They raised three girls who shared the upstairs of the 1.5 story house. While not confirmed, it seems likely one of the girls lost the Barbie boot while the original rock garden was installed.\nAfter wrapping up my work, I decided to show my wife the work that had been done…and the decades old toy boot. The boot seemed to be packed with dirt. I tapped the boot against a metal rail to remove the dirt. Then, all of a sudden, a tiny root system popped out.\nThe root system strangely kept it’s shape to reveal a stiletto bootie. (It is beyond me how the root system kept its shape.) The roots were packed with particles of dirt, however it was all very fragile. I made the spur of the moment decision to document the roots. I broke off a Hosta leaf and head indoors for a Sunday night photography session.\nI quickly turned the kitchen into a mini-studio; grabbing white board. a Nikon camera (plug), a Macro 120mm Nikkor Lens (plug), and two Profoto strobes (shameless plug). With tweezers, I carefully positioned the boot and blew away the continuous dirt particles that presented them self under the macro lens. After feeling satisfied with the results of the Hosta leaf, me being me, I decided that I should try other grainy surfaces. As it turns out, intuition reigns supreme.\nThe vintage Barbie boot and “Root Boot” still exist and are kept together in a safe spot. It fascinates me how much can be lost in a generation or two. I am curious if the boot would jog the memory of the three sisters that once played around our house. Regardless, findings like this are fun reminder to take time and observe the surroundings. Expect the unexpected…or at least be open to possibility.While generations and their toys will pass, nature is consistent and will reclaim its course.", "domain": "hobby"}

A higher resolution means more pixels, and more pixels means a better image. However, remember that a higher resolution also means that your computer will have to work harder to render the image, which can impact performance.\n2. Refresh Rate\nAs we mentioned, the refresh rate is how many times your monitor refreshes the image per second. A higher refresh rate means a smoother image, and is especially important for fast-paced games.\n3. Response Time\nThe response time is how long it takes for a pixel to change colors. A lower response time means less ghosting and blurring, which can be important for competitive gamers.\n4. Input Lag\nInput lag is the delay between inputting a command and when it appears on the screen. Your monitor or your computer can cause this, so it’s important to test for both. A lower input lag means a more responsive gaming experience.\n5. Display Type\nThere are two main types of displays: TN and IPS. TN panels are typically cheaper and have faster response times, while IPS panels have better color reproduction and viewing angles.\nBe sure to check the ports on your monitor to make sure it is compatible with your computer. Most monitors will have HDMI and DisplayPort inputs, but some may also have DVI or VGA inputs.\nOf course, price is always a consideration when making any purchase. But don’t let price be the only factor in your decision. A more expensive monitor doesn’t necessarily mean a better gaming experience. Instead, focus on finding a monitor with the features and specs important to you.\nSome Last Words\n144hz monitors are the best way to get a smooth gaming experience. We have tested various monitors to find the best ones for gaming, and we believe these 4 are one of the top contenders. With amazing features and great prices, these monitors will surely give you the edge in your next gaming session.\nWe hope you like our review and that it helps you decide which monitor is perfect for your needs.

So what really are these little balls, why are they so magical and what can you do with them?\nThese water beads are made from a water-absorbing polymer (Sodium Polyacrylate to be exact) that causes the beads to grow to many many times their original size and weight as they absorb water. The original purpose of water beads was to provide long-lasting hydration for plants and flower arrangements, but because they are so pretty and fascinating to touch, they are now used for other decorative purposes as well as for educational sensory play. On safety, please note that these beads are non-toxic, but are not edible, so please keep away from children who are still putting things in their mouth.\nI personally love how they feel and enjoy running my fingers through the water beads and exploring different ways to play with them as much as my children. It's a combination of their smooth slippery texture, translucent candy colors, and bouncy round shape that makes water beads perfect for engaging and versatile sensory play.\nBelow are some ideas for water beads play, I'm sure there are many others that we have not tried, do drop me a note if you have other ideas to share!\n1. Be fascinated as you watch the water beads grow\nPhoto credit: Klara Koh\n- Add water to the dried beads and watch as the water beads absorb water and grow\n- You can document the process with your child, like in the above picture\n- It is also visually interesting to add new dried beads to a tub of full grown beads, observe the contrast in size at the start and watch the small beads slowly grow to match the full grown ones in size.\n2. Enjoy the sensation of the water beads and learn their characteristics\n- Run your fingers through the water beads.\n- Vary the experience by adjusting the level of (excess) water in the water bead tub. My children enjoy playing with it in both its 'dry' and 'wet' forms, and we go between the two.\n- Pick up a single water bead and describe it - \"smooth\" (or \"bumpy\" for the ones that are not yet full-grown), \"slippery\", \"translucent\", \"clear\" or the color of the bead etc\n- For younger children, picking up a water bead with fingers is a challenge in itself, especially when you have more water in the tub such that the water beads are \"swimming\" in the water.\n3. Scoop and pour using a variety of scoops and containers\n- Let the child start with just a few tools, such as just one spoon and cup, so as not to overwhelm them.\n- Switch tools when the child has mastered the first set. Can move from using a spoon to the handy scooper (great for practicing the scissor motion) to increase level of difficulty.\n4. Admire their colors over a light table or against a bright background\nPhoto credit: Shelley Berstein\n- While most of us don't have easy access to a light table, you can improvise one by placing a string of Christmas lights or ball lights in a translucent box (like included in our play set) or a transparent table (like in the picture above) and then placing the water beads on top. The results are simply gorgeous.\n- I must admit I have not yet tried the above (because my Christmas lights are hidden too deep in my storeroom!), but what we have done is place a lamp below our water beads box and shine it upwards and I think it works pretty well too! (see picture below). This works for us because we have a special custom table which holds up our sensory boxes. You could similarly place your translucent box over a low glass table and put a lamp below it.\n- Other than being really lovely to look at, this activity allows kids to appreciate the translucent nature of the water beads by observing how light shines through them. To provide greater contrast, you can place some opaque shapes under the water beads on the light table as well.\n5. Drop beads into a deep container and watch them bounce\n- The beads look like jelly but they can actually bounce pretty high! Hence I emphasize a deep container, otherwise you could end up with water beads bouncing all over your home!\n- Dropping it into a tall glass is a good place to start. You can place a tall glass in the middle of the tub of water beads and drop the beads one at a time into the glass. It's great fun to see how many bounce out of the glass and how many stay in it.\n6. Let beads roll down bead slides, other ball drop toys, or improvise with plastic bottles and tubes\n- Something about watching little balls rolling down slides or other fixed paths just spells fun.\n- These simple suction foam slides have provided my kids and I with much entertainment. It's not all that easy to find an arrangement that works as the beads can fly off the slides if they go too fast and the angle is not right, but once you find a right arrangement, you get great satisfaction watching the beads roll down the slides, and even more if they drop nicely into the container at the end of the slide.\n- You could also try dropping the water beads down ball or marble drop toys you might have at home, but they typically need to be pretty steep for the water beads to roll well.\n- If you are feeling more adventurous, you could try building your own water bead maze using plastic bottles or tubes, similar to this: http://www.funathomewithkids.com/2013/02/funnels-tubes-and-salt-oh-my.html\n7. Sort water beads by color or layer them to make a pretty arrangement\n- The water beads come in beautiful colors and your children can practice their color recognition and develop their fine motor skills by sorting the water beads by color.\n- Plastic mineral bottles are great for the sorting activity as you can turn them into color themed discovery bottles afterward (see point 8 below).\n- Older children may enjoy turning the water bead arrangement into a decor or art piece by layering different colors in turn in a tall clear glass or vase.\n8. Make a discovery bottle\n- Fill a plastic bottle about 2/3 full with hydrated water beads, add glitter if desired, then fill to the brim with water. Seal the bottle with a hot glue gun or a lot of tape (which I've done here because I don't have a glue gun!).\n- This bottle is great for taking on the go and can entertain even the littlest ones.\n- It's nice and weighty to hold, the colors are beautiful to look at especially when held up against the light, and it's calming to watch the glitter and water beads drift down and settle.\n9. Make an ocean-themed sensory tub\n- Water beads are great for the ocean theme given they are water-based and come in lovely translucent colors. Our ocean mix combines water beads in different shades of blue, turquoise, clear and white and creates the perfect picture of the great blue ocean.\n- Build a realistic ocean 'small world', by adding ocean animal figurines, seaweed, corals, shells, boats etc. Children can learn the names of the different sea creatures, enjoy moving the sea creatures around the tub, making bubbling sounds as they move etc.\n- To vary the sensory experience, you can add more water to tub for a \"wetter\" ocean, and allow the sea creatures to really \"swim\" in the tub.\n- Another fun possibility is to add sand or little stones to the tub, to serve as the ocean floor, or form a little beach or island. The stones and sand help to enhance the realism of the ocean 'small world' and also adds an extra dimension to the sensory experience. This works best when there is more water in the tub as the sand and stones can fall through the water beads to the bottom of the box.\n10. Make a water bead water balloon\n- I just came across this idea recently and have not yet tried it out, but it certainly sounds like fun!\n- Basically, you place a handful of dried water beads into a balloon with a funnel (use a water balloon as they are smaller, you can get them at Daiso), then fill up the balloon with water. As the water beads inside absorb water and grow, the water balloon will transform and become wonderfully bumpy and squishy!\n- You could also try to freeze the water bead balloons for some frozen fun on a hot day\n- Read more here: http://www.learnplayimagine.com/2013/07/frozen-water-beads-in-water-balloons.html\n11. Water beads and essential oils\n- Water beads are a great way of exposing your child to the benefits of essential oils (only those that are safe for children of course) while keeping the children engaged through sensory play.\n- Make a calming sensory tub by adding a few drops of lavender essential oil to the water before adding the dried water beads. In a couple hours your child will be able to enjoy the calming scent of lavendar while playing with the water beads in whatever way he likes.\n- Other essential oils that may be suitable for adding to a water bead sensory play tub are lemon, eucalyptus and peppermint. If your child is down with a blocked or runny nose, these could help your child breathe better while they busy themselves with the water beads.\n- Alternatively, you can make an essential oil diffuser with water beads as well by adding a few drops of essential oil to the water before you grow the water beads. Use a pretty glass container and choose the colors of water beads to taste and this could be an attractive decor piece while diffusing the goodness of the essential oils over the next few days. Essential oils will need to be reapplied every 2 to 3 days.", "domain": "hobby"}

There are several card kinds to pick from. Create the ones that you need or that appeal to you the most. Consider birthday, anniversary, children’s cards, wedding, condolence, holiday, or get well cards.\n2. To get started with the design, you’ll need suitable paper. Pre-folded cards are available, or you may use paper and fold your own. Using a bone folder is advantageous in this case because it creates a very neat fold. There are numerous sizes available; ensure you have an envelope in the appropriate size or are prepared to construct one. There are several templates available for this sort of project.\n3. Then, for the image on the front of the card, pick a sticker or rubber stamp. If you’re using stamps, experiment with several colour stamp pads until you find a pattern and colour that you like. To make a more attractive design, overlay the stickers or stamped images on other paper. Consider combining plain and patterned paper for this phase.\n4. You may use decorations in place of a stamp or sticker. These are often three-dimensional and significantly enhance the style of your card.\n5. Ensure that you have the proper adhesives. Consider the glue you want to use very carefully. While a glue gun is effective for heavier materials, it will wrinkle most papers. Glue dots and strips come in helpful for a variety of design-related glueing tasks. I especially enjoy the glue stick labelled “heavy-duty,” since it works well with nearly any kind of paper and dries smooth and clear.\n6. Next, create the words. Consider the message you want the card to convey. Which side of the card do you want the greeting or message on? This may be accomplished using rubber stamps, stickers, or computer-generated greetings. There are several typefaces accessible, which means that each card may be unique.\n7. Layout your design on the card before attaching the other pieces. Verify that everything fits well and that you like the design. Glue everything in place and check to ensure that all components are secure.\n8. Now turn your attention to the interior of your card. If you’re going to include a message, consider overlaying it on another piece of paper to coordinate with the design on the front of your card. Attach these components to the card’s inside.\n9. Take a look at the whole card now. How do you feel about the design? Does it need any more embellishments, such as colourful brads or buttons? Is there a section of the design that might benefit from being coloured in with markers, coloured pencils, chalks, or watercolours?\n10. I think that a card is not complete until the fibre is added to both the interior and the outside. Tie two or three strands of complementary ribbon, yarn, metallic thread, or wire into a knot, matching the colours in the pattern. Trim the ends to the desired length. Attach with your glue gun and the card is complete. Please, the envelope! To complete your design, customize the envelope to fit the card. Utilize your markers, chalk, stickers, and stamps to make an envelope as lovely as the contents!!\nIn a matter of minutes, you can make a one-of-a-kind card and envelope using your own design.", "domain": "hobby"}

With the enormous amount of opportunities to take wonderful photographs, this article takes a look at how to capture images of wildlife, landscapes and the activities you enjoy whilst on safari as well. Most people believe it’s only the wildlife that you will photograph when on safari, but in reality there is so much more than that.\nIt can be hard to not take images of every encounter you have, and rightly so, but think about what images you have already got. For example, you come across a pride of lions. The first thing people do is zoom in and try and get a headshot of the lion, but once you have that photograph think about the bigger picture. Zooming out will give your collection of images context, showing where you saw those lions. Rather than having 100 headshots, create 20 varied images showing behaviour, environment and detail. This can be applied at all wildlife sightings you may have. You have gone all that way to see these animals in the wild, show that.\nThe vast majority of camps offer wildlife drives, and this tends to be the most common activity. However, many camps will offer all sorts of different activities as well. These could include boat / canoe rides, sundowners, quad biking, hot air balloons, walking safaris and many others. Capturing these in photographs can be difficult as you find you might have lots of similar images. Try telling the story through images as if you were explaining it to friends back home.\nFor a sundowner, take an image of the setup, a picture of you and then the landscape you are overlooking. Boat rides, get creative with angles. You are limited to what you can do so try thinking out of the box. Hold the camera just above the water looking towards the front of the boat, or hold the camera above your head to get a higher perspective of the boat and those with you.\nCapturing images of your guides (with their consent) is always a lovely reminder of who helped create these wonderful memories for you. In the moments where you have more time to consider angles and compositions, try and get creative. Use foreground interest and take pictures through bushes or leave to add an artistic look to the image.\nThink about if you have only taken images that are zoomed all the way in, maybe vary your focal length to create different feeling images. Try not to get stuck in taking pictures in the same way over and over again. Simple tricks such as getting lower or higher perspectives, zooming in and out and different light will help add diversity to the final collection of images you take home.\nThroughout the continent there are a variety of mesmerising landscapes. Try to think about what it is you like most about the view, is it the distant mountains or open spaces. All landscapes taken with a wider lens, between 24mm – 70mm, will be elevated if you have something in the foreground. This could be a fallen tree leading your eye to the distant point of interest. Having a foreground will help add depth to an image and add scale to distant objects. You can even get out and use the safari vehicle (safety allowing – always check with your guide first) to help add scale to the image.\nAgain, think about the pictures you have already taken, try and make them look different from each other. This could be by adding a different foreground or changing your focal length. By zooming into distant scenes you add scale. For example, if there was a mountain range or distant rolling hills, by zooming in you increase the size of the landscape within the photo, rather than using a wide lens which will make the distant features looks small. Try zooming in and out when photographing a landscape to see the effect it has on the photo.\nWildlife tends not to sit still for long, well unless you are photographing sleepy lions! Having a fast shutter speed will be helpful to freeze the action. Having a shutter speed of 1/500 – 1/2000 will be a good starting point. If the subject is slowly walking you can use 1/500. However, if you are photographing a hunt or birds in flight, a shutter speed of 1/2000 is going to capture the action with sharper results. In order to get these exposures, set your shutter speed and use the ISO to make the exposure look correct.\nFor example, you are photographing a pair of Lilac Breasted Rollers flying around; set your shutter speed to 1/2000, your aperture is f/5.6, making your ISO 1000 for the image to look correctly exposed. Always look on the back of your camera to make sure the images look good before you get immersed into the moment, clicking away without realising all the images are under exposed.\nAnother way of doing this is setting your shutter speed and aperture and making your ISO auto. This way you know whenever you pick up the camera you will have a correct exposure, while being able to freeze any action that might happen. As the light fades, slowly reduce your shutter speed as to not have too high an ISO, which will make the images very grainy. This is something that can be fixed in editing afterwards, but a blurry image cannot be fixed.\nTaking photographs of the sights and experiences provide wonderful aide-memoires for years to come of all that you enjoyed during your holiday, taking you back to a specific moment. Remember as well to put your camera down and absorb the sights, sounds and smells sometimes; you won’t regret it.\nIf you would like more information on holidays to Africa, or have questions for Felix, please get in touch to discuss your wishes. We would be delighted to help you put together a fabulous holiday.", "domain": "hobby"}

According to the official website, the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve has a rich and diverse history due largely to the search for a sea route to the East, around the tip of Africa.\n“Portuguese explorer Bartholomeu Dias was the first to round the Cape Peninsula in 1488. He named it the ‘Cape of Storms’, for the notoriously bad weather… A decade later, Vasco da Gama navigated the same route and sailed down the coast of Africa, successfully opening a new trading route for Europe with India and the Far East. King John II of Portugal later renamed it the ‘Cape of Good Hope’ because of the great optimism engendered by the opening of this new sea route to India and the East.”\nHow to get there\nThe Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve is located about 70 km from the city centre. There are really only two ways to get to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve. The first is to follow the Main Road (M4) through, Muizenberg, Kalk Bay, Fish Hoek and Simon’s Town. The second is to take the route over Oukaapseweg and through Sun Valley and then to join with the Main Road (M4) in Glencairn. There is the option to travel over Red Hill instead of travelling through the center of Simon’s Town, but that route is a bit isolated and a little less safe than the marginally slower option through Simon’s Town itself.

This is where you will do the last bit of admin, get the keys for the overnight hut, sort out your slack packing baggage and park your car before you start your hiking journey through this beautiful reserve.\nOpening Times and contact information:\nThe opening times of the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve for hiking, as on 01 January 2020, are:\n|Monday – Sunday||06h00 – 18h00 [Oct – March]|\n|Monday – Sunday||07h00 – 17h00 [Apr – Sept]|\n|Standard Conservation Fee:||Adults: R320 Child: R160 [2-11 yrs]|\n|SA Citizens (Discounted Rate)||Adults: R80 Child: R40 [2-11 yrs]|\n|SADC Nationals||Adults: R160 Child: R80 [2-11 yrs]|\nIn order to qualify for the discounted rate, SA citizens will need to produce their SA ID cards or green ID book or SA driving license. For SADC Nationals you will need to produce your passport.\nFor general inquiries contact: +27 (0)21 7809010\nEmail: [email protected]\nNo dogs are allowed in the reserve or on any of the hiking trails.\nBookings and Costs for the Hike\nThe hike itself costs R400 per person.\nThe daily conservation fee is R80 per person per day (SA citizens) unless you have a Wild Card, then there is no fee. We actually decided to buy a Wild Card specifically for this hike. The first time we hiked this route, it would have cost us almost the same amount for the daily conservation fee for the both of us, as an entire year’s valid Wild Card. In 2019, they reduced the fees for SA Citizens so it’s slightly more affordable without a Wild Card. With the Wild Card we purchased, we have 1 year’s access to all parks in the country for R1 055. SANParks has different Wild Card packages which you can find here. Click this link to buy a Wild Card online.\nSlack Packing Option\nYou can choose to do this hike as a slack-packing trail as well, which all of our group decided to do. The fee (as on 01 January 2020) for this hike is R235 for 6 bags/items or less per hut. Thereafter it is R107 per additional bag/item over and above 6 bags/items. They will transport two bags of charcoal for free. Wood fires are not permitted on the reserve and that includes at the overnight huts. The portage fee is payable, in cash, at the Security Office located on the extreme left as you enter at the Main Gate, before you start the hike. If you don’t have the cash, you have the option of paying with a card at the boom gate for the portage and the SANParks official will give you the cash to take to the security office. You will be issued with a receipt immediately or one will be brought to your hut.\nOn booking the hike, you will be emailed an information sheet for the hike. There is a specific section relating to portage, and which items are and are not permitted. We used two very large duffel bags and placed all of our loose items (sleeping bags, small cooler bags and other items) in them.\nBookings for the Cape of Good Hope Overnight Hike can be made through the Buffelsfontein Visitors Center. Visit their website for more information. We struggled to get hold of them on the phone so it would be better to email them – [email protected]\nThe contact number for the Buffelsfontein Visitors Center on their website is no longer working. You will need to contact the Tokai office on (021) 712 7471 to make a booking.\nThe number for the 24 hr control room, located at the main gate is (021) 780 9100 or you can call 086 110 6417. Please take note that the cell phone reception in the reserve is patchy.\nBrief Overview of Fauna and Flora in the Reserve\nAccording to the Cape Town Magazine website, the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve “is 7750 hectares of wild coves, shimmering tidal pools, fynbos-covered valleys and diverse flora and fauna. There are 250 different bird species that make the area home, 1100 indigenous plant species whose roots burrow deep into the soil, a broad assortment of animal life that ranges from the nearly extinct bontebok to the deadly Cape cobra…”\nWe saw a huge variety of fauna and flora on our hike, some of which we had never seen before (see the photos in The Nitty Gritty section of this post)\nThe Speedy Review [tl;dr]\nFeel like a 2 day hiking getaway without having to travel too far out of the city? Then the Cape of Good Hope Overnight Trail is for you.\nThe terrain is fairly easy and mostly flat, however the distances each day are quite long. You will need to be relatively fit to be able to enjoy this hike, as there are some tricky sections, and Day 2 has long stretches of the trail where you walk on beach sand which can get very tiring if your legs are not used to it. The wind and heat are important factors to consider when you book this hike, make sure you pick a time of year where the weather is going to be conducive to hiking long distances. There is very little shelter on both days, so you will be exposed to the sun, wind and rain for most of the day.\nThe overnight hut provides an extremely comfortable overnight resting spot, with a gas geyser for hot showers, comfortable beds and a well-equipped kitchen and braai area. The views are magnificent, and you can watch the sun-rise and sun-set from the comfort of your top-bunk or chair. There are 3 overnight huts that each sleep 6 people (Protea, Restio and Erica Huts)\nThis hike is well worth the fee, and a group of between 6 -12 people is recommended.\nYou have the option of doing either of the days first. Both times we have hiked this trail, we hiked the shorter day first (14km) and the longer day on Day 2 (20km). This leaves a relatively lengthy uphill/downhill for the end of the second day. You can, however, do the route the other way around. Our recommendation would be to look at the weather predictions and wind speeds for the days you plan on hiking this trail, and decide from there which day you will complete first.\nIf you are pressed for time and would prefer to watch a short video of the hike, have a look below:\nNina rated this trail 0/5 paw prints, because there are no dogs allowed in the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve. She spent the night with her grandparents instead, and was spoiled rotten (as usual)\nThe Nitty Gritty\nWe first hiked this route on Boxing Day in 2017. We were invited by our cousins, and some family friends also joined us. We made up a hiking party of 12 which is a really good number for a hiking party. It’s not too small to warrant concern for safety on the trail and not too large that there is a danger of losing someone along the way.\nWe did this hike again on 31 December 2019 – 01 January 2020 with a smaller group of 6 hikers.\nUnlike other hikes we have done in the past where it is ‘every person for themselves’ in terms of food, our cousin very cleverly organised that each person in the group brought something specific. This ensured there were no duplicates, but we had ALL the food we needed (and then some). It was delicious and a really good way to spread the load. We will definitely consider doing this in future for similar hikes. The second time we hiked this, we gave some guidelines to the hiking party on what food to bring, but each person sorted themself for catering.\nThis trail offers the option to slack pack on both days. The Reserve allows a limited amount of baggage to be transported to the overnight hut ahead of you and will bring the bags back to the start at the main entrance gate. I had mixed feelings about slack packing, but have grown more fond of the concept the older I get. They will drop off your bags at the overnight hut at about 09h00 on the first day and collect them from the hut around the same time the next day and return them to the main gate.\nThe first time that I did this hike, I chose to carry all my supplies and equipment with me, but handed over the communal food to be transported by vehicle to the overnight hut. Belinda chose to hand over her pillow and some warm clothes, but carried everything else, including 3 litres of water in her hydration bladder. Those 3 litres of water were key to staying the course late on Day 2 of the hike. When I look back on this hike, the limited slack pack option worked out well as far as the food was concerned, because each item was purchased in bulk to feed all of us. It would have made little sense for me to carry 3 loaves of bread, a brick of butter and a packet of marshmallows in my bag to feed me for two days (also…. carbs!). The second time we hiked this trail, we filled a large duffel bag with our sleeping bags, pillows, extra clothes and other smaller items that we would only need at the hut. It made the trail more enjoyable, having only a small amount in our day packs.\nWe began hiking at 07h45 from the main entrance gate and headed straight up the tar road. About 10 minutes and 715 m later, we turned left on to a marked trail that led us into a gravel parking lot. The trail continued on the other side of the parking lot.\nOn the second occasion of doing this hike (Dec 2019/Jan 2020), we left a little earlier at 07h20 which was better and we walked along the tar road until we reached the gravel parking area on the left and then turned off and followed the trail. It felt a lot easier doing it that way.\nThe trail took us up an increasingly steep incline with views of the rocky peninsula below us to our left. At 08h49, the trail started to turn towards the right and across a saddle towards Kanonkop. The distance covered to that point was 2.75 km with an altitude of 251 m and a moving time of 50 minutes. That was the first time that the overnight huts come into view on the trail. They were still very far away, but we then had a visual image of our overnight spot.\nAt 09h00, we stopped for a short break in the company of a few large boulders. We had covered a distance of 3 km which had taken us about an hour and a half to hike. At 09h10, we crossed another saddle and walked along a rocky outcrop. The wind was very strong at that point which made a few of us a little nervous about walking so close to the edge. Fortunately it was an onshore South Easterly and the worst case scenario would be that one of us would take off and land further inland in a thorny thicket. We had to hold onto our hats in the strong wind (losing them a few times along the way) and eventually opted for a buff to protect us from the sun as it was more steadfast in the wind.\nThe second time we did this hike, the wind was also strong and gusting, but we were grateful to have it as the temperatures were high throughout the hike.\nAt 09h45, we stopped for another break with Kanonkop standing tall ahead of us. By that time, we had covered a distance of 4.3 km with a moving time of 01h30m.\nAt 10h32, we stopped again for a break at an old cannon. The old cannon is about 6 km into the hike, and at the pace we were walking, takes about 02h45m to reach (including breaks) [Elevation 234 m]. We encountered a very curious lizard there who didn’t mind getting its picture being taken. At 10h45, we headed off on the trail again into the very strong wind.\nAt about 11h20, the trail started to move away from the coast and head inland toward the Buffelsfontein Visitor’s Center [8.2 km]. At that point, we had a clear view of the Da Gama Cross.\nAt 11h23, we crossed over the tar road leading to Bordjiesdrif. This is a lovely swimming and braaing spot in the reserve. The trail was marked on the tar surface with yellow painted shoe prints going in the opposite direction. At 11h30, we crossed over a wooden bridge which signaled our arrival at the Buffelsfontein Visitor’s Center. The distance to that point was 9.1 km with a moving time of 02h50m.\nThere is no water on the trail so the Buffelsfontein Visitor’s Center is not only a good place for a break, but it is also an opportunity to fill up your water bottles. A few of our hiking party took advantage of the *small coffee shop to order coffee, cold drinks and sandwiches. There is also an interesting exhibition room and museum that has displays of the local fauna and flora. The toilet facilities were top notch and clean. Belinda and I took advantage of the shade and closed our eyes for a few minutes.\n*Sadly when we did the hike for the second time, we learned that the small coffee shop had closed down and there were no longer refreshments offered at the Visitors’ Centre. We all felt that SANParks is missing out on an opportunity not only to draw more people to the Visitors’ Centre by having a coffee shop, but also it would keep them there for longer so that they could really experience the interesting displays that the Visitors’ Centre has to offer. One example is a display on the SS Thomas T. Tucker, a Liberty ship that ran aground in the reserve. The wreck is still visible today and forms the focal point of the Shipwreck Trail. You can read more about the Shipwreck Trail here.\nAt 12h27, we started off on the trail again which continued on the other side of the Buffelsfontein Visitor’s Center parking lot. Not too long after we followed the path from the Visitor’s Center, we encountered the Buffelsfontein baboon troop coming towards us on the path. Our cousin used to track and observe this baboon troop during her tertiary studies and had already given us a rundown of how we should behave if we were to encounter a baboon troop. The most important of these guidelines was that we had to step out of the path of the baboons and not to make direct eye contact with any of them. All food items, cameras, and phones had to be packed away and we all had to try our best not to be worthy of closer inspection by any of the baboons. Basically look away and be boring. I surprised myself by how easily I could do that.\nAll seemed to go smoothly and the alpha male was about to pass by all of us when a baby baboon started shrieking. It appeared that either someone wasn’t following the baboon guidelines or the baby was bored and wanted to see what would happen if it stirred things up a bit. None of us were anywhere near the baby baboon, but the alpha male decided that we had something to do with the baby’s apparent distress and charged at two of our hiking party. Lindsay said it was a mock charge, but I am not sure the two hikers thought they were being mocked. Perhaps I misunderstood the meaning of the word. Luckily both hikers remained calm and stood their ground and the alpha male turned and followed his troop past the rest of us. That was until he decided to climb a tree right behind Belinda and begin a 15-minute inspection of her backpack and personal belongings while we all did our best mannequin challenge poses. I managed to take a photo of Belinda behind me while I was still facing forward. Belinda did well and kept calm and eventually, the alpha male moved off and we could continue with our hike physically unscathed.\n[Photo credit to Adriaan for the contextualized ‘Baboon behind Belinda’ photo]\nAt 12h40, we crossed over another tar road and headed slightly to the right before entering the fynbos again [10.4 km]. We were descending nicely towards the sea, and the elevation at that point was 51 m.\nAt 14h00, the trail started to ascend toward the overnight huts. Five minutes later, we arrived at the Southern Right whale viewing spot. We spent a few minutes there, but there were no whales to speak of. I did manage to take a photo of a rather colourful Southern Rock Agama instead.\nAfter leaving the Southern Right whale viewing site, we walked up a wooden staircase and into a parking lot. Following the yellow shoe prints across the tar, we ascended the last stretch of the trail toward the overnight huts.\nWe reached the overnight huts at 14h32 after covering a distance of 14.5 km. The total moving time for the day was 04h20m with a total hiking time of 06h45m. You can allocate between 6-7 hours for the 14km leg of this hike, and 7-8 hours for the 20km day, depending which way round you do it.\nThe Overnight Hut\nWhen you get the keys for the overnight hut before starting the hike, you will know which hut you will be sleeping in. Erica hut is hut furthest to the right, and is separate from the others. You will need to look for the signboards for the hut you have been allocated.\nThe overnight hut is a brick building that is divided into two sleeping quarters called Restio and Protea. Each sleeping quarters had 3 double bunk beds. There is an ablution facility on the extreme left and a kitchen and eating area on the extreme right, next to the outdoor braai. The hut is in good condition and the mattresses were comfortable. The kitchen is fully kitted out, so you don’t need to bring any cutlery or crockery with you.\nThere are other buildings that are dotted around the overnight hut that are in varying degrees of disrepair. None appear to be in use. It seems such a shame that they are not being used to their full potential considering where they are situated in the Reserve. Perhaps SAN Parks could look into renovating them to increase the number of people that are able to do the overnight hike or to improve the overall hiking experience for the 12 – 18 hikers that can currently do the trail each day.\nThe hut is fitted with a solar lighting system which is set to switch on when it gets dark. There is also a gas-geyser, so you can have a very welcome hot shower once you have finished hiking for the day. Just remember to use water sparingly. There are instructions in the hut for using the lights and geyser.\nThe braai area is really nice, and easily fitted the 12 of us in a circle, where we chatted about the days’ adventures.\nHere is an idea of the food we took with us (with thanks to Lindsay for organising such a tasty menu):\n- Bag of potatoes, a dozen eggs, bottle of mayonnaise, 4L milk\n- Lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, feta\n- 100g instant coffee, cheddar cheese\n- Boerewors, pork bangers, 18 x hot dog rolls, 1L plain yoghurt\n- 18 x chicken kebabs, 2 x bags of apples, naartjies & bananas\n- Tea, sugar, salt, 1 bag marshmallows, kebab sticks, butter, 3 x loaves of bread\nWe each carried our own lunch for the first day, and then used left-overs from the braai to make sandwiches and some snacks for lunch on Day 2.\nThe views from the hut are spectacular. Be sure to watch the sunset, you won’t be sorry.\nProtea & Restio Huts\nOn the second occasion that we did this hike, we were only a group of 6 hikers. We were assigned to Erica which is the hut on the extreme right, on its own somewhat. Here is a look at how it is put together:\nJust above the Erica Hut are the remains of an observation post built in the days before South Africa’s secretive coastal radar station was up and running during WW2. They were apparently built strong enough to survive bombardment from enemy ships, long enough to alert friendly forces to repel the attack. Do yourself a favour and go and have a look at it. It still has most of its defensive battlements.\nWe began hiking the next day at 08h25. The official website recommends that hikers leave the overnight hut before 09h00 in order to be able to complete the 20.5 km before dark. We retraced our steps to the tar road, turned left [385 m] and headed down toward the main thoroughfare through the Reserve.\nAt 08h40, we walked around a wooden boom gate and crossed the tar road and into the fynbos on the other side [785 m]. It only took us 15 minutes to reach that point. A Cape Sugar bird paid us a visit while I waited for Belinda to take off a few layers. It was forecast to be a fairly mild day, but it was already hot that time of the morning. This was the first bird I had seen on the trail since we started the hike the previous morning. We got to see an Eland not too far from the path on our right hand side. A tourist minibus stopped as well and reversed toward the Eland for a closer look.\nAt 08h57, we walked across another tar road marked by the number 7 trail marker [1.8 km]. We spotted two ostriches to our left. The female was standing just off the tar road and the male was lying down in the fynbos.\nAt 09h23, we reached a brick building adjacent to a parking lot. It turned out to be an ablution block and it was open. Some of the group were opposed to looking this gift horse in the mouth and popped inside to do the necessary. The rest of us walked around the right hand side of the block and headed across the parking lot to to a wooden staircase that led down to the beach. There was no signage indicating which way the trail went although it was assumed that it would be to the right. Half of our hiking party chose to turn immediately right and hike across the sand dunes, while the other half decided to walk straight across to the water line and then turn right. We followed the shore line for a short distance and then joined with a grassed path just a little further inland.\nThose of us that went straight were spoiled by a rich and varied display of bird life perched on the rocks in the surf line. These later also included a female ostrich and her 4 youngsters. Higher up on the slopes of the hill to our right we got to see a herd of 5 Eland grazing.\nThis was also turning out to be a comprehensive baboon encounter filled hike. As we walked along the shoreline, we noticed a lone large male baboon on the path. He moved off and headed up the fynbos covered hill on our right-hand side and watched as we walked past. Our thinking was that he was making sure that the coast was clear so that he could bring the rest of his troop down for a swim. The path took us through a section of boulders which was made easier by a few kind souls who had lined the boulders on either side to show the way.\nWe continued walking a short distance from the high water mark and had to negotiate our way through a few bush tunnels. I had to bend my knees so much and crouch so far forward to get through these tunnels that my mind took me back to a previous Impi Challenge I did a couple of years back. There was a reason why I only did it once. It felt like I had run up a mountain without stopping after the unannounced obstacle course on the trail. I didn’t take a photo of them, but I did take a photo of the maze section through the bushes that followed immediately afterward.\nA large portion of this part of the hike was good training for the Fish River Canyon hike which we are doing again in May this year. Lots of loose sand and rocks, very hot, dry and exposed.\nAt about 11h40, the trail began to dog-leg to the right and move away from the beach. The distance covered to that point was about 8.8 km with a moving time of 02h15m. The total hiking time to that point was 03h25m. A few minutes later, we came to a sign that indicated left to the shipwreck and right for the Overnight trail. We turned right and the terrain changed quite dramatically from what we had being seeing on the shoreline. It became much drier, but we still seemed to be walking on beach sand although darker in colour. We did spot a Bontebok and an Eland just off the path to our right-hand side quite soon after heading inland.\nAt 12h00, we decided to have a break for lunch. We found a good spot just off the path and out of the sun in a cluster of large boulders. It also happens to be just around the halfway mark, as by this stage we had walked 10km [Moving time – 02h30m; Total time – 03h45m; Elevation – 44m] Belinda and I enjoyed sandwiches with leftover chicken kebab and a loose pork sausage each, followed by a boiled egg and a thick slice of cheese. Now I can tell you that it was not easy getting up from that meal, but we were only around halfway and there was a lot of hiking still to be done.\nAt 13h10, we crossed over a private tar road after covering a distance of 12.0 km. It had taken us around 5 hours to reach that point with a moving time of 3 hours.\nAt 14h05, we came to a t-junction in the path [15 km]. The left path went to Olifantsbos, while the right directed us to the Main Gate. There was a dry salt pan or dam on our left-hand side with a lone eland standing in the middle of it. After turning right, we walked along a long and pencil straight path toward the Main gate and the two koppies [small hills] between us and the end of the trail. Johann, one of the hiking party, had warned us that there would be 2 ascents near the end of the hike, when we were tired and our legs were weary. They didn’t seem too high when we could see them in the distance, but hiking up them after nearly 20km in the heat was not as easy as we thought it would be.\nAt 14h45, we reached a gravel road and crossed over it [17 km]. At 14h50, we crossed a tar road at the base of the first koppie [17.3 km]. The elevation at that point was 81 m. At 15h36, we reached the trig beacon at the summit of the first koppie [268 m]. The distance covered to that point was 19.0 km and took a total of 07h20m. The elevation gain for that koppie was 187 m.\nAt 15h47, we reached the middle point between the two koppies [218 m] with a hiking distance of 19.4 km and total hiking time of 07h33m. We summited the second koppie at 16h00 [273 m]. The elevation gain for that koppie was 55 m with a total hiking distance of 20.0 km. The trail to the summit of the second koppie is not straight up – it is more of a terraced and winding trail so there are some flat sections for you to rest your legs.\nAt 16h20, we arrived back at the main entrance gate after hiking a total distance of 20.8 km which took us a smidgen over 8 hours to complete. Although the distance on day 2 was slightly longer than the average overnight hike, it was doable due to the relatively level terrain. The two koppies at the end were just a reminder to us all that a hike is never over until it is.\nWe collected our ported items from the office at the main entrance, said our good-byes and made our way home for a hot shower, and cuddle with Nina and a good night’s rest in our own bed.\nThe Cape of Good Hope Overnight Hiking Trail is very well signposted on the first day. The same cannot be said for the second day, but if you keep your wits about you and follow the path it is not easy to get lost. We walked the trail in a roughly clockwise direction as advised by the Reserve staff, but for some reason the trail signage directed us in the opposite direction. We kept having to look behind us to see what the signs said. This is not an uncommon feature of South African National Parks signage so it didn’t bother us too much. A quick tut tut and a chuckle under our breath and it became a non-issue.\nHere are the hiking stats for this overnight trail:\n|Trip Odometer||14.5 km|\n|Moving Average||3.3 km/h|\n|Overall Average||2.2 km/h|\n|Max Speed||9.8 km/h|\n|Trip Odometer||20.8 km|\n|Moving Average||3.7 km/h|\n|Overall Average||2.6 km/h|\n|Max Speed||9.3 km/h|\nI have attached a GPS trip log for the hike.

This is happening a lot later than we’d have liked due to supply chain issues. However, the initial testing of the power supplies seems to be positive.\nCategory Archives: Technology\nFirst custom designed sensor\nThis project has required the design and development of several custom sensors. This is the first one to have been built. It uses 5 one-wire temperature sensors attached to an AVR. The AVR then runs code to interface with the sensors. In order to connect to the main sensor node the AVR uses RS-485. This means that it can be away from the main node, and because of the multi-drop nature of RS-485 multiple such devices could be attached. The other sensor nodes also interface using RS-485 so each node could have different types of remote sensor attached.\nCC1120 Contiki port\nThe first batch of PCBs to be used in the project have been created. These boards will take a 12V input and give a 5V 2A output. These will be useful for powering devices in the first tests that are carried out. There are a few more boards on the way including 5V 250mA boards, which will also be used for testing and powering external peripherals.\nRange testing 868MHz radio links\nI just did a quick range test with the CC1120 transceivers (our favourite for range):\nat 2.2km it is easy to link even with omni antennas (-99dB) but a yagi was excellent (-89dB).\nAt 3.3km (not in good line of sight and grazing wet ground) Yagi to omni was starting to loose packets (-106dB) and yagi to panel antenna was not much better but still communicating. This bodes well for a low power 868MHz network over the whole field site including our 3km link up from the valley.\nThis was at 50kbit/s using the CC1120DK TI test boards.\nbig round Omni was 4dBi gain\nYagi tested was 9 dBi gain\nPanel was 7dBi gain", "domain": "hobby"}

Can you increase your chances of winning? Won’t that take away the appeal of the game? Don’t go anywhere, we have the answers!\nEver since the game was established back in the 17th century, it has spread far and wide, attracting many loyal players. Today, Roulette is a fan favorite among the beginners as well as the many high-rollers, which is proof of its appeal. When you first approach the Roulette table, you should know the layout, which is quite easy to master.\nBasically, you have numbers ranging from 1 to 36 written in two colors—red and black—and a 0 (or both a 0 and a 00) that represents the house edge which decreases your chances of landing that win. However, this should not discourage you; especially since every single game has to have some sort of edge. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be as fun to play. Besides, casinos have to make some money too, right?\nThrough the years, many players and experts have tried to create strategies that will help them win, but none of them are foolproof. However, keep in mind that the Random Number Generator makes sure that the game is fair. That is why we have studied some tips you can actually apply to make this casino game more enjoyable, so keep on reading!\nKnow the Edges\nWhat is the main difference between the three most popular Roulette versions? The first thing you will notice is the difference in the layouts of the tables. Namely, the addition of a 0 in the European Roulette, as well as the 00 if you play the American Roulette, make it that more challenging.\nSince the European version has only one 0, the house advantage is smaller than the American, so keep that in mind before sitting down at a table. In addition, the French Roulette has the lowest house edge among all the Roulette versions. Meaning, you will definitely be tempted to play it!\nRoulette was actually created in France, where it quickly became a phenomenon and a favorite way to spend your downtime. Not only that, but this variation of the game gives you the lowest house edge of only 1.35%. In addition, there are some advantages you can apply to avoid a losing streak and win big! Those are known as “En Prison” and “La Partage”.\n“En Prison” literally means “in prison” in French, and this option allows you to “imprison” your bet and transfer it to the next round, but only in the case that the wheel spins a zero. While “La Partage”, on the other hand, gives you half of your money back in the same case.\nWe can all agree that nothing beats that feeling of joy when you are sitting at a casino with other players who are as excited as you are, hopeful that the next round will bring a big win your way. What’s more, the flow of liquor and the smoke of cigars will make you feel like you are in a James Bond movie.\nHowever, when playing Roulette, the online casino is the best way to go. Especially if you are a beginner, you can take advantage of the many casino bonuses and free spins that online Roulette has to offer. That way, not only will you improve your confidence, but you will also be able to understand the game a lot better.\nMany casinos offer lucrative welcome bonuses which you can use, no strings attached! You will get lost in the many free spins, and it will be a good thing, too, since you don’t have to put in real money quite yet in order to use them. Just spin as you please and watch the magic happen.\nIn Roulette, there are many types of bets you can place. You can bet on the number alone, which is the most common option. There are no rules here, you can use whichever number you please — a birthday or an anniversary date, for example. By placing your chips on a certain field you are deciding on which spot you are placing your trust. In addition, you can change your mind and move the chips around the table until the croupier exclaims “No more bets”, which means he is about to drop the ball on the wheel.\nAside from betting on numbers, you can also bet on the color, which gives you a sweet 50/50 chance to win either but do not forget about the house edge, which is always applied. These bets are known as the inside bets.\nThe outside bets, on the other hand, are numerous — you can bet on rows, columns, odd or even numbers, too. Roulette gives you many options, and it is up to you which one you will try out first!\nThe More the Merrier\nAfter you’ve been playing Roulette for a while, you will notice that you have much better chances of winning if you play on more numbers. That makes total sense, especially when you remember that betting on single numbers usually takes longer to win. Furthermore, this is the main reason casinos offer higher payouts for these types of bets. But after a few rounds have passed and you still haven’t won anything, you will realize that it is a lot better to switch to multiple number bets.\nHowever, you should avoid making 5 number bets, since they have the worst odds in Roulette. To understand this better, know that the house edge here is up to 7.3%!\nKnow When to Call It a Day\nWhen playing any casino game, you can easily get hooked once you start winning big, thinking that quitting at that point would be quite unreasonable. However, this is actually the best time to walk away from the table. Namely, it is normal to get encouraged by this, but keep in mind that just because you are on a winning streak, that doesn’t mean you can’t lose everything in the very next round. Casino games are unpredictable like that.\nIn addition, you should know how to manage your money wisely. Experts believe that the best approach here is to decide on the amount of money which you are prepared to spend in a night and leave your credit cards at home. This way, you won’t be tempted to run to the ATM every chance you get and drain your account in the process.\nWe understand how easy it is to get lost in a game, especially in one as fun and enjoyable as Roulette. You watch the wheel spin and decide your fortune, which is exciting and unpredictable and creates a rush like no other. Luckily, there are some tips you can apply to keep a clear head and stay in the game for longer. After you studied the edges, the odds and the layout, you will have enough confidence to actually start playing.", "domain": "hobby"}

We were ready to see an area that has three active volcanic mountains, crazy colored lakes, and lots of old-growth forests.\nTongariro had snow down to 1500 meters, rainstorms, rolling fog blackouts, and gale-force winds. Counterpoint.\nThe workers at DOC were pretty amused that we were even considering going up. “Even if you didn’t get blown off, you wouldn’t see anything.,” one of them told us. Well snow camping isn’t that much fun anyway, and they were quite happy to refund our great walk booking fees.\nThis left us with a few days of dayhikes, hoping for the weather to break at least long enough to hike the Tongariro Crossing. Often called New Zealand’s finest dayhike, it’s in an abbreviated version after recent eruptions have closed off the latter part of the walk. It now exists in out-and-back form.\nSome research in the Doc hut led us to the Tama lakes for our day 1 hike. This was the way we would have gone anyway, only it was without packs now. It was a pretty hike, with the trademark NZ tussocks. The lower lake was quite pretty, but the climb to the upper involved some intense winds—70 or 80 k/hour. We were so exposed and just hoping not to get blown off as we climbed up.\nAt least we reached the top. The upper lake was, arguably, even better. The wind blew and it became clear that Mount Ngauruhoe (aka Mt.Doom in the LOTR movies) was hanging out right behind us. The wind died on the way back and, all said and done, we had a solid 6 hours of hiking in.\nThe second day saw even worse weather. We drove (Mark had a car!) to a few trailheads. Everywhere it was the same: sleeting snain (a nefarious snow-rain mix), winds, and no visibility. At one point, high up the mountain, the wind blew hard enough that we couldn’t even open the car doors against it.\nIn addition to having a car, Mark had an encyclopedic knowledge of weather. (He works in weather.) “I reckon we just have to drive to another side of the mountain.” We did, and while it wasn’t exactly high summer, the weather was much better. On the way, we passed through the town of Ohakune, famous for its big carrot.\nWe hiked into a hut on the Around the Mountain Circuit. It had plenty of firewood and we ended up having the entire place to ourselves. While we were somewhat wet from light rain and stream crossings, it began to snain heavily after we reached shelter. It was an afternoon of eating scroggin, chopping wood, reading the visitor’s book, eating more scroggin, and watching the weather pass us by.\nThe next day, Saturday, dawned bright and clear. Not only could we Ruapehu, suddenly lurking right behind us, but would see the long-lost brother, Mt.Taranaki. (Our views of Taranaki were far better than we’d had when we actually hiked it.) The hike back, in nice weather (and considerably less scroggin), was half-as-short as the day before.\nIt was 11 when we got back to the car. We’d been planning on trying the Tongariro Crossing the next day, when good weather was predicted. But it was so nice today. We already had a warmup hike under our belts. The consensus was easily reached, and we sped off back to the other side of the mountain.\nWe started later than most hikers, of course, but all of us were relatively fit and we passed loads of people. (Admittedly people in jeans and not wearing proper shoes, but still, we passed them.) Most of the hike in was flat, but then there was quite a steep section up to the first crater.\nAnd then we were amongst it.\nThis area lives up to and even exceeds its lofty reputation. For at least two reasons, the views were breathtaking. Not only do words fail, but this is one area where pictures don’t really even do it justice. It’s just an amazing place. Of the three months we spent in New Zealand, this was the single-best thing we did.\nHere’s a small video I made with some of the best moments.", "domain": "hobby"}

Consumer interest in the console rose and thus SNK released the AES for home use on January 31st 1990. Debuting in the USA at $649, the console came with two joystick controllers and a choice of a game, either Baseball Stars Professional or NAM-1975. Unlike the Super NES and Genesis, home ports ran on the same code as the arcade games giving the player an authentic arcade experience.\nLater on the system would be offered as a \"Silver\" package for $399 which contained one controller and no game. Games for the Neo Geo AES were priced at $200 and up. The high prices kept the AES out of the mainstream though a cult following remains to this day.\nUsing the popular Motorola 68000 clocked at 12 Mhz and a Zilog Z80A clocked at 4 Mhz, the AES had more power than other consoles from the time period. Although it was sometimes marketed as a 24 bit system, the Neo Geo AES is in reality a 16 bit system with an additional 8 bit processor. The AES featured 64KB RAM, 74KB VRAM, and 2KB Sound Memory.\nThe AES has a resolution of 320×224. It can display 4096 on-screen colors out of a palette of 65536, double the palette featured in the Super Nintendo.\nLike the Neo-Geo MVS the AES ran on rom cartridges. The original spec allowed up to 330Mb of data to be stored on a cartridge but as programmers got more experience with the console the counts increased finally resulting in a 716Mb (89.6MB) cartridge.\nProgramming / Hacking details.\nSince almost all game cartridges contain both arcade and home version code as well as both Japanese and English versions you want to exchange the bios in your unit with a universal bios where you can switch between modes and regions. It also allows cheats, jukebox functionality, pause, soft reset and a few other useful features. The Unibios can be ordered from here. Keep in mind that the bios is a DIP that needs to be either desoldered or that you piggyback upon it.", "domain": "hobby"}

This new initiative is called Facebook Instant Games and their name says it all. Instant games are an HTML5 gaming platform that allows users to play games on Messenger and in Facebook News Feed. What is so awesome is that there is no need for any downloads on the web or mobile phone.\nThis service is still in its beta testing with 17 games, including the infamous Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Galaga. There will be a mix of legendary games with some new releases to satisfy every appetite.\nThese games will be released in 30 countries around the world, and the great news is that Instant Games will be available in Canada and the United States first. The main concept is to allow the users to play games within Messenger and be able to easily challenge your Facebook friends to beat your score. Brilliant, isn’t it? Facebook Instant Gaming will allow more engagements and encourage their user base to spend more time in the Facebook ecosystem. Facebook Instant Messenger has over 1 billion users a month, and the integration with Instant Game will just increase, if not explode this number.\nSo how are these games played? The Facebook Messenger app once updated will have a game controller icon under the box where you type new messages. Click on the icon, and choose a game that you want to play. After you finish, your friends in that conversation will see your score and can challenge you back. Facebook says people will also be able to discover games in the Messenger search field, or in the Facebook News Feed where they can play solo as well.\nAdding games to Messenger is not new to Facebook. In March, they added a basketball game and then a soccer game in June.

All areas of change are highlighted in grey in the current rulebok.\nNO CLIPS FOR NOVICES\n• Perhaps one of the biggest rule changes for the new year is that Novice riders (of any age) will no longer be allowed to race with clipless pedals. This \"no clips\" rule is in place for ALL Novice riders regardless of what class they end up racing in (i.e. getting moved to Intermediate or competing in Mixed Open). Basically, if you are a Novice rider - you cannot use clips in competition. Period.\nThe simple fact is that too many riders are “clipping in” too early (because they see the faster riders clipped in) and are not able to acquire the bike-handling skills that they will need later in their BMX career. We’ve talked to trainers and coaches about how riders who clip in too early are not likely learning the basics, such as manualing (an essential component in BMX racing these days), due to fear of looping out while clipped in. When you also factor in the cost of clipless pedals and shoes, the perceived cost of being “competitive” could be turning off newcomers to BMX.\n• Beginning in 2013, Novice riders will need 10 wins to advance to Intermediate (or Girl for females). Also, Intermediate riders will advance to Expert with 20 wins as an Intermediate. Any rider with 20-24 wins at the end of the 2012 season will be credited with 19 wins and will advance to Expert upon his next win. USA BMX will instruct their Track Operators to pay special attention to anyone “sandbagging” (trying to avoid getting that last win), so they can let us know to move those riders up to the next proficiency.\nAGE CLASS RESTRUCTURING\n• The kids racing cruisers just keep getting younger & younger. For 2013, we’ve responded by introducing the 7 & Under Cruiser class for those riders. Make no mistake, the numbers are there for these young kids racing cruisers and we expect this class to grow exponentially as well.\n• The Girls class undergoes a slight change at single point races only by giving Girl riders (the female equivalent of an Expert) the choice to race against the Expert class of their age. This request MUST be done prior to sign-ups closing, as we don’t want these riders affecting the efficiency at which our tracks run their events.\n• We also adjusted the older Girls classes to make them more competitive and break out the age groups per the request of the riders. Expect to see 15-16, 17-20, 21-25, 26-30 and 31 & Over Girls classes in 2013.\n• Good news for Cruiser riders: USA BMX/BMX Canada will now allow Cruisers to compete in the Mixed Open and X-Open classes at nationals. If a rider is racing in the cruiser class and is also competing in the Novice or Intermediate class that day, he may choose to race his 24” bike in the Mixed Open class. If he is racing in the Expert class or only planning to race Cruiser & Open that day, he will be placed in the (Expert) Open class.", "domain": "hobby"}

So we took advice from a few landscape companies, but their ideas didn’t work for us. Then we were recommended to Al and from our first meeting we knew his ideas were creative, exciting and unique. His eye catching designs are inspirational and he turns ordinary into extraordinary! We now have a fantastic place to entertain friends and to sit wonder at it’s beauty. Thanks for everything Al!\nSue & John P, Blaise Dell. September 2018\nWhen I downsized to my new little house and garden, I had specific needs and wishes for both: mainly they had to be low-maintenance and aesthetically-pleasing because of my health restrictions and spending a lot of my days house-bound.\nI had a few ideas and put them to a few landscapers, but was told that: it wouldn’t be possible to construct the garden on one level because of the slope of the land; it wouldn’t work to paint the red brick white; they couldn’t build a curved wall for the raised flowerbeds; and one insisted on a circular patch of grass in the middle, even though I had been adamant on having no grass to mow!\nThen Al Smart came and looked at the space, listened to my ideas and needs and said: “We can turn this into something special”. And he did! As well as the curved raised flowerbed, he created both a round planter and a semi-circular planter made of Cor-ten weathered steel, a stunning trellised fence, wooden curved decking – that doesn’t become slippery in the rain! – and my seating area in the middle of the garden is on Cotswold shale, which looks like a pebble beach! The garden is completely flat, the brick walls are white, which makes the garden seem bigger, and there is not a blade of grass to mow!\nAl was efficient, easy to communicate with, and everything was finished to a very high standard. Without his vision and design ideas and knowledge I would not have the stunning garden I now enjoy and which elicits a “wow” from all my family and friends who see it. Thank you, Al, I am hugely grateful to you and everyone who worked with you.\nChristine T, Cheswick Village. May 2018\nBuilding a new house was a chance to create my dream garden and Al his small team have given me exactly that. They have turned my sense of the effects I hoped for into beautiful lines, forms and textures, with meticulous imagination, professionalism and relentless hard work. We talked it through at every stage so that the whole process was a huge pleasure. I can’t thank him enough\nLindsey T, Bristol. March 2017\nAl transformed our small Victorian garden. He carefully considered the different materials; their texture, colour, shape and size, and how they interact with each other, to create a beautiful space. Al’s craftsmanship was uncompromising in quality, as were the materials he sourced to work with. The garden feels more part of our home than it has ever done so. It is on three levels; each with a different purpose and interest, but seamlessly flowing into one another. The garden renovation met my high expectations but, as a professional, Al exceeded all expectations.\nLeena O, Leamington Spa. March 2015\nAl from Smart Landscape Design took our small, typically Victorian courtyard and created an oasis of contemporary and stylish design which has given an otherwise ordinary Victorian home the ‘wow’ factor. Using the very best materials and with an emphasis on craftsmanship they created a fabulous outdoor space perfect for entertaining. All our requests were catered for within what was an exacting brief. Al worked tirelessly to realise our dream of a modern, low maintenance and beautiful space, we couldn’t be happier. His work ethic, attention to detail and creative flare can be seen in every inch of the garden and we are more than happy to endorse their work.\nPip S, Leamington Spa. September 2013\nI cannot praise Smart Landscape Design highly enough. From the very beginning I found Al Smart very approachable and straightforward; he listened to my ideas and was incredibly creative. I felt that we worked really collaboratively and I never felt pressured or rushed to make decisions. Their attention to detail was second to none – my back garden is on a slope and needed quite careful terracing. He worked incredibly hard. My garden is completely transformed and I am so proud! I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Smart Landscape Design, and I can’t wait to get them back to tackle my front garden!\nLiz I, Leamington Spa. November 2010\nHaving never owned a garden before, we did not know where to start when we bought our first property in 2009. We could not have chosen a better person to help us out than Al at Smart Landscape Design. He really listened to what we wanted our garden to be and created a design that suited us, is sympathetic to the house, manageable (given our limited gardening knowledge and experience) and can evolve over time. It has been a joy to see the garden change and the design come to life. Al works very hard, is very professional and a good communicator; always talking through changes to the design and keeping us informed of the costs along the way. It has been great to work with someone whose standards and attention to detail match ours\nEve W, Wappenbury. May 2010\nHaving designed and delivered an excellent service to completely transform my garden I then approached Smart Landscape Design a few years later to come up with an idea for a ‘structure’ that would join parts of the garden/ provide a focal point from different viewpoints, as well as being viewed from above from my home office window .We did not want a solid structure because it is adjacent to a tree and we needed dappled shade/ sunlight. We also didn’t want something ‘off the peg’ ! He came up with an innovative, surprising but ideal design solution of stainless steel with a spiral/ spoke effect which is fantastic , greatly admired and fitted the brief. It is known as ‘Florence’ because I misremembered the snail’s name in Magic roundabout! Al took a great deal of trouble to source how it could be constructed at a reasonable price but with quality finish – he succeeded.\nGerry S, Wirksworth. February 2008", "domain": "hobby"}

In times of drought and water restrictions, it can be even more difficult. So let us help you with this guide for selecting your plants and creating your Perth garden.\nWhat To Look For\nThere are some obvious first steps in when creating a low water garden that will flourish in our hot, dry Perth summers. Some steps might be less obvious. Let’s look at them.\n- Choose native plants\n- Choose hardy exotic plants\n- Soil is important!\n- Reduce your lawn\n- Plant shade trees\n- Pay attention to the sun\nChoose Native Plants\nWe all know now that local plant species that originate from the Perth area require minimal water to thrive and are a good option in almost any climate. There are also many Australian native species that grow exceptionally well in the Perth climate. This means you have LOTS to choose from, including groundcovers, shrubs and trees to suit any requirement, including shaded spaces. Here’s a list of just some of beautiful natives that are readily available:\n- Acacia cognata ‘Limelight’\n- Adenanthos cuneatus ‘Coral Carpet’\n- Adenanthos sericeus ‘Pencil Perfect Woolly Bush’\n- Anigozanthos species ‘Kangaroo Paw’\n- Banksia menziesii ‘Dwarf Firewood Banksia’\n- Boronia megastima ‘Brown Boronia’\n- Conostylis candicans ‘Grey Cottonhead’\n- Dianella revoluta ‘Little Rev’\n- Eucalyptus forrestiana ‘Fuchsia Gum’\n- Grevillea hybrid ‘Moonlight’\n- Hakea laurina ‘Pincushion Hakea’\n- Hemiandra pungens ‘Snakebush’\n- Lomandra longifolia ‘Tanika’\n- Oleara axillaris ‘Little Smokie’\n- Scaevola nitida ‘Shining Fanflower’\n- Syzygium australe ‘Lilly Pilly – Resilience’\n- Verticordia chrysantha ‘Yellow Featherflower’\n- Westringia fruticosa ‘Grey Box’\nIn addition to saving water, native plants are a food source for birds, bees and insects.\nChoose Hardy Exotic Plants\nThere are some amazing drought tolerant plants from all over the world that grow really well here in WA. They can add colour, texture, shade and plenty of style to your garden. So lets look at a few:\n- Agava attenuata ‘Century Plant’\n- Aloe hybrid ‘Erik the Red’\n- Crepe myrtle ‘Sioux’\n- Dietes bicolor ‘Mini Ballerina’\n- Furcraea foetida ‘Jet Stream’\n- Gazania hybrid ‘Sunset Jane’\n- Laurus nobilis ‘Bay Tree’\n- Lavandula pedunculata ‘Lavender – Sensation Purple’\n- Limonium perezii ‘Blue Statice’\n- Olea europaea ‘Olive Tree’\n- Rosmarinus officinalis ‘Rosemary Blue Lagoon’\n- Senecio serpens ‘Blue Chalk Sticks’\n- Yucca flaccida ‘Golder Sword’\n- Zamia furfuracea ‘Cardboard Palm’\nThis is just a tiny sample to get you started. Have fun creating your waterwise garden.\nSoil Is Important!\nThe type and quantity of soil in your garden does make a difference to plant selection and plant health. Some plants prefer clay, some loam, and others like sandy soil.\nHowever as you know, Perth is mostly sand. Sand without nutrients, or the capacity to hold moisture for long. So improving your sand with a high quality Native mix or Landscape mix soil will help a lot. And quality is the key. If the soil the bring in is mostly sand itself, then what help is it really doing?\nGood quality soil with help to retain moisture and nutrients in your garden and give your plants the ability to sustain themselves for longer when the hot weather kicks in.\nDo You Really Need A Lawn?\nLawns are great for kids and animals, but they don’t need to be the entire focus of your garden. Large lawns just aren’t practical any more.\nA healthy lawn requires regular watering, using far more water than that of a waterwise garden, and a lot of attention including mowing and fertilising. A small patch of lawn will still give you the space and cooling benefits while allowing you to reduce water use, and general maintenance requirements.\nWhat if you want to get rid of your lawn altogether? What’s the alternative? You could consider:\n- Groundcovers such as Dichondra repens ‘Kidney Plant’, Thymus serpyllum ‘Creeping Thyme’, Carpobrotus glaucescens ‘Pigface’ or a low growing Grevilea.\n- Gravel or pebble path\n- A rock garden with feature cactus or succulents.\n- Bench seats and/or sculptures\n- A garden bed with low growing shrubs and stepping stones.\nIf you do want an area of lawn, choose a variety that requires less water and don’t scrimp on putting 50mm to 100mm of high quality compost or soil improver down before you lay the lawn. Cheap lawn sand will not hold the moisture or nutrients you need it to.\nPlant Shade Trees\nTrees for shade are a massive bonus to any garden. They look great, create a different micro-climate for your garden, and help to cool the air and therefore your home.\nDeciduous trees such as Gleditsia ‘Sunburst’, Frangipanis, and Crepe Myrtles will drop their leave in winter and allow the summer warmth onto your lawn or home.\nEvergreen trees such as Eucalyptus Caesia ‘Silver Princess’, Eucalyptus Erythrocorys ‘Red Cap Gum’, Agonis Flexuosa ‘Burgundy’, Olive Trees and many more will give you colour and life all year round. They also provide habitat and food for birds, bugs and bees, increasing the biodiversity and health of your garden.\nPay Attention To The Sun\nBefore you start to install anything in your garden, consider where the sun is at different times of the day and at different times of the year. Knowing where the hotter areas, eg afternoon summer sun, and more heavily shaded areas are, eg under trees and southern walls, will aid in your layout decisions.\nThe idea is to choose the right plants for the right location, to try and keep plants out of direct sunlight for periods so some moisture is retained in the soil, and to work with the micro-climate that exists.\nOf course you can always contact us and we’d be happy to help with your project 🙂", "domain": "hobby"}

The thing about games on any platform is that they are usually announced many months in advance. Similar to movies, they will release trailers and footage for these games to show you what it is all about. Then the hype begins to build, and you are almost counting down to the release date for the game. But what happens if you do not have the money to buy it when it comes out?\nThere are a few choices that you have here. You can either wait until you do have them money, and you will just have to purchase the game at a later date. There is nothing wrong with this strategy, as it is what many people are going to do. But if you are a super impatient person, we do not think there is anything wrong with going on the Games Download to get the game for free. You are going to have to follow a few steps before you get a license key, but the whole process should not be taking you more than 15 or 20 minutes.\nWhen you get access to the key, you can go and download the game from the site they tell you about. It will not take more than a few hours, depending on the speed of your internet connection, and then you can play the game to your heart’s content. Now I know what you are thinking why are we promoting getting the game for free? The reason is because we know that many people do not have the money immediately when a game comes out, but they still want to play that game their friends are talking about.\nWhat we always suggest is that when you do find yourself having the money, go ahead and buy the game. Sure, you may think that you can just keep playing this free version, but do you not want to support the game developers? Ultimately, they will only keep making those kinds of games if people like you are purchasing them. So yes, get the free version and play it. If you like what you see, get the game the moment you have the disposable income. Now you are getting the game earlier, but you are also doing your part.\nThe thing about gaming on all platforms is that we need to support the games that we love the most. Sure, you may feel as though it is not too sensible to pay a huge amount of money for a game the moment it comes out. You may want to give it a fair shot before you are going to spend the money. But when you get these free versions of the game, you are getting that chance. And when you have spent a week or two trying out the game, we think it is time for you to make the purchase!", "domain": "hobby"}

Your children will have a great time learning and participating in our games and activities each week.\nTiny Tots are aged between 3 and 4 years old. The Tiny Tots program includes games based activities to develop gross motor skills in a non-competitive environment. The activities are designed to build running, throwing and jumping skills whilst also developing listening skills, responding to instruction, and working as individuals in a team.\nTiny Tots programs\nTiny Tots athletes are split into groups and rotate through three to four different activities each week before coming back together for a group activity. These activities focus on fun, fitness and coordination as well as teaching the techniques needed for when the tots graduate to the full track and field program. From time to time, Tots also have the opportunity to run on the “big” track and have a go at developing their long jump skills in the sand pits. The aim of this is to ease the transition from Tots to Under 6s.\nEach Saturday we award Tiny Tots encouragement trophies, which children take home for a week. The trophies are awarded to children who have shown good sportsmanship, team work or trying hard to develop a new skill.\nTiny Tot dates\nTiny Tots participate on the same dates as the regular Centre competitions from September through to March (see Season Program), with a slightly different program. Tiny Tots starts at 8:10am each Saturday on the top oval, and the program finishes by 9:30am, before it gets too hot. Tiny Tots also get to participate in our special Christmas event at Sydney Olympic Park.\nIf there is inclement weather, check the website or facebook to see if the competition has been cancelled for the day. A decision to cancel is not normally made until the day itself, so the website would not be updated until early on the Saturday morning.\nWe rely on the parents helping with this program, to keep it running each week, and the children love showing family members what they can do. Most importantly don’t forget a drink and a healthy snack for your child, sunscreen and a hat. Tiny Tots wear a special T-shirt, available to purchase online, and any shorts or pants can be worn with appropriate sports shoes.\nWe do hope your children have a great season, and that you enjoy watching them have fun.\nTiny Tots Team Managers\nWe need parents to supervise the activities of our tiny tots groups. There is always a need for additional help and the Tiny Tots program is already written, with very easy to follow instructions. So if you can follow instructions, have enthusiasm, and love being a part of your child’s development, then you will be great for the role!", "domain": "hobby"}

We love his crazy antics. For fun, I made him a foppish little capelet to wear when he has tea. Enjoy the free pattern!\nMaterials: fabric (no-fray fleece or felt), 12\" of holiday ribbon\nIf you use felt, you'll need no seam allowances. Just cut as shown on the fold. Stitch or hot glue on the ribbon. Fasten with a scrapbooking brad or spot of double-sided tape and you're ready to pen sublime fiction and enjoy a bit of tea and cake.\nTomorrow, I will post a pattern for a superhero cape -- just as easy as this one.\nWe have been killing Summer this year. Seriously. And soon it will get even better because we're going on vacation. The beaches there are loaded with coral and a few have lots of sea glass. As we're big collectors in this family, I searched for a cool mesh bag for our loot.\nAs a class A cheapskate, I refused to spend a ton of money on any of the ones I had seen online so I scoured the Dollar Store for inspiration. I spotted a lingerie bag in the washing aisle and knew I had found \"the one.\" And then I bought two.\nZ wanted a messenger style and I made myself one with a wrist strap to match. Look for us on \"The Island.\" (We're pretending the whole place belongs to us).\nIt took about 15 minutes. I just stitched over the two edges 4 or 5 times to make sure the seam would be secure. Less than $2.\nMore posts to come. You know you've been busy when the photos from your brother's Easter Egg Hunt are still on the camera...\nI know it's crazy late to be posting Christmas pictures but I do have a full-time job, people. I had photoshop hidden and forgot to save these.\nSo this is my bean as a Christmas elf. We have been doing this every year since she was born. Check them out here.\nI wanted to start a tradition of buying a hat on Etsy for each year but I bit the bullet and made one myself. I found a quick tutorial online and lined it with fleece. I made the pattern a bit smaller after making a test and I shouldn't have. With the lining, it was too small. It would have been perfect.\nFor the first time ever, I styled my mantel for the holidays. I've had most of this stuff for years but I usually just toss it all up there. This year, I wanted to do something special. I pulled out all the white and silver.\nZ and I made the trees. It took me about 45 minutes to wind and hot glue the yarn around the tall tree. I might add another layer or some color next year. We glittered the other cone with super chunky glitter.\nThe deer is my favorite. I got it last year at Crate and Barrel I think. I was with my mom in Manhattan and after seeing the Rockettes. We walked all the way up 5th Avenue (?) looking at the lights. On our way back down the next street (Madison?), we shopped for a long time. The jingle bell garland is from there too.\nLast year I found the perfect cylinder vase for the jingle bells. The plate with the birch trees and single cardinal is from TJMaxx. They have the best holiday stuff.\nThis is a bit of the top. My vintage favorites mixed with the Martha Stewart Santa tree topper from back when she was just out of prison and wasn't too good for Kmart. Oh why doesn't she love us poor people anymore? I liked buying Martha stuff at Kmart. There is no Macy's near here.\nOh, and just so you know, I think I'm using the word Mantelscape somewhat ironically. I really don't take myself that seriously. Edit: just realized the typo in the original post. Mantle is actually a correct spelling but not the more common one. Oops.\nThe studio apartMac is finally finished! I took some photos before we went out of town last week but I had some technical difficulties and only managed to upload a couple of quick shots to Flickr. I am happy with what's here but I'm going to take advantage of the extension to edit a little bit and refine some pieces.\nI stuck closely to my inspiration and I think it all came together. Of course, my favorite bits are the little macbook and iPad from lilushop (thanks to Modern Mini Houses for the tip).\nThe billy balls that my assistant (3 years old!) and I made are perfect in the eBay vase.\nI've seen this wood slice wall art around the internet a good bit so I had Mr. Lemon chop up some sticks and I glued them above the fireplace (another cheap eBay find). The little houses are from a vendor at Handmade Arcade and the birch logs are from Gigi N Studio.\nI'm most proud of the wood shelf. It was a scrap leftover from the fireplace slices and it fit perfectly above the sink (that's a chair from the Irwin Interior Decorator set).\nThese are just a few of my favorite vignettes. With the extension, I'll be able to take better photos in different light and get some good views of the whole thing. The iMac is a beautiful piece of design but it's so hard to shoot the scene!\nIt probably seems like I haven't been working on my studio apartMac but that's not true. It's just that I've been doing all these little things that don't look like much. I spent a very long time on the stone floor. The vinyl sheets were from eBay and I had to cut them to the size of the base which meant stacking one on top of the other. To make it look more realistic, I cut away the top layer in a stone pattern then sealed up the seam. You can't tell in the right lighting that it is not one piece.\nI also worked on the kitchen unit. I made a farm sink out of pieces from the Irwin Interior Decorator Set. I think it looks pretty good although I do need to touch it up a bit and attach the bar table.\nOn the left side of the unit, I'm building a wall behind that fireplace. I have an art piece in mind that I'm very excited about. If I use the Petite Princess chair, I will paint it so that it looks like grey leather. This tiny space can seat more than 10 guests! And there is so much more in store. I'm hoping to finish up this weekend.\nWhile I enjoy holiday crafting and all the sewing I've been doing for the doll I bought my assistant for Christmas, it always feels right to work on the minis.\nI'm pretty sure this is the last of our Christmas craft extravaganza. We're going to take it easy from now on. This is just a felt ornament that we got at the dollar store (where everything is $1). We just glued all these sparkly bits to it with tacky glue. It took about 45 minutes. If you have a toddler, you know how precious that 45 minutes can be. That's a lifetime of being occupied.\nWe hung one in each of our front windows using those Command hangers. I can't get a good picture at all but you get the idea.\nI've been hoarding these tins for years and got the idea to make these little scenario ornaments out of them. It was super simple. Just drill a tiny hole in the top of the tin and thread the baker's twine through it to hang. Everything inside is just tacked in with glue. I think they turned out well and I like them in this little cluster in front of the window.\nFinally, a word about Pinterest. I am loving Pinterest and having such a blast with it -- so many great ideas. Please, pin away! But I do ask that you pin directly from my post and not the jpeg image so it will link back here. I spend a lot of time writing and coming up with ideas. I'm obviously not in this for the money; I just really enjoy doing it. So give me a little cred, okay? Thanks so much!", "domain": "hobby"}

The culture of drinking during the summer can make it seem impossible to enjoy the sunshine without imbibing, making it a particularly difficult time for those in recovery from alcohol addiction. Yet, if taken the right way, the summer sunshine offers a wonderful opportunity to get outside and overcome the struggles that accompany alcohol addiction recovery. Soaking up the vitamin D and releasing some endorphins through moderate exercise are great tools to ensure a successful and sober summer! Below are some of our favourite ways to stay sober through the summer:\nTrails snake across every stretch of Nova Scotia, and parks pepper each town, allowing for lots of options when looking for a place to hike. From a leisurely stroll through Point Pleasant Park to a more challenging trip through Cape Chignecto Provincial Park, no matter your fitness level or skill there is a place for you to get out and get some fresh air. Try making a schedule for the summer, with your “must-do” hikes and goals for length and speed to reach over the coming months.\nGiving back to your community, and recognizing the enormous impact you can have within your community is a great way to reinforce your commitment to sobriety. Take the opportunity that longer summer days offer by choosing a place to volunteer. Whether it’s walking puppies at the SPCA, helping out at the Halifax Jazz Fest, or doing a community clean up, find something you’re passionate about and get involved!\n3. Join a Sports Team\nTest out your coordination by joining a new sports team like volleyball or softball. Recreational sports teams are a great way to get involved in your community, making new friends and developing important skills. And better yet, you’ll be able to get some fresh air and exercise while you’re at it. No matter what skill level, there is a team out there for you to try.\n4. Try a New Class\nDuring recovery from alcohol addiction, it’s important to find new activities which replace old habits. The longer days of summer offer a wonderful opportunity to learn a new hobby—and if you’re lucky you can soak up some sunshine in the process! Yoga in the Park or Pilates on the Waterfront are a couple of free, weekly classes to try out around Halifax. If you’re more creative, try a painting or piano class. In addition to learning a new skill, you’ll be building up your self-confidence, equipping you for a happy life, all year long.\n5. Start a Book Club\nThere are few things as relaxing as lounging in the sunshine with an enthralling book, except maybe sharing that experience with a group of friends. Beginning a book club gives you the motivation to get through your summer book list, while bolstering your support group. If you need a bit of extra encouragement to stay sober, try reading books about addiction recovery and success stories. Call a couple friends, or reach out to other people in recovery, create a book list for the summer and get started!\n6. Attend a Refresher Weekend at Searidge Alcohol Rehab\nSearidge Foundation is proud to offer refresher weekends to our alumni, as part of our extensive aftercare program. If you’re having trouble avoiding the temptations of alcohol this summer or would simply like to refresh the skills you learned through alcohol rehab, you are always welcome back. We will be happy to help you through the challenges you are facing, preparing you for many more sober summers.", "domain": "hobby"}

As India grows and its economy develops, its citizens increasingly find themselves in a situation where they have more disposable income to use for leisure activities such as sports. This has created an increased demand for sports and a huge rise in the number of professional sports teams and leagues.\nSports in India are loved by many as it is one of the most popular forms of entertainment in the country. Sporting activities can bring communities together, provide entertainment, and teach people important life skills.\nAccording to recent surveys, more than 95% of people in India engage in one form of sport or another. This shows the immense popularity of sports in the country and the levels of engagement.\nOne of the reasons why sports are so popular in India is due to the rise in betting. Betting on sports has become a popular pastime in many parts of the country and has even created a multi-billion-dollar industry.\nPeople enjoy the thrill of betting on their favorite team and hoping for victory. Whether they win or lose, many people enjoy the excitement of betting on sports and the chance to make money.\nPlus, the advent of online sportsbooks has made it easier for sports fans in India to place their bet. They do not have to visit physical sportsbooks to place their bet and it can even be done from the comfort of their own home.\nThere are a variety of different betting options available and all of them seem very promising. One of the best examples of this is crypto sports betting.\nCrypto Sports Betting Popularity In India\nCrypto sports betting in India is a new way to bet on sports using digital cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. It allows users to place bets in a more secure and convenient way than traditional online betting sites. This form of sports betting has become increasingly popular in India and is now being used by millions of sports enthusiasts across the country.\nCrypto sports betting differs from regular online sports betting in several ways. Traditional sportsbooks require users to provide personal information when signing up, which could potentially be used for identity theft.\nWith crypto sports betting, all transactions are anonymous and secure. This means users can place their bets without having to worry about their information being stolen.\nCrypto sports betting also offers users more flexibility when it comes to choosing the sports they want to bet on. With reputable sites such as cryptobettingindia.com, users can choose from a wider variety of options, including sports from international leagues such as the NFL and NBA. They can also bet on games from smaller markets such as cricket and rugby.\nThe popularity of crypto sports betting in India is due to several factors. One of the main reasons is the ease of access it provides users. Crypto sports betting does not require users to have a bank account or credit card, and all transactions are completed quickly and securely.\nAdditionally, the levels of anonymity it provides means users can wager without worrying about who may be monitoring their activity. Lastly, the ability to use cryptocurrency to place bets gives users more control and flexibility over the betting process.\nTips To Get You Started\nCrypto sports betting is a relatively new concept in India and many people may not be familiar with it yet. As with any new form of betting, it is important to do your research and learn as much as you can before taking any risks.\nLearning about crypto sports betting can help you make informed decisions and maximize your chances of success. Here are a few tips that can help you get started with crypto sports betting in India:\n1. Familiarize yourself with the different crypto betting platforms available in India. Research the different features each platform offers, as well as any fees and additional terms and conditions associated with them. Make sure you understand all of the necessary requirements before registering.\n2. Set aside a budget for your crypto sports betting. While the potential profits from crypto sports betting can be high, it is important to remember that losses are also possible. Make sure you only wager amounts that you can comfortably afford to lose, and keep your coins in a secure wallet.\n3. Learn the rules and regulations of the sport you are betting on. Every sport has its own set of rules and regulations which must be followed. This will help you make more informed decisions and make sure you are following the law.\n4. Research the betting market and stay up to date on current trends and news. Following the news and researching the betting market can give you a better understanding of the different strategies that are effective.\n5.

One of the essential tools for shading with precision is the tattoo shader needle. Whether you are a beginner tattoo artist or working in this industry for years, this guide will explain everything you should know about tattoo shader needles.\nUnderstanding tattoo shader needles:\nShader needles, also known as magnum needles, are a type of tattoo needle specifically designed for shading and coloring. Unlike liner needles, which are used for outlining and fine lines, shader needles have a different configuration that allows for smoother and more even ink distribution. Here’s what you need to know about shader needles:\nShader needles come in various configurations, with the most common being:\nRound shader (RS): Round shaders are arranged in a circular pattern, often in groups of 3, 5, 7, or more needles. They are versatile and suitable for various shading techniques, from subtle gradients to dense fills.\nFlat shader (F): Flat shader needles have a row of needles that are soldered in a flat line, allowing for a broader coverage area. They are ideal for larger shading projects and creating smooth, even gradients.\nMagnum shader (M1 and M2): Magnum shaders have multiple rows of needles, providing an even larger coverage area. M1 shaders have a single row of needles, while M2 shaders have two rows. They are excellent for quick and efficient shading, especially in larger tattoo pieces.\nInk saturation and depth:\nShader needles are designed to allow ink to flow smoothly and evenly, creating a consistent tone or gradient. Tattoo artists can control the depth of the needle penetration to achieve different shading effects. Proper ink saturation and needle depth are critical for achieving precise and appealing shading in tattoos.\nTechniques for precise shading:\nCircular shading: Rotating the tattoo machine in small circular motions creates soft and subtle shading transitions.\nWhip shading: Using a slight whipping motion while tattooing can produce a textured and gradient effect.\nParallel shading: Running the shader needles parallel to the skin’s surface creates smooth, even shading.\nLayering and stippling: Layering different shades of ink or stippling with the shader needles can add depth and dimension to the tattoo.", "domain": "hobby"}

Rose discovered the \"new\" world of quilting in the 1970's, when the quilting craze began to blossom. She was a fantastic teacher. My Mom was a great seamstress and she was very well taught. She patiently and generously began teaching me little things about sewing when I was just 3 years old. During the summer when I was 11, I began learning how to sew in earnest. She also taught me how different fibers felt by touch and what different weave types were named by sight. I loved sewing then and still do, obviously. It's quite lovely for a mother to give her daughter both a source for her livelihood and a source for great creative joy.\nI've worn lots of hats over the years, from being a costumer to manufacturing gifts and decorative accessories during the 1980's. It was my great honor to write how-to books for Sterling/Chapelle for over a decade and now I create for Mary Jo Hiney Designs, my favorite work ever. The idea for Silk Adaptation arrived early one morning as Divine Inspiration! My family, my dear friends and our doggie never stop offering support and just plain 'ol good advice and logical ideas. They are the best inspiration for which a girl could ever ask. I have a degree from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, where I received the noteworthy Peacock Award upon graduation! It's a feather in my cap!\nTwo of my greatest pleasures have been to sew gorgeous wedding dresses for two gorgeous young women, our daughter, Lexi (who wanted a princess gown) and our daughter-in-law Marissa (who wanted a Jean Harlow gown). They were spectacularly beautiful on their wedding days, but they are beautiful every day....as are we all, right? I've included a few of my favorite family photos on this page.\nI love the phrase \"for such a time as this\" and have borrowed it from the book of Esther, with great thanks for her inspiration.\nEnjoy your journey through my website!\nThe Princess Gown!

Perhaps a little too delicious. Sounds like a good reason to revisit The Rules, and what better day to do it than at the start of a month. The #1 on a calendar is a chance for a fresh start, and since I appear to have gained back a few of the pounds that I lost in the first half of the year, I think it’s time to hunker down (or something equivalent to hunkering down) and take QCT to the next level.\nOK, that’s extreme, I just want to get it back to the previous level. That level was OK.\nSome quick stats for my first round of QCT: In the first six weeks of the year, I dropped between 12-15 lbs. I started the year somewhere between 142-145 lbs, and dropped and held a weight between 130-133 through June. I accomplished this by following a few simple rules that I outlined in the first post in this blog.\nPart of my motivation was to drop a bit of weight to improve my race times, and in particular, to fulfil my quest for a Boston Marathon qualifying time. Mission accomplished: In late May I ran a PR for the 5k in 19:50. On June 6th I ran a 3:15:22 marathon and qualified for Boston. On July 4th I ran a sub-26 minute four miler. None of these numbers are going to impress the Olympic committee, but they’re all breakthroughs for me, and validation of the efforts I put in.\nUnfortunately, I think I got a little to relaxed after the qualifying marathon, and especialy after the July 4th weekend. I lost a bit of focus on the QCT approach and I started gaining weight back. So before it gets out of hand, I am going to take control back.\nMy goal for August is to drop lose the weight I have gained back but also start gaining a bit more muscle. My ultimate goal is a sub 3:10 marathon in September, which would break my marathon PR.\nMy long term goal is to continue the good habits that I have picked up in the first half of the year. I wanted to summarize a few of these habits, which I think were the keys to my health success, in addition to my original Rules:\n- Cereal - I have not had a bowl of cereal all year. I miss the crap out of it sometimes, but I think it was one of the most important changes I made.\n- Soda - Not an ounce all year. I never really drank regular soda anyway, and I doubt the diet soda had a huge metabolic impact, but it sure feels good not to have that junk in my stomach.\n- Subway - I used to LIVE on Subway sandwiches, at least twice a week I’d eat there. How can something that made Jared lose all that weight be unhealthy? What’s wrong with cold cuts? Nothing, on the surface, but its a gateway to unhealthy eating. Portion size is thrown off. Plus, you stop thinking about ingredients when someone hands you a prepared meal.\n- Salad - The more leafy greens you’re eating, the less of something else is going in your stomach.\n- Herbal Tea - Herbal tea completely curbed my late night cravings in the beginning, and also became a part of a decompression routine that I need to get back into.\n- Quinoa - Great subsitute for rice\n- Yams- Filling, healthy, colorful, versitile, and packed with nutrients (kinda like healthy, I guess). I can eat a yam with nothing on it.\n- Cooking - I am convinced that the ingredients themselves are less important than the commitment to preparing them. Part of the QCT experiment was to take part in preparing the meal, and sharing the results at a table with good company.\n- Wine - I am not going to argue with results. Plus, I love a small glass of red when I am cooking. It’s basically a vitamin.\nTomorrow night, I’m kicking off again with a repeat offering of my version of Pho. I’ll probably have a yam or some quinoa for lunch. But for now, I’ll just finish my herbal tea and go to bed…", "domain": "hobby"}

When I saw the cabinets and countertop, (which were very dated) I couldn’t help but be drawn to the pattern and colour of the counter top.\nI started thinking in my mind that this top might make for an interesting electric guitar. I’ve been building guitars for a few years now as a hobby so I’m always looking for new ideas for body designs.\nFirst step was to remove the laminate from the existing counter top.\nThis was done by heating the laminate with a heat gun and then sliding a wide putty knife under it to remove it from the plywood backing.\nOnce I had a suitable piece of laminate I could work with, I laid out a design for the body.\nNext I cut a body out of a piece of Basswood to which I could glue the laminate to.\nOnce the cavities had been routed out for the neck pocket, pick-ups and controls etc. I glued the laminate to the body blank and router trimmed the edges for a smooth finish.\nThe same procedure was done for the headstock and truss rod cover.\nAt this point I test fit all the components to make sure they would fit the way I wanted them to.\nBecause the laminate on the guitar reminded me of a mid-century diner counter top, I thought it only fitting that I wrap a chrome edge around the body to complete that look. The plastic chrome wrap was purchased at Canadian Tire. It’s actually a car body moulding trim.\nAfter trimming the chrome wrap I masked off the body and applied a nice cool blue paint to the back of the body to compliment the colour of the laminate.\nI had a “DJW” decal logo made for me that I used on the headstock.\nI so enjoyed building this guitar, I named it “The Table Top”.\nI think it turned out very nicely.", "domain": "hobby"}

And then I realized almost every image pinned to my food idea board featured . . . cheese.)\nSome recipes I’ve plucked from Pinterest (and tried) over the last few weeks:\nThey didn’t all consist of pasta and cheese:\nI even made Mountain Dew cupcakes for my stepson’s birthday (homage to his beverage of choice).\nI always contend the tastiest recipes are those shared by others. There’s a whole lotta sharing going on in the Pinterest community.\nIf you’re using Pinterest, you may be aware that some legal experts question whether all that sharing constitutes copyright infringement. Amy Lynn Andrews offers a broad range of perspectives at Blogging with Amy if you’re interested in learning more.\nI believe the infringement question pertains more to artists and photographers whose work can easily be repinned without crediting the original source (or those artists may not have given permission for their work to be shared in the first place). Ruth Suehle offers some thoughtful commentary on the topic and the Internet’s culture of sharing with this post via opensource.com.\nAny of the recipes I have repinned so far have linked to the original source, which is probably not surprising since most people pinning food ideas want more than the image — they need the original source for the recipe itself.\nGoing so far as to delete Pinterest accounts seems premature, especially in light of the legal ambiguity. But until the legal questions are resolved, you may find you’re more comfortable pinning from the original source (or at least making sure your repinned images link to the original).", "domain": "hobby"}

The program is head by Jeff Messina, Black Belt under Rodrigo Medeiros (5th degree black belt under Carlson Gracie Sr.). Whether you’re looking to do mma, sport jiu-jitsu or just for self defense, Jeff is qualified to teach jiu-jitsu correctly in a professional atmosphere. We train both gi and no gi. Also in jiu-jitsu we train judo and wrestling.\nEasily the most competitive ground fighting system, BJJ addresses every situation that takes place on the ground. A Jiu-jitsu player possesses the skills to execute takedowns and reversals, to hold position, to apply submission hold ( a submission hold isolates and applies pressure to an extremity like an arm, leg or the neck, and can result in serious ligament/tendon damage or breaking of the joint), and to escape submission holds. BJJ is a must for those looking to be complete. Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is an intense workout that helps build muscular endurance, flexibility and respiratory conditioning.\nIn the mid-1800’s in Japan, there were a large number of styles (”ryu”) of jiu-jitsu (sometimes spelled “jujitsu”). Techniques varied between ryu, but generally included all manner of unarmed combat (strikes, throws, locks, chokes, wrestling, etc.) and occasionally some weapons training. One young but skilled master of a number of jiu-jitsu styles, Jigoro Kano, founded his own ryu and created the martial art Judo (aka Kano-ryu jiu-jitsu) in the 1880’s. One of Kano’s primary insights was to include full-power practice against resisting, competent opponents, rather than solely rely on the partner practice that was much more common at the time. One of Kano’s students was Mitsuo Maeda, who was also known as Count Koma (”Count of Combat”). Maeda emigrated to Brazil in 1914.\nHe was helped a great deal by the Brazilian politician Gastao Gracie, whose father George Gracie had emigrated to Brazil himself from Scotland. In gratitude for the assistance, Maeda taught jiu-jitsu to Gastao’s son Carlos Gracie. Carlos in turn taught his brothers Osvaldo, Gasto Jr., Jorge, and Helio. In 1925, Carlos and his brothers opened their first jiu-jitsu academy, and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu was born in Brazil. At this point, the base of techniques in BJJ was similar to those in Kano’s Judo academy in Japan. As the years progressed, however, the brothers (notably Carlos and Helio) and their students refined their art via brutal no-rules fights, both in public challenges and on the street. Particularly notable was their willingness to fight outside of weight categories, permitting a skilled small fighter to attempt to defeat a much larger opponent. They began to concentrate more and more on submission ground fighting, especially utilizing the guard position. This allowed a weaker man to defend against a stronger one, bide his time, and eventually emerge victorious.\nIn the 1970’s, the undisputed jiu-jitsu champion in Brazil was Rolls Gracie. He had taken the techniques of jiu-jitsu to a new level. Although he was not a large man, his ability to apply leverage using all of his limbs was unprecedented. At this time the techniques of the open guard and its variants (spider guard, butterfly guard) became a part of BJJ. Rolls also developed the first point system for jiu-jitsu only competition. The competitions required wearing a gi, awarded points (but not total victories) for throws and takedowns, and awarded other points for achieving different ground positions (such as passing an opponent’s guard). After Rolls’ death in a hang-gliding accident, Rickson Gracie became the undisputed (and undefeated!) champion, a legend throughout Brazil and much of the world. He has been the exemplar of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu technique for the last two decades, since the early 1980’s, in both jiu-jitsu competition and no-rules MMA competition.\nJiu-jitsu techniques have continued to evolve as the art is constantly tested in both arenas. For example, in the 1990’s Roberto “Gordo” Correa, a BJJ black belt, injured one of his knees, and to protect his leg he spent a lot of practice time in the half-guard position. When he returned to high-level jiu-jitsu competition, he had the best half-guard technique in the world. A position that had been thought of as a temporary stopping point, or perhaps a defensive-only position, suddenly acquired a new complexity that rapidly spread throughout the art. In the early 1990’s, Rorion Gracie moved from Brazil to Los Angeles. He wished to show the world how well the Gracie art of jiu-jitsu worked.\nIn Brazil, no-rules Mixed Martial Art (MMA) contests (known as “vale tudo”) had been popular since Carlos Gracie first opened his academy in 1925, but in the world at large most martial arts competition was internal to a single style, using the specialized rules of that style’s practice. Rorion and Art Davie conceived of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. This was a series of pay-per-view television events in the United States that began in 1993. They pitted experts of different martial arts styles against each other in an environment with very few rules, in an attempt to see what techniques “really worked” when put under pressure. Rorion also entered his brother Royce Gracie, an expert in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, as one of the contestants. Royce dominated the first years of the UFC against all comers, amassing eleven victories with no fighting losses. At one event he defeated four different fighters in one night. This, from a fighter that was smaller than most of the others (at 170 lbs, in an event with no weight classes), looked thin and scrawny, and used techniques that most observers, even experienced martial artists, didn’t understand.\nIn hindsight, much of Royce’s success was due to the fact that he understood very well (and had trained to defend against) the techniques that his opponents would use, whereas they often had no idea what he was doing to them. In addition, the ground fighting strategy and techniques of BJJ are among the most sophisticated in the world. Besides the immediate impact of an explosion of interest in BJJ across the world (particularly in the US and Japan), the lasting impact of Royce’s early UFC dominance is that almost every successful MMA fighter now includes BJJ as a significant portion of their training.\nWe offer BJJ classes that can fit into your schedule.

I’ll hope you watch the video embedded in the article and see why those lines work so well. But, a spoiler: music.\nNot surprising, really. A wordless tune is appealing to us in many ways, one of the most important being cadence. Songs lay words over melody and cadence, and a great prose passage pays attention to cadence.\nI’ve always thought that great story tellers lean heavily on cadence … we almost hear the music as they speak. A good reason to read one’s work aloud.\nWhen a luthier is making the top of an acoustic guitar, he or she is faced with a delicate balancing act: the spruce used for good tops is thin, 1/8” or less. And the tone of the instrument depends on putting enormous tension on this fragile sheet. The top needs support, but too much support deadens tone. The solution: scalloped bracing. The luthier adds braces, then finally shaves away as much as possible, leaving just enough to keep the instrument from collapsing.\nSo, your point, John?\nRewrite is similar, and it helps me to use the model of the luthier. The first draft is the rough top, braces in the right places (plot elements, characterization and so on). The rewrite scallops the braces, usually removing unnecessary wood so the story can ring true.\nI guess it’s possible to torture this simile too much, but the thought helps me through the minutiae – those gentle passes of the draw knife over the brace that give the guitar – and the story – its voice.", "domain": "hobby"}

By slowing your exposure time or increasing the aperture, depth of field may be more finely controlled and movement more easily conveyed. Simultaneously, this filter can help reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a nonmetallic surface. The light from the sun becomes partially polarized by reflecting off electrons in the air, causing light to scatter into what appears as haze. A polarizing filter arranges and filters this directionally polarized light perpendicularly to the reflected light, allowing for the absorption of much of this light. This results in a noticeable reduction in glare and reflections from nonmetallic surfaces and an increase in the saturation of skies and foliage. The combination of these two functions makes this an essential filter for landscape photography.", "domain": "hobby"}

The community also empowers members to discover new ideas, get inspired, participate in challenges, register products, and get self-service support when needed.\nOlympus understood building a thriving community is an ongoing process.\nThey understood it requires continual observation, improvements and upgrades to satisfy the community members’ evolving needs. After a successful launch, the company wanted to find a long-term partner to help deliver additional services, provide unique member experiences, and drive its community strategy forward.\nTo ensure maximum functionality, stability, and optimum user experiences while tackling ongoing advancements, Olympus chose 4 Roads to handle the project due to its extensive experience with Verint Community.\n4 Roads began by upgrading MyOlympus to the latest version of Verint Community to introduce improvements to user experience, functionality, and bug resolution. This upgrade then opened the door for MyOlympus to begin utilising more advanced Verint Community features.\nThis was an extremely complex Verint project. It was essential for us that we worked with a highly experienced delivery partner who could take a holistic view of the project.\nWe didn’t just need technical expertise, we needed a partner who could also deliver community strategy and advise on content and design. This made 4 Roads the ideal partner for us.\nAna Maria Albert\nWith the initial upgrade complete, members saw immediate UX improvements, with feedback praising updates like the added transparency on service request status, the ability to download repair reports and more intuitive logging forms.\nHowever, an ambition to provide members with the best customer experiences and increase brand loyalty meant the next evolution of MyOlympus required 4 Roads to develop custom plugins to expand on the core functionality. This is a key benefit of Verint’s Community platform.\nWith other community platforms on the market, there can be a glass ceiling on what you can achieve. However, this is where Verint Community excels. It’s built for extensibility and allowed Olympus and 4 Roads to create experiences that are as unique as the brand itself. Upgrades included:\nHow it turned out\nToday, MyOlympus is a truly thriving community, and continues to grow thanks to the extensive nature of Verint Community.\nWith more than 410,000 members across Europe and 230,000 photos shared, the upgraded MyOlympus community allows Olympus to:\nReaffirm their position as market leaders\nInspire & encourage new customers\nCreate stronger brand loyalty\nEnhance their customer experience\nImprove customer-to-customer support\nEngage customers with competitions\nEncourage more brand ambassadors\nMembers in Europe\nmonthly page views\nmonthly contest submissions\nPhotos shared in the community\nIn collaboration with Verint and 4 Roads, Olympus made its vision come to life, creating one of the most thriving digital support and engagement communities.\nMyOlympus continues to be a catalyst for growth, delivering loyalty-building experiences. It has also become a key component in their long-term customer success strategy, helping Olympus continue in its mission of empowering customers and opening up new possibilities for those who share a love of photography.\n“Updated design, functionality, and streamlined processes make a big difference to user experience and member retention. We knew this would be challenging, but we were confident that with close collaboration with the 4 Roads team it would be a success.”", "domain": "hobby"}

It is a game that can take years to master and requires a lot of practice. However, not everyone has the time or the resources to spend on regular golf lessons or trips to the golf course. This is where a golf simulator comes in. A golf simulator is a device that allows you to play golf indoors, using a virtual reality simulation. In this article, we will discuss why you need to buy a golf simulator and the benefits that come with owning one.\nOne of the main reasons to buy a golf simulator is convenience. With a golf simulator, you can play golf anytime you want, regardless of the weather conditions outside. You do not have to worry about booking tee times or traveling to the golf course. All you need is a small space in your home, such as a garage or spare room, to set up the simulator. This means that you can practice your swing and work on your game, even on days when you would not be able to play golf otherwise.\nAnother reason to buy a golf simulator is cost-effectiveness. Golf is an expensive sport and the cost of playing a round of golf can add up quickly. However, with a golf simulator, you can play as much as you want, without having to pay for green fees or cart rentals. This means that you can save a lot of money in the long run, while still enjoying the game of golf.\nImprove Your Game\nA golf simulator can also help you improve your game. With a simulator, you can work on your swing, practice your shots and learn how to read the course. You can also track your progress and see how you are improving over time. This means that you can work on your weaknesses and become a better golfer, without having to leave your home.\nPlay Any Course\nWith a golf simulator, you can also play any course in the world. Golf Simulators for sale come with a variety of virtual courses, from famous courses like Pebble Beach and Augusta National, to local courses in your area. This means that you can play the courses you have always dreamed of playing, without having to travel to those destinations.\nA golf simulator is also a great source of entertainment. You can invite friends and family over to play a round of golf or even host a golf tournament. This can be a fun way to spend time with loved ones, while also enjoying the game of golf. Golf simulators also come with a variety of game modes, such as target practice and mini-games which can be a fun way to mix up your golfing experience.\nGolf simulators can also be a great way to stay active and fit. While golf may not seem like a strenuous activity, it does require a lot of physical activity, such as walking and swinging. With a golf simulator, you can get the same physical benefits of playing golf, without having to leave your home. This can be a great way to stay in shape, especially during the colder months when it may be difficult to stay active outdoors.\nFinally, golf simulators can be customized to fit your needs and preferences. You can choose the type of simulator that works best for you, whether it is a full simulator with a golf course and swing analyzer or a more basic simulator that focuses on swing analysis. You can also choose the type of equipment you want to use, such as golf clubs and balls and even the type of flooring you want to use.", "domain": "hobby"}

The two gemstones are rich in the color of red and can appear quite similar if you're not aware of the different characteristics each gemstone has. Obviously, there are some notable differences since the value of rubies are substantially higher than garnet, so let's dive into it.\nRuby Vs. Garnet\nThe typical technique used to identify a ruby from a garnet is to simply analyze the color of it. Now, I know this may seem pretty obvious but it's important to know this because the color difference is noticeably visible for most rubies vs. garnets. The hue, or color, of a ruby is usually a light to medium red (as you can see in the picture on the left) whereas the color of a garnet is typically a darker red with some hints of burgundy and maroon. This isn't the case for all rubies however as they can also have a darker tint of red which could lead to some possible confusion.\nEven though rubies can have a darker tint to them, much like a garnet, they will always have\na clearer clarity and stronger light refraction opposed to a garnet. If you were to hold a ruby under a light and examine the the light patterns that reflect off the ruby you will notice a rainbow appear with numerous shades of red and blue whereas a garnet will give off a rainbow with various shades of yellow and green.\nTo add to that; a ruby is a double refractive stone opposed to a garnet being a singly refractive stone. Now what this basically means is that when holding the ruby under the light and moving it around you'll eventually notice that the rainbow will almost be blurred, this is because the double refractive stone, in this case the ruby, will give off two rainbows that will look like they are right above or below each other. Whereas a garnet will give off a simple, more clear yellow-green rainbow.\nLab Grown Rubies\nLab grown rubies may even be a safer bet when purchasing a ruby. These rubies are known to be of higher quality than those that are mined and hold the same physical, chemical and optical make-up and lowering the risk of being screwed over of some sort.\nIf you wish to browse some lab grown ruby pieces (up to 90% off) that we offer here at GloLabs, click here.", "domain": "hobby"}

Yes it does and I will tell you why. Over the years I have played many hundreds of different balls. For a long time it did not matter which one I pulled out as long as it was round and was not smiling at me. Well that is unless it was the last one in my bag. A few years ago I decided that I would get a little serious about which golf ball I played. I was just looking for a ball that would not go as far in the woods as other balls. That ruled out any used ball because there is a reason they are used. It also ruled out the much harder to hit balls that you have to swing a million miles per hour in order to compress them. What I was left with was a wide variety of balls that made stupid claims. Even if I found one that was good they would stop making it in order to get me to buy the new and improved version. These days I have settled on one brand and type of ball. Now I must say that I do not get any money from Bridgestone nor am I looking for any. There are other brands that I like such as Callaway and Nike but I chose to hit the Bridgestone e series balls. When the e-5 first came out I really liked it. This was a ball that not only stays closer to the fairway but I can stop it on the green. The only drawback is that you lose a bit of distance. This was resolved with the e-6 ball. I got back the lost yardage however I have a much harder time getting them to stop on the green. Now they have introduced the e-7 which is crazy long and forget about it even stopping anywhere near where you want it to stop. My game in the past few years has been very simple. Well at least in theory. The philosophy starts off with getting the ball off the tee and into a position where I can hit it again. If it is a par3 I don’t mind missing the green as long as it is in a place where I can try to get it close and make par. On the Par 4’s I use the same concept. I don’t mind missing the green and in some cases, well most, I try to get around the green where I can chip or pitch close and get a par. Par 5s, I try something a bit different. My goal is to turn every par 5 into a par 3. Get the ball within an iron shot with my second. This way I don’t feel the pressure of having to pull out the big gun and try to make the impossible shot. With the e-5 ball I can play this strategy on most courses and play a decent round. With the e-6 it gets a bit dicey around the greens but makes for an interesting game. The e-7 ball makes this strategy basically useless. If you decide to play this ball, do it on a day where size matters. Where everyone is showing their ego’s as if anyone cared. Your iron play will suffer because you never know which club to use. Your driver will ruin your day. A couple of weeks ago we were playing a very long course so naturally I wanted to get the extra distance. I brought a couple of sleeves of the e-7’s and began to use them. Normally if I am hitting my drives straight they go anywhere between 220 and 230. Not bad for me. That day I was hitting the ball (when straight) distances over 250 with one about 290 and another over 300 yards. In fairness I have to give a lot of credit to my Callaway Razar driver but this ball is crazy long so the two together are mind numbing. All day long I watched my partners pull out 6 irons and I was pulling out 9’s and 8’s and in some cases a wedge was too much club. As the day went on it was getting very windy. You play a ball like that and you never know what you are going to get. One particular par 3 we had a crossing wind from right to left at about 20mph. This was a very scary hole because again the wind can take your ball anywhere it wants. Normally when I have any wind blowing across the green my natural (instructor given) swing takes the ball on a right to left trajectory so I have to be very careful. I stepped up on the tee box, the hole was about 165 yards and had a 6 iron. My goal was to aim to the right of the green and keep it as low as possible in order to duck under some of the wind. I have a very good punch shot that I play so I was hoping it would not be a problem. When I hit the ball, it went slightly higher than I wanted to so I expected the wind to take over and throw it left of the green. Well it didn’t. Instead the ball just cut through the air and landed on the right side of the green. THE BALL NEVER TURNED!!!!! This was nothing new to me because I have had many shots that didn’t turn out like I had planned on but this one was very unusual because it SHOULD HAVE TURNED!!!!! It was not until later that week that I found out that the e-7 was also designed to bore through the wind adding another wrinkle to finding out how to play this ball. I love this series of balls however with the e-5 I can play a fair round and expect a decent score but that is boring and it gives me a ceiling. With the e-6 I sacrifice the expectation of a good round but get the possibility that I can go very low for my standards and even break 80. The e-7 presents the biggest problem for me. I can attack the course and in some cases over power it from the white tees but it is very hard to score with this ball. It presents a very good time playing as long as I do not care about how many balls I hit through the fairway and into the water that I previously thought was unreachable. No matter which ball I decide to play on any given week, they are all good balls in that they are not only durable but stay in bounds more than any other brand I have played.\nNovember 2017 M T W T F S S « May 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30", "domain": "hobby"}

More booze, more food and way more hangovers. So how do we stay fit whilst travelling? Especially if we’re travelling for an extensive period or time with friends that think a Bloody Mary for breakfast constitutes a balanced meal?\nHere are my top 5 tips on how to stay fit whilst travelling;\n1. Run Places\nRunning is a fantastic way to not only get a great conditioning workout in, but also to see the local sights. I’ve been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to run in each continent of the earth (except for Antarctica…not THAT crazy guys!) and in doing so, experienced and encountered situations, people and communities I might not have otherwise.\nSome of my most memorable moments were whilst running, as this modality of movement enhances our interactions and how we experience our surroundings; in the spectrum of colours, sights and types of smells we encounter as much more vivid. One particular run I recall was in Zanzibar before summiting Mt Kilimanjaro. I embarked on a run through tiny villages, across unkept fields where the local school children were playing an intense game of football, whilst cows grazed and horses milling around, continuing on through rolling hills and finishing at the coast line where I jumped into the ocean as a sweet reward. Had I not run, I would have had a limited view of my surroundings, especially when staying in an area for a limited time.\nRunning can take many forms. It can be from one spot to another, or involve short bursts of intensity for 15-20 seconds at a time. If you’re looking at balancing out an indulgent night, the latter is a great way to burn body fat in a short amount of time. Walking is also a great way to get around, and get a true feel for the community you’re exploring. If you’re travelling for work, perhaps a walking meeting rather than sitting in a conference room could be an option, or running errands on foot.\n2. Bust a move at a Community Gym\nBefore I do any extensive travel, I look up where the locals train. Yep, I can hear you roll your eyes but hear me out….when I’m on holidays, and usually travelling solo, I like to assimilate into my surrounding and experience as close to an authentic experience of a place as possible. This doesn’t necessarily mean a conventional gym and can involve riding bikes, horses, playing a game of basketball, doing a barre class, swimming or a rock climbing session. In commiting to this practice, I also get access to making friends with the kinds of people with similar interests I would back home. If you’re travelling for work, this is a go-to, especially if you’ve been sitting in an office all day. You’ll be surprised how good you feel afterwards and your body will thank you for it.\n3. Eat fresh, Eat like a Local\nEvery time I travel, I make it a part of my mission to eat what locals would eat. I love the idea of immersing myself in a culture, and that extends to the flavour of the region. Most of the time, this means asking around what a speciality of that particular area may be, or seeking recommendations of ‘street food’ or great eateries that locals swear by. This will often mean you’ll get the freshest access to cultural dishes; fish, meats or legumes and seasonal vegetables prepared in a style that accentuates their flavours. Eating fresh reduces the liklihood of any preservatives, flavours or fillers in the food and increases the various nutrients it contains. You might even fall in love with a particular dish and be inspired to re-create it when you get back home!\n4. Hike or Dance\nHiking is a great functional cardiovascular workout that not only gets you to see places from a completely different vantage point, but from a different perspective. It allows you the time, the visual stimulation and the time to ourselves, away from the modern stresses of society to really switch off and get lost in our own thoughts and subconsciously kneed out any issues, underlying questions and thoughts we may have, that our constantly connected culture rarely allows us to do.\nIf you can’t hike, then dance. I know personally when doing either of these, it really clarifies my thoughts and allows me to re-connect with myself. Whilst hiking, the sounds, smells and stimulation I experience can only be gathered from spending time in nature. Ditto for dancing, depending on where you decide to bust a move!\n5. Mobilise ‘Dem Legs\nVisiting a myriad of sights on foot during the day tightens hamstrings, hips and calves, especially if we’re travelling for an extended period of time. Having a few props such as mobility balls, “spikes” balls or “tune up” myofascial balls are an easy, portable way to release tight muscles without forking out for a pricey massage, that you can perform from the comfort of your room. You can work these into tight hips, lower back, achilles, ankles and shins and get some sweet release in minutes. A yoga practice is also a great alternative to mobilise, as it not only gives us an outlet to re-calibrate the body, but gives us clarify for the mind after a long day.\nLoved my Top 5 Tips Whilst Travelling?

I am always finding new subjects to paint which keeps this group of paintings fresh and fun.\nThese quote signs are an inexpensive way to express a bit of yourself. I have a huge library of quotes that I use ranging from the hilariously inappropriate to heartfelt sentiments. Either way they make a wonderful gift item. Often at shows, people just stand and flip through the whole bin of these signs often laughing to themselves or showing friends. They are each hand painted on reclaimed pine boards and come in the mini size approx. 5″ x 7″ or the larger 12″ x 12″.\nThese beautiful quote signs are most often purchased to be a very special gift for a wedding or baby. Each one is framed in a vintage frame making every one completely individual. Frames range from simple to very ornate frames that are themselves pieces of art work. I often do custom signs that really personalize the gift to match a nursery or home.\nThis category varies greatly. We often find vintage beds, benches or trunks and add a handpainted quote to them. We also search for antique treasures and build one of a kind pieces from architectural salvage, antique columns, and decades old barnwood.\nThese come in multiple sizes: we have single frames in 5 x 7 or 8 x 10 photo sizes, doubles and triples in 5 x 7. On many occasions we have done larger frames that hold 4, 5, or 6 photos and are great over a double door or in a cluster over a sofa or in a hallway.\nWe can do any color combination, but our standards are black and white, sage and chocolate brown, gray and white and blue and white.\nThese beautiful pieces are made using salvaged pieces of tin. They range from quote signs to mirrors and others. The quote signs are done on salvaged plywood that is attached to corrugated tin w/ industrial bolts. Very cutting edge and a great accent for an industrial environment. We often sell these to restaurants, bars and coffee shops. They can be done in any size w/ any quote.\nThese beautiful line features lamps made made from antique columns and porch post. Each lamp is individually made and often the columns still have their original paint. They are a unique accent piece for living room or bedroom.

Local school children under 18 were asked to compose an inspiring photographic image to reflect what living sustainably in St Albans meant to them along with a short description (25 words max) explaining their work. This was open to anyone at Infant, Junior or Secondary School and prizes included £100 for the winner of each age category. There were also prizes for the best combined entry (e.g. a photo montage) from a school, year, class, or youth group.\nCaroline Wilkins, Competition Organiser said “We were impressed by the incredible response to the competition. There were over 100 entries and they illustrated a very wide variety of themes on the subject of sustainability.” The difficult task of deciding the winning entrants fell to the expert eyes of the judging panel of Danny Loo, photographer for the Herts Advertiser, Emma Collins, a local lifestyle documentary photographer, and Sandy Adams from Plastic Free St Albans. They focused hard on every entry, searching for quality images that showed evidence of artistic skill and original inspiring ideas. In the sec-ondary school under 18 age band of the competition, Daniela Trhacova from Oaklands College won first prize and received £100, in 2nd place STAGS Year 7 student Nixie Kibbey was awarded £50 and 3rd came Sandring-ham school student Holly Cutler who received a cheque for £25. Nixie said ‘I am very excited and happy to have won and I plan to save my prize money’.\nFinalists and shortlisted photos will now be displayed during Sustainable St Albans Week on the children’s display board in Harpenden library until Saturday 5th May and in the Courtyard Cafe, Hatfield Road, St Albans. At the conclusion of the week, ‘Living St Albans Photography Exhibition’ will be on show at Verulamium Museum from Monday 30 April to Sunday 3 June.", "domain": "hobby"}

Rooted in renowned child development theories, our innovative\ncurriculum provides kids ages 18 months to 9 years the skills they need to learn soccer and grow as\nindividuals, all while having a blast. Come see why more than a million kids nationwide love our\nprogram! Classes meet weekly for 50 minutes.\nLil’ Kickers has helped our wild two year old channel some of his energy into positive learning experiences. The coaches are amazing and our son looks forward to his class each week!\n—Father, Son age 2\nI have two daughters in the Lil’ Kickers soccer program. They both absolutely love it and look forward to going on Saturday. It has instilled a sense of accomplishment in them and also boosted their self-assurance and self-esteem. Physically it keeps them active and has definitely increased their hand-eye coordination and soccer kills. It has been a great bonding experience for my daughters and I and provides us a consistent way to spend quality time.\n—Father, Daughters age 3 and 4\nMy son has been attending the program for almost 2.5 years. The program has been great at not only teaching him the beginning fundamentals of soccer, but also teaching him interaction with other adults and children. He has grown socially and his ability to play in a team setting has greatly improved. I feel each level of the program caters ideally to each age group. The coaches are great and my son enjoys the program and looks forward to going every week. I have another child that is 20 months right now and I will surely register him for the Lil’ Kickers program.\n—Mother, Son age 5\nLil’ Kickers is the highlight of my daughter’s week. As soon as I pull her uniform out, she starts jumping up and down with excitement. Not only is it a great way for her to burn off her extra energy, but she has learned so much there in such a short amount of time.\n—Mother, Daughter age 2\nLil’ Kickers combines an age appropriate soccer program that promotes skill development while having lots of fun! My daughter loves the coaches, the games and the very supportive approach of the coaches and staff. She can’t wait to go to soccer practice!\n—Father, Daughter age 3\nOur son has been in Lil’ Kickers since he was just a little more than 18 months, since then he’s become very accustomed to the coaches, the routine, and looks forward to soccer every Saturday morning. The coaches are so patient with all the kids at any age level. They are very good at bringing the kids together during class, even with other distractions. The stability and routine of the class is great for the kids, they become used to rules as they get older and move into more team oriented playing.\n— Father, Son age 5\n18 – 24 MONTHS\n15:1 CHILD-TO-COACH RATIO\nOften a child’s first experience with group learning, this class is designed to give them a perfect start.\nManaging a class full of toddlers can be like herding kittens. They’re playful, sometimes skittish and easily distracted. But with the right structure and interactions, a lot can happen. Activities with bubbles, parachutes, cones and other sensory toys build skills for balance, coordination, running, tracking, kicking and changing directions—all building blocks needed for playing soccer. With parents by their side, our youngest Lil’ Kickers feel safe to explore new experiences and create new relationships while learning in a fun and dynamic environment.\n24 – 36 MONTHS\n12:1 CHILD-TO-COACH RATIO\nIn this class, kids begin to learn to actively engage with the coach and other players.\n“Why?” Hang around enough with this age group of curious, older toddlers and you will hear that word a lot. Working with Thumpers and their parents, we welcome their inquisitive nature and sense of wonderment in learning. We use those traits to shape confidence and self-esteem to further build core movements like balance, coordination and timing–all necessary for mastering a soccer ball. While parent involvement continues here, this class bridges the gap between parallel play and directly interacting with the coach and other players. So “why” take a Thumpers class? Because it is a blast.\n3 & 4 YEARS\n7:1 or 14:2 CHILD-TO-COACH RATIO\nTo share and share alike? Not always. These kiddos are raring to go, but need lots of direction to get there.\nPreschoolers have a hard time sharing, but we help get them there. After all, soccer (and life!) is all about give-and-take. The goal of these classes is to create teammates who are coachable and eager to learn. Sharing is a big part of that. Creative storylines and animated coaches keep kids engaged and having fun. They won’t even know they’re working hard and learning. They’ll come away with important skills for soccer and beyond.\n5 & 6 YEARS\n12:1 CHILD-TO-COACH RATIO\nFor kids who are just getting introduced to organized soccer or who are less competitive by nature but want a great soccer experience.\nSome kids are a little shy and perhaps not very competitive by nature, but still want to learn a sport and have a team experience. We get that. Big Feet classes serve these kids well. Full of all the same fun, goofiness and opportunities to learn soccer and life skills, these classes do it just a little differently. After all, lack of experience or temperament shouldn’t keep us from getting in the game.\n4 – 7 YEARS\nFor kids who are driven to play.\nDoes your child always have a ball at their feet? Constantly talk about soccer? Or are they simply driven to get better? Created for kids who are motivated soccer players, Micro classes kick it up a notch. While coaching remains child-centered and fun this curriculum is fundamentals focused and provides game-like situations each week that help solidify learning. Players enjoy 30 minutes of age-appropriate instruction and 20 minutes of small-sided scrimmaging. Currently, classes are offered by age and include Micro 4/5 and Micro 6/7.", "domain": "hobby"}

As an ardent student of karate ,I have highlighted below some deeper influences and benefits of martial arts training beyond the physical dimension. The article has a larger emphasis on Japanese art forms especially karate.\nPersonal Conduct , Demeanor and Respect\nMartial arts imparts etiquettes: Etiquette is having good manners as accepted by a group. We get acceptance with conformance to the group’s etiquette, so are the etiquettes and manners in martial arts. This evolves a culture of discipline, mutual respect, and Esprit de corps. A teacher is addressed as Sensei, and as the expertise levels increase, they are addressed as as Renshi ,Kyoshi ,Hanshi, Shihan and so on. The student is addressed as Sempai and this is the common name each student uses to address each other irrespective of age or designation. This brings a deep sense of respect for art form by pure merit of knowledge of the Martial arts. Hence though the ranking system may look hierarchical , yet it disconnects the basic involvement of the self or ego, and puts priority on the levels of learning and experience as a lens to look at each other..\nSense of belonging\nThe Martial Arts Dojo: Its the Martial arts school or center. A room where martial arts ,or in Zen Buddhism meditation is practiced. .In Japanese it means the - \"Place of the Way\". Bowing to the Dojo is a practice to give respect to the temple of training and knowledge.\nMotivation & Resilience\nGreetings and Wishing: The term Osu is the Karate Dojo greeting. Osu means patience, determination and perseverance. When you are pushing yourself beyond your limits, you use Osu! An Important marker to remind us to train harder and exceed ones limits.\nSalutations :Before the daily sessions begin one needs to show respects and bow down to the Dojo, the masters and the teacher at charge, Following are the salutations used in Karate:\nSensei ni rei : I salute the masters\nShomen ni rei : bow to the front (to all the masters who came before us)\nDojo ni rei : I salute the Dojo (the temple of knowledge and training.)\nEvery time we train, the above salutations and rituals are practiced. These practices have deep impact on our minds to get wired in gratitude ,humility and a sense of acceptance of the world around us .\nCommitment , Loyalty & Dedication\nEvery session starts with a club Oath, and definite gratitude , commitment, and pledging of loyalty to the art form. This develops Esprit de corps.\nHighlight on The 3Ks of Karate\nMartial arts is an excellent physical activity for agility ,endurance, strength and power. A brief analysis of Karate and its practices would enable us to understand the larger impact it creates on mind and personality. The three essentials of Karate are Kata, Kihon and Kumite.\nKata : Kata is a Japanese word describing detailed patterns of movements practiced either solo or in pairs. kata are executed as a specified series of a variety of moves, with stepping and turning, while attempting to maintain perfect form. The kata is not intended as a literal depiction of a mock fight, but as a display of transition and flow from one posture and movement to another, teaching the student proper form and position, and encouraging them to visualize different scenarios for the use of each motion and technique.\nMindfulness :Meditation, clearing the mind and letting go of the ego are central to the philosophy of karate-do, and kata is considered to be moving meditation. While performing a kata one must become totally immersed in it, being present at each technique and not letting the mind wander on to what is coming up next or to what is happening around them.\nScenario planning: Karate katas teach us to be prepared of various scenarios, and they instill a great sense of foresight to situations and visualizations which are important trait of leadership especially decision making.\nThe practice and mastery of kihon is essential to all advanced training, and includes the practice of correct body form and breathing, while practicing basics such as stances, punches, kicks, blocks, and thrusts, but it also includes basic representative kata.\nPractice & Perfection: Every act of punching and kicking has to be done with perfection and speed to get the required power. Bruce lee said “ I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.” That's the value of repetition and practice\nKumite : Kumite or sparring literally \"grappling hands , is one of the three main sections of karate training, along with kata and kihon. Kumite is the part of karate in which a person trains against an adversary, using the techniques learned from the kihon and kata. For Sparring -Strategy- is vital.\nStrategy - Courage - Presence of Mind\nAttack , defend, shock or cause fear in the opponent : all these seem like war strategies at a micro level. Martial arts enables strategic thinking with its forms and maneuvers. That the essence of kumite.\nOne of the most impressive quotes heard in martial arts is \" Be like water\" : quoted by the legendary Bruce lee who developed his own style of martial art Jeet Kune Do , According to him the Mind has to be formless, and shapeless ,emptied during Martial arts and the individual should be in the moment waiting for opportunities and the results just happen, At that moment there is no thought or emotions, it just remains a process which is learnt over hard training! This is vital in some forms of leadership decisions ,in finding opportunities and actioning it with disassociation and neutrality.\nPower and Fighting spirit\nThe power of kiai :Kiai is a Japanese term used in martial arts for the short shout uttered when performing an attacking move. Students of Japanese martial arts such as aikido, karate, kobudo, kendo, or judo (or related arts such as taiko drumming) use Kiai to startle an opponent, intimidate, express confidence, or express victory.\nMindfulness , Mental mobility and Composure.\nMindfulness : Martial arts encourages the practice of being in the moment , Meditation and Katas are meant to make the process spiritual and realize our full potential as human beings. Every reaction to the opponent during a sparring session happens in the moment. By being in moment,\nThe Martial artist is able to use the learning without a Bias or emotion to perfection as per situation. This is a true mark of mental mobility and flexibility, so vital for leadership. realizing the value of what is existing and present. To be conscious of the moment is like pausing our thinking and emotions for a moment. This is a key tenet of habit building, habit controls and in being self aware. These qualities have direct impact on self development and leadership.\nThe world of Martial arts looks like a quest for seeking completeness as a Human.. Martial arts indeed is an awakening of mind and body! I am Loving my Journey in this world for now.\nKindly share your feelings and Comments.", "domain": "hobby"}

There are many options for fruit trees, berry bushes, herbs, and even vegetables that are as ornamental as any traditionally grown for their appearance. This year on phigblog I’m going to feature a different all-star edible ornamental each month, starting with trees and working my way down to annuals.\nTOP FIVE ALL-STAR EDIBLE ORNAMENTAL TREES:\nAlthough all fruit trees are attractive in bloom and when loaded with ripe fruit, the following trees would stand out for their ornamental qualities even without regard for the delicious fruit they provide:\n1. JUNEBERRY (Amelanchier spp)\nAlso known as serviceberry, shadblow, and saskatoon, this native tree wins my top prize due to its multiple seasons of beauty. In fact, juneberries are very common in the landscape trade (usually sold as serviceberries) because of their aesthetic qualities and general adaptability. It is their excellent fruit that is more commonly overlooked.\nThere are multiple species with slight variations, but all share the same basic characteristics. Juneberries start the spring off with a fine display of white flowers covering the tree in April before the leaves emerge. This is followed by the berries, which mature from pink to dark purple in June (hence the preferred name). The berries are generally fairly prolific and taste a lot like blueberries, with small seeds that add a hint of almond. I find their flavor best when they’re transitioning from red to purple, before they’ve fully darkened. They’re great for fresh eating and make excellent pies and preserves. Birds also love them, so you may have some competition. The fact that the fruit is small and also popular with birds (fruit rarely survives long enough to drop) makes Juneberries one of the few advisable fruits for street tree plantings. June is a joyful time in my West Philly neighborhood for me and a few other Juneberry enthusiasts, as walking to the trolley stop always includes browsing on handfuls of delectable berries along the way.\nThrough the summer, the leaves of the juneberry retain a rich, bluish green hue. These mature to a dependable and sometimes spectacular fall color, ranging from yellow to orange to brick red depending on species and cultivar. The smooth grey bark is even a plus for winter interest. The growth habit tends to be multi-stemmed and sometimes suckering, but juneberries can also be trained to a single trunk with consistent pruning. Most commonly sold species and cultivars grow in the 15 to 25 foot range, but a few smaller shrub types (A. alnifolia, etc) only get 6 to 8 feet in height. All are fairly adaptable to soil types and tolerant of part shade.\n2. CORNELIAN CHERRY (Cornus mas)\nNot in fact a true cherry, this outstanding edible ornamental is actually a member of the dogwood family. Cornelian Cherry stands out for its remarkable early bloom, often covered with stunning yellow flowers in March or even February. Blooming weeks before Forsythia, this harbinger of spring fortells a season of fruit as well as beauty!\nThe summer or early fall fruit resembles a tart cherry in flavor, although it does have its own distinctive taste component as well. There are both red and yellow fruited varieties and the fruit itself is quite attractive on the tree. Flavor often improves if left on the tree longer or left to ripen for a couple days off the tree. Cornelian Cherry has been culvitated for thousands of years in Europe and the Caucasus. In addition to fresh consumption, they have been dried, juiced, pickled, and otherwise processed into jellies, liqueurs, serbets, pies, syrups, and more.\nCornelian Cherry is very easy to grow, having none of the pest or disease problems that effect true cherries. They are adaptable to a variety of soils and will grow happily and even produce fruit in partial shade. Trees can reach twenty or more feet in height, but can be kept smaller with some pruning. The natural habit is multi-stemmed and upright, although it can be trained to a single trunk and will move towards a more spreading form with age or shade. In addition to its spectacular bloom and colorful fruit, Cornelian Cherry features attractive dogwood-like foliage that sometimes turns a decent red in fall. Even in winter, the flaky bark provides some interest.\n3. Medlar (Mespilus germanica)\nI first experienced the beauty of this old European fruit tree on a stroll through a botanic garden in Florence, Italy before my brother’s wedding. It was spring and the tree was in bloom, the white flowers resembling those of an old-fashioned single rose. This made enough of an impression, along with the tree’s relative obscurity and intriguing descriptions of its fruit, that I have since planted a Medlar in both my yard and my brother’s yard.\nThe rose-like flowers are further enhanced by their contrast to dark green leaves, but the Medlar also has other attractive features. Fall color can range from yellow to various shades of orange, red, and purple, usually with multiple colors on the tree and even on individual leaves at the same time. The fruit itself is not particularly handsome but does turn a fair bronze color and will hang on the tree even after the leaves have fallen, creating late fall and winter interest. In fact, for this reason Medlars are one of the best candidates for fruiting street trees (along with cherries and juneberries) as they are unlikely to make any mess.\nI must concede here that I have yet to taste the Medlar fruit, although I expect to have some from my tree to sample this fall. Catalogs describe the flavor as that of spiced apple sauce with the texture of a baked apple when fully ripened. The 1 to 2 inch spherical fruit are often harvested while still hard in late fall and then bletted (stored until they soften) for a couple weeks. It is also possible to leave the fruit on the tree until it softens, although this can result in a somewhat drier texture. Regardless, it is the soft sweet interior flesh that is eaten, not the outer skin or seeds. Medlars can also be processed into jams, fruit leathers, and pies. The former popularity of this now obscure fruit can be witnessed in frequent appearances Medieval European art and writings.\nThe Medlar is a small tree, generally reaching no more than 10 to 12 feet in height, with often picturesque habit. The tree is easy to grow and long-lived, with few pest or disease problems and minimal need for annual pruning. Medlars are also quite adaptable to shade, although as with any fruit the quantity of production is greater in full sun. There are a handful of named cultivars that vary primarily in the size of the fruit and somewhat in growth habit and flavor. Medlar trees can be ordered from various specialty nurseries (like raintreenursery.com or onegreenworld.com) as bareroots in the spring. You are highly unlikely to find this old-fashioned, under-appreciated edible ornamental in the local nursery trade!\n4. Paw Paw (Asimina triloba)\nThis remarkable fruit tree instantly adds a tropical feeling to your yard! Although native from Texas up to New York and Nebraska, the Paw Paw is closely related to such tropical cousins the Custard Apple, Cherimoya, and Sweetsop. The fruit itself is unique for its northerly environs, up to 6″ long and mango-like in form. It matures from green to yellow-brown in late summer and the ripe fruit is usually split down the middle and eaten with a spoon. The soft flesh of the Paw Paw is reminiscent of banana custard, a real treat for a northern orchardist! Although the fruit doesn’t have a long shelf life (the primary reason why most Americans aren’t familiar with this wonderful American fruit), it can also be made into pies or other baked goods. Wild pawpaws can be somewhat variable in flavor and texture quality, but a lot of breeding work has been done in recent years and many improved named varieties are now available from specialist nurseries.\nThe primary ornamental feature of the Paw Paw is its large, lush, drooping leaves that are so unusual for a plant native to northern woods. The lance-shaped leaves can be a foot long and remain deep-green all summer before shifting to an often spectacular golden yellow in the fall. The tree tends towards conical in form and usually will reach 15 to 20 feet in height. Its natural habit is also to send up suckers from its root system, eventually resulting in a wide thicket if left to its devices. The Paw Paw also has fascinating if not especially ornamental flowers in late spring. The flowers can be two inches across and transition from green to a deep reddish purple, but because they hang downwards are not particularly noticeable except up close. Paw paw flowers are also somewhat malodorous, as they are intended to attract certain beetles and carrion flies rather than the bees that pollinate most fruit trees. Because these unusual pollinators aren’t always common, hand-pollinating from one tree to another with a paintbrush can greatly boost fruit set.\nPaw paws are generally very easy to grow and have little or no pest or disease problems of note. They also require little in the way of annual pruning other than cutting back suckers if a more tidy form is desired. What’s more, they almost entirely deer proof! In the wild, pawpaws are generally found as understory trees in woodland riverbottoms. They do like some shade while young and will successfully fruit in shade, but as with most fruiting plants they are most productive in full sun. They also prefer rich moist soils, but are actually much more adaptable to a wide range of conditions than many assume. Pawpaws are also taprooted, so don’t transplant well and generally need to be planted as small container plants. Two different varieties are required for pollination.\n5. ASIAN PEAR (Pyrus pyrifolia, ussuriensis, and x bretschneideri)\nAsian Pears have a wide range of seasonal attributes that make them one of the most beautiful of fruit trees. In spring they are covered with large clusters of attractive white flowers. The leaves unfold to a deep glossy green, wider and larger than those of European Pears. In summer, the large round fruit add additional interest, ranging from russet brown to yellow in coloration. Asian Pears can be stunning in fall, with leaves maturing to a wide range of colors from yellow to orange to red to purple, sometimes all on the same tree. Even winter can be a season of interest, with older trees displaying picturesque form.\nFor those who haven’t had the pleasure, the fruit of an Asian Pear is a delightful and surprising combination of crunchy and juicy. Unlike European Pears, the fruit ripens on the tree. Because they retain their firmness when ripe, the primary means of determining maturity are coloration and smell. There are hundreds of named varieties of Asian Pears originating primarily from Japan and China, varying in size, color, and flavor. Two varieties in close proximity are required for successful fruiting (consult a pollination chart for compatibility), although one variety ‘Shinseiki’ is partially self-fertile. There are several possible rootstock types for Asian Pears ranging from standard (30′ tall) to semi-dwarf (15′) to dwarf (8′). Asian Pears are very long lived (decades if not centuries) and can produce hundreds of pounds of fruit when mature.\nIn my experience with the Philadelphia Orchard Project, I’ve found Asian Pears to be the easiest to grow of the common fruit trees. They seem to suffer little in terms of pest and disease problems, especially in comparison to apples and peaches. Fireblight can be a serious problem for Asian Pears and needs to be pruned out at the first sign of infection. There are also a few fireblight resistant cultivars, including ‘Shinko’, ‘Seuri’, and ‘Korean Giant’. As with all the common fruit trees, annual winter pruning is necessary to create and maintain the healthiest and most productive trees. Training branches to more horizontal forms from their natural vertical habit is also strongly recommended.\nNOTE: Although these five fruit trees made my top edible ornamentals list, I would like to re-emphasize that most fruit trees have attractive qualities. The stone fruits (peaches, plums, cherries, and apricots) are all stunning during spring bloom. Pome fruits (apples, pears, and quinces) all have attractive flowers and handsome fruit. Their obscure relative the Shipova also has wonderful downy grey-green leaves. Hawthorns and crab apples are commonly planted as ornamentals and if their fruit quality was a little greater, they may have pushed into my top five with their multiple seasons of beauty. Persimmons have lovely glossy green leaves, stunning orange fruit, and interesting bark in winter. Anyone interested in reading about these and edible landscaping in general should read the works of Lee Reich (Landscaping with Fruit, Grow Fruit Naturally, Uncommon Fruits for Every Garden).", "domain": "hobby"}

The Brown trout on average will be larger with quite a few exceeding 10 lbs. Click here to view the latest in river and lake conditions.\nSummer fishing is quite challenging, using lighter rods and smaller nymphs, fishing for resident fish is sometimes a test of one's skill and patience. Spotting the fish first and then making the correct cast.\nThe scenery on these back-country streams is great and you may think that you are the only person in this world. Most can be access by 4x4 vehicle. For the angler that wants a real adventure a helicopter flight will get you in to the most remote rivers in our area.\nSummer fishing is mainly nymph fishing using 5-7 wt rods & smaller nymphs size 12-14,where as the winter fishing will require heavier rods e.g. 8-9 wt because of the much heavier nymphs that we use.\nThis area is world renown for the winter runs of Rainbow & Brown trout up the Tongariro River & other smaller streams. These trout are in top condition & test your skills when trying to land these fish.\nIt is estimated that 50,000 - 70,000 trout run up the Tongariro River every winter. When we have had rain & the river is clear, clients have some magic fly fishing.\nWith your guides knowing the hot spots it is possible to hook up to 10 fish in a morning.\nRainbows will run all year round but the main fishing is May - October.\nBrowns run earlier & take quite a long time to move through the rivers. They start in December with the opportunity to catch them on a dry fly. Once June & July come there will be good numbers up the rivers for the patient angler. These are very allusive Brown trout, which need a bit of local knowledge to help you catch them.\nFrom September onwards the earlier Rainbow & Brown trout that have spawned will start to return to Lake Taupo. These trout will be caught on more natural patterns as they are starting to build up condition that has been lost while spawning.

This can be entertaining & frustrating, as you will see the trout aggressively feeding within two-rod lengths of you. There is also some good night fishing while the trout are smelting.\nWe have two small lakes that fish very well over our summer period, December - March.\nBoth Browns & Rainbows over 10lb are caught every year. The cicada fishing can be excellent after Christmas. Ian has had days where he has landed more than one fish over 10lbs.\nFor the angler that wants a real adventure to the most remote rivers, a helicopter flight is the way to go.

Whether you are a seasoned horticulturalist or just getting your hands dirty for the first time, the desire for a thriving garden is a universal aspiration.\nAt the heart of every lush garden lies a well-tended secret – fertile soil. The soil is not just a silent spectator but a dynamic partner in the gardening journey, supporting the growth of plants, nurturing life, and holding the keys to gardening success. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve deep into the art and science of soil fertility, uncovering the seven effective tips that can transform your garden into a flourishing oasis.\nFrom understanding the intricacies of soil composition and nutrient balance to embracing time-honored practices like crop rotation and cover cropping, we will explore the essential elements that contribute to a vibrant, healthy garden. Through each part of this series, you will gain insights, practical knowledge, and a deeper appreciation for the role that soil plays in nurturing your green spaces.\nSo, prepare to embark on a journey of discovery, one that will empower you to unlock the full potential of your garden. Whether your gardening dreams involve a bountiful vegetable patch, a fragrant flowerbed, or a serene backyard oasis, the principles of soil fertility outlined in this guide will serve as your compass on the path to gardening success. Let’s dig in and unearth the secrets that will transform your green thumb into a thriving garden reality.\nThe Foundation of Fertile Soil\nGardening enthusiasts understand that the key to a thriving garden lies beneath the surface – in the quality of the soil. Whether you’re nurturing a lush flowerbed or cultivating a bountiful vegetable garden, healthy soil is the cornerstone of your gardening success. In this multi-part series, we’ll explore seven effective tips to boost soil fertility and elevate your gardening game.\nConduct a Soil Test\nBefore you dive into any soil improvement project, it’s crucial to know your soil’s current condition. A soil test is like a health checkup for your garden’s foundation. It reveals essential information such as nutrient levels, pH balance, and organic matter content. Armed with this knowledge, you can make informed decisions about how to enhance your soil’s fertility.\nAdd Organic Matter\nHealthy soil is teeming with life, and organic matter is the lifeblood of any fertile garden. This includes compost, well-rotted manure, and decaying plant material. Organic matter improves soil structure, retains moisture, and provides essential nutrients to plants. Discover how to integrate organic matter effectively into your garden to give your plants the nutrition they crave.\nEmbrace Cover Cropping\nCover cropping is a time-tested technique that not only protects your soil from erosion but also contributes to its fertility. These “green manure” crops serve as living mulch, suppressing weeds and enriching the soil as they grow. Learn about the different cover crops suitable for your region and how to incorporate them into your gardening schedule.\nCrop Rotation – The Soil Rejuvenator\nIn our quest for bountiful gardens, we continue to explore the essential strategies for enhancing soil fertility. In Part 1, we covered the significance of soil tests, adding organic matter, and embracing cover cropping. Now, we shift our focus to an age-old technique that can breathe new life into your garden’s soil – crop rotation.\nImplement Crop Rotation\nCrop rotation is a dynamic approach to gardening that involves changing the types of plants you grow in a specific area from season to season or year to year. This deliberate shift in plant species offers several benefits:\n1. Pest and Disease Control: Different crops attract different pests and diseases. By rotating your crops, you can disrupt the life cycles of these nuisances, reducing the need for chemical interventions.\n2. Nutrient Balance: Various plants have varying nutrient needs and contributions. Crop rotation helps maintain a balanced nutrient profile in your soil, preventing nutrient depletion and enhancing overall fertility.\n3. Weed Suppression: Some crops are better at crowding out weeds than others. By alternating crops, you can naturally control weed growth without relying on herbicides.\n4. Improved Soil Structure: Different plant roots penetrate the soil to varying depths and structures. Alternating between deep-rooted and shallow-rooted crops can help break up compacted soil and improve its overall structure.\n5. Disease Suppression: Certain crops, like legumes, have the ability to fix nitrogen from the air and store it in their roots. Planting nitrogen-fixing crops in rotation can boost soil nitrogen levels, benefiting subsequent crops.\nTo implement crop rotation effectively, create a plan that takes into account your local climate, the specific needs of your plants, and the layout of your garden. Typically, you’ll divide your garden into different sections and rotate crops within these sections annually.\nOptimize Nutrient Management – Nourishing Your Garden\nAs we continue our journey toward garden success, we arrive at a pivotal aspect of soil fertility – nutrient management. Part 2 introduced the importance of crop rotation in revitalizing your soil. Now, in Part 3, we explore the art of feeding your garden while maintaining soil health.\nOptimize Nutrient Management\nProper nutrient management is the key to ensuring your plants receive the nourishment they need for robust growth. Here’s how you can achieve nutrient optimization:\n1. Soil Testing, Again: Regular soil testing is a valuable practice. It helps you understand your soil’s nutrient levels, allowing you to tailor your nutrient management plan to your garden’s specific needs.\n2. Balanced Fertilization: Use fertilizers wisely. Ensure they contain the essential macronutrients – nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) – in the right proportions. However, don’t overlook the importance of secondary and micronutrients like calcium, magnesium, sulfur, and various trace elements. These lesser-known nutrients are often critical for healthy plant development.\n3. Organic vs. Synthetic Fertilizers: Consider the pros and cons of organic and synthetic fertilizers. Organic options release nutrients slowly, providing long-term benefits to the soil. Synthetic fertilizers can deliver nutrients quickly but may lead to soil depletion over time.\n4. Compost Magic: Incorporating compost into your garden is a natural way to enrich your soil with nutrients. It enhances the soil’s structure, water-holding capacity, and biological activity while providing a steady release of essential elements.\n5. Seasonal Adjustments: Different plants have varying nutrient requirements at different growth stages. Adjust your fertilization schedule to meet these changing needs.\n6. Mulching Matters: Part 1 discussed mulching as a soil protection technique. It also helps in nutrient management by preventing nutrient leaching and maintaining a stable soil temperature, which is beneficial for nutrient uptake.\n7. Water Wisely: Proper watering practices are essential for nutrient absorption. Overwatering can lead to nutrient runoff, while underwatering can hinder nutrient uptake by plant roots.\nRemember that nutrient management is an ongoing process. Gardening success depends on your ability to adapt and fine-tune your nutrient regimen based on the evolving needs of your plants and soil.\nMaintain Proper pH Levels – Balancing Act for Soil Health\nIn our pursuit of garden excellence, we’ve uncovered the importance of soil testing, crop rotation, and nutrient management. Now, in Part 4 of our series, we delve into an often-overlooked yet vital aspect of soil fertility – maintaining proper pH levels.\nMaintain Proper pH Levels\npH, short for “potential of hydrogen,” measures the acidity or alkalinity of your soil on a scale from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. Understanding and regulating the pH of your soil is crucial for several reasons:\n1. Nutrient Availability: The pH level directly affects the availability of essential nutrients to your plants. Different nutrients are more or less accessible to plant roots depending on the soil’s pH. For instance, acidic soils (low pH) can lock up essential nutrients like calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus, while alkaline soils (high pH) can limit the availability of trace elements.\n2. Microbial Activity: Soil pH influences the activity of beneficial microorganisms that aid in nutrient cycling and decomposition. Maintaining the right pH encourages a healthy microbial community, which benefits your plants.\n3. Plant Preferences: Different plants thrive in specific pH ranges. Understanding your garden’s pH and the preferences of the plants you intend to grow will help you select the right crops for your soil.\n4. pH Adjustment: To correct pH imbalances, you can use amendments like lime to raise pH in acidic soils or sulfur to lower pH in alkaline soils. These adjustments should be made gradually and based on the recommendations from your soil test.\n5. Regular Monitoring: pH is not a static value; it can change over time due to various factors, including weather, watering habits, and the type of plants you grow. Regularly monitor your soil’s pH to ensure it remains within the optimal range for your plants.\n6. Organic Matter’s Role: Incorporating organic matter, as discussed in Part 1, can help buffer pH fluctuations, making it easier to maintain stable pH levels.\nAchieving and maintaining the right pH balance in your soil is essential for unlocking your garden’s full potential. It’s a balancing act that requires attention and diligence, but the rewards in terms of healthier plants and increased yields are well worth the effort.\nIn Part 5, we’ll explore the practice of mulching in more detail. Beyond its soil protection benefits, mulch plays a significant role in regulating soil temperature and moisture, fostering a conducive environment for plant growth. Stay tuned for insights on how to harness the power of mulch in your garden.\nMulching for Soil Protection and Beyond\nIn our ongoing quest for gardening success, we’ve uncovered the importance of soil testing, crop rotation, nutrient management, and maintaining proper pH levels. Now, in Part 5 of our series, we explore the multifaceted benefits of mulching and how it can be a game-changer for your garden.\nMulching for Soil Protection\nMulching is more than just a pretty garden feature; it’s a powerful tool for maintaining soil health and promoting plant growth. Here’s why mulch matters:\n1. Soil Temperature Regulation: Mulch acts as a natural insulator, helping to keep soil temperatures stable. In the scorching heat of summer, it prevents soil from overheating, while in cold winters, it provides some protection against freezing temperatures. This stability is crucial for healthy plant roots.\n2. Moisture Retention: Mulch acts as a barrier that reduces evaporation, keeping the soil consistently moist. This is particularly beneficial during dry spells when regular watering might not be sufficient.\n3. Weed Suppression: A layer of mulch helps smother weeds by blocking sunlight, which is essential for weed seed germination. Fewer weeds mean less competition for nutrients and water.\n4. Erosion Control: Mulch helps prevent soil erosion by reducing the impact of heavy rain and wind. It keeps the topsoil in place, preserving valuable nutrients and preventing runoff.\n5. Improved Soil Structure: Over time, as mulch breaks down, it adds organic matter to the soil. This enhances soil structure, aeration, and drainage.\n6. Pest Management: Some types of mulch, like cedar or pine, can act as a natural pest repellent due to their aromatic properties.\nWhen mulching, consider using organic materials such as wood chips, straw, or compost. These materials decompose slowly, providing long-term benefits to your soil. Apply mulch evenly around your plants, leaving a small gap around the stem to prevent moisture-related issues.\nChoosing the Right Mulch: Different mulch materials have distinct advantages. Wood mulch offers a classic look and decomposes slowly, while straw or hay is excellent for vegetable gardens. Compost as mulch provides both nutrient enrichment and weed suppression.\nMulch Depth: Apply a layer of mulch that is 2 to 4 inches thick for optimal results. Avoid piling mulch directly against the plant stems, as this can create a moist environment that encourages rot.\nAs you incorporate mulching into your gardening routine, you’ll find that it not only protects your soil but also enhances its fertility, creating an ideal environment for your plants to thrive.\nCover Cropping – Nature’s Gift to Your Soil\ns our journey to unlock garden success continues, we arrive at a powerful technique that Mother Nature herself has been using for eons – cover cropping. In Part 6 of our series, we explore the incredible benefits of cover cropping and how it can be a game-changer for your soil.\nEmbrace Cover Cropping\nCover cropping involves planting specific crops not for harvest but to benefit your garden’s soil and overall ecosystem. These “green manure” crops offer a wealth of advantages:\n1. Soil Enrichment: Cover crops, like legumes (e.g., clover and peas), have the unique ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen and convert it into a form that other plants can use. When you incorporate these crops into your garden, they naturally enrich the soil with nitrogen, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers.\n2. Erosion Control: The roots of cover crops help bind soil particles together, reducing erosion caused by wind and water. This is especially important on slopes or in areas with heavy rainfall.\n3. Weed Suppression: By shading the soil and competing with weeds for nutrients and sunlight, cover crops can significantly reduce weed growth.\n4. Pest and Disease Management: Some cover crops, such as marigolds, can act as natural repellents for pests and diseases, reducing the need for chemical interventions.\n5. Biodiversity: Cover cropping enhances biodiversity in your garden by attracting beneficial insects and pollinators, creating a more resilient and balanced ecosystem.\n6. Improved Soil Structure: The root systems of cover crops help break up compacted soil, improve aeration, and enhance water infiltration.\nSelecting Cover Crops: The choice of cover crop depends on your specific goals and the time of year. Legumes are excellent for nitrogen fixation, while grasses like rye or oats are effective for weed suppression and erosion control. Mixtures of cover crops can provide a combination of benefits.\nPlanting and Incorporating Cover Crops: Plant cover crops at the appropriate time for your region and follow recommended seeding rates. Typically, cover crops are grown between your main crops or during the off-season. When it’s time to prepare your garden beds for planting, simply cut down the cover crops and incorporate them into the soil as green manure.\nRotation and Diversity: Like traditional crops, it’s essential to practice crop rotation with cover crops to prevent disease buildup and nutrient depletion.\nEmbracing cover cropping is a sustainable and holistic approach to soil fertility. It harnesses the power of natural processes to improve your garden’s health and productivity while reducing the need for synthetic inputs.\nCultivating a Flourishing Garden – Recap and Additional Tips\nCongratulations on embarking on the journey to unlock garden success by enhancing soil fertility. In this final installment of our series, let’s recap the key takeaways from the previous six parts and offer some additional tips to ensure your gardening endeavors flourish.\nRecap of Key Tips:\n1. Soil Testing: Conduct regular soil tests to understand your soil’s nutrient content, pH, and other vital factors.\n2. Adding Organic Matter: Enrich your soil with organic matter like compost and well-rotted manure to improve its structure and nutrient-holding capacity.\n3. Embrace Cover Cropping: Integrate cover crops into your gardening schedule to enrich the soil with nutrients, suppress weeds, and improve biodiversity.\n4. Implement Crop Rotation: Rotate your crops to manage pests, diseases, and nutrient balance while enhancing soil health.\n5. Optimize Nutrient Management: Provide the right nutrients at the right time to support healthy plant growth, keeping in mind the balance between organic and synthetic fertilizers.\n6. Maintain Proper pH Levels: Regularly monitor and adjust your soil’s pH to ensure optimal nutrient availability to your plants.\n7. Mulching for Soil Protection: Mulch your garden beds to regulate soil temperature, retain moisture, suppress weeds, and improve soil structure.\nAdditional Tips for Garden Success:\n8. Observational Gardening: Pay attention to your garden. Regularly inspect your plants for signs of stress, disease, or nutrient deficiencies. Early intervention can prevent larger issues.\n9. Water Wisely: Implement efficient watering practices, such as drip irrigation or soaker hoses, to deliver water directly to the root zone and reduce water wastage.\n10. Companion Planting: Explore companion planting techniques to harness the benefits of specific plant combinations that deter pests, improve nutrient uptake, or enhance flavor.\n11. Pest Management: Use integrated pest management (IPM) strategies to minimize the use of chemical pesticides. Encourage natural predators and employ organic pest control methods when necessary.\n12. Seasonal Planning: Tailor your gardening efforts to your region’s climate and seasons. Adjust planting schedules and crop choices accordingly.\n13. Soil Protection: Implement erosion control measures like terracing or installing windbreaks to protect your soil from erosion due to weather conditions.\n14. Learn and Adapt: Gardening is a continuous learning process. Stay curious, keep a garden journal, and be open to trying new techniques and plant varieties.\nRemember, each garden is unique, and what works best for one might not be ideal for another.

Speak to one of our experts.\nIf your car is fitted with adaptive cruise control, we can additionally supply you with a billet bracket and fixings to enable the relocation of the ACC radar. Simply select the ACC option in the drop down menu above. No re-coding of the unit should be necessary.\nFollowing on from our very successful intercooler for the RS3 8P chassis, the Forge intercooler for the RS3 8V chassis builds on our reputation for delivering cores that offer real-world increases in power and temperature drops.\nWhilst the 8V chassis shares many components with the older 8P, the space available behind the bumper is a different shape and the crash bar has also changed. This required a whole new intercooler and crash bar setup for this latest chassis*\nThe RS3 8V core is a huge 640x250x100 and of bar and plate design. This gives it a huge 55% more surface area than stock, and an even more impressive 94% more volume. The end tanks are made with integrated pipes in order to retain the stock boost hoses, though you can also replace the hoses with our FMKT024 boost hose set if you so wish. Just like on the 8P chassis, we supply a genuine Audi RS3 crash bar which we modify in house in order to accept the new larger core, then finish both the crash bar and core in our standard black crackle finish powder coat for maximum longevity.\nAs shown in the graph above, for both tests we let the car heatsoak on the dyno until the radiator fans tripped on and off (which gives an inlet temperature of 36 deg C), then do a dyno pull from there. This gives a more consistent result and reflects real-world driving conditions more accurately. You can easily see the Forge intercooler cools much quicker and delivers a much greater drop in temperature compared to OEM.\nOn the standard car we tested on, it made 362bhp completely stock (so largely in line with what Audi quote) with a peak intake temperature of 58 deg C. With just this intercooler fitted and no other modifications, the same car made 386bhp with a peak inlet temperature of 23 deg C, a gain of 24bhp and a drop of 35 deg C. Gains on mapped cars will likely be even more impressive as the stock intercooler core really starts to struggle on stage 1 mapped cars.\nThe kit contains full instructions for installation, which should take around 3.5 hours, and a complete kit which includes everything needed.\nYou may return most new, unopened items within 30 days of delivery for a full refund.

We keep believing that by exercising hard we can tone our muscles, attain flexibility and maintain a healthy lifestyle, but lose hope when we can't get over the weight loss plateau, and wonder why our body has stopped responding to exercise.\nFor those into yoga, this might come as a natural progression as a few sessions of passive Thai yoga bodywork can set you on the right track to regaining your form and fitness. A 2500-year-old tradition of massage that originated in India during the time of the Buddha and later moved to Thailand with the spread of Buddhism, passive Thai yoga involves yoga-like stretches in addition to a whole range of massages and acupressure to enhance the fluidity of the body while ridding it of stress.\nWhat is passive Thai yoga\nUnder the guidance of an expert therapist you are made to stretch and perform various yoga postures on a futon. But the most important aspect of passive Thai yoga is the blend of massage and acupressure to lighten the body, induce oxygen supply and release blockages. And like any Thai massage, this one too is performed over comfortable clothing and makes no use of creams and oils. Elaborating further, Mumbai-based yoga and massage therapist, Samanta Duggal says, \"The therapist uses his hands, knees, legs and feet to move you into a series of stretches that aim at both relaxing and energising the body.\"\nA single session of Thai yoga can ease muscle tension, reduce stress levels, increase agility of the joints, not to mention, pump energy into the body. Says Samanta, \"Thai massage can be used as preventive medication, and is also an alternative therapy for problems such as sciatica, spondylitis, arthritis, migraines, indigestion, and even menstrual dysfunction. Also called Thai yoga massage, it works on unblocking the meridians or energy channels in our body. In yoga, this is achieved through various asanas, whereas in Thai yoga massage, we do it with acupressure, joint manipulation and mild stretches.\"\nSamanta, a practising yoga and massage therapist for a decade now, conducts workshops in Mumbai on passive Thai yoga in which she teaches both novices and enthusiasts the art of massage combined with some yogic asanas. Typically, a two hour session has you partner up with the therapist where you are taught to receive and give out a few valuable Thai massage techniques for relaxation and easing frazzled nerves in the areas of the body like neck, shoulders, back and feet. Before commencing the massage therapy, you are made to warm up with a few rounds of Suryanamaskar to get energy flowing into your body. Says she, \"My classes are open to people at all levels of fitness, whether beginner or expert. The idea is to create somatic awareness of us holding tension in various pockets of our bodies and letting them go.\"\nHow active is passive Thai yoga\nIn a Thai massage procedure, the therapist normally uses his elbows, knees, feet and palms to get the right posture on his recipient. In that sense it is an active form of giving therapy. By the same token, since the movement in the recipient is initiated by the masseur, there is no physical exertion on him, save for the fact that he is allowing himself to be moved passively.\nA therapy, not a workout!\nInforms Samanta, \"If you consider weight loss to be one of the benefits of this form of wellness, you are mistaken. Passive Thai yoga is a wholesome procedure that attempts to balance our bodies and, not to mention, the endocrine system that in turn aides in regulating metabolism. It is one of the by-products of relaxation and massage therapy.\" It's a great idea to incorporate such massage therapy sessions couple of times a month to derive maximum benefit from your existing fitness schedule. It'll help strengthen your body, keep your muscles relaxed, fix day-today health woes, and build immunity.\nFollowing a Sattvic diet that comprises vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, cereals, fresh milk, yoghurt and ghee can do wonders to your metabolism, and form the perfect basis for starting a healthy lifestyle.\nIf you are working out only to shed flab, think again. By incorporating a dash of wholesomeness to your fitness regime you can not only rebuild your body, but regain your lost confidence too.", "domain": "hobby"}

After failing to finish on my first attempt, I decided I needed some cycling help. I found Endure It! Sports and thought their CompuTrainer classes were exactly what I needed to become a better cyclist. At my very first class, I met Coach Sara Fix who dissected my bike, my pedal stroke, and my nutrition. To say I was intimidated by this 25+ Ironman Finisher would be an understatement. Three Ironman finishes later, I credit Sara, Coach Erik Walters and the entire Endure It! Sports family for taking me into the fold and teaching me everything I need to know about being a successful triathlete.\nCoach Sara’s weekly coaching, training plans and infinite advice put me in the best shape and best position to be ready for anything an Ironman race brought my way. Was it tough? Yes, it was but Coach Sara’s preparation gave me the tools to always find a way to work through any issue during a race and be successful. Her encouragement kept me going and propelled me across many finish lines! I couldn’t ask for a better coach, mentor, and friend.\nCoach Erik put me in the perfect bike with the perfect fit so my equipment helped me reach my goals. His knowledge of cycling equipment is second to none! Not only does he always take the time to listen to what you and your bike need but he always comes up with a solution that will help! He also is a fabulous triathlon coach who always supports and encourages!\nThe entire Endure It! Sports family supported me every day of my training. Hearing training and racing advice from other club members was invaluable. Also, having lots of training partners made training and ultimately racing tons of fun! The encouragement from the club is just amazing.\nI couldn’t have reached my goal of finishing an Ironman without Coach Sara, Coach Erik, and the whole crew!\n-Cristi White – 50 yo\nThree Time Ironman Finisher\nEndure It! is not just a great triathlon store offering the best equipment and coaching. It is more than that, with a focus on building a community of athletes striving to push beyond their perceived limits in an amazingly supportive environment.\nI was an early customer of Endure It, and at the time knew little about triathlon. It didn’t take me long to get hooked. Endure It! has since become a core part of where I spend my time and the catalyst for many new friendships.\nSara and Erik are amazingly passionate and knowledgeable, with very genuine and attentive interests in helping customers be better. These are traits shared across Endure It’s coaching staff. Each week, Endure It! offers multiple opportunities for coached swimming, biking and running, an appreciated flexibility given my limited choice time available. Endure It! sponsors awesome training camps, including an annual trip to Solvang, CA. The store gives you access to all of your triathlon equipment, fit and maintenance needs to get you race ready. When you do race with Endure It, you won’t find a more enthusiastic support team. I also appreciate how Endure It! gives back to the community with two notable annual events including Beat the Bird 5K on Thanksgiving Day and a newer 2-person 10K team relay in July.\n5 stars for Endure It!\nEndure It! is the whole package: tough and smart training with a fun supportive group of athletes at all levels!\nEveryone wants each other to succeed and reach their goals. This is no accident. It is the result of Sara and Erik’s hard work, passion and dedication to their athletes. They cultivate a culture of excellence, camaraderie and fun that is rare in the sport.\n– Erin Hardies\nBeen coached by Sara for 2 years and is racing Ironman Wisconsin this year – her first full.\nI bought my first triathlon bike from Endure It!, and was impressed by their excellent service.\nHowever, it wasn’t until I started joining all the activities the club has to offer – indoor bike classes, run club, masters swimming, strength classes – that I truly started enjoying the training and racing.\nSara and Erik have developed a close knit group that is still very welcoming to beginners – a unique combination in this sport.\n– Justin Dygert\nHaving been a long time Endure It! customer and coaching client, I can say that my athletic performance ability has gotten stronger every year, goals of reaching Kona were reached with hard work & diligent race planning by my coach, and the culture at Endure It! is really supportive and it does not matter what level you are, there is encouragement and training for all levels.\nPlanning group trips and group races elevates the fun too!! Not sure what I would do without the great bike mechanics as well. The stress of racing or participating is removed with all of the great peeps at Endure It…\n– Julie Kaczor\nI stopped into the EndureIt shop in Naperville about 3-1/2 years ago, hoping to learn more about upgrading to a nicer Tri specific bike, thinking this would help with the motivation to get back into the sport and better shape along the way. I was met by Erik (who I’ve come to know as an incredible athlete, coach and cheerleader in general) who then proceeded to help me find just the right bike. More importantly though, Erik listened to me and encouraged me to consider checking out some of the indoor CT classes and group runs. I was hesitant at first, as I really was just interested in the bike, but then walked in Sara Fix – who grabbed piece of paper and within 10 minutes had outlined my training plan for the next 6 months. I thought to myself, who is this person? Come to find out, both Sara and Erik are incredibly caring, supportive, talented and two of the most passionate triathletes you will ever meet.\nOver the last 3 plus years, they have coached me and encouraged me in ways that have helped me to go faster and further than I ever could on my own – there is no doubt. The group of athletes that makes up Endure-It really provides a network of support that hold you accountable but also keeps it lighthearted. I have made many great friends along the way and could not imagine being a part of any other tri-group. Thank you Sara and Erik for all you do!\n– Troy Pavelka\n“From my first visit to Endure It! I knew it was something special. I was a fledgling triathlete but accustomed to making my own way in my sports so I was worried that I’d pick up a sort of “specialty store elitist” vibe and would be told I was doing everything\nwrong. It was immediately apparent to me that was not going to be the case. Erik and Sara both were very interested in what my plans and goals were, and while I could tell they had ideas about what I was doing wrong neither of them pushed that on me, instead\nsimply giving me valuable insight to consider drawn from their extensive experience and expecting me to make my own decisions. In that first visit I discerned that they are both intensely passionate about the sport, and they are eager to help anyone who is\nserious, no matter what their goals or where their skills lie.\nIn the ensuing visits, training, races, clinics and the amazing training camps, I quickly learned that Endure It! Is more than a shop, it’s a team. I take a little while to warm up to new people, but once I did I found the team full of welcoming folks and it\nturns out it is even more than a team, it is a circle of friends, perhaps even family. I’m happy to be a part of it, as much as I can\n– J. Anthony Digaetano\nI got into the sport of triathlon in 2009 and for the first couple of years tried to figure this sport by my own means. I struggled with injury, and every event was a painful journey. I thought to myself how could this be fun?!\nThen I met Sara Fix and Erik Walter who invited me to try their classes.. I knew of “Endureit” as elite, in other words always passing me on the course and smiling the whole way! Yet, as I showed up to each class not only did the pain go away, the community of athletes became as close as a family encouraging you to become the best that YOU can be.. I am eternally grateful for the years I have had here. It’s pulled me personally through tough times in my life as I was able to adopt the values of a healthy lifestyle. I am so thankful for Sara and Erik not only for the invitation, but the friendship that is rare. I cherish this..\n– Bill Pendley\nJoining EndureIt was one of the best decisions I have ever made.\nSara, Erik, and the rest of the EndureIt team have brought my abilities in triathlon to levels I didn’t expect. You can truly feel their passion and support during every single workout.\nI started working with Erik after an overtraining injury left me unable to run. He developed a training plan that enabled me to maintain fitness while healed. Once I was cleared to run, he got me back to peak running form in a matter of months culminating in a four-minute marathon PR.\nErik has done an incredible job addressing my weak areas while building on my strengths – all while keeping me injury free while training for my next Ironman 70.3.\nHis positivity and great attitude are infectious.\nI have been a part of Endure It! as a customer, athlete and/or coach since 2008. I have met some of my closest friends here. It is truly inspiring to see such a wide variety of athletes come together to do something they enjoy.\nIt doesn’t matter if you’re learning to ride a bike or a multi-Ironman World Championship qualifier, everyone is welcome and can find a way to take part in daily training all year round.\nThere is no intimidation factor. Come and check it out!\n– Todd Byers Coach 4 x world champion finisher\nDear Sara –\nYou are honestly the best! I don’t know what I would have done with you this past year. You set an unbelievable example for me on what it take to mentally push your body past what you think is possible.\nYou impress me every day with your unshakeable energy and positive attitude that is contagious to everyone. You are truly an inspiration to me and I strive to make you proud.\nI will undoubtedly think of you for strength when I am cold, wet, sandy, and exhausted.\nI owe so much to you. Thank you for being an amazing person.\n– Andrew Pyle, Navy Seal\nI met Sara fix at the end of my first season as a triathlete. I hired her as my coach at end of my second season. Although I was a short distance triathlete, and she is known for coaching anywhere from kona qualifiers to newbies doing couch to Ironman, I had specific goal in my short distance racing. By the end of that year, my goals were met. In the first year, my cycling fitness grew exponentially!\nThe second year, we honed in other aspects such as nutrition. Then started into longer distances. We started a run focused training, as that is my weakest event, and have since only met and exceeded my goals. I have since completed 2 Ironman races, a few marathons, several 70.3.\nMy personal records continue to be beat in training and in racing. Sara and her team has made me a better athlete. I have referred several people to Sara fix for coaching and to endure it for Bike fits and maintenance. No one do I trust more with my training and racing than Sara Fix and the team at Endure it! Sports!\n– Nicole Cartier\nThere truly is a spot for all athletes at Endure It! Athletes are able to train within their personal level and ability, all within a group setting, while receiving feedback and support.\nThe support from Endure It! coaches is never-ending and comes in many forms: email/text/phone/face-to-face discussions, clinics, workshops and camps, as well as cheering at club races and the celebration of accomplishments. The coaches make everyone feel welcome and respected and do an incredible job of providing individual feedback, valuable tips and workouts of the appropriate intensity and help each individual set appropriate goals as one’s fitness level increases.\nWhether you are training in one discipline, are new to triathlons or have already completed an Ironman, Endure It! has a spot for you, and you’ll be happy with the support – and the successes you achieve with this triathlon club!\n– Betsy Bruns", "domain": "hobby"}

It's a shotgun start, so team one starts at the first hole, team two on the second, etc.\nEach player tees off from their starting tee. The team captain selects the best of the tee shots (best ball), and all players take their second shot from this location. The best of the second shot is determined and so on until the ball is holed.\n- Each player is allowed one Mulligan during the tournament.\n- Boys twelve and under may drive from the ladies tee.\n- The septic mounds on the first and fifth hole are in play, but to prevent damage to the mounds, use a free drop on the fairway if your shot should land in these areas.\n- Across Glenburnie road on either side is out of play from the First and Second hole.\n- From the second hole, it's a fair play over Lake George way. If you land inside the drainage ditch from the second hole, it is still inbounds and you're allowed a free drop.\n- If you use a mulligan when shooting for second shot closest to the pin on the first and fifth hole you are disqualified from the cash prize.\n- Shirts and Shoes at all times.\n- Golf Carts can only be driven by persons 14 and up.\n- USGA golf rules and etiquette apply.", "domain": "hobby"}

The display of antique quilts is quite wonderful and well worth the stop. These are photos I took during my visit and are posted here with permission.\n- Blazing Sun circa 1855, by Temperence Ely Snodgrass.\n- Trapunto Detail\nThis next quilt, an 1860 Pine Tree variation, is one that captured my attention. I love small pieces and scrappy quilts.\nBroderie Perse quilt made from English Chintz by a bride who arrived here in 1800, but never quilted this top. It was eventually tied and a border added in 1875.\nMariners Compass, circa 1850\nTrapunto Detail of Mariners Compass Quilt\nThis baby-sized quilt was made from some bow tie blocks that came to me in a scrap bag. Some of the bow ties were made up already by hand sewing and others were still in pieces. Using my sewing machine, I assembled the pieces to make enough blocks for this little quilt. The blocks are not all exactly the same, but they still look alright. I then added the two borders in coordinating colours.\nI quilted it on the long arm using Bottom Line in the Bobbin and a light blue So Fine thread on top. I quilted it in a custom fashion – a block design in each block and separate designs in each border. I did not stabilize the quilt around each block and border before quilting. I can definitely tell by the finished result that stabilization would have produced a better looking quilt. That is a good lesson for me. I will stabilize anything that I custom quilt. Without stabilization – stitch in the ditch around each block and border – it is difficult to keep the quilt true and square.\nEven though this does not meet my personal standards of acceptable quilting, I am sure that someone will love it anyway. This will be a donation quilt to a deserving charity.\nLast week, I went to MQX East in Manchester New Hampshire where I participated in classes, oohed and awwed at the fabulous quilts hung in the show, shopped diligently in the vendor area and thoroughly enjoyed the company of other longarm quilters. All in all, a wonderful experience that left me pumped with ideas for future quilts. I took classes with Angela Walters, Valerie Schlake, Judy Woodworth and Sally Terry.\nAs the teacher angel at Sally Terry’s hands-on class, I also made a sampler of patterns. The photo above is a freehand filler she taught. We worked on stitch regulated Innova machines with Superior’s OMNI thread.\nThis is one of Sally’s designs – a nesting leaf filler.\nThis design I have been calling a lolly pop filler.\nAt the end of the class Sally had us tackle two projects – a fanciful fish and a fancy initial. The class was fun and Sally is a good teacher. I’m already planning on going to the show again next year!\nTwo decades or so ago, I bought a partial bolt of pillow panels from at the garage sale of a woman who owned a country decorating store. After ten years of wondering what I would ever do with them, I opted to make coordinating Ohio Star blocks. The finished blocks sat in a drawer for another five years or more. As part of my ongoing efforts to clean up my UFO cupboards, I assembled the blocks into this top. I debated putting borders on it, but finally decided to leave it as a large throw quilt at 76″ by 76″. Because the squares look similar to neck kerchiefs, I have named it Bandana Stars.\nRecently, I bought a digital quilting design called Barbra’s Feathers from One Song Needle Arts and decided to try it out on this quilt. This quilt is not a treasure and definitely does not deserve custom quilting, but that is what it got! All of the blocks were ditched with MonoPoly. The quilting is done with a tan colored cotton wrapped Poly Core. The bobbin thread is Bottom Line by Superior. The binding was applied to the back and stitched on the front with a tiny applique stitch that is almost invisible. Looks great! Here is a photo of the quilting detail:\nSeveral years ago when I was busy with work related travel, I had little time for piecing tops. I got the bright idea to purchase tops on eBay so I could quilt them as I had time. It sounds good in theory, but the reality is quite different. I purchased a dozen tops, but the quality of the fabric and condition of the tops left a bit to be desired. When I opened the packages, I was somewhat dismayed by my impulsive and imprudent purchases. Chagrined, I stuffed them into a cupboard for several years, but since my retirement, I have forced myself to bring them out of hiding and quilt them.\nThis vintage nine patch quilt is one of those infamous e-Bay flimsies. The vintage cotton top is hand pieced and showed evidence of unprotected storage in an attic where little four footed creatures scurry. Sigh!\nI prepared a backing of a greenish grey shirting and quilted it with a tan thread in a pattern called Pretty Posie, designed by Tammy Finkler, which suited the old fashioned nature of the quilt. The batting is Warm and Natural – 100% cotton.\nOnce quilted, I soak-washed the quilt, using a healthy dose of Fantastic on the stains on the top. After a good rinse, I dried it in the dryer. It came out soft and puckered, like a well-worn old quilt. I then bound the quilt with a slate blue cotton shirting.\nI’m quite pleased with the final result. The stains are mostly gone and it looks like a well loved vintage quilt. My son has asked me not to give it away and I have agreed. This quilt will find a home at our summer cottage where it will be a great snuggle quilt for cool summer evenings on the screened-in porch. Now I am sorry I left this top hidden in a cupboard for so many years!\nThis lap quilt is named for the printed sashing. The fruit print makes me think of Oranges and Lemons, a piano piece I learned when I was a child. I think the fruit might actually be peaches, but my mind only reads oranges and lemons. I made this lap quilt as a challenge to use these printed scraps given to me by a friend. I made disappearing nine patch blocks and then decided I did not like the arrangement. So I then made an extra row of sashed squares to turn the full quilt into sashed blocks. I then added the narrow inner yellow border and the wide green outer border. If I were to do it over, I would choose to make the yellow border narrower, to tone down the power of the yellow.\nI quilted it with a bright yellow poly thread with Bottom Line in the bobbin. The quilting design is called Insignia. I cannot recall the name of the designer.\nThe binding is applied to the front by machine and hand stitched to the back. The binding has been an ongoing hand stitching project for at least a month. Thank heavens, I have guild meetings when I can sit and stitch.\nThe finished quilt will go into my stash ready to be given away when I am inspired by the right occasion.", "domain": "hobby"}

The world’s first official LoL esports interpreter, Maia de Souza was hired by LoL publisher Riot Games — with 180 million players worldwide and 14.5 million Brazilian fans tuning in to CBLoL’s (Brazilian League of Legends Championship) broadcasts in 2022 — to translate live esports events into Brazil’s Libras sign language, becoming the company’s first Libras coordinator and interpreter.\nJessyka Maia de Souza, aka Suuhgetsu, gets ready to \"cast\" a League of Legends live event in Brazil, where she provides sign language interpretation for fans who are deaf or hard of hearing. (Photo courtesy of Maia de Souza)\n“Accessibility in society is still overlooked, and when it comes to games and entertainment, it’s considered a luxury, but we are all entitled to it,” says Maia de Souza, 28, who goes by the gaming name Suuhgetsu.\nHigh-quality closed captioning is common in video games, making it easier for deaf people to game at home, and last year Xbox launched a dedicated channel on the streaming platform Twitch with American Sign Language interpretations. But as the popularity of esports rockets and millions of fans follow live high-profile contests at home, gaming companies are constantly looking for ways to improve fans’ experience and make esports more inclusive to all communities.\nAlthough not deaf herself, Maia de Souza has a deep understanding of the challenges faced by many people who are deaf or hard of hearing. Growing up in Brazil’s northeastern Pernambuco state, she started to learn Libras as a child so that she could communicate better with her uncle’s girlfriend at the time, who was hearing impaired, and from then on, she dove into the studies of deafness and accessibility.\nShe soon became hooked and decided to take it a step further, by studying Libras alongside her bachelor’s degree in law and specializations in criminal law and forensics.\nA keen gamer who has built her own computers, Maia de Souza realized there was a pressing need to make gaming more inclusive, so she began to broadcast the tournaments of players who are deaf and hard and hearing and host accessible live contests. She also began to create Libras content on League of Legends. Riot Games soon came calling.\nSigning in Libras is just a part of her job. To provide the interpretation gamers want and need, Maia de Souza makes sure she learns everything she can about the game and the top casters, as well as popular LoL memes and jokes.\n“Any interpreter can do signing, but it’s about knowing the subject and having experience. Otherwise, it’s like asking an orthopedist to check your eyes — both are doctors, but from different specialities,” she says.\nThrough her eponymous company Suuhgetsu, her mission now is to organize gaming championships for people with disabilities and to train them to work as casters, commentators and presenters. In November, she was recognized by Riot Games and Mastercard Brazil at the CBLoL Awards, an event that honors great athletes and important figures in the esports scene in Brazil, as one of four “Unknown Legends” — LoL community members who are making a positive difference inside and outside the game by encouraging and strengthening diversity and inclusion.\nJessyka Maia de Souza, second from left, was one of four people in the gaming industry honored for their work in making the world more accessible. The others included Vicky Wolf, left, a content producer and caster leading anti-racism efforts; and Pedro Fracassi, second from right, and Ana Maria Jacomini, streamers that promote safe spaces and positive behavior in League of Legends. (Photo credit: Bruno Alvares, Cesar Galeão and Dayane Cruz)\n“They are proving that a champion is not only one with great skill in the game but someone who seeks to amplify values such as empathy, unity and respect,” says Sarah Buchwitz, vice president of marketing and communications at Mastercard Brazil.\nMaia de Souza hopes other companies will follow Riot’s lead and start to make esports more accessible for people with disabilities. “It shows smaller championships — where those who want to become professionals start — that hearing-impaired people are on the scene and that they want to stop being spectators and become players, too.”", "domain": "hobby"}

There’s writing and diagrams on both sides of the card that you refer to in the following.\n“The number you see here is called ‘Fifty-two Factorial.’ It represents mathematically the number of ways the 52 cards in a shuffled deck can be positioned. And it’s an unbelievable number.” You place a deck of cards on the table.\n“Cut off about half of these cards and give them a good shuffle like this.” You take the bottom half and give them a good overhand shuffle. After your helper shuffles their half, you switch packets with them.\n“You can give these a good mix too.” Finally, you reassemble the deck.\n“Believe it or not, these cards are now organized in a manner that has never been known in human history. That’s what fifty-two factorial means: 52 times 51 times 50 … and so on down to 1. That number is 8.63 with 64 zeros after it! That number is greater than the number of stars in the universe! It’s 2 times greater than the droplets of water that fill every ocean on earth, 5 times greater than the grains of sand in every desert on the planet. This is all true, mind-blowing stuff!

At this point, she cannot continue, as there are less than the correct number (7) of cards remaining in her hand.\n“So, we must stop at this point as you cannot deal down any further.” You turn the few remaining cards face up to show all the cards Marilyn could have stopped at.\n“As we now know, we could have wound up with any of the 52 cards in the deck as predicated by fifty-two factorial and the immutable laws of mathematics. But you ended up with this specific card – the seven of hearts. Oh … there is one more interesting fact about 52-Factorial...” With that, you unclip and snap open the info card.

Nothing breaks the solid reddish brown of its cover except the title in thick, serif lettering. Despite the cliché, this book’s outward appearance exemplifies the nature of its contents: elegant, simple, and to-the-point. For instance:\n“Roast potatoes. Peel big, long potatoes, and put them into a sauté pan in which some butter or lard has been heated. Season with salt. Cook in the oven, basting frequently, until golden all over.”\nThough basic, this recipe evokes the profound: that provocative bite of potato, a little crunchy on the edges but with soft, buttery flavor inside. Amid such classics, the Larousse strives for comprehensiveness, even as a single volume. It contains methods for preparing an astonishing number of ingredients far less universal than tubers:\n“Devilled sheep’s (lambs’) tongues. LANGUES DE MOUTON D’AGNEAU, à la diable – Braise the tongues and leave to cool in their stock. Cut them in half and spread each half with mustard seasoned with a touch of cayenne pepper. Baste with butter. Dip in breadcrumbs, pour butter over them and grill slowly.”\nThough lambs’ tongues have never graced my kitchen, if ever they do, I will know this method. And “method” describes it in a way that “recipe” does not. Many entries, like these, contain no measurements and no times or temperatures, only the outline of a concept an experienced cook can use to recreate a particular dish. One’s culinary skills, like muscle, get into better shape the more one uses the book. But the Larousse’s practical content only speaks to the most obvious of the three kinds of pleasure it provides.\nI am this book’s fourth owner, and it is older than I am. My cousin Michael gave it to me thinking that I would use it prolifically, and perhaps sensing that I might have an appreciation for its eccentricities. The book had belonged to Michael’s father Greg, a logging mechanic with exceptional gourmet cooking abilities. While I never met Greg, his legacy continues its markedly fantastic impact through the many members of his extended family I know, and through the stories they tell about Greg around campfires over adult beverages, frothy in nature and otherwise. Greg had originally given the book as a gift to his father-in-law Gordon, who used the book to learn and apply methods of pickling. Greg’s giving to Gordon, an engineer who many describe as irreverent, a somewhat pretentious and highfalutin French book about gastronomy and cuisine seems wonderfully campy. This history, the book’s significance as a family heirloom and the undeserved honor I have in being its present owner, constitutes a second pleasurable level to appreciate.\nFinally, I cannot overstate the Larousse’s bookness. It saddens me when I see vibrant and interesting cookbooks available for Kindle, a format that reduces them to nothing more than ephemeral content on an aggressively marketed portable electronic device. I understand the benefit of a Kindle: being able to have an entire library on a tiny, lightweight object. For traveling with reading material, and for those with limited space for bookshelves, this benefit makes good, practical sense. But if pleasure is important, give me a physical book. Let me look at its cover and feel the pages on my fingers. Let me see it on the shelf as I pass by so that it reminds me of the time in my life when I first read it, and of how I came to have it. If I did not walk past the Larousse every day, I would not pick it up and find passages like this one, which appears next to a black and white drawing of a long-legged wading bird:\n“AGAMI (Trumpeter) – A bird of the wader family of which the Guiana agami is typical. Its flesh has appreciable merit. The agami is used in cookery mainly in South America, boiled in consummé or braised with rice. Its flesh has a pleasant flavour but is rather dry, although less so in the domesticated bird.”\nOr this one, part of the Larousse’s section about Canadian cuisine:\n“The Huron and Iroquoi Indians cooked their beans in the embers, and lived mainly on a porridge made of water and crushed in maize, to which they added fish or meat. However, pork trotter stew is said to be of Indian origin.”\nThat 1977 Larousse is the first reference I consult when I need culinary guidance, even before the ubiquitous internet, and the first book I pull from the shelf when I have 2 free minutes and want to make good use of them. It is, in the best and fullest sense, a book.", "domain": "hobby"}

In 2011 the cemetery celebrated its 250th anniversary – having been founded in 1761 – with a ceremony attended by the then Chief Rabbi, Jonathan Sacks.\nAt about the same time I was fortunate enough to get the support of the United Synagogue Burials Officer, Melvyn Hartog, to begin what became a 5-year photographic project inside the cemetery.\nALL PICTURES COPYRIGHT LOUIS BERK\nMy interest in the cemetery came about when I commenced working as a teacher at Swanlea School, with which it shares its southern boundary. One day early on in my tenure I looked out a window in the science block and could scarcely believe my eyes. I was looking down into an unmistakable Jewish burial ground. At lunch time the next day I scooted around to the gate and it was from the information I gained there that I was able to connect with Melvyn.\nI must admit that when I enquired about doing the project I thought I would be allowed perhaps to visit the cemetery a few times but Melvyn sized me up and down and figured that if I was responsible enough to look after the future of children then I was responsible enough to have a key to the cemetery. This act of trust meant that I was able to let myself into the cemetery whenever I wanted to.\nFrom the start I should explain that my interest in the cemetery is as a landscape photographer. Although there are many interesting headstones and a large number of them do figure in my photography my main interest is capturing what I consider to be a unique ecological environment in the heart of Whitechapel. With the exception of certain ‘cultivated’ areas of Victoria Park there are few natural areas left in Whitechapel.\nThe purpose of my photography has been to capture the seasonal changes in the cemetery with the headstones as the only permanent feature. I initially thought I would spend a year taking photographs at a regular interval (often very early in the morning before school, or later afterwards). But eventually, I was making special trips at the weekend and during school holidays just to make best use of light or capture specific seasonal events. After the first year I realised that the warm winter of 2011/12 meant that I had no pictures of frost or snow. So, I continued to shoot during the next year – and from there I never really stopped until early this year (2016).\nIn most cases I used film to capture the ambience of the environment. I believe this has given many of the photographs a timeless feel which digital photographs sometimes struggle to capture.\nI would like to use the opportunity to publish my work here to ask JEECS members to help me to complete my work on the cemetery. I have secured a contract to publish my photographs of Brady Street and Alderney Road by Amberley, a small UK publishing house. I would very much like readers of JEECS who may have memories about Brady Street to submit to me their recollections so that I can collate them and present them in the book (which can be anonymously or if you want to be credited, by name). I believe this would add a lot to the record of Brady Street.\nPerhaps this is the most important aspect of my work. In the five or so years I have been associated with the cemetery even I have noticed the effect of the passage of time on its fabric. In the last winter a tree collapsed and managed to destroy two headstones where it fell. My photograph is now the only surviving evidence and memory of those two headstones.\nIt would be a wonderful gift for future generations if we could leave some visual and written memories of this very special place.\nBoth these headstones were destroyed by a fallen tree in the winter of 2015\nIf you visit my website, www.louisberk.com and send me your recollections I would be very grateful. If you do not use the internet then if you can send them in writing to JEECS they will pass them on to me. I look forward to hearing from members of JEECS and their families.\nFog in Whitechapel\nWater of life\nSummer carpet of wildflowers\nALL PICTURES COPYRIGHT LOUIS BERK", "domain": "hobby"}

The process of setting up your Raspberry Pi with Windows IoT core is simple. There’s a great Getting Started article on the Windows IoT site, so start there if you need to install Windows on your device. The whole process takes less than an hour and requires very little heavy lifting, so if you’re new to IoT, don’t worry the setup process is very basic via a simple wizard.\n- Visual Studio 2015 Community.\n- The Azure SDK 2.8.2 for .NET, which contains some great new improvements for Web, Mobile, and REST API developers\n- An active Azure subscription. If you don’t have an Azure account, create a free Azure trial accountin just a few minutes.\nIn addition to these items, you’ll also need a network cable or wifi connection to connect your Raspberry Pi to the network. Once it’s connected you’ll be able to deploy code from Visual Studio to the device, debug your code while it’s running live on the device. Ideally, you’ll be able to connect a mouse and keyboard to your Raspberry Pi. I used a wireless mouse/keyboard combination from my desktop computer, but many options exist for enabling human interface devices to your Raspberry Pi.\nCreate an IoT hub\n- Sign in to the Azure portal.\n- Select Create a resource> Internet of Things > IoT Hub.\n3. In the IoT hub pane, enter the following information for your IoT hub:\n- Name: Create a name for your IoT hub. If the name you enter is valid, a green check mark appears.\nImportant: The IoT hub will be publicly discoverable as a DNS endpoint, so make sure to avoid any sensitive information while naming it.\n- Pricing and scale tier: For this tutorial, select the F1 – Free For more information, see the Pricing and scale tier.\n- Resource group: Create a resource group to host the IoT hub or use an existing one. For more information, see Use resource groups to manage your Azure resources\n- Location: Select the closest location to you.\n- Pin to dashboard: Check this option for easy access to your IoT hub from the dashboard.\n4. Click Create. Your IoT hub might take a few minutes to create. You can monitor the progress in the Notifications\nNow that you have created an IoT hub, locate the important information that you use to connect devices and applications to your IoT hub.\n- After your IoT hub is created, click it on the dashboard. Make a note of the Hostname, and then click Shared access policies.\n2. In the Shared access policies pane, click the iothubowner policy, and then copy and make a note of the Connection string of your IoT hub. For more information, see Control access to IoT Hub.\nNote: You will not need this iothubowner connection string for this set-up tutorial. However, you may need it for some of the tutorials on different IoT scenarios after you complete this set-up.\nRegister a device in the IoT hub for your device\n- In the Azure portal, open your IoT hub.\n- Click IoT Devices.\n- In the IoT Devices pane, click Addto add a device to your IoT hub. Then do the following:\nDevice ID: Enter the ID of the new device. Device IDs are case sensitive.\nAuthentication Type: Select Symmetric Key.\nAuto Generate Keys: Select this check box.\nConnect device to IoT Hub: Click Enable.\nThe device ID may be visible in the logs collected for customer support and troubleshooting, so make sure to avoid any sensitive information while naming it.\n4. Click Save.\n5. After the device is created, open the device in the IoT Devices\n6. Make a note of the primary key of the connection string.\nSet up Raspberry Pi\nDownload and install windows 10 IoT core operating system image on to micro SD card up to 8 GB minimum. Remove the micro SD card from your computer when installation is complete. Insert the micro SD card into the Pi and power it up. Pease have a look on SD card requirements for installing windows 10 Iot core.\nConnect the sensor to Pi\nFor this blog post I’m using DHT22 Sensor connected to the Pi. DHT22 sensor used in this model allows you to monitor the temperature and humidity. This DHT22 temperature sensor holds three pins Data, Power in (VCC) and Ground (GND).\nFollow the below steps for connecting DHT22 with Raspberry Pi 3 and deploying a sample application on Pi that will take temperature and humidity from environment and will send it to Azure IoT hub event/messages endpoint.\nConnecting DHT22 sensor towards Pi:\n- Connect the data pin towards GPIO 4 at Pi kit using Jumper wires\n- Connect the Power pin towards Power (3.3v PWR) at Pi kit using Jumper wires\n- Connect the ground pin at DHT22 towards Ground (GND) at Pi kit using Jumper wires\nRefer the following image for connectivity:\nConnecting Pi with Monitor:\nConnect your Pi kit with monitor and start your device. Make sure that the Pi kit is connected towards Internet.\nBuild with Visual Studio 2015\nDownload the solution file from this URL – http://bit.ly/1rtQR55\nOpen the solution file attached with this article under Visual Studio 2015 and make the following changes:\n1. In MainPage.xaml.cs file, first replace DHT11 interface with DHT22 interface and replace Azure IoT hub parameters with yours as shown below:\n2. Change the target version towards the version of OS installed at Pi.\n3. Change the Deployment platform for Remote Machine and ARM processor. Give the IP address of Pi towards Visual Studio and deploy now.\nFind the temperature and humidity at the display connected towards Raspberry Pi and the same data is send to Azure IoT hub that we had created earlier in the step Create IoT Hub.\nYou’ve run a sample application to collect sensor data and send it to your IoT hub. To see the messages that your Raspberry Pi has sent to your IoT hub, or to send messages to your Raspberry Pi in a command-line interface, see the Manage cloud device messaging with iothub-explorer tutorial.\nThis is how we can integrate Raspberry Pi with Microsoft Azure cloud. This blog is just a basic but possibilities are numerous where there could be multiple sensors or even multiple Raspberry Pi connected to Azure IoT hub and infrastructure could be built as per your requirements.\nHope you enjoy the blog as IoT skills really matter for a computer scientist and nearly every industry would be infected by it in the future because human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction is minimizing in most industries. We will get back to you with another informative blog soon.", "domain": "hobby"}

All three of their boys play piano and at least two other stringed instruments, which my wife and I revel in as grandparents. Recently they visited acclaimed guitar maker, Wayne Henderson, and I interviewed Mindy about their visit.\nBrian: How did you hear about Wayne?\nMindy: His name is well known in the area. We saw him sing locally at a Doc Watson memorial. He was playing with the Kruger Brothers, and one of them said, “I love playing with a Wayne Henderson guitar. After that, everything else sounded like junk.” We went later to where Wayne was signing autographs and asked if we could visit his shop. He said, “Sure, just call first and make sure I’m there.”\nBrian: What got you that interested in wanting to visit?\nMindy: The boys (Caleb, Henry, and Wesley) have to do an academic level field trip three times a school year and report on it.\nBrian: Where does Wayne live and when did you visit?\nMindy: He lives in Grassy Creek, Virginia–a tiny, rural spot where he was a mail carrier for years even while being a “luthier,” which is a maker of stringed instruments. His fame got around by word of mouth. That’s always been his way even though he’s made a guitar for Doc Watson and Eric Clapton. Doc Watson loved visiting Wayne to play music. Wayne is a classic, good old boy–not in a big rush.\nBrian: How did Wayne get started making guitars?\nMindy: He told us his dad was a fiddler. Wayne loved whittling. When a neighbor bought a $100 Martin guitar back in the 1950s, “It was the nicest instrument in six counties. People would come to just get a look at it and listen.” That inspired Wayne, and his neighbor let him trace the guitar and study its construction. He was seventeen at the time. He said, “I used bone from a cow that died on our land to make the parts.”\nBrian: Where does he do his work?\nMindy: His shop is next to his house. He told us that in 50 years he’s made over 600 instruments, including mandolins. He said, “I want to make a thousand. That’s how many Stradivarius made.”\nBrian: That’s pretty enterprising.\nMindy: Yes, he will have to stay healthy. His wait list is ten years. We learned from Caleb’s guitar teacher, Trevor, that it’s not so much a wait list though. Wayne looks for those who want an instrument the most and persevere in letting him see their desire persistently in creative ways.\nBrian: He sounds like the old cliché about the squeaky wheel getting the grease.\nMindy: Yes. Of course you can buy a used Wayne Henderson guitar off the Internet, but the prices are exponentially higher than if he makes you one. He doesn’t sell through stores, so you either buy one from him and have the experience or buy off the Internet and pay the huge price tag. Wayne doesn’t charge anything like you would guess, I think because he wants his fellow musicians to be able to afford a quality guitar. We put in an order with Wayne and hope to have a guitar for Caleb by his high school graduation (he’s eleven now).\nBrian: When you went, did you call and then just go drop in?\nMindy: Yes, he sleeps later and does a lot of his work at night because he expects to have people drop in during the day, and he enjoys that. When we got there, he was walking across the yard in jeans and a Red Sox tee shirt (he loves baseball) and had on a ball cap of some kind. He took us to his shop where he keeps several instruments going at different stages.\nMindy: He showed us his shop, and he would tap all around on a guitar under construction. By listening to the acoustics of the wood, he can tell how the sound will be. At first, the guitar is just a box, no neck or strings.\nBrian: Did he talk about his wood selection?\nMindy: Oh yes, he’s been “around the world in search of perfect woods.” Once he traveled to Brazil to get wood from an old stump. He wanted the cured part underground.\nBrian: Is he a one of a kind, or is there a successor to his work?\nMindy: His daughter Jayne, an environmental attorney, has taken up the craft, and so that’s fun to hear. He’s excited about how talented she is and passionate about being a luthier.\nBrian: What did you talk about after seeing the shop?\nMindy: He generously said, “Would you like to see my collection?” We were overwhelmed at this and wanted to see it. It would make a whole, separate article, and I can’t even begin here to describe the variety and sentimental connections he has to the instruments he has collected and preserved, some of them of his own making, like the first guitar he made and later traced down and acquired.\nBrian: You’ve described him as so accessible and easy to connect with.\nMindy: He is. After seeing his collection, we said, “The boys brought their instruments and would like to play a few songs for you.” He really liked that and wouldn’t hear of them going to the car to get their instruments. He said, “I’ve got instruments!” He handed Caleb the original Martin that started his career and then handed a banjo to Henry and a guitar to Wesley. He even played with them, pulling out a stand up base.\nBrian: I bet you got some video of that!\nMindy: Yes, we did! He’s genuinely excited to see the next generation of those who love mountain music, and he played three or four songs with them.\nMindy: we were there two hours. It was such a real experience, seeing the pile of fast food wrappers in his shop and his Cheerwine pop machine for his favorite soda. He also complimented Caleb’s “pickin,'” which was fun to hear.\nBrian: So, you’re hoping by Caleb’s high school graduation?

There will be weekly posts about the ups and downs, difficulties, highlights and surprises. This week: Music tastes.\n*not his real name.\nRobert is many things, dad, dog-lover, Director of Takecarebnb, an organisation that matches newcomers to host families. Every day, he convinces Dutch host families to offer temporary places of stays for refugees with a status. Now that his youngest daughter has passed her final exams, it’s time to put his words into action.\nAli is a refugee from Yemen with big dreams. He loves poetry, chess and can solve a Rubik’s cube in less than a minute. He spent time studying and working in India when it became clear he could not return to Yemen. When travelling to Europe as part of a conference, he visited The Netherlands and knew he wanted to stay.\nRobert: I always play music. My daily routine starts with classical music and halfway through the morning I switch to more upbeat genres. My taste is ‘eclectic’ and I move from reggae to eighties rock and from Dutch to Arabic. Arabic? Yes, and that of course is caused by Ali’s stay during this summer. Sometimes he introduces me to artists he likes and sometimes I just look for a playlist on Spotify with Arabic music. For me it’s about the feeling this music brings. Since I don’t understand Arabic I have no idea what a song is about, but I may like the beat, the melody, the voice, the instruments.\nAli: My friends always disagree with my musical taste, so let me confess: I like all types of music, but I especially enjoy lyrics and songs with a distinct rhythm, melody, and harmony. I’m talking about the singers that no one knows about but they sing with their heart and whatever they like.\nMusic, I believe, is my escape these days. I can fly back home with my imagination, I smile and laugh uncontrollably, and yes, I cry sometimes too. I listen to music when I’m happy and I pause at the lyrics when I’m sad. And I believe all of the songs were written specifically for me, to the point where I convinced myself that I was in love with an imaginary girlfriend.\nAli (cont): I like Arabic, Hindi, English, and Spanish songs, and I’ve recently started listening to Snelle and Jaap Reesema (Dutch songs).\nRobert: Playing Arabic music recently had an unexpected effect. I was waiting for Ali to join me for an evening tea and wanted to create a nice, ‘gezellige’ atmosphere. On Spotify I searched with keywords ‘Arabic’ and ‘evening’. The algorithm came up with ‘Late night Arabic coffee’ which sounded like the right list. I started the music and poured another cup of tea. Then Ali joined me. We talked about our weekend, my trip to the beach and his visit to the friend who had recently become a father. And then there were tears in his eyes. ‘This music man.’ He explained that the song was about how nothing stays the same and situations will always change over time. How this gave him hope for his country and that maybe one day he would be able to visit his parents and sisters.\nLiving together with someone from another country, who was brought up within another culture comes with many surprises. This experience for me mainly illustrated how much we have in common. We all celebrate new life, be it with ‘beschuit met muisjes’ (untranslatable, I’m sorry) or the roasting of a sheep. And we all get touched by music. But it’s so easy to forget that what is just a nice background sound for one person can go straight into the heart of someone else.\nAli: My father loves classical music, and Robert does as well. Waking up to classical music is my new normal, and it’s something I can expect from Robert, but I never expected him to listen to Sudanese music while cooking, or to listen to Fairuz and Mohammed Abdulrahman while having a drink at night.\nMusic is just like love, a universal language, the emotions it evokes are indescribable, it brings back memories while also creating new ones.", "domain": "hobby"}

It presents very good opportunities for snowshoeing as the trail is well kept. This trail is rated moderate by alltrails.com, which usually means that it is fairly easy with kids that are above 10 years old.\nThat being said, you can definitely carry a hiking carrier for your child.\nYou can get to this trail from Calgary in about 2 hours, around 180km. This trail is right off of 93, about 5 minutes after exiting highway 1. It can get pretty crowded during the summer months and hence we recommend arriving early at this highly frequented trail.\nIt is a start-to-end hike, meaning that you will have to backtrack your way to the start once you reach the end. As per the mile marker, the total length of the hike is about 11 to 12 km right up to the Boom lake. The trail starts off from the parking lot, with a small wooden bridge, to the right of which is the information area for the trail. You can expect a slight gain in the first few kilometers but the trail is well paved and maintained. There is a bigger gain toward the mid-section of the trail but again this is easily manageable.\nMost of the trail goes through the forest and during the rainy days, some spots on the trail can get muddy. Caution must be exercised when hiking with kids on this trail. The rocks at the end of the trail, near the lake, can get slippery and must be walked over carefully. On the flip side, when the sun is out and beaming, you can actually go across the rock slide to a small peninsula and break open your food packets and get some rest.\nBoom lake at the end of the trail is the actual prize for walking the 12km. The wooded trail opens up in the end to this magnificently beautiful, open vista lake which makes the end magical. There may not be a lot of photo-ops along the way, but the lake at the end will quench your thirst no doubt.\nThis is a particularly awesome trail for bird lovers, nature educationists, and parents who want to teach their kids a few things about botany. This trail also allows pets on a leash.\nThere are washroom amenities at the start of the trail, and there is a lodge about 5 minutes from the parking lot. Along the way, you can pick up some snacks and coffee off the highway and pack yourself some nutrition bars for the hike.\nThis trail can get muddy and hence we recommend wearing hiking boots. During the winter, this is a beautiful trail for snowshoeing and cross country skiing and hence you must dress appropriately. Layer up with a jacket and gloves, and some glove warmers (just in case) and you are good to go.\nThis trail offers an amazing opportunity for junior high students to experience the magnificence of the Bow valley. Along with that, there are a lot of hiking related elements like safety, survival, compass reading, foraging, cooking that we explore while on this trail. This helps students connect with nature and also connect their curriculum with the real world. The laws of nature, physics, chemistry etc. can all be included in these hiking packages.\nCompany of adventurers is a Calgary based adventure company founded in 1990. We specialize in offering packages for schools and corporate events. Our current Director of Operations, Bryce Willigar and Program Director, Brett Kolasa are highly dedicated and experienced to bring outdoor adventures to school students and corporate employees in a safe, fun and learning environment.", "domain": "hobby"}

This was supposed to be something I was doing in my spare time, but had become an all-consuming pursuit that occupied my waking hours, even my dreams. One by one, the paintings were gathering, transforming the corner of the basement where I work into hallowed ground of sorts.\nDuring this time, I was doing some promotional work for Rev. Bob Ripley of the Metropolitan United Church in London, Ontario––logo development, graphic design of his church programme and newsletter. Rev. Ripley was quite taken by the portraits of the soldiers, and asked if they might possibly be displayed at his upcoming Sunday Remembrance Day service.\nAnd so, a selection of completed and near-completed paintings were set up in the Grand Room of Metropolitan. This was the first time the paintings had ever been displayed in public, in fact, it was the first time I had ever had a public exhibit of any sort.\nThe response from the congregation that Sunday was overwhelming and it was suggested that the exhibit be held over and opened to the public on the upcoming Remembrance Day. Situated opposite to the cenotaph in Victoria Park, and with the magnificent setting of the Grand Room, the church was an ideal location for an exhibit of the work.\nThat is how on Remembrance Day of 2008, the paintings went on display during the ceremonies at the cenotaph in London. It was a beautiful autumn day, and a large crowd gathered for the service and the parade. During the morning, a steady stream of people filed through the open doors of the church to view the portraits. Again, the response was overwhelming.\nWhat really struck me that morning was meeting members of the Canadian Armed Forces, individuals who had served with and personally knew some of the guys in the paintings. One of the most touching things that day was watching as these men and women silently filed past the row of portraits, paying tribute to a comrade and friend by removing the poppies they wore and placing them along the portraits.\nI was quite overwhelmed by it all. As the day progressed and the crowds began to disperse, a family came through the doors and made their way into the room. I watched as they walked along the row of paintings, stopping at the portrait of Trooper Mark Wilson. And I remember this–watching as a mother reached out and touched the painting of her son, and standing with her outstretched hand on his face, bowed her head and wept.\nAfter that, I don’t remember much of details. In the blur that followed, a lady from the church, God bless her, grabbed my arm and introduced me to the family. I remember talking to Mr. Wilson as his wife stood at the portrait of her son. I remember he offered to buy the painting and explaining that the portraits were a set and not for sale, that possibly they would go on display somewhere, that after, I wasn’t sure where they might eventually end up. I remember talking to Mark’s brothers, and finally speaking with Mrs. Wilson, though I couldn’t say for certain now a word of what was said.\nI suppose in the back of my mind I knew that one day I might meet the family of one of the fellows I was painting. When it happened, I felt so ill-prepared—and still do. What to say, when words seem so inadequate? At such times, there is no script to memorize, no patent lines to rehearse. Helpless and lost for words, we finally allow our hearts to speak and trust the right words will be there.\nAs the Wilsons made their way to the door to leave, I glanced to the portrait of their son on the wall and knew immediately what to do, the only thing that you or anyone else in my place could have done. I grabbed up the painting from the wall and rushing over to Mrs. Wilson as she was leaving, gave it to her.\nSoon after, the great room began to clear. Someone was talking to me still, something about art and painting, but I’m afraid my thoughts were somewhere else. Then they too were gone. When I finished taking down the exhibit and packing the paintings away, I carefully gathered up the poppies that had been placed at the portraits. Alone then, in the emptiness of the great room of the magnificent old church, I paused to gather my thoughts. And there, shimmering through the bustle and confusion of the day, this brilliant, shining moment.", "domain": "hobby"}

Wall-mounted basketball hoops are attached to a wall or a structure and require a sturdy surface for support.\nThe basketball hoop is an essential part of the game of basketball. It is where the players score points, and it is also where the game-winning shots are made. The basketball hoop has evolved over the years, from the original peach basket used in the early days of the game to the modern metal hoop with a net attached to it.\nIn conclusion, the pronunciation of basketball hoop in English is \"bas-ket-ball hoop.\" It is an essential piece of equipment for playing basketball and has evolved over the years to become the modern metal hoop with a net attached to it.

What do the stats tell us? I used Tableau to help tell that story.\nI definitely found some surprises. To start off with I only included players with at least 50 rushing attempts to remove WR's, but I also removed QB's from the equation. I wanted strictly running backs with 50+ rushing attempts. You can thumb through the various charts below to understand what franchises gave the most touches to their RB's. Touches are defined as rushing and receiving in this example.\nYou saw a bunch of playoff teams leading the way in running back touches. This, I am guessing, would be from leading in the game and running out the clock. The number of total yards had strong correlation with total touches, but two teams stuck out to me a bit down the line. Carolina and Cleveland turned in high yardage relative to their total touches.\nOf the top three touch teams (New England, Dallas and San Francisco) they take very different approaches. San Francisco seemed to rely on a distribute across a few backs, which isn't particularly optimal for drafting in fantasy while New England ran a 2-for-1 style with Sony Michel leading the way in their stable. However, Dallas leaned heavily on Zeke Elliott way more than any of the other leaders. With our outliers of Carolina and Cleveland the Panthers unsurprisingly leaned heavily on Christian McCaffrey and Cleveland with Nick Chubbs making their model more similar to Dallas.\nAnother weird item I saw was Tennessee's high dependency on running over passing. Even though they're 15th in RB touches they are in 6th place for rushing attempts. This shows their workhorse of Derrick Henry isn't much of a factor in the passing game, nor is his backup Dion Lewis.\nI won't go much deeper into the data, but have fun sorting through it to find gems.\nAbout the Author\nAndy Rupert is a Penn State (B.A. John Curley Center for Sports Journalism 08') and a Southern Miss (M.S.

This one is healthy, easy, and requires zero cooking! Now I can deal with that.\nIf you’re new to this blog, I live in BEAUtiful Invermere On The Lake, British Columbia. Summer is by far my favorite season. As an outdoor sports enthusiast, I get to play everyday, choosing between trail running, wake surfing, rock climbing, cross-country or downhill mountain biking, golfing, stand-up paddleboarding, swimming, river-floating, or just plain lounging.\nWithout sounding too sassy, I must admit that my life is most people’s vacation. Invermere is a tourist destination and city dwellers flock to my town all summer long. Having left the Montreal scene almost ten years ago for a population of about 3000, I must say I have zero regrets.\nOur summer holidays are usually spent back in Montreal or exploring another region of British Columbia, but this year, we have opted for a staycation. My days will most likely look a lot like this… Wake Up. Work Out. Make Breakfast. Play Outside. Make Lunch. Lounge By Lake. Make Dinner. Hang Out. Go To Bed. Repeat.\nIt’s day one and I’ve already relaxed right into vacation mode. I don’t have a schedule. I don’t have any plans. I am loving life. I just woke up from a nap on my outdoor couch and decided to quickly share this easy fresh fig recipe with honey, feta, and pepper.\nAlthough I eat primarily dairy and grain free, I like to dabble with dairy on special occasions. I hosted a brown bag wine tasting about three weeks ago. You pick a couple of varieties of wine and buy two or three different bottles ranging in price. I gave everyone a sample of each wine and let them choose their favorite, while they enjoyed a variety of healthy appetizers all made from scratch.\nI found fresh figs at our local grocery store and immediately thought of pairing them with the salty taste of feta cheese and a cooled Pinot Noir. The sweet and salty pairing is amazing and my guests all agreed it was one of their favorite appetizers of the evening.\nIf you can’t find fresh figs, this feta and honey spread also happens to pair wonderfully with strawberries and nectarines. You will likely have leftovers, which you can use to stuff chicken breasts or as a base on homemade thin crust pizza (I use ivory teff gluten free tortillas).\nFresh Figs with Feta, Honey, and Pepper\nIngredients (Makes 12 Figs)\n- 1 large tub of feta cheese\n- 1/4 to 1/3 cup of local honey to taste\n- 20-30 grinds of fresh pepper\n- 12 fresh figs (can’t find fresh figs… use fresh strawberries or nectarines)\n- a handful of almond slices to garnish (optional)\n- Combine the feta, honey, and pepper in a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.\n- Cut each fig into 4 pieces without cutting all the way through. Don’t stress if you one piece fall off, as the cheese will help you stick it all back together.\n- Stuff each fig without about 2 tbsp of feta and honey spread.\n- Place figs on serving platter for larger gatherings or individual plates for a dinner party.\nGive it a try and let me know what you think!\nNext week, I’ll be posting another delicious fig recipe with roasted eggplant, blue cheese, and walnuts… Don’t miss out.

Up until 3 months ago I didn’t even know what Bullet Journaling was, and then BOOM! This beautiful, creative method of organizing my days and ideas landed in my lap. I was lost in a sea of beautiful and inspiring images on Instagram, Pinterest and and Facebook groups I joined that are just for Bullet Journaling.\nWhat is Bullet Journaling?\nAccording to the Bullet Journal official website it’s “the Analog System for the digital age”. Ryder Carroll created it as a system for himself to be a to-do list, diary, notebook and sketchbook. He designed it as a simple flexible framework that would allow you to customize for your needs. The basic elements include:\n- The Index\n- Future Log\n- Monthly Log\n- Daily Log\n- Bullets: Symbols used to signify Tasks, Appointments, Events, Notes and Ideas.\n- Lists: Anything and Everything you can think of.\nThe premise is that you can use any notebook you’d like and not be limited to the structure of a traditional planner.\nHere’s how to BuJo (that’s the nickname for it) straight from Ryder.\nAfter doing a little research I went out and bought some supplies to get started. True BuJo aficionados use the Leuchtturm1917 notebook. But…since I wasn’t sure how this would work for me my stationary perfectionism stopped me from buying a beautiful new notebook and possibly ruining it. I went to Office Depot and picked up a similar graphed notebook, colored Flair Pens (my fav), washi tape and a tiny ruler.\nNext I started thinking about the pages I wanted to create and put post it notes on them to label. Again my perfectionism holding me back. I couldn’t commit to pages and start using them until I had planned out all the pages I wanted. What if I decided I didn’t want that list? Then the page would be ruined. Ugh! Plus, I’m not an artist. I can doodle but I can’t draw so I was a bit intimidated by the spreads (that’s a Bullet Journal term for a page layout – I told you it was an obsession) other people were creating.\nI started simple with a weekly spread, a Habit Tracker and a few lists. I decided I didn’t need to create a Monthly Log because my calendars are in Google Calendar (work and family) and synced across everything. From there I dove in and started using it as my to-do list. When I had a thought about a book I wanted to read or thought of blog post ideas I would start a list and write them down. I also was checking off my habits as the days went. Sounds ideal right?\nWhy It Didn’t Work For Me\nYou may be thinking this sounds like the perfect solution, it captures everything in one place. Except…it didn’t work for me. I get my best ideas when I’m driving in the car, taking a shower, sitting at Jacob’s soccer games etc. Is my BuJo with me and available during those times? No, or at least not safely. But, my phone is nearby at all times and I can quickly grab it, open the notes app and dictate my ideas. This also helps for me because I’m a super slow hand writer and it takes me forever to get ideas down (perfectionism again). I can thumb type or dictate to like a pro though.\nAs for my daily to-do list. Between my 9-5 job, the blog, and home I already had systems to track my to-do’s that I’ve been using for years, and it works. Trying to make the shift to a new method proved less productive and confusing than continuing to use what I have. There’s a reason for the saying If It Ain’t Broke Don’t Fix It. Since I use Evernote for almost EVERYTHING the notes sections didn’t work for me either.\nFinal Take Aways\nAll in all, I think the modules that Ryder created for the BuJo are critical elements in any systems you use. We all need a calendar for daily and future planning, a way to capture ideas and a way to organize those ideas for the future. However I found myself not using the Bullet Journal and instead coming back to it at the end of the day and filling in the gaps. Not productive. Here’s proof positive of the analog Habit Tracker not getting used.\nThe “collections” or lists were the biggest positive takeaway for me. I’ve always kept lists but they were boring like Books To Read. The Bullet Journal community introduced me to ideas like A Book For Every Year I’ve Been Alive, A Movie For Every Year I’ve Been Alive or Things That Make Me Happy. I love these ideas because they expand our thinking. I’m working to implement them into my Evernote system as we speak.\nAs I’ve always said, you have to find a system that works for you and then stick with it. If you’re an analog person or a digital person looking for a new analog system, the Bullet Journal could be your solution. No more chasing random slips of paper or lost ideas. But be sure to let go of perfectionism, keep it simple when starting out and make it yours. Because hey, that’s the original philosophy behind the Bullet Journal.\nHave you tried Bullet Journaling? I’d love to hear how it’s working for you and any tips/ideas you may have.", "domain": "hobby"}

Incredible work indeed! For starters, the colours are staggeringly beautiful and vivid, while still remaining toned down enough so as to not be overbearing to the viewer. Though typically a fully saturated, one-colour (or, very few coloured) image can often be bland at worst and blinding at best, the skillful use of contrast differences, fading, and different amounts of exposure lead the work to blend well, each of the shades of the one colour 'working well with others', so to speak. That said, the subject is simplistic yet striking, and the rule of thirds is well upheld, especially with the slight offset of the subject to the right. Finally, as always, very skillful perspective work; the dock, narrowing in the distance, leads the eye directly to the sunset, while the rigid angles contrast very well with the smooth, noiseless surface of the water below.

His studio was no longer filled with cameras, lights and famous faces of the era. It was replaced with woodworking tools for his new venture – furniture restoration. Without a studio space or an assistant, Duffy turned to his son Chris for a venue to shoot David Bowie – the only person who could persuade him to get back behind the lens.\nImages from this session were shot in Chris Duffy’s studio in Little Russell St, London – Which is now home to the Cartoon Museum. After the initial shoot was finished and the makeup was smeared, Duffy suggested that Chris should take some press shots to make use of the remaining session time.\nThis rarely seen shot is a perfect example showing how Chris was influenced by “The Black Trinity” of photographers which included his Father but retains his own unique style for a different take on the Scary Monsters scene. Some of Chris’ images from this session went on to be used by NME and Melody Maker Magazine for press and were later published in Chris Duffy’s book – Five Sessions Duffy/Bowie book in 2014.\nThis fantastic image is available in two options:\nStandard Archival Quality 7.5″x 7.5″ Giclee Print in a 12″x 12″ mount.

While playing some unranked and relatively low ELO ranked games a few weeks prior to Kiev, I started noticing something peculiar: when my opponents had a Shyvana on their team, more often than not, my team would lose. After realizing that she had some potential, I started looking into her abilities and playstyle.\nIf you are unfamiliar with what Shyvana is all about, the best way to put it is that she can be considered “tanky dps.” What does that really mean? Well, in the current League of Legends metagame, it means she’s really %*#@ing good.\nShyvana’s passive revolves around the number of times that she hits her enemies with basic attacks, so attack speed is slightly more effective on her than other champions. It allows her Q to be spammable and her W to last a bit longer, both of which make her an incredibly strong jungler.\nHer ult is also somewhat unique in that it not only buffs her by giving her a percentage base increase in armor and magic resist (obviously, defensive items are good on her), but it almost makes her normal abilities deal more damage to more enemies.\nSpeed and counter jungling are the two biggest draws of jungling Shyvana, but another important thing to realize is that neutral creep buffs (especially blue) are not needed for her to jungle successfully.\nFocus on leveling up Burnout first as it provides a lot of AoE damage that is crucial to killing neutral creeps quickly and for the bonus movement speed. The rule of thumb with this ability is that if it is not on cooldown, you are doing it wrong.\nPut a point into Twin Bite at level two and a point into Flame Breath at level 4, with Burnout at one, three, and five. Once you hit six, your ability leveling sequence should be the following:\n- Dragon’s Descent\n- Twin Bite\n- Flame Breath\nIn terms of items, I start out with Cloth Armor and five healing potions, then start building a Wriggle’s Lantern and Mercury Treads. The next priority is Phage that will eventually be built into Frozen Mallet. Wriggle’s, Treads, and Mallet are what I would consider Shyvana’s core items.\nOnce you have those three items, you can start looking into what your team needs. If it needs damage, Wit’s End and Atma’s Impaler are good choices (don’t forget about Madred’s Bloodrazor if the enemy team is tanky). For armor, look at Sunfire Cape or Thornmail, and for magic resist, go Force of Nature, as the bonus movement speed will help. Situational items include Randuin’s Omen and Rylai’s Crystal Scepter for the added slow. If I need to tell you that Warmog’s Armor is legit, you probably should not play Shyvana.\nObviously, you can only pick three of the items, so base your last two or three items on what your team needs and what you can afford. I’m slightly biased to Atma’s, Force of Nature, and Warmog’s because the added health from Frozen Mallet fits in well with Atma’s and Force of Nature. If the game goes long enough, replace you can replace Wriggle’s with an Omen or even a Guardian Angel.\nThe rune page is pretty simple; the main goal here is to help make the first six levels of your life extremely easy without sacrificing your late game potential. Shyvana’s lack of gap closure is why I choose to run movement speed quintessences but you can swap those out for attack speed or attack damage if you want.\nPlease do not replace the attack speed marks with armor penetration. If you build Shyvana with the items I mentioned above, three-fifths of your damage will come from magic damage; the armor penetration is not necessary.\nAfter going back and forth between masteries, 9/21/0 is probably a little better than 0/21/9 (I cannot justify putting any points into Good Hands, but the movement speed might be worth it). I run with Smite/Exhaust as my summoner spells, but you might want to replace Exhaust with Flash and move the point from Summoner’s Wrath into Brute Force.\nI touched up on this a bit earlier, but it is important to remember that blue buff is not that necessary for you, so the 10% armor penetration goes a bit further than what Runic Affinity would do. Just give the blue buff to your AP critters as much as your time and use the red buff early on (but it should go to your AD carry once the laning phase ends).\nNothing Else to See Here\nDue to Shyvana’s horrible ganking potential, there are probably better early game junglers but her late game and her ability to counter jungle probably outweighs the sacrifices your team has to make early game.\nThis should give you a pretty good start on how to jungle Shyvana, so after you play a couple games, you should let me know how you did. More importantly, if there is something I missed or that I am way off base on, yell at me in the comments below.", "domain": "hobby"}

It’s in their DNA as hunters to want to run after things. Chasing toys is a great way to engage your dog’s natural instincts in a fun, rewarding way. It provides mental stimulation, and physical exercise, and strengthens your bond through play.\nThis guide will explore some of the best dog-chasing toys to use outside, things to consider when choosing a toy, and tips for maximizing chasing playtime.\nWhy Chasing Toys Are Important\nChasing toys satisfies a dog’s primal urge to hunt. They allow your dog to act on their natural instincts in a safe, controlled way. The benefits of chasing toys include:\nDogs get a great workout galloping after toys. It builds their stamina, strengthens muscles, and keeps them in good cardiovascular health.\nHaving to think about where the toy will go next, how to catch it, etc. provides important mental stimulation to keep your dog sharp.\nChasing toys together creates a shared experience of play and fun between you and your pup.\nFor high-energy dogs, the exertion of chase play allows them to work off steam and relax.\nChallenging your dog’s body and mind with chasing toys has many advantages!\nBest Toys for Outside Chasing\nWhen selecting chasing toys for outside play, you want toys that are visible, interesting, and safe in large open spaces. Key factors to consider are visibility, unpredictability, safety, and durability.\nThe toy needs to stand out against grass, dirt, or other outdoor surfaces so your dog can see it while running. Bright fluorescent colors are best for visibility. Toys that light up or flash help grab your dog’s attention. Reflective fabric is another good option.\nUnpredictable movement triggers your dog’s prey drive. erratic bouncing, zigzagging, or whipping actions imitate the ways real prey would flee and excite your dog to chase. Toys that you can throw to give them an irregular bouncy trajectory are ideal.\nLook for larger balls and discs that are too big to be choking hazards. Avoid toys with small removable parts that could come off and be swallowed. Soft fabric or plastic is gentler on your dog’s mouth during retrieval.\nOutdoor toys need to withstand rough play, dirt, mud and moisture. Hard plastic or rubber stands up best to repeated chasing and chomping. Avoid toys stuffed with fluff or squeakers, which dogs can tear open.\nGiven these considerations, here are some top outdoor chasing toys:\nBall launchers are excellent interactive chasing toys for the outdoors. Spring-loaded manual launchers let you throw balls much farther than with your arm alone, giving your dog an intense sprinting workout.\nAutomatic ball launchers can be programmed to launch balls at different distances and heights to keep your dog on its toes. The added excitement of not knowing where the ball will fly makes your dog run full-tilt. Just be sure to use regular balls that are too big to swallow.\nBounce and Squeak Toys\nThese hard rubber balls and discs have an erratic bounce that keeps your dog guessing where they’ll end up next. Squeakers add to the prey’s interest. Brands like the Chuckit! Ultra Ball and West Paw Zogoflex Zisc are durable, bouncy, and visible for endless chasing entertainment. They also float for water play.\nFling toys are made of stretchy rubber loops or ropes that you grasp on each end and then sling through the air. Your dog will joyfully race after the flopping, and dancing movements. Brands like the Nerf Dog Squeakin’ Flingshot or Hurley Dog Bone Fling Fetch Toy have oversized designs for easy pickup and safety.\nA good game of tug not only allows chasing as your dog tries to capture the toy but also lets them indulge their natural shake and tear instincts. Tough tug toys like rough braided ropes or hard rubber rings satisfy both the chase and chew drive. Just be sure to establish rules so your dog knows when to release the toy to you.\nElectronic Moving Toys\nFor the ultimate game of chase, electronic moving toys zip and dash around on their own in unpredictable patterns that drive dogs wild. The PetDroid Boltz Dog Toy darts around on mini wheels. The PipSqueak Zoomzoom Dog Toy looks like a furry mouse scurrying randomly across the floor. These provide interactive chasing brain and body engagement.\nNow that you know about some excellent chasing toy options, let’s go over some tips for playing chase games outside to keep it fun and safe.\nTips for Playing Chase Games\nChasing games satisfies your dog’s instincts but requires some planning to set your dog up for success. Here are some tips:\nUse Long Leads\nAttach a 20-30 foot leash so your dog has room to run but you can still reel them in if needed. This prevents dangerous off-property chasing if your recall skills need work. Start training recall commands like “come” while on the leash until your dog has a solid return.\nPlay in Enclosed Spaces\nFenced yards, tennis courts, or dog parks contain your play area safely away from roads and other hazards. Open parks can work if they’re large and empty enough without major nearby streets.\nConsider Your Dog’s Limitations\nKnow your dog’s physical limits and don’t overdo chase time if they have arthritis, breathing issues, or heart problems. Providing mental stimulation without overexertion is important. Adjust toy distances and speeds accordingly.\nUse Chase Games to Reinforce Training\nHave your dog sit and stay until you release them to chase the thrown toy using their name or a “go get it!” command. This strengthens impulse control. Ask for a trick like spinning or speaking before launching a toy to reinforce skills.\nMake It Random and Fun\nVary your pace, throwing style, direction, and frequency. Fun surprises like double throws in quick succession or rolling ground skips versus high-arcing throws make your dog’s chasing experience more engaging and fulfilling.\nReward with Rest\nAlternate short bursts of high-energy chasing with periods of lower activity like sniffing and gentle praise to avoid overexertion. Your dog will recharge for the next round of fun.\nProper preparation, safety measures, watchful monitoring and peppering in training will ensure vigorous chasing toy play remains a positive experience that mentally and physically fulfills your dog’s needs.\nA stimulating chasing game is a win-win for you and your energetic pup. Chasing satisfies your dog’s hardwired instincts while providing the focused interaction and exercise they crave.\nSelecting the right outdoor chasing toys tailored to your dog’s abilities, playing responsibly, and making chase time a fun bonding experience will lead to a happy, fulfilled canine companion.\nSo grab your favorite flying toy or automatic ball launcher and go have an enriching time chasing your dog today! Their inner hunter will be thrilled to join in a game that stimulates both the body and mind.\nStaying engaged with your dog through activities like chase play strengthens your friendship and keeps them mentally and physically fit. So get out and play, laugh, and bond over a good game of chase!", "domain": "hobby"}

I sewed cupcake shaped placemats with cotton fabrics I found at one of the few remaining Walmarts that carry a fabric department. Tissue paper was used to create whimsical poms that I hung from the ceilings and used as napkin decor. I also made the place cards using lime green cardstock, ribbon and a stamp kit.\nI purchased the cute stick-horses at The Dollar Tree to use as party favors. I also sewed each party guest a Ribbon TuTu to wear home. They ended up being a cute decor for the metal folding chairs we rented from the Langley Air Force Base Outdoor Rec Program.\nI baked a 3 dimensional, large cupcake from a Wilton Giant CupCake Pan. I opted for this cake pan because when I used a 50% JoAnns store coupon it was a better bargain than the Big Top Cupcake Pan I originally intended to purchase. (still love that commercial!) I sewed a skirt for the pedastal cake plate to match the party theme colors. I also baked some regular sized cupcakes to be used as a cupcake decorating party activity.\nAnd it's not a party without a CANDY BUFFET! I call this one THE CANDY CORRAL! Toy horses, cowboy hats and mason jars full of candy and confections were a delight to the young party goers.\nFinally, with a little help from a friend, we put out some quick decorations on the front porch to welcome the party guests.\nThe highlight of the party was a surprise visit from The Teeny Tiny Farm. The wonderful and friendly owner of the Farm, Deb, brought a pony for the children to ride. She also brought a miniature horse and another pony for the children to enjoy. I was excited for another opportunity for Princess Raegan to wear her Halloween Costume and the Princess was in Horsie Heaven!\nWaiting to ride the pony!", "domain": "hobby"}

The cigar is firm but has a fantastic draw. I’m picking up some black pepper before lighting it, leaving my mouth tingling.\nAfter lighting up the first third is dominated by the spice, with a nice heavy smoke that coats your mouth. The spice mellows a bit around the halfway mark, picking up some leather, wood, and black coffee. I’m a bit surprised that I can feel a faint nicotine buzz, rather pleasant, I don’t know the last time a cigar gave me one. The cigar finished up much like the second third, though definitely picking up some sweeter notes.\nDefinitely a stronger, later in the day cigar. I suggest you take your time with it, and not have an empty stomach. I’ll be picking up two or three boxes soon.

Little wonder, at that age and not all that long after full-blown Beatle-mania, that i picked up the guitar. The electric bass soon followed and it became my favorite: deep tones have always had a strong effect on me, and figuring out bass lines from LP records, or inventing my own, was one of my greatest pleasures. For the next few years i played in some twenty different bands.\nMy first double bass was an instrument that my parents had spotted in a shop while they were travelling abroad. They had it delivered by truck. It came in a big wooden bass crate which they sent back because it cost more than the bass inside... The instrument itself was actually quite decent. It sat in the living room corner for a while, until i decided to really give it a go.\nMy first teacher was a cellist who didn't have the faintest idea about how to play the bass, and who unfortunately wasn't aware that the strings on my bass were way too high above the fingerboard. The resulting tendonitis in my left hand fingers left me half-crippled for over two years.\nIn the meantime i went to university, where i studied German language and literature. But after two years i decided to go for a serious music education. My hand was getting better, and i managed to slowly increase my practice time on the bass. After three years of music academy i went to Brussels Conservatory.\nThere were lots of playing opportunities for bass students back then, and i learned as much from \"real\" playing as from the formal lessons. I quickly realized that my background in pop and rock music was a great advantage, and to this day i think that most of the qualities that i need as a musician, i developed by playing the bass guitar in a band setting.\nBefore i finished my diploma i won my first orchestra audition at the Flanders Opera in Ghent. This wasn't much of an achievement: three candidates had applied but i was the only one who actually turned up at the audition. Those were the days...\nTwo years later, at the National Opera audition, the competition was a lot stiffer. Again i was lucky and i got in. More than thirty years later i'm still there. I moved through the stages from Tutti to 2nd Solist in 1987 and to Principal Bass back in 1993.\nIn the meantime i hadn't quit studying, and after my initial \"First Prize\" Diploma in 1983, and the \"Diplôme Supérieur\" in 1987, i went back for the Master's Degree in Modern Bass in 2001, and for the Master's Degree in Historical Bass and Violone in 2006.\nStudying Ancient Music was probably the best decision i ever made in my musical life. The reason why i wanted to do this was simple: all through my career i had heard the typical clichés about baroque music, and i wanted to find out how much of them were true. I needed to make up my own mind about the sense or nonsense of using gut strings, of playing with or without vibrato, about intonation and temperaments, about using a harpsichord instead of a piano. Too many \"modern\" musicians, i found, just kept repeating the same old silly opinions without actually knowing first-hand what they were talking about.\nLike i said, it was the time of my life. I've never looked back. It's wonderful to know different worlds, not only in music. It's great to shake off the black-and-white opinions and clichés. It's enriching to combine an affinity for different ways of expression, and to be able to put things into a different perspective.\nI haven't forgotten the pop and rock side of my musical history either, and i still enjoy playing the guitar, the electric bass, the ukulele. Each and every instrument is beneficial to all the others. Playing the ukulele while i was recently recovering from cancer, and physically unable to play the double bass, has made me a better musician than before.\nAs bass players we are privileged: we can play in any kind of setting or group, in any kind of music. I formed my own ensembles: Ensemble Per Questa Bella Mano and Duo Sweet 17. In both groups i play on gut strings and in Viennese tuning, but sometimes i will use an Eminence electric double bass (with gut strings and frets as well). With the Duo we toured in Japan several times, visiting the Fukushima region in 2013, playing in schools and kindergartens in the devastated regions. Our repertoire ranges from early baroque to contemporary pieces and even videogame music.\nI would urge all my past, present, and future students to keep an open mind and to embrace differences, be it in music or in life: usually we learn more when we stray from the straight path. The proverb that says: \"if you're in a hurry, take a detour\" has got it right.\nSo, with my background, it shouldn't come as a surprise that in my lessons i will often take detours. We will explore different options in phrasing, fingering and bowing, we will use a historical perspective, we will find out what works well and what doesn't (and why it does or doesn't), we will be open-minded enough to change opinions.\nWe will try not to think in clichés or \"schools\". Schools are a remnant from the 19th century. We don't need them. French bow, German bow, Gamba bow: three chances to enrich our lives as musicians. Italian fingerings, German or Scandinavian fingerings: who cares, as long as they work? Gut, synthetic, or steel strings: let's find out what works best in each situation.\nAbove all, we will try and share: within our class, but more importantly we will learn to share our music with the audiences we play for. Music isn't there for us musicians alone. It was created to be heard by an audience, it was written to be shared with the world. So let's share, and make this world a better place.", "domain": "hobby"}

A N.A.I.L G.E.N.I.U.S for sure.\nBoth of the designs she entered were my top 2 faves, so in that respect it was an easy choice. That is not to say that the competition was EASY, as it really wasn't, it seems that this Nailgenius-gal has a way of putting together designs that appeal directly to my personal nail-taste. The feedback following the winner's announcement suggested that I was not alone on this...\nNow that the comp is over and done with and Nailgenius has had a while to get used to her brand new Models Own polishes we decided to get together and show you guys what she can do with them. Here's a chance for you to get to know this talented soul and enjoy some more of her creative designs and inspirations. Including a fab vid that she has put together just for you guys... A.M.A.Z.E.\nHi everyone! I would like to explain a little about myself. I’m 29 years old and live in sunny California with my boyfriend and two adorable kitties. I enjoy art, cats, and of course painting my nails. I became interested in nail art when I stumbled upon it searching the web. I don’t even remember what I was searching for but I came across some pictures of cute designs on nails. And being the artistic person I am I decided to give it a try. I ended up becoming completely obsessed with the nail art aspect. I researched new and innovative ways to paint nails and I just fell in love. I think what I like most about nail art is that there is no right or wrong. If you can get your nails to look the way you like it then that’s all that matters. I can admit that it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s definitely mine!\nMost of my inspiration comes from fashion, blogs, youtube, Pinterest and just searching nail designs in general. If I see a skirt or dress or scarf that has a really cool pattern or look to it, I’ll attempt to incorporate those elements into my nail designs. There is a large community out there of nail art and I just love being a part of it!\nPeople always ask me how do you paint with your non-‐dominant hand? I always try my nail designs using my non-‐dominant hand first. Over time I’ve gotten really good at it. It’s true, practice really does make perfect!\nI’m so happy I won the Model’s Own Nail art competition by The Satirical Stylist! She is amazing. The nail polishes are so amazing! I hope you all enjoy the design I came up with! The competition was tough and I am glad I was part of it!\nNailgenius-Red Hot Leopard Nails with Gold Tips!\nGetting to know Nailgenius - In true Satirical Style I had a couple of pressing questions for this Nail Genius.\nIf you could be a fly on any wall throughout history where would it be?\nIf I could be a fly on any wall throughout history it would be on the wall of Salvador Dali’s art studio while he painted The Persistence of Memory . I would love to see him paint any of his paintings really. I really need to try a nail design using one of his works.\nIf you were an animal what would you be?\nA cat! I love cats! They have so much personality plus who wouldn’t want to sleep and eat all day? Here are my cats Tick and Missy.\nIf you could only wear ONE polish from now until eternity what would you pick?\nI think it would have to be the Jade Snow White, because then at least I could doodle on the little white canvases!\nI hope you enjoyed reading about Nailgenius! If you would like to see more of her videos please go to YouTube. Also join her on Facebook for the latest in gorge nail designs and nail-spiration. Sending big thanks, kisses and best wishes to this kind/fab girl.\nWishing she would hop on a plane and give my nails a once over... Ca sera magnifique, non?", "domain": "hobby"}

However, staying indoors and reducing your activity levels due to the cold weather may have unintended health consequences. Exercise is good for both body and mind regardless of the time of year, but may be particularly beneficial in helping to prevent the winter blues and boost energy levels during the colder months. If you struggle to stay active during the winter, especially after gastric sleeve surgery, check out these six simple tips below!\nTip #1: Layer Up\nWhile getting active outside during winter may not be for everyone, it’s still beneficial to aim for some level of outdoor activity — even if only for the extra fresh air and sunlight! If you do choose to exercise outdoors, it is important to layer up; layering is an effective way to stay dry and warm while exercising. Choose a moisture-wicking base layer and a wind and water-resistant top layer.\nTip #2: Stay Hydrated\nStaying hydrated is important whenever you exercise, but especially once the temperature drops. During the colder months, it can be harder to detect when you are dehydrated. Because of this, it’s vital to drink water throughout your workout, even if you are not feeling thirsty. If exercising outdoors, try filling up a thermos with hot tea to drink rather than cold water.\nTip #3: Try Something New\nExercising outdoors during winter may sound appealing in theory, but actually getting out there is a different story. Winter is a great time to explore some creative and fun new ways to move your body outdoors. Trying a new activity such as skating, cross-country skiing, or snow-shoeing may prove more enjoyable for you than your standard gym session; a fun outdoor activity can really transform a workout into playtime!\nTip #4: Bring it Indoors\nIf exercising outdoors during the colder months does not sound enticing to you, bring your workout indoors! There are plenty of free videos available on YouTube if visiting a gym and/or trainer seem unappealing to you. Alternatively, many gyms and studios offer all sorts of fun exercise classes, some may even be offered virtually! Apps like ClassPass can be used to explore and book a wide variety of health and wellness classes ranging from yoga to barre to cycling to martial arts, allowing you to try out all sorts of fun new physical activities for the first time.\nTip #5: Mall Walking Programs\nDid you know that some malls open early as part of a mall walking program? Mall-walking is one of the best and most assessable tips to stay active during winter after gastric sleeve. Bring a friend and you can even make it a social event!\nTip #6: Take the Stairs\nClimbing stairs is a convenient and effective way to increase your activity levels. During winter, opt to take the stairs whenever possible, and if you have a little downtime either at home or at work, take that short period of time to climb up and down some stairs; even 5 minutes of climbing stairs is an effective workout.\nReady to start your weight loss journey?

Getting the facts right is only half the fun and learning about how to serve, taste or enjoy wine can make your night complete. The following article will focus on some great tips that will help you enjoy your next bottle of wine!\nA good tip if you'd like to get more into wine is to come to your own conclusions. Everyone's a critic these days and wine is no exception. If you're just blindly following a so-called expert's advice, you'd be doing yourself a disservice. Instead, try to figure out what you like on your own.\nIf you want to keep wine for long periods of time, you should consider investing in a wine refrigerator. Even if you have a dry and cool basement you can use, temperature will still vary slightly from one season to the next. The wine you store will keep its flavors if it remains at the exact same temperature.\nIf you buy boxed wine, you can filter this into a nice glass decanter to improve the way that it looks. This is a great trick that you can use if you have to serve friends at a party or dinner. This will allow you to save money while giving off an elegant image.\nWhen you drink a bottle of wine, make sure that you do not throw it out, even if you have a small amount left. Wine can stay good for a long period of time and you never know when you may have a craving for that type of wine in the future.\nIf you want your wine to taste the best, make sure the temperature is right. Red wines are best when served at 60 degrees. You should serve your red wine at 58F degrees and wait until it warms up. Wine is best at 47 degrees. Serving white wine too warm dulls the flavor.\nLeft over wine is wonderful for cooking. When you're down to the bottom of the bottle, do not throw it out. Instead, reseal the bottle and save it for your next meal. You can use the wine to make a sauce for pasta, flavor meat or add to your special stew recipe.\nIf you are venturing into trying new wines, it is better to get an experimental bottle over a whole case. Given the wide variety of wines and styles out there, single educational bottles are a great idea whenever drinking something new for the first time. If you like the taste, move up to a half-case.\nhttps://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/13/dining/wine-review-montepulciano-d-abruzzo.html can be a useful product to have. If you have not been able to get one, or if you do not like them because of the time involved in using them, think about getting an aerator instead. They fulfill similar functions, and they are often easier to use.\nMost people enjoy pairing wine with a fancy dinner. However, it is imperative that you always choose the best tasting bottle of wine that you can afford. People often don't realize that wine can make or break the quality of the dinner. When in doubt, it's best if you don't!\nIf browse this site are out, engage in dialogue with the steward about the types of wine that you like, what you are willing to spend and how adventurous you are on that night. You will be surprised how close they get to the exact wine that you want at that given time.\nPrior to drinking wine, allow it to breathe. Placing your wine in a lovely decanter is a great way to do this. Pour a bit of wine into the container. Have the wine sit in the open air for ten minutes. Then, sample the wine and contrast the flavors to those just out of the bottle. You may be surprised to discover the difference in flavor that occurs over such a short period of aeration.\nAlways smell your wine before you taste it. One reason is that it could be spoiled, which can be easily identified by smelling it, which could save you from getting sick. Additionally, you can also learn a lot about the wine from its aroma, and if you stick with this habit you will begin to identify how over time.\nGo global in your wine selecting process! Previously, fine wines were considered to be exclusive to certain countries. These days, however, nearly every continent is producing a delicious wine. Limiting yourself to only France or Italy will keep you from enjoying amazing new creations from places like Australia and Brazil!\nWhite and red wines should be served at two totally different temperatures. Reds should be served at a temperature that is 10-15 degrees warmer than white wines. One way to chill wine that's white is to put it in the fridge first and after that just let it sit for a couple of minutes. Try to get your reds to 60 degrees Fahrenheit, and get your whites to 45.\nHopefully, you now understand just how much information is involved when it comes to wine. This article is by no means the end of your education, however, when you use the advice given you are well on your way towards becoming a wine connoisseur. Just remember to enjoy yourself while you learn!", "domain": "hobby"}

She explains, “It’s not just my love for music, it’s my passion. I eat, breathe, dream music. That is why it goes beyond liking, and beyond a hobby. Music is my way of living. Music is vital to my life.”\nChillz has so naturally progressed to the studio, where she has shown to have a deft touch as producer with debut single ‘Power’ tearing through clubland earlier this year. Along with remixes or refixes for the latest bangers she enjoys putting her own twist, ensuring Armin Van Buren’s, “Don’t be a prisoner of your own style” is implored in all she does.

Sarcha’s knowledge and her passion to share it is a privilege. Her quietly confident nature is something to learn from in itself and to be in her presence is to know you are in the very best hands. Team this with her humility and sense of humour and your yoga journey will be ignited. The modules are thorough and the schedule considered and accessible. The sutra and Gita teachings were/are my favourite and have taken my understanding of yoga to another level. Thank you for your mentorship Sarcha. I have learnt so much from you and have felt loved and supported the entire time.\n– Stacey Mackintosh\nSarcha has a warmth and humility that makes being in her presence an absolute joy. This coupled by her immense knowledge and dedication to her own yoga practice makes for a teaching experience which not only perfects the body but enriches the soul.\n– Anthony Blackburn\nSarcha has the most wonderfully compassionate and encouraging approach to teaching yoga, making it accessible to all manner of people. She is pragmatic and realistic when it comes to recognising students’ limitations, whether they be due to age, illness or injury, and this is reflected in the diversity of students in her classes and overall mix of students, class types and teachers at Yogahub in general. She recognises the value in practising different forms of yoga and as such has gathered a formidable group of teachers into the Yogahub stable. She is a brilliant practitioner in her own right, with many years training and experience under one of the most highly regarded and experienced Ashtanga teachers in Australia. If the Yogahub philosophy is carried into Sarcha’s teacher training program then it will be unique, well-informed and exciting.\n– Angela Jacques\nThere are plenty of yoga teachers out there but few have Sarcha’s deep knowledge of yoga and her generosity of spirit. I started yoga over 12 years ago but it wasn’t until I started Mysore practice with Sarcha a few years ago that I embraced yoga and truly understood its value in my life and that of others. Sarcha’s teaching is gentle, yet she has the insight to challenge you when you need it. Sarcha has helped me understand how to work with my anatomical restrictions through myofascial release and posture modifications. Sarcha’s lifelong commitment to the eight limbs of yoga is a rare occurrence in today’s world, but I am truly thankful to her for the knowledge and wisdom she has passed on to me as my yoga teacher in the few short years I have known her.\n– Lucy Sands\nI had the privilege of completing my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training under Sarcha’s guidance, over the course of almost a year. The program was very comprehensive, covering much more of Yoga than just the asana, the physical postures. There was no rush, with sessions being spread out to allow absorption and practice of concepts and techniques before moving on. The full spectrum of Yoga would take more than a lifetime to master, however this course gave me a wonderful exposure to the key concepts and a solid basis on which to continue my yoga journey. Thank you, Sarcha.\n– Sarah Henshaw\nThanks Sarcha for your sensitive, intuitive adjustments which come from years in the game as well as who you be, as it were. At this particular time, I can access more space and relax more deeply… that is gold.\nAs a student/client/customer… you listen to and addressed my particular request, beautifully so. So I would say a deeply personalised service, no matter what your experience. If you are looking to learn foundations or beginners, or you are an experienced yogi or you would like to simply dip your toe in, you can. It’s a wonderful place to feel nurtured and challenged, whatever you choose and both can be on the same day. Sarcha and her team of experienced teachers are fully present as they offer a variety of all things yoga at YogaHub. And I mean all things: Yin, Philosophy, Hatha, Sound, Ashtanga, Flow, Nidra, Mysore, Sanskrit, emanating out of Sarcha ‘s Training in classical yoga and wish to invite people to experience deep peace and joy within which is a natural by product of the daily practice of yoga. See and experience for yourself.\nFrom a Golden Yogi who has put 10,000 hours and some into yoga practice, training, teaching and 30 years as a Registered Nurse.\n– Niamh Shaw\nNot only is Yogahub a beautiful, peaceful and supportive place to practice but the sense of community that Sarcha works so tirelessly to create is one of the many things that sets Yogahub apart from any other studio that I have attended. Her skill level and dedication to her practice is inspiring in itself, however it’s Sarcha’s dedication and generosity of time and spirit with her students that is truly extraordinary. Her teaching method is an equal mix of perceptiveness, compassion and firmness and her commitment to technique and individualised guidance and adjustments is clear. Sarcha has encouraged both acceptance of my body’s physical limits while equally challenging me. Under her guidance and teachings I have learnt lessons that can be taken into everyday life and seen significant growth in my physical and spiritual practice as well as my overall mindset and mental health.\n– Sarah Meredith\nLike many of us, I’ve had a fractious relationship with my body for much of my life. I found Sarcha and Yogahub right when I was ready to start accepting what my body can do, rather than being frustrated at what it can not. Sarcha is both gentle and uncompromising in her approach in equal measure, which has given me the confidence and motivation to keep returning to class – and working towards improving my practice. It’s no small exaggeration to say in a few short months my relationship with my body has transformed through my time with the YogaHub, not least that I am no longer a regular at the physiotherapist as many old injuries from a lifetime of competitive sport have started to resolve.\n– Peta Rule\nI started in Sarcha’s Mysore classes as a beginner to yoga. I could not even touch my toes and I remember feeling embarrassed at my inability to perform the basic postures and intimidated by how good everyone else in the class was. However, Sarcha made me feel so comfortable in her class, I soon forgot about what I couldn’t do and focused on what I could do. Sarcha teaches with confidence, patience and dedication. She is able to recognise each individuals level of practice and adjust the postures accordingly. It is obvious Sarcha has a passion for teaching yoga and her knowledge is fantastic. Sarcha inspires me to be better at yoga and I always look forward to practicing in such a supportive environment. Thank you Sarcha, you are simply amazing!\n– Peppita Hawkins\nI spent many years waiting to find a teacher to do a teacher training course. Sarcha did not disappoint. Her depth of knowledge and passion for the practise is extraordinary. Not only has the teacher training taught me a new language that I can hopefully impart to others but it has most definitely deepened my own practice. I have been able to expand my knowledge in ways that only come from a great practitioner and learnt most importantly, to extend empathy and compassion to myself and hopefully anyone whom I might have the privilege to teach. I came away from every session filled with new information to fill my own practice and knowledge to pass on to others. I highly recommend working with Sarcha if you have the opportunity.\n– Sarah Mullin\nThank you for the most amazing year. This year with your teachings, guidance and encouragement I have felt very blessed. Thank you for being such a sturdy mentor. You have taught from the heart and passed on a piece for us to nourish, grow, and share.\n– Tamzin Mulder\nHer level of knowledge is by far the most comprehensive of any yoga teacher I have known in 20 years of doing yoga. Thank you Sarcha, you’re really amazing!\n– Joanne Morup\nFive years into my yoga teaching journey I was looking for a mentor and I feel so lucky to have found Sarcha. Her expert guidance over the last year has been priceless. Her ability to impart knowledge with warmth, encouragement, and not an ounce of ego is what makes Sarcha so special. It’s clear how much thought Sarcha has put into the modules in her curriculum, each one an important foundation for a well rounded yoga practitioner and teacher. With a deeper understanding of Yoga philosophy, history and hands on adjustment training, my teaching has improved markedly while being under Sarcha’s mentorship. During my mentorship I have been lucky enough to sit in on some of Sarcha’s teacher training modules and wish I had been so lucky during my own teacher training to receive that standard of teaching. The guest teachers in the program have also been great, proving how astute Sarcha has been in her selection of instructors. A great mentor leads by example, and for this reason I believe Sarcha is an excellent mentor. One only has to look at the community she has built at Yogahub to see it. Sarcha is not only one of the best in the biz, she also has an enormous heart. Thank you Sarcha!!\n– Fiona Stirling\nSarcha is an extraordinary Mysore yoga teacher, and a very likeable human! She creates an atmosphere of warmth and compassion, but also directs students towards progressing their practice. It is clear Sarcha can distinguish the abilities and challenges of my body as distinct from those around me. And she is also talented at attuning and responding to fluctuations over time within our individual bodies (and minds!) I believe she can see, and feel in her hands on adjustments, subtleties that would be imperceivable to most other yoga teachers. I highly recommend Sarcha and her Yogahub studio to everyone from absolute beginners to those who already have an advanced practice. I am very grateful for your guidance this year and am looking forward to more Mysore practice under your watchful eye in 2020.\n– Emma Carter\nI wanted to say thank you so much for all your support while I have been at Yogahub. I have learnt so much from you and can’t believe how much you and yoga have changed me for the better – I’m sure you hear this from all your students, but it’s true! I’m so gutted and sad to be leaving. The warm, family atmosphere at Yogahub and your personal kindness and knowledge have meant so much to me.\n– Tess Chik\nSarcha was my first Mysore yoga teacher when I started as a beginner yogi three years ago and remains my teacher today. When I first stepped onto the mat, I felt very vulnerable and self conscious. She recognised this and I was able to relax under her non judgemental guidance. Sarcha has a kind, intelligent, gentle yet firm teaching manner. She seems to know what I am capable of and yet gently pushes me as I negotiate my yogic path. She is holistic in her approach to adjust the practice to my capability or injury. Sarcha is an inspirational teacher and I would recommend her teaching to any yogi of any level of experience.\n– Kate Webber\nSarcha is an extraordinary teacher with a wealth of knowledge and experience. She goes above and beyond to support her students, give them the tools they need to express their individuality and excel in their teaching. I am grateful to have the opportunity to learn from her!\n– Irma Pelemis\nWhen I started my Ashtanga yoga beginners’ course with Sarcha and her team in January, shoulder stands and head stands for the first time at the age of 52 were the last thing on my mind. Whilst I have a long way to go, I am wrapped with where I have progressed to so far thanks to Sarcha and Yogahub. I’ve gone from unable to reach my toes with my fingertips to palms on the ground, and so many other improvements.\nThere is something special about the energy in the room at Yogahub, you need to try it to appreciate it, yoga at home is no comparison. It’s like going into a time warp where 90 minutes goes by so quickly as you go about your lengthening and strengthening routine. It’s so rewarding when you feel yourself reach a new milestone in your effort to become better at the practice. Sarcha is always in the room keeping an eye on your performance, her knowledge of yoga is immeasurable. The way I see it, if there was a black belt grading for yoga, I’d say Sarcha would be a 5th Dan black belt and me, a humble yellow belt for now. My progress has been enhanced with Sarcha’s coaching and precise explanation of how to take each posture to the next level.\nPrior to yoga I had issues which brought on pain in my lower back and in the rotator cuffs in my shoulders. Now I feel these issues are almost non-existent and it’s all thanks to Yoga. It’s the best form of exercise I have ever done, and my only regret is I wish I had started it when I was 20… and I’ve gained at least 20 metres in my golf drive! Thanks Sarcha.\n– Dino Nicolo", "domain": "hobby"}

The Rochester Jr. Amerks will offer an enhanced level of competition for local players ages six to 18. The organization will house its operations at the Rochester Ice Center, located at 80 Lyndon Road in Fairport.\n“We’re incredibly excited to partner with Perinton Youth Hockey and launch the new Jr. Amerks program next season,” said Amerks Vice President of Business Operations Rob Minter. “This is a tremendous opportunity not only for us to aid in the efforts of introducing the game of hockey to a wider audience but allows us as an organization to deepen our footprint in the local youth hockey community. We look forward to working together with Perinton Youth Hockey on growing the game under the Amerks brand.”\n“The Amerks have a rich and meaningful history here in Rochester, and we’re proud to join the tradition,” said Robyn MacBride, president of Perinton Youth Hockey. “Our organizations are like-minded, both dedicated to the development of our players while focused on making hockey a fun and memorable experience for everyone whether they’re on the ice or in the stands. Next season is a great new beginning for our organization, and we can’t wait for what’s to come.”\nPYH is the only local youth hockey organization recognized by The Rochester Americans and Rochester Hockey LLC to use the Jr. Americans and Rochester Americans trademarks.\nAbout Perinton Youth Hockey\nFounded in 1989, Perinton Youth Hockey (PYH) is the second-largest youth hockey organization in New York state. A tier I organization, PYH players compete at the highest level of youth hockey. PYH fields teams for all ages at all skill levels, including AAA, AA, and house teams. PYH is committed to growing the sport of hockey while encouraging a safe and fun learning experience for players in order to instill a lifelong love of the sport.\nAbout the Rochester American\nOwned and operated by Pegula Sports and Entertainment, the Rochester Americans are the second-oldest franchise in the American Hockey League with a rich history that dates back over six decades. Currently in their 64th season, the Amerks, as they’re affectionately known, have captured six Calder Cup championships since the team’s inception in 1956 and the organization also has the distinction of serving as the top developmental team for the National Hockey League’s Buffalo Sabres.

To achieve that goal, the ASA set out to establish standards against which to measure a sailor’s level of knowledge and skill, the first such unified standards in the U.S. to apply to sailors in keelboats.\nAfter studying programs offered in other countries, the founders of the ASA selected the Canadian yachting association’s (CYA) “learn to Cruise” program and licensed it for use in the U.S. With this strong heritage behind it, the ASA has continually improved and expanded its educational system by drawing on valuable input from the ASA school network.\nToday, the ASA is an association of sailing schools, charter companies, professional sailing instructors, and sailors, with over 300 affiliated sailing schools located throughout the U.S., as well as in Europe, Japan, Central America, Taiwan, China, and other far eastern countries. These accredited schools offer ASA certification to individuals who meet the requirements for a given level. To date ASA schools have certified nearly half a million sailors!\nThe ASA system has eight primary levels of student certification from Basic Keelboat all the way to Offshore Passagemaking. Whether your goal is to skipper a bareboat charter in the Caribbean or to crew confidently on a short weekend sail, the ASA’s sailing-education system will guide you as you learn the theory behind sailing, practice the skills needed to handle a sailboat, and build the foundation of knowledge that will enable you to navigate a vessel safely and within the law.\nBy establishing national standards for sailing education, the ASA has provided a way for more people to take part in the sport safely, with the proper training and respect for their responsibilities as boaters, ensuring that sailing will be safer, smarter, and more fun for everybody.", "domain": "hobby"}

The famous Rock Creek sapphire mining area located near the town of Philipsburg, MT and has a lot to offer gem enthusiasts.\nThe Rock Creek area is home to the Potentate Mine. For more information about Potentate’s commercial mine CLICK HERE to read the full article from the Gemological Institute of America. Accessible the public for a fee, the Rock Creek area is also home to the famous Gem Mountain Sapphire Mine. The public dig site welcomes people from all over to try their hand at sapphire mining.\nWhen the world is not in a global pandemic, visitors can reserve their spot online in advance. Directions are provided to find this secluded location near Mount Emerine. Following a paved road towards the mine site, I was delighted by the mountain vistas surrounding the mine. The Gem Mountain sign was a welcome site after travelling along the unfamiliar road.\nThe dig site is set up with tables and canopies. The main building has lots of jewellery items for sale. All the tools necessary for the dig are provided. Visitors must dress appropriately. Weather can change quickly in the mountain area, so be prepared. For safety reasons, visitors do not have access to the actual sapphire mine. However, dump truck loads of sapphire bearing gravel are brought to the public dig area. The gravel has also been sifted to remove large rocks making it easier to wash the gravel.\nOnce registered, I picked a bucket of gravel and was shown by staff how to properly wash and sift the gravel. The staff, of course, made the process look easy. I however, have a lot of practicing to do to get the technique just right. Regardless of my skills, or the lack there of, the entire process was a lot of fun.\nAfter dumping some of the sapphire bearing gravel into a tray with a fine mesh bottom, “miners” are brought over to the water trough for washing. While holding the tray in the water, miners must shake the tray back and forth from side to side, rotate 90 degrees, and then repeat. The washing process utilizes sapphire’s higher specific gravity compared to the surrounding rock. If done properly, the sapphires will be concentrated in the centre when the tray is flipped upside down on the sorting table. This makes the sorting process much easier. If done improperly, sapphires will be scattered throughout the tray requiring more sorting time.\nThe most exhilarating step comes when you get to pick through the sapphire rough in your tray. I can truly understand the excitement that brought so many prospectors to this area in the hopes of making it rich. With each gem carefully added to the collection bottle, comes the pride of uncovering one of mother nature’s precious gifts.\nMeeting the other miners revealed many that come back on a regular basis. Proud to show off their jewellery, I was amazed at the elegant designs that had been created using sapphires found at Gem Mountain. The staff were gems also. They were knowledgeable, friendly, and always available to help with washing and sorting.\nAfter sifting through all of the gravel, I was invited inside to have the rough sapphires sorted. The material was sorted by size and the quality. Pieces that had potential for heat treating and faceting were separated out. Most sapphires from the Rock Creek area require heat treating to induce a more vivid colour. The majority of stones found were light greenish blue. Pink stones are found on occasion in the area, but in small sizes. Gem Mountain operates one of the only heating furnaces in the United States. Stones are then sent to their cutting facility in Sri Lanka. Larger stones can be faceted in Montana. Should you choose to have your stones heat treated and faceted, the process takes approximately three to four months. The prices are reasonable and vary based on the number of stones being submitted.\nOn your way back, be sure to stop in the town of Philipsburg. There are several unique business and buildings in the town. Gem Mountain provides an indoor year round sapphire mining experience there. Be sure to check out the loose stones and finished jewellery for sale. You are bound to find inspiration for how to display the sapphires that you just mined.\nTo see the transformation of rough sapphire into a faceted gem, CLICK HERE! Thank you to the staff of Gem Mountain for a wonderful experience. I hope to visit again when regular travel resumes.\nWritten By: Alanna Campbell September 10, 2020\nOpinions and experiences are my own. I am not affiliated with anyone described in this article.

I hope you’ve found me well…\nWelcome to my new blog. I’ve been planning on rebranding for quite some time now, and I’ve finally bit the bullet and went for it. My previous blog, ChewyCheesecake, was cute, but I created it when I was fifteen and feel I’ve outgrown it at this stage. Plus, the name was just a tad dodgy. Not only did I keep getting tagged in people’s Instagram pictures of cheesecake, but any google searches I did to check my visibility only returned baking-related results. Which would be great if I ran a baking blog, but I don’t.\nThe idea of rebranding frightened me for a while, as I felt that everything I had built up for my own brand and business would be destroyed. Yet I knew that if I didn’t I would become stagnant, not progressing anywhere because I didn’t have a blog name that had proper connotations with my niche. It was one awkward conversation in the post office that finally pushed me to make a move in another direction. I had been sent a pair of shoes for collaboration purposes, and they had printed my Instagram handle on the address. I honestly didn’t know how to explain it, and I guess in that moment I realised I really needed to move on from the childish inconsistent hobby to something a bit more serious. Once things leave the internet and join you in real life, they don’t sound cute anymore – just a bit weird!\nSo, that’s what I’ve done. Thankfully, this time around, I’ve learned from my previous mistakes. I’m grateful to feel a little bit more knowledgeable about what’s ahead and what it takes to grow a blog and a following. I’m also much more enthusiastic; I had lost my motivation to write new posts on a blog with such a daft name (I’m starting this site with some honesty here!) and wasn’t updating my Instagram much either. I want to change that. I’ve got my own domain name this time, as well as a personalised logo created by the fantastic Stefan Kezmic, who’s designs you can find here. I feel much more professional!\nI sat and thought about the name a bit more, too, and decided that Ethical Vanity had a nice ring. Ethical because I’m cruelty-free, and I try my best to make the right choices as a consumer regarding both politics and the environment. I felt that Vanity relates to both beauty and fashion, whether you read it to be a dressing table or a negative personality trait. I’m not sure which definition the word had when it popped into my head, but I’m hoping it wasn’t the latter!\nAs well as that, I’m so thankful to have my loyal Instagram followers. You’ve stuck by me in my times of inactivity and inconsistency, and I appreciate it hugely. I feel like Instagram was the only thing I got right last time. I really want to put out better content and much more regular updates for the people who have supported me from the get-go.\nHere’s to new beginnings! As always, your ideas and suggestions are very welcome. I hope you choose to stick around and see what I have in store.", "domain": "hobby"}

It is just as important as the novice musician choosing their first real instrument or the Little Leaguer choosing their own first personal bat. When I watch someone use the wrong knife for their food preparation, I can see why they’ve become frustrated in the kitchen.\nWith these three essential knives on hand, you will be able to chop veggies, cut fruit, slice bread, and complete basic prep like butterflying a chicken breast or pork chop (a future topic).\n- A serrated knife, with its blade that is jagged with serrations, is often called a bread knife because that has become its principal use. It is also useful for cutting hard foods such as hard cheeses, such as Parmesan or aged cheeses or for slicing soft whole tomatoes. A good serrated knife is long and is serrated on both sides of the cutting edge.\n- A paring knife is a short utility knife that will become the second most useful tool to prepare food. You will use it when you are holding the item you need to cut, in your hand, instead of cutting on the cutting board such as carving the core out of a fresh tomato, or carving around the skin of a whole orange.\n- A chef knife or French knife is your versatile, virtually all purpose knife. It is worth investing in a decent chef knife. They can vary widely in price so you decide where to start. This is a time when a well-stocked kitchen store or housewares section of a department store will be useful.\nA chef knife with a blade of 8-9 inches long is a good starting point. It becomes such a versatile knife because the blade is both long and wide. A long blade helps reduce the amount of awkward wrist bending. The wide blade makes it easier to produce straight parallel cuts. A wide blade allows for clearance between the fingers holding the knife and the cutting board because your knuckles don’t knock onto the cutting board.\nIt is important to test drive a chef knife before buying it. You won’t be able to take an onion or a carrot to the store but you will be able to make sure it fits properly into your hand and not feel too heavy. Hold it loosely in your hand, like you are shaking someone’s hand. It should tilt just slightly forward. Your knife needs will evolve as your cooking skills improve and will depend on the routes you take with ingredients. The better your skills become, the more you may find a need for a longer, thinner blade to provide more precision.\nA word about knife sharpening: leave it to the experts, for now. When I have taught cooking classes, students often ask me how often to sharpen knives. It certainly depends on how often the knife is being used. For those of us who have used a knife for eight hours or more a day in a professional kitchen, the answer is every day or several times a day. But when we are preparing food for one, it could be once a month or less or more.\nKeep in mind that you are more likely to injure yourself with a dull knife than a sharp knife because you will be forcing the knife. If can feel the muscles in your forearm tighten, you are putting too much pressure on your knife and time for a sharpening. When you shop at a grocery store that has a full service meat and seafood counter or are fortunate enough to live close to a specialty meat or fish market, they will most often sharpen knives for customers. If they don’t have a sign posted that says they sharpen knives, ask them. They want customers who have good knives at home who will purchase the delicious items in their displays.\nI will refer to these three basic knives often in future posts and will explain technique. Having the right tool for the job is a crucial, confidence building start for enjoyable food preparation.

It also means knowing the lyrics and melodies of the songs, so you can assist singers if they get stuck or need help.\nIn addition to music knowledge, a good KJ also needs to have good organizational and communication skills. This means keeping track of the song list and making sure that everyone gets a turn to sing. It also means being able to handle requests and requests from singers, as well as dealing with any issues or conflicts that may arise.\nAnother important aspect of karaoke hosting is the ability to create a fun and welcoming atmosphere. This means engaging with the audience, cracking jokes, and getting everyone involved. It also means playing a variety of songs to appeal to different tastes and preferences, and being able to read the crowd and play songs that will get them singing and dancing along.\nFinally, a good KJ needs to be comfortable using technology and audio equipment. This means being able to set up and operate the karaoke machine, as well as any other equipment such as microphones and speakers. It also means being able to troubleshoot and solve any technical issues that may arise.\nOverall, being a karaoke host or KJ is a rewarding and challenging job. It requires a combination of musical knowledge, organizational skills, and the ability to create a fun and engaging atmosphere. If you have these skills and are passionate about music, then karaoke hosting may be the perfect job for you.", "domain": "hobby"}

Outside the mind, music is silent; it is a combination of rapid fluctuations in the pressure of the air. When an organist plays the very lowest notes of the instrument, for example, you can feel these fluctuations. Inside the mind, however, music becomes an Expressive language of uncanny power, attaching itself to every facet of our lives-our soothing ministrations to our newborns, our worship, each successive wave of popular culture, our protest movements, graduations, weddings, and military displays. Music is a realm of thought as rich as any we engage in, and it belongs in our children’s lives.\nMany of us are intimidated by music and are concerned about just how to introduce it to our children. It is really quite simple. We can enrich our children’s lives with music in the same way that we give our children anything of significance: by sharing it with them. Ah, but can we? What if we are not musicians? What if we lack perfect pitch, have trouble keeping time, do not read music, and do not know the good stuff from the bad?\nRest assured that these musical “deficiencies” matter not a whit. Children love to move to music. But I have rarely seen very young ones keep good time when they do. That comes with experience. if they sing, they use a bigger bucket than you do for carrying the tune. A good ear also comes with time. Sing, then. Sing the songs you love, in tune or out of tune. Play the records you like, and share the fun of moving to the sound, in time or not. The ability to read music is irrelevant and so is the quality” of the music you choose. Whatever you enjoy will do. The point is to enjoy.\nYour musical competence has nothing to do with this effort. Just as you do not need a doctorate in speaking, playing, loving, or reading, you do not need one in music. The essence of all these activities is shared pleasure, not how fine the performance might be. The point is not to make great music” but simply to share your love of this kind of thinking with your child. An expert’s perfect pitch, highly trained sense of rhythm, knowledge of “the classics”-none of these skills has to do with teaching a child to love music. Sing flat, tap out of time, dance to records with two left feet. Get into music, and you will open that wonderful doorway for your child.\nThe usual questions that parents ask are answered in different ways by different people. Depending on the response, a parent will either dive into the world of music with gusto or delegate the task of musical education to the professionals” and perhaps short-circuit the experience for their children. Those who are at sea about music can take heart in the observations that follow.\nAt what age should a child be introduced to music? That is rather like asking how soon-or how late-it is safe to sing lullabies. Start right off! But exercise one bit of caution: never make music with the idea of preparing your child to demonstrate for others. Your job is simply to include music in your home environment with the same love that you give to other family activities. If music becomes part of your world, it will become part of your child’s world. In my view, you can do nothing finer for your child.\nWhich instrument is best to start on? The basic medium is the voice. Our whole family, for example, used to sing madrigals together around the table after dinner. Perhaps no greater crime can be committed against good music than not to sing it.\nAs for an instrument, that depends on the child’s musical age and temperament. After a concert or music festival, a child may express a particular liking for the sound of one instrument, and he or she may want to learn to play that instrument. The danger arises when parents encourage their children to play an instrument in which they show no interest.\nVery young children seem to enjoy sounds for their own sake, without any desire to create phrases. They may play a single note on a toy piano-or a real one-followed almost immediately with a flurry of what boxers call “combinations.” Given a harmonica or a kazoo, your child may treat you to a single note endlessly repeated. The question is, can you take it? If so, wen and good. It helps to realize that young children play with sound, which is just what Beethoven did on a more sophisticated level.\nWhat does this mean, that your child should become a composer? A conductor or symphonist or virtuoso instrumentalist? Not at all. Those wonderful achievements represent only a tiny fraction of the vast number of things done by people who actively enjoy music. The performers we see on television and in concert often sacrifice a broad involvement in life for the loneliness and discipline required to master their profession, much as someone with a hard drive failure contacts a professional. The rest of us enjoy fun lives and have fun with music. We sing together, play instruments at a less polished level, dance, go to concerts, and improvise. We are the heart of the musical world: the amateurs.\nHow can I identify a good piece of music? Listen to it. Really listen. Hear it through again and again until you know whether it grows or palls on you. if you still like it, or have come to like it, after 10 or 20 hearings over the course of a week, you will have found an experience in sound that really speaks to you. This, then, is a piece of music as good as any you will find-one that you will want to share with your child.\nExamples of music that sustain my interest after repeated listenings are the ragtime of pianist James P. johnson, Bulgarian folksinging, Tarrega’s Recuerdos de la Alhambra,” Javanese gamelan music, the Punjab song “Dholak Gee;’ Berlioz’s Requiem, and the Zulu “Ingane Kamalume,” among many others. Why not create your own list of favorites and extend it with the kind of listening described above.\nPeople often wonder if different pieces of good music share characteristic qualities. This is very hard to determine. Enduring selections are not all fast or all slow; they just grab.\nWhat kinds of music should a child listen to? Attempting to aim for music “at the child’s level of understanding” is a disservice to children. Most school singing books, for instance, are compiled with this goal in mind. Drawing a line between music for children and music for adults results in children getting the worst of it. Exposing your child to music that is confined to a simple level of understanding means that your child will hear nothing that you do not understand and little of what you do understand (as prescribed by what you think your child is capable of understanding). The outcome is dull music that limits a child’s learning.\nChoose, instead, music that interests you. To give you an idea of the variety of music that young people may respond to, here are some selections that my children have enjoyed as much as I have: the “Tuba Mirum” from Verdi’s Requiem, the Beatles’ “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” Janis Joplin’s “Mercedes Benz,” Kofi Ladzekpo’s Ewe Atsiagbekor Dance;’ Loewe’s “The Rain in Spain” from My Fair Lady, Josh White’s “Scandalize My Name;’ Handel’s “Minuet” from The Faithful Shepherd, Bach’s opening chorus of the Christmas Oratorio, the song “Colored Spade” from the rock musical Hair, Scott Joplin’s “Maple Leaf Rag;’ john Farmer’s Fair Phyllis I Saw,” Patsy Cline’s “Tennessee Waltz” and Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes Forever.”\nTastes vary, of course, and your family’s hit parade may be entirely different from ours. What is important is that you surround your child not with the “good music” that others enjoy but rather with the music that you enjoy. The objection that Beethoven or Bach did not write it is no reason not to enjoy it. Matter of fact, whether your opinion comes from the mountaintop or the valley, the chances are very good that the music you enjoy will strike chords in your child. And that is what music is meant to do.\nHow can I make good music available to my children? Sing or hum or play it together. Listen to records and dance. Go to concerts and outdoor festivals. Join with other families and celebrate with song.\nMake a variety of musical experiences available but not required. A child should not be forced to practice an instrument, for example, or pressured to perform for others. Children who are subjected unwillingly to such requirements often abandon the instrument-and sometimes the playing of music altogether-at the earliest opportunity. Even those who continue to play may practice with much guilt and resistance but little enjoyment. It is best to let the child determine the extent of his or her involvement with an instrument.\nAt the same time, it is not a good idea to pursue your own musical interests without regard for your child’s response. Sounds in which children show no interest need not be foisted upon them. For example, when our children were fairly young, my wife and I often took them to symphony concerts at the local college. Several of our children were drawn to the music and looked forward to the performances. However, one of our sons found that sitting in an uncomfortable chair and listening -to long concerts was tiresome. He never wanted to attend, but we took him anyway because we loved the symphony and thought it would be a “good experience” for him. As a result, he developed an aversion to symphony concerts and rarely, if ever, attends them. The lesson for us as parents is simply to follow up on our children’s signals.\nFilling the air with good music can be one of a parent’s greatest contributions. And out of this will grow the child’s love of music. Remember, the heart of music is not discipline or reverence or even accomplishment. The heart of music is joy.", "domain": "hobby"}

They were, with Pioneers, the flagship line, with many other third tier pens from the same factories, of David Kahn's pen manufacturing empire. Ranging from poor overall quality Pioneers and Zeniths (few of which survive intact today) to the very solid and attractive Deluxes, Pennants, and Pacemakers of the 1940s, Wearevers were dime store pens that generally worked well, lasting as long as the quality of their components allowed. The top third of Kahn's quality levels included the Deluxe 100s, made from probably the mid-1930s-the end of the WWII. The Deluxes were usually of multicolored, vertically striped celluloid, with gold-colored trim and black plastic barrel and cap crowns. Their nibs were a wide range, from 14K to plate, to steel nibs with various Kahn model names. Deluxes and Deluxe 100s are found today in a range of survival -- the best are quite clean and easily restored. One needs to watch for corrosion in the metal trim and in the pressure bar.\nAbout This Pen\nThis is a classic 1930s Wearever Zenith. Substantial, larger pen at 5 1/4″ long capped and almost 1/2″ wide just below the cap edge. It is in black celluloid with “abalone” in the black; this is in quotes because one doubts whether real shell was used in a Kahn pen. There is a solid layer of use wear underlying the polished appearance, but no significant marks or scratches. The trim is quite clean, missing tarnish and wear. Curiously, the cap ring has “sterling silver” engraved in very small capital letters, which is doubtful. As with many other Zeniths, there is a green ink view window; it is generally clear. This pen does not have an imprint. The nib is marked “Iridium Tipped USA”. It writes a smooth enough fast fine, a good writer and a nice-looking pen.", "domain": "hobby"}

With the advent of Painting VR, aspiring artists now have a unique opportunity to learn and practice painting in a highly sustainable and health-conscious manner. By harnessing the power of cutting-edge technology, Painting VR eliminates the wastefulness associated with traditional painting methods while ensuring a safe and toxic-free creative experience. In this article, we will explore why Painting VR is the most environmentally and health-friendly way to learn how to paint.\nNo Waste of Paint, Canvas, or Tools\nOne of the significant advantages of Painting VR is the elimination of material waste. Traditional painting often involves the use of canvases, brushes, and paints that contribute to environmental pollution. Canvas production requires raw materials like cotton or linen, and the use of paints generates waste that ends up in landfills or waterways. In contrast, Painting VR replaces physical materials with virtual ones. Artists can paint on virtual canvases without depleting resources or generating unnecessary waste.\nReduced Environmental Footprint\nPainting VR significantly reduces the environmental footprint associated with the art of painting. The production and transportation of physical art supplies consume energy and resources, contributing to carbon emissions. By adopting VR technology, artists can eliminate the need for manufacturing and shipping physical materials, thereby reducing their carbon footprint. This eco-friendly approach aligns with the growing importance of sustainable practices in all aspects of life.\nNo Toxic Fumes\nTraditional painting methods often involve the use of solvents, thinners, and varnishes, which emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These VOCs can have detrimental effects on human health and contribute to air pollution. In contrast, Painting VR eliminates the need for such toxic substances, creating a safe and fume-free environment for artists to explore their creativity. This makes it an ideal choice for individuals with respiratory sensitivities or those concerned about the potential health risks associated with traditional painting methods.\nAccessibility and Convenience\nPainting VR offers unparalleled accessibility and convenience. Artists no longer need dedicated studio spaces, extensive collections of paints and brushes, or expensive art supplies. With just a VR headset, artists can immerse themselves in virtual painting environments from the comfort of their homes. This accessibility allows aspiring artists to engage in painting without financial barriers, making it an inclusive and democratic medium for artistic expression.\nExperimentation and Undoing Mistakes\nPainting VR provides a unique advantage over traditional painting by allowing artists to experiment freely and undo mistakes effortlessly. In the virtual realm, artists can explore various styles, techniques, and color palettes without the fear of wasting expensive physical resources or ruining an artwork irreversibly. This freedom to experiment fosters creativity and empowers artists to push their boundaries, resulting in accelerated learning and growth.\nBy eliminating the waste of paint, canvas, and tools, avoiding toxic fumes, and providing accessibility and convenience, Painting VR ensures a sustainable and health-friendly artistic experience. Embracing this technology allows artists to focus on their creative journey without compromising their commitment to the planet or their personal well-being. As the world becomes more conscious of environmental and health issues, Painting VR stands as a remarkable tool for aspiring artists to learn, grow, and paint in a way that is kind to both themselves and the world around them.\nDo you want to learn more about painting in virtual reality?

This delightful Indian mango smoothie is the perfect embodiment of what we aim to achieve here – simplicity, flavor, and satisfaction.\n- 2 ripe mangoes (Alphonso or Ataulfo mangoes work well)\n- 1 cup plain yogurt (you can use Greek yogurt for a thicker consistency)\n- 1/2 cup milk (adjust to achieve your desired thickness)\n- 2-3 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)\n- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional, for added flavor)\n- A handful of ice cubes (optional)\n- Measuring cups and spoons\n- Chopping board and knife\n1. Prepare the Mango:\n- Start by peeling and removing the flesh from the ripe mangoes. Cut the mango flesh away from the pit. You can also use frozen mango chunks if fresh mangoes are not in season.\n2. Combine Ingredients:\n- In a blender, add the mango chunks, plain yogurt, milk, sugar, and ground cardamom (if using). You can adjust the amount of sugar based on the sweetness of the mangoes and your personal preference. If you like it less sweet, start with a smaller amount and add more if needed.\n3. Blend It:\n- Blend all the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You can also add a handful of ice cubes if you want your Mango Lassi to be colder and more refreshing. Blend for about 1-2 minutes, ensuring there are no mango chunks left.\n4. Taste and Adjust:\n- Taste the Mango Lassi to make sure it’s as sweet as you like. If it’s too thick, you can add more milk to thin it out, and if it’s too sweet, you can add a bit more yogurt to balance the flavors.\n5. Serve Chilled:\n- Pour the Mango Lassi into glasses and garnish with a slice of fresh mango or a pinch of ground cardamom if desired. You can also add a sprig of mint for extra freshness.\n- Serve your homemade Mango Lassi immediately. It’s best when it’s cold and freshly blended. Sip and savor the tropical flavors.\n- Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra creamy and indulgent Mango Lassi.\n- Experiment with different fruits like pineapple, strawberry, or banana for unique flavored lassis.\n- For a healthier version, you can substitute sugar with honey or agave nectar, and use low-fat yogurt or almond milk.\nMango Lassi is a delightful, sweet, and tangy drink that’s perfect for a hot summer day or as a refreshing accompaniment to your favorite Indian meal. It’s incredibly easy to make at home and a crowd-pleaser for all ages. Enjoy your culinary journey as you whip up this delectable Mango Lassi!", "domain": "hobby"}

He will touch on the region’s habitats, both in Taylor County where Abilene is located, and the surrounding counties. Jay will explain what makes the region special from a birding perspective, as well as cover some of the region's avian highlights over the years. Join us for Jay's talk and get excited about spring birding in the Big Country!\nBio: Born and raised in Abilene, TX, Jay Packer started birding at the age of 12 after an extended family road trip to the great national parks of the Western U.S. He quickly began traveling across Texas, then the U.S. and, at 20 years old, took his first trip to the tropics in Costa Rica. Epic road trips to Mexico ensued, where he and friends subsisted on peanut butter and tortillas for days as they looked for Mexico’s rarest birds, pulling the car into the woods to camp and getting a hotel once a week for the shower. More recently, Jay and his wife Amy have traveled for birds to Europe, then Ecuador, Australia, Brazil, Kenya, Madagascar, South Africa, India, and Southeast Asia. Closer to home, Jay is passionate about the Texas Century Club (seeing over 100 species in each county of Texas) and finding new county records. Jay loves sharing and talking about his passion for birding and photography.\nTitle: Grassland Bird Conservation in a Dynamic and Diverse State\nPresenter: Anita Hoskins\nDescription: Texas is a state of stark contrasts influenced by a dizzying array of elevational, meteorological, and geological gradients, all of which support an incredible assortment of ecosystems which support one of the richest and most diverse assemblages of species within the US including endemic species found nowhere else in the world.\nHowever, our population growth trends have resulted in more than 2.2 million acres of historical working lands lost between 1997 and 2017 – a concerning trend that leads the nation. Grassland and rangeland ecosystems have been particularly hard hit as are those species that rely on them. Grassland obligate birds have experienced the most significant decline of any guild of birds – greater than 50%.\nThis presentation will aim to answer questions associated with the needs of Texas birds and critical ecosystems with particular emphasis on grassland songbirds. It will assist in characterizing chronic stressors and the many tools that are available to address them including Audubon’s bird friend beef program.\nBio: Anita Hoskins is the Senior Coordinator of Private Lands overseeing the Southern Great Plains Region with Audubon Texas. She is experienced in helping landowners of all backgrounds find conservation solutions and is passionate about bridging the gap between agriculture and grassland bird conservation. Anita received her bachelors in Natural Resource Management from Angelo State University and her Masters of Natural Resource Development from Texas A&M University. Outside of work, Anita is sure to be found working on the family ranch, hunting, camping, or just being a student of nature.\nTitle: A Photographic Big Year\nPresenter: Laura Keene\nDescription: In 2016, Laura embarked upon a year-long journey with a goal of seeing and photographing as many species of birds in the ABA area as possible. During a year that got completely and utterly out of hand, she was one of four birders who broke Neil Hayward’s 2013 ABA mark and set a new ABA standard, photographing 792 species. On a personal level, 2016 was a year of unparalleled joy and fulfillment. In this presentation Laura shares her motivations for doing a big year, and the adventures involved as she traveled to each corner of the ABA area, from the lush beauty of Hawaii to the vast wilderness of Alaska. She will share the joy of her journeys – the sights, the people, the wildlife – as she lived her Big Year dream, immersed in the healing power of birding.\nBio: Laura is an avid birder and photographer who resides in Mico, Texas. A clinical pharmacist by profession, her passion for birding and photography led her to follow her dream and do an ABA photographic Big Year. Laura is chair of the ABA Recording Standards and Ethics Committee, former photo editor of The Ohio Cardinal, and her wildlife photography has been published in multiple outlets.\nTexas Ornithological Society\nWelcome to the Amazing World of Texas Birds!\nIf you love birds, Texas is definitely the place for you!

Our favorite books are read again and again.\nHere I share our favorites whose themes are centered on a mother’s love. I hope you’ll be reminded of some of your favorites, and maybe find a new one to love and share with your own children this Mother’s Day and beyond.\nSomeday by Alison McGhee and Peter H. Reynolds\nThis beautiful, simple story is a mother’s musings about the unfolding of her daughter’s life, from babyhood to childhood to becoming an adult, and her desire for her daughter to live life to the fullest.\n“Someday, you will run so fast and so far, your heart will feel like fire.”\nThe poignant writing is complemented by simple, touching illustrations. Get ready–this is a tearjerker. My daughters like looking at the pictures and the words, but honestly, this is a book that means more to me than to them.\nI gave a copy to my mother who loves it as well.\n2. Mama, Do You Love Me?\nMama, Do You Love Me? by Barbara M. Joosse and Barbara Lavallee\nThis is my favorite mother/daughter book. It is a sweet story in which the daughter asks her mother a series of questions to explore the limits of her love.\n“Mama, do you love me? Yes, I do, dear one. How long? I’ll love you until the umiak flies into the darkness, the stars turn to fish in the sky, and the puffin howls at the moon.”\nMy older daughter and I can recite this one by heart. It’s about the unconditional, forever love of a mother for her daughter. It has beautiful illustrations, and I love the setting of Inuit culture in the book. I highly, highly recommend this one for babies on up.\n3. The Runaway Bunny\nThe Runaway Bunny by Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd\nI read Goodnight Moon with both of my daughters and loved it, but somehow I never read this one until recently. And I love it! It is one of the most powerful books about a mother’s love I’ve ever read. Similar in theme to Mama, Do You Love Me?, this one tells the story of little bunny, who explores what would happen if he ran away from his mother.\n“If you become a bird and fly away from me,” said his mother, “I will be a tree that you come home to.”\nNothing can stop her from finding her bunny and bringing him back into her arms of love. The handpainted illustrations are surprising and stunning, and really bring the words to life. This is another favorite among favorites.\n4. Wherever You Are, My Love Will Find You\nWherever You Are, My Love Will Find You by Nancy Tillman\nThis one I love for its touching declaration of how the mother’s love will find her children wherever they are. It especially resonates with me since I have to be apart from my older daughter when she is at her dad’s.\n“Make a big splash! Go out on a limb! My love will find you. My love can swim!”\nThe mixed media illustrations are interesting and different, created in Tillman’s distinct, fanciful style. The pictures depict a child playing or interacting with all sorts of animals. This book, like all of Tillman’s books, features the theme “You are loved.” And I love that.\n5. Love You Forever\nLove You Forever by Robert Munsch and Sheila McGraw\nIn this beautiful classic, a new mom cradles her baby and sings to him a special lullaby.\n“I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always, as long as I’m living, my baby you’ll be.”\nAs he grows older and older, she continues to sneak into his room, and “if he’s really asleep, she rocks him back and forth, back and forth, and as she rocks him, she sings…”\nThe words and pictures are touching and sweet. Get out the tissues for this one, too. Both of my daughters love it. The lullaby in it is part of our lullaby repertoire now. I just made up the tune.\n6. Koala Lou\nKoala Lou by Mem Fox and Pamela Lofts\nThis is a sweet book about a little koala girl who has lots of little brothers and sisters and a mama who is very busy taking care of them. Koala Lou misses being little and having all of her mother’s attention.\nShe misses her mother saying, “Koala Lou, I do love you.”\nShe decides to do something big to get her mother’s attention and have her say that again, so she enters a tree climbing event in the Bush Olympics.\nI got this with my older daughter in mind, when I was expecting her younger sister. Now that she is 7, she enjoys it more than ever.\nIt also has really beautiful, colorful pictures, and I love all the Australian animals in it.\n7. If I Could Keep You Little\nIf I Could Keep You Little by Marianne Richmond\nThis is a sweet book about the bittersweet experience of watching our children grow up. Parents muse about keeping their children little, but how that would also mean missing all the special joys of watching our children as they grow up and gain independence.\n“If I could keep you little, I’d kiss your cuts and scrapes. But then I’d miss you learning from your own mistakes.”\nBoth my seven-year-old and three-year-old love this book. My older daughter and I are not crazy about the artwork, but that didn’t stop my daughter from saying, “I love this book” the other day. I also appreciate that the illustrations feature parents and children of different ethnic backgrounds.\n8. On Mother’s Lap\nOn Mother’s Lap by Ann Herbert Scott and Glo Coalson\nA little boy discovers that his mother’s lap has plenty of room for him, his toys, and his little sister. I love the setting of modern Alaskan Inuit culture, and the watercolor illustrations are beautiful.\n“There is always room on mother’s lap!”\nThis is especially good to read when a new baby is on the way or a child is having a hard time dealing with the changes that accompany a new sibling in the house.\n9. Mommy Hugs\nMommy Hugs by Anne Gutman and Georg Hallensleben\nThis book has lovely painted illustrations of various animal mothers and their babies. I especially like that it uses the correct names for the baby animals.\n“Mommy swan hugs her cygnet with a cuddle.”\nIt is especially good for bedtime reading and cuddles with a baby or toddler.\n10. Kiss, Kiss!\nKiss, Kiss! by Margaret Wild and Bridget Strevens-Marzo\nI picked this book up at the bookstore for Valentine’s Day one year, and both children have enjoyed it. Little hippo says goodbye to his mother and walks through various terrains, noticing all the other little animals kissing their mamas. Suddenly he remembers something he forgot to do.\nWith its simple repetition and various animals, it’s especially great for toddlers, preschoolers, and early readers. The brightly painted illustrations are cute, too.\n11. Ladybug Girl and Her Mama\nLadybug Girl and Her Mama by Jacky Davis and David Soman\nIf you like Ladybug Girl, this is a good one to add to the collection. It’s sweet and shows a simple day enjoyed by Ladybug Girl and her Mama. Just know that it’s much shorter than the regular Ladybug Girl books, with a very simple story.\n12. Mommy Hugs\nMommy Hugs by Karen Katz\nWe have read this one so many times. It’s definitely one of our most read books. I love Karen Katz books, and this one doesn’t disappoint. It is a counting book, following all the hugs from mommy, from the moment baby wakes up, ’til the time she goes to sleep at night. The inimitable Karen Katz illustrations are lovely, and really add to the story. One of my favorite parts is when the dog is seen in the background chewing on baby’s special teddy, and in the next picture, mommy is hugging her and comforting her. Later in the book we see that mommy has repaired the teddy bear as promised.\n“five ‘Mommy will fix it!’ don’t-cry hugs”\nThis bright, colorful counting book is especially good for babies and toddlers.\n(Note: This post contains affiliate links.)\nWhich of these do you and your children love, too?

For those who might not be aware, it is estimated that there are already over 2 billion gamers in the world. This makes sense when one considers that video games exist for people with all sorts of backgrounds, hobbies, interests, and of all ages. However, there are few video games that have impacted the culture like the GTA 5 Android has.\nBelieve it or not, GTA 5, when it was released in 2013, not only gained widespread critical acclaim. It also broke records worldwide in terms of being the fastest-selling entertainment product of all time. The game earned an astonishing $800 million in its first day because of how anticipated it was.\nThe game is an action-adventure video game that is intended for mature audiences, and follows three criminals attempting to commit heists in a fictional city called ”Los Santos”, which is based on Los Angeles.. The gamer can also choose to play from either a first-person or third-person perspective, as well.\nThe idea is to complete missions with specific objectives in order to advance in the game. GTA 5 Mobile revolves around three main characters: Michael De Santa, Trevor Philips, and Franklin Clinton, and their stories all intertwine as the plot proceeds. Some missions involve one character, while others involve multiple characters. These characters rank differently for all sorts of abilities, whether it’s driving, shooting, or other skills. There are all sorts of possibilities when one plays the game, which is part of the reason why the GTA series has become so successful. There are many that believe the idea of the game is to build a true criminal empire, or commit as many crimes as possible, although that is not the stated intent of the game at all, necessarily.\nTherefore, during the course of a game, one can actually become a real estate mogul, go to the movies, go sightseeing, or go hunting, and more. The game is extremely immersive, which is why some feel as though they are in an actual city when playing the game. There are aspects of the game that were only uncovered years later, to give one an idea of the true scope and brilliance of the game.\nThe game has undergone a series of re-releases for various consoles, as well. There is also now Grand Theft Auto Online, which allows up to 30 gamers to participate, as well. The game has made billions in revenue, and some even consider it one of the best video games of all time. The game has sold over 100 million copies, as well.\nWhile there are some that believe that the GTA 5 Game encourages violence, the truth is that the game has forever changed popular culture. The game’s release also showed the world just how powerful the video game industry is, and how important of a force it was in terms of the entertainment sector. There are many who still play the game to this day.", "domain": "hobby"}

This will prevent the chance of damaging the tire or sealing area while you are drilling.\n- Lay your new Screw-On Racing Disc on the front of the wheel and mark the through holes.\n- Center punch the marks and drill them through with a No.21 drill bit.\n- Tap the holes using a 10-32 tap.\n- Using 10-32 screws, screw your new racing disc onto the wheel. Important: The screws need to be close to flush with the back side of the front of the wheel, so as to not protrude into the tire and puncture the tire or break the seal. Check for proper screw length before re-inflating the tire and screwing the racing disc back on.\n- Once you have confirmed that the screw length is correct (flush), remove the racing disc.\n- Now fully re-inflate the tire.\n- Apply a ¾\" diameter drop of clear silicone gasket sealant to both sides of the racing disc holes and then screw the racing disc back onto the wheel. This insures that the racing disc won't move around on the wheel after installation.\n- Due to slight variances in the hole locations on the racing disc, it is recommended that you make a mark on the back side of the disc at the hole closest to the valve stem immediately after marking the holes. This will allow you to reinstall the racing disc in the same position (so that the holes line up properly) when the disc is removed.\n- Check the screws periodically for tightness and re-apply silicone sealant if necessary.\n- Wheel weights may be attached to the backside of the wheel or you can use the stick on type.\nClick Here to see why our site is safe and secure.", "domain": "hobby"}

The workshop participants will be introduced to various conductive yarns and fabric circuits and will collaboratively work on conductive yarn integration, and experiment with construction techniques to realise knitted and crocheted circuits and soft switches.\nAileen Drohan, Yarning Connections project lead, outlines how this could impact the textile landscape. “This collaboration between eTextile experts and yarn crafters provides a unique opportunity to create a new and sustainable network of skilled e-textile crafters, who learn from each other, keeping the old traditional craft methods alive, while encouraging the practice of e-textiles as potentially complementary disciplines.”\nFrances Cleary, Head of Division in Walton Institute, says “the project provides a pathway for traditional yarn crafting communities who typically don't engage in STEM-related activities to embrace and understand e-textiles. Releasing new electronic patterns under a CC licence makes it free to share and available to all to use or modify, keeping the tradition of pattern sharing and re-mixing alive for centuries to come.”\nDesign ideas generated during the workshops will be co-designed and co-created and developed by industry partners into new knitting and crochet patterns with eTextiles at its core. Once the draft patterns are ready, another 25 knitters and 25 crocheters will then test them and give feedback with a final aim of releasing knitting and crochet patterns with simple electrical functionality under a creative commons licence (CC BY-SA 4.0).", "domain": "hobby"}

While eating at an italian restaurant I noticed hand painted signs on the walls. These signs were painted in a wholly unique, yet charming script. It was bold and upright, almost exactly vertical. It had a high x-height and a great deal of contrast between the bold verticals and the thin connecting lines. I took some photographs of the signs and, once home, searched the internet for something similar. I found nothing even close. It just begged to made into a typeface.\nThe first step was to draw loose pencil drawings of the characters. These are based on the original hand painted script, but slightly modified to consolidate the best features of the hand painted script, yet eliminate inconsistencies between different versions of the same letters.\nThese shapes continue to be refined after they are scanned and redrawn in Illustrator. For example, The lowercase n in the above “spumoni” photo has very vertical stems, while the lowercase n in the “cannoli” has slightly curved concave stems. The pencil drawing favors the curved stem, but after it was viewed in the context of the rest of the font, it was redrawn to be straighter.\nIn order to maintain the hand painted look and feel, each brushstroke was drawn as an individual shape with careful attention paid to how real brushes behave. Note the taper on the bottom of the descender on the p as the brush is lifted off the surface. Also note the hard corner on the inside bottom of the counter of the p as the downward stroke of the brush intersects with the upward stroke, despite the smooth outside bottom curve.\nSome letters had to be slightly changed to make them more visually consistent with the rest of the script. Others had to be dramatically redrawn in order to be compatible. For example, the lowercase s was originally of the cursive style, with a prominent diagonal initial connection line. However, the angle of the connection line was not consistent with the connection lines of the other letters. And it could not be made consistent without intersecting badly with the tail of the s, or making the whole letter lean to the left. The problem was eventually solved by eliminating the initial connecting line and adding a more traditional terminal to the top of the s. Other letters that had to be dramatically redrawn included the lowercase r, v, and z.\nOne of the most exciting things about the original hand painted signs were the unique connections between the straight and round letterforms. A character with a rounded end would connect to a character with a straight vertical beginning in a smooth upward natural counter-clockwise arc. Same with two straights. But if a straight connected to a round, the connection would skew off in a clockwise arc to meet the top of the round letterform. The result is a very energetic part-harmonious, part-dissonant playfulness between the different character shapes.\nThis effect was accomplished in the script with an opentype contextual alternates feature. Each letter that ends in a straight vertical shape, such as the lowercase t, l, d, m, and n has an alternative version with the sharp clockwise arc. And whenever that letter is paired with a round letter shape, the alternate version of the straight letter is used. Also many of the letters have alternates which do not contain the ending connection line if it is the last letter of the word, such as the lowercase s, p, g, j and y.\nThe original photographs of the hand painted script had very few examples of capital letters or numbers, so those were drawn from scratch to match the general look and feel of the lowercase.\nSeveral opentype features were added to this typeface to make it as versatile as possible. There is a small caps feature, which lines up to the x-height of the lowercase letters. There are proportional, lining, and oldstyle figures. There are built-in automatic fractions for any number of numerators or denominators. It has a full set of accented characters or diacritics.\nBeppo was designed to be used as a display font. It luxuriates in large sizes. It is at home on large signs, posters, banners, and flyers where its handcrafted detail can be seen and appreciated. Legible, compact and smothered in typographic cheese – it just tastes good.", "domain": "hobby"}

I actually went with the toys and got a 35 mm camera. It takes fantastic pictures. My family decided I should get with the digital program and bought me the digital version of my 35 mm camera so that I could use all the lenses. Great gift. I love the camera. It takes incredible pictures, instant gratification, but doesn’t fit into my purse. It is a major thing to schlep the camera around, so I decided it was time to buy a tiny one so I had something available at all times.\nI did some research and decided that the Sony DSC-P150 was the way to go. First of all, it has 7 mega pixels which I think is important particularly for printing. My husband has a camera with 3 or 4 mega pixels and the printing quality is ok but not great.\nI ordered the camera on Amazon and unfortunately it was back ordered. In my need want it now, I went to B & H to make the purchase. B & H did not have it in stock but recommended that I purchase the Olympus C-7000 Zoom Digital Camera. The zoom was very key and the camera also had the 7 mega pixel I was looking for. So, I bought it.\nThe Olympus is one of the worse cameras I have ever used. I returned it 4 days later. Every time you took a picture, unless everyone was perfectly still and I mean perfectly still, the picture was blurred. Not a little blurry but you would see streaks across the shot. Why? I have no idea. It amazed me that such a high end camera could take such bad pictures. Now I had to get back to B & H to return. I hate returning but had no choice.\nI found the Sony, on line at Circuit City and had it in 2 days. The camera is fantastic. I wish it had a zoom lens but I am sure that accessories are out there. The camera grabs the picture, regardless of people moving. You can set up the camera based on the light such as snow, sun, or clouds. Very smart and very compact.\nSo, we’re off on vacation in a few weeks. Taking all the camera gear – including the 35mm but I am thrilled that I finally found the right one one for my pocket. Why would a digital camera with the technology available vary so widely? I learned my lesson. Stick with the camera you decide on in the first place, and just hunt it down.", "domain": "hobby"}

As of this post going live I guess I can officially call myself a blogger, eek! This has been a long time coming for me. Over the past few years, I’ve gawked at the bloggers and instagramers who have made a personal brand for themselves and their ability to inspire others while doing what they love. The idea of creating a blog has been juggling around in my head for quite some time now. Unfortunately, I let self doubts and excuses hold me back from hitting the ground running but, I’m SO over that now. Although I still have some hesitations going into this, and have no idea what I’m doing, I’m not going to let that stop me from investing my all. I pledge to give whoever decides to read this the best I can possibly deliver.\nYou may wonder what motivated me to (finally) get this blog off the ground? Well, to share a little bit more about myself, I recently graduated from San Diego State University with a degree in psychology. I always imagined myself working with children one day. I knew that this career path would be both amazingly rewarding, and something I’d enjoy doing for the rest of my life. It seemed as if I had my whole life planned out at 17, however, this wasn’t the case. Although I loved learning about Psychology while I was in school it was like a switch flipped when I graduated. I now felt this overwhelming sense of loss and confusion. I spent hours scrolling the pages of job listings but I couldn’t bring myself to click and apply for any. I thought, is this really what I want to do for the rest of my life, did I just waste fours years and thousands of dollars (ut-oh)!? My sense of security over the future turned into confusion and I felt like I was settling on one thing without exploring other things I love, like fashion! So now I’m taking a chance and am excited to explore my place in the fashion and blogging world. I look forward to a journey where I can count on being constantly inspired by those I encounter and hope that one day I too will be an inspiration to others.\nMY HOPES FOR THE FUTURE\nMy intention is for this blog to reach the modern millennial women, a cohort which I believe to be an unstoppable force especially when we ban together. Although this will mainly be a fashion blog my goal is to also incorporate my journey and life with you so that we can learn from each other. I hope that through this blog readers will see me discover my place in this world. My ultimate dream is to be recognized as a figure in the fashion industry, to be a role model and trendsetter, to attend fashions weeks and, maybe one day, designs some beautiful wearable pieces of art that I can share with the world.\nI appreciate and thank anyone who reads this and am happy to answer any questions if you’d like to leave them in the comment boxes below.\nWith love, Morgan", "domain": "hobby"}

We often keep a diary as kids, but lose practice when we get older - often times because we don't make time for it.\nJust like any form of self-care, journaling can take as much time or little time as you choose!\nOne Officer's Journey with Yoga & Mindfulness\nThank you to PC Sbeyti, Moosonee Detachment\nTell us about your journey with mindfulness after becoming a police officer:\nBecoming a police officer was one of the proudest moments of my life. I have been so blessed to be able to help people in their time of need and to be able to see parts of the province that people only dream of. With that being said, becoming a police officer also meant getting exposed to a lot of trauma, stress and grief that most people would not see in their lifetime. I started mindfulness training early in my career to create and maintain mental resiliency.\nWhat does mindfulness mean to you?\nMindfulness to me is training the mind to be conscious and present. Often we go through life events, both happy and sad, without really being present in the moment. Mindfulness helps me focus and to take control of my thoughts and emotions no matter what is going on. I am a passionate person and I tend to naturally get sucked into whatever I’m doing. Mindfulness has helped teach me how to be conscious and in the moment with everything I do without letting things consume me. I now recognize my emotions better and am able to be proactive with what I need to do. Mindfulness is a powerful tool that helps me be a better officer and a better person in general.\nHow has yoga helped you?\nYoga to me is the connection between mind and body. Slowing down my breathing and allowing my body to connect to my mind through deliberate movement is another way to reinforce mindfulness. It is also a great way to maintain active recovery after a hard workout!\nHow has practicing meditation benefited you, and your family?\nMeditation to me is the vehicle to mindfulness! I spend at least 15 minutes a day meditating. Meditation is the activity that I use to train mindfulness. Sitting down and breathing for a set period of time allows me to separate my emotions and thoughts from what is going on around me. Meditation helps remind me that there is always a sunny sky above the storm clouds. My family has benefited from meditation in that they sometimes join me and in that I am more likely to not bring work home due to being centered.\nWhat would you say to fellow OPP families wanting to to know more?\nI would say that there is no set path to mindfulness and meditation. We are all different, and there are different ways to train your mind. With today’s connected world, there are a lot of free and paid options to explore yoga, meditation, and mindfulness. My advice is don’t give up when you start. There are no instant results. You will find the residual benefits slowly start to pile up as you refine your practice. Don’t hesitate to try it though, you will not regret it!\nWhat are your top 5 reasons to practice mindfulness?\nBeing present and in the moment\nLearning more about who you are through being conscious of your emotions and triggers to people and event\nMental and physical resiliency\nBeing a better spouse, parent, and family member\nLearning to focus more on being happy and moving away from negative emotions\nDo you have any favourite apps you'd recommend?\nMy favourite apps to get people started are Headspace and ROMWOD. Both are online based, reasonably priced, and have scalable sessions for people who may not have lots of time.\nI have logged over 7 thousand minutes on Headspace alone! Headspace taught me how to meditate and has different sessions and lessons for whatever it is I want to focus on. They even have meditations for families and kids! ROMWOD is a great slow yoga for athletes.\nFor more info on the apps PC Sbeyti loves, click on the icons below!", "domain": "hobby"}

MQTT recently was thrown into my radar, and I began researching it to see if it’s capabilities would work in my blooming home automation project. The scenario I had was simple: I have two young children, with two new rooms recently added to my home to accommodate them. Does our current heating/cooling system keep their rooms at an ideal temperature for them to rest comfortably? Or will I horrifically overheat or chill my children due to improper balancing of my HVAC system? I created two small, wireless, Arduino-based XBEE sensors that could report to me the room’s humidity and temperature stats (amongst other things), but needed a system for these two sensors to report to. Enter MQTT and the Mosquitto broker.\nMQTT was a solid fit for what I was looking to accomplish. Having experienced RabbitMQ/AMQP over the last three years, I’m a fan of topic-based pub/sub systems. However, AMQP is a bit overkill for sending sensory data so simple as room temperature, and MQTT is perfect for taking over the job. The issue I had was with integration into my other systems: I use Mule ESB as my SOA hub for all my data storage and reporting systems in the house. So, I was saddened to see that, while supporting a plethora of other protocols, MQTT was not yet supported natively or via MuleForge. So I decided to change that, not just for myself, but for others looking to do similar projects as me.\nWithout further ado, I introduce the MQTT Mule Module v0.1. Let me start by putting up the normal disclaimer: Use this connector at your OWN RISK! While I will do my best to keep it relevant and in solid working order, I’m doing this all on my personal time, which can be lacking when it comes to hobbies. Second disclaimer: I’m not yet well-versed in MQTT, or in the creation process of Mule Modules/Connectors. So, these first couple releases are a learning experience for me, and I apologize if I have veered from good coding convention, or if a feature or two have been overlooked. I’m simply trying to get this connector in the wild so it can begin getting pressure tested by folks like yourself.\nSo what does v0.1 have? Pretty simply put, it has everything you need to subscribe and publish to a MQTTv3 broker. I’ve tested against Mosquitto servers only, so your mileage may vary. Currently, you can only subscribe to a single topic (no topic filters in this initial release). Also, you can only publish java.lang.String messages to the broker. Retention policies haven’t been exposed to you yet (I’m working on that) and LWT messages are not available.\nSounds pretty thin, doesn’t it? Great news: v0.2 is already in the works. It will expose the abilities that I had left out in the interest of time (such as retain settings exposure and LWT), and will also have a couple added features like payload transformations and population of inbound scope properties during subscribe. It will also contain any bugs found in the initial release, which I expect to be a few.\nDocumentation currently is being kept here:\nSource code is currently hosted here:\nIssues can be tracked here:\nThe module has been tested using the Mule ESB 3.3.0 Community Edition, but has been targeted to work *hopefully* on version 3.2.2. I will continue to test this connector against the Mule instances I have running and update the documentation as I discover issues.\nI encourage all of you to test this out and give me constructive feedback. I can’t stress enough how excited I am to be releasing this, but how nerve racking it feels to release something without having a lot of exposure to the coding practices and standards of writing such a plugin. It’s my hope that over the next many months, this module will stabilize and become a reliable connector for folks to use in their personal and professional endeavors.\nThanks for your interest!

Camp NaNoWriMo was starting that August, and I went for it, writing eighty thousand words just that month. I spent four or five months after that finishing it, another four or five months editing and redrafting it, and I’m currently editing the second draft. In addition to fiction, I plan to write often about the things I care about. I hope the reader will find a good mix of things here, from essays to opinions to short fiction.

Although he serves in an infantry unit, I wanted Harper and his battalion to carry a weapon other than the Springfield rifled muskets assigned to most of the Federal infantry regiments.\nI needed a weapon which\nhad distinctive properties and which had existed long enough prior to the war that\nHarper could have used it when he served as a U.S. Deputy Marshall in the\nNebraska-Dakota territory. It did not\ntake long to settle on the Sharps rifle as Harper’s weapon of choice because of\nits relative uniqueness on the Civil war battlefield, the reputation of the\nweapon with the First and Second U.S. Sharpshooter regiments, and because they\nwere produced in sufficient numbers that the purchase of six hundred rifles by\na battalion benefactor was a plausible premise.\n|Sharps Rifle Model 1859|\nThe Model 1859 was reported to have a maximum effective range of one thousand yards. When I was writing the first drafts of the Shiloh Trilogy, I accepted this number at face value and had my characters, happily blazing away at hapless Confederates from ranges over half a mile. That was until I moved into an office with a window.\nOne day while busily writing away, I happened to gaze out of the window and mentally go through a sniper’s checklist on a target on the other side of the freeway. While doing so, it became obvious that trying to sight onto a target the size of a single man over that distance would be very difficult without a telescope. The apparent target size is about the same height as the front sight of most rifles. Out of curiosity, I checked Google Maps and discovered that the house across the freeway was only six hundred yards away!\nSo, if my hero was to earn his reputation as a marksman, either he would have to have supernatural eyesight, or he would need a telescope on his rifle. This set me on a quest to discover whether a telescope had ever been used with the Model 1859 Sharps Rifle. I checked the websites of the two companies currently manufacturing this model or its successor, the model 1862. No, they did not manufacture telescopes for the rifles, nor did they provide any modifications which would allow a scope to be mounted and aligned on the weapon.\nNext, I did a search of antique firearms dealers and contacted many of them via email or telephone. All returned the same response: the Model 1859/1862 Sharps Rifle did not use a telescopic sight. So, I resigned myself to rewriting those chapters where Harper takes on targets at extreme ranges.\nFortunately for Harper and his men, I did one final internet search, trying to prove that the Model 1859 could mount a telescope.\nVoila! The Horse Soldier, a military antiques dealer in Gettysburg Pennsylvania showed exactly the weapon of Harper’s dreams in their on-line catalogue: a Model 1859 Sharps Rifle with a telescopic sight manufactured by William Malcolm of Syracuse, NY. The Horse Soldier description of the rifle included a serial number associated with those on the weapons issued to the USSS regiments.\n|Sharps Model 1859 with Malcolm Telescopic Sight|\nSo now, I can show the documentation proving that such a combination could have existed at the time in which the Shiloh Trilogy takes place. Unfortunately, I did not have the $12,000 asking price for the weapon and even if I had, it sold the same day that I found it.\nMy thanks go out to the National Museum of American History for use of the photo with the open sights and to The Horse Soldier for allowing the use of their photograph with the Malcolm sight.\nSean Kevin Gabhann is a Vietnam-era combat veteran of the US Navy. He first became interested in American Civil War history during the centennial celebration and he owns an extensive library of primary and secondary material related to Civil War.

I am going to be honest here, and admit to the most delicious addiction to the printed word.\nI love books, magazines, newspapers - anything with more than three words strung together that I can read. I do think that there is something about reading that is genetic. I say this because most of the people in my family are readers, the women more consistently than the men. My father in his later years would go to the bookmobile and check-out between five and ten novels at a time. He had a friend by the name of Morris Cyphers who would do the same. They would trade bags of books after a week, thus reading ten or more books each every two weeks.\nMy maternal grandmother, Ethel Slade, had a collection of Zane Grey novels I read before I was 12. I read \"Gone With the Wind\" the summer between the fourth and fifth grades, in less than three days. I read a two-volume 'Collected Works of William Shakespeare' the summer between the seventh and eighth grades.\nI have a minimum of ninety-six feet of shelved books currently, and probably another 25 or thirty not shelved. By shelved feet, I mean just that. There are thirteen 3-foot long shelves at various locations in my house and in Roger's workshop currently full of books.\nI invested a lot of time and money in my books, and have received education and entertainment from them that is immeasurable. I do not have an e-reader. I will not say I will never have one, the thought of how many books I could own if they were digital is very tempting. I have one downloaded book; a gift from the author.\nAll of this leads me to share the following link with you : Deep Thoughts from a Book Pirate. As much as I enjoy the written word, I would never, could never, steal a book or a magazine. Any product has cost associated with it, sometimes hidden but still costs. A library is free to the consumer but is supported by someone somewhere (often you the taxpayer). A book is written, proofread, edited and published, as are magazines,photographs, newspapers and songs. People earn a living from their work, their craft, their vocation.\nI have aspirations of being a published writer some day, and like to think that I will be fairly compensated for the work I produce. Internet and digital piracy is no different than walking up to a cashier in a store or a worker in a factory or a nurse in a hospital on payday and taking the paycheck from their hand and walking away. Think about it.", "domain": "hobby"}

The answer lies in a seemingly simple yet crucial factor known as the beam width of a boat. In the world of naval architecture, the beam width, or simply the beam, refers to the widest point of a boat’s hull. This often-overlooked dimension plays a significant role in determining a boat’s stability, maneuverability, and overall performance on the water.\nThe beam width of a boat is not to be underestimated, as it directly influences the boat’s ability to maintain balance and withstand external forces. A wider beam typically translates to increased stability, allowing the boat to distribute its weight evenly and resist tipping or rolling in rough waters. On the other hand, a narrower beam can enhance a boat’s maneuverability, allowing it to turn swiftly and navigate through tight spaces. Striking the right balance between stability and maneuverability is essential for a boat to perform optimally in various conditions, whether it’s for leisurely cruising, racing, or even commercial fishing.\nUnderstanding the significance of a boat’s beam width is not only essential for boat builders and naval architects but also for boat owners and enthusiasts alike. Whether you’re considering purchasing a new boat, optimizing the performance of your existing vessel, or simply curious about the intricacies of naval design, delving into the world of beam width will undoubtedly provide you with a deeper appreciation for the art and science of boating. So, let us embark on this journey together as we explore the fascinating realm of boat beam width and unravel the secrets behind the performance and stability of these floating marvels.\nThe beam width of a boat is the measurement of the widest point on the boat’s hull. It is typically measured from one side of the boat to the other at the widest part. The beam width plays a crucial role in determining the stability and spaciousness of a boat. It is important to consider the beam width when selecting a boat for specific activities such as fishing or cruising.\nUnderstanding the Beam Width of a Boat\nThe beam width of a boat refers to the width of the boat at its widest point. It is an important measurement to consider when purchasing or operating a boat as it directly affects the stability and handling of the vessel. In this article, we will explore the concept of beam width and its significance in boating.\nWhat is Beam Width?\nThe beam width of a boat is the measurement taken from one side of the boat to the opposite side, perpendicular to the boat’s length. It is typically measured at the widest point of the boat, which is often near the middle or amidships. The beam width is an essential dimension to consider because it determines the stability and interior space of the boat.\nBoats with a wider beam width generally offer more stability on the water. A wider beam provides a larger base for the boat, allowing it to distribute weight more evenly and resist tipping or rocking. This is particularly important in rough or choppy waters where stability is crucial for the safety and comfort of the passengers.\nFactors Affecting Beam Width\nSeveral factors influence the beam width of a boat. One of the primary factors is the boat’s intended use. Different types of boats, such as sailboats, powerboats, or fishing boats, have varying beam widths based on their specific requirements. For example, sailboats typically have a wider beam to provide stability while sailing, whereas fishing boats may have a narrower beam to navigate in tight spaces or shallow waters.\nAnother factor that affects the beam width is the boat’s overall length. In general, longer boats tend to have a wider beam as it allows for greater stability and interior space. However, it is essential to strike a balance between stability and maneuverability, as an excessively wide beam can hinder the boat’s ability to navigate in narrow channels or congested areas.\nImportance of Beam Width\nThe beam width plays a significant role in the performance and safety of a boat. A boat with an appropriate beam width will have better stability, making it more comfortable for passengers and reducing the risk of accidents caused by tipping or rolling. It also allows for more interior space, providing room for amenities, seating, and storage.\nMoreover, the beam width affects the boat’s ability to handle different weather and water conditions. Boats with a wider beam are generally better equipped to handle rough waters, as they offer increased buoyancy and resistance to rolling. On the other hand, boats with a narrower beam may be more suitable for maneuvering in tight spaces or shallow waters.\nConsiderations when Choosing a Boat\nWhen selecting a boat, it is essential to consider the beam width in relation to your specific boating needs. If you plan to engage in activities that require stability, such as fishing or cruising, opting for a boat with a wider beam width would be advisable. Conversely, if you intend to navigate in narrow channels or congested areas, a narrower beam width may be more suitable.\nIt is also important to note that the beam width should be considered alongside other factors such as the boat’s length, weight, and hull design. These factors work together to determine the overall performance and suitability of the boat for your intended use.\nMaintaining and Modifying Beam Width\nThe beam width of a boat is typically a fixed dimension determined by the boat’s design and construction. It is not easily modified without significant structural changes to the vessel. However, regular maintenance is crucial to ensure the beam width remains intact and the boat’s stability is not compromised.\nInspecting the hull and supporting structures for any signs of damage or deterioration is essential. Any issues should be promptly addressed by a qualified marine professional to prevent further damage. Additionally, following the manufacturer’s guidelines for weight distribution and load capacity will help maintain the boat’s stability and prevent excessive stress on the beam.\nIn conclusion, the beam width of a boat is a critical dimension that affects its stability, handling, and interior space. Understanding the importance of beam width and considering it alongside other factors when choosing a boat is essential for a safe and enjoyable boating experience. Regular maintenance and adherence to weight distribution guidelines will help preserve the boat’s stability and ensure its longevity.\nFrequently Asked Questions\nBelow are some commonly asked questions about the beam width of a boat.\nWhat is the beam width of a boat?\nThe beam width of a boat refers to the maximum width of the boat at its widest point. It is typically measured from the outer edges of the hull. The beam width plays a crucial role in determining the stability and space available on a boat. A wider beam width generally results in more stability and a larger interior space.\nIt is important to consider the beam width when choosing a boat, as it can impact maneuverability in narrow waterways and docking situations. Additionally, the beam width may have legal requirements in certain areas, so it is essential to ensure compliance with regulations.\nHow is the beam width of a boat measured?\nThe beam width of a boat is measured by taking the distance between the outermost points on each side of the hull. This measurement is typically taken at the widest point of the boat, which is often located amidships. It is important to measure the beam width accurately, as it directly impacts the boat’s stability and performance.\nBoat manufacturers provide the beam width measurement in their specifications, which can be useful when comparing different boat models. However, it is always recommended to verify the measurements personally or consult with a professional to ensure accuracy.\nDoes the beam width affect the stability of a boat?\nYes, the beam width significantly affects the stability of a boat. A wider beam width generally results in increased stability, as it provides a larger base for the boat to balance on. This stability can be beneficial in rough waters or when carrying heavy loads, as it helps prevent the boat from tipping or rolling excessively.\nHowever, it is important to note that excessively wide beam widths may also reduce a boat’s stability.

Make sure that it is suitably adjusted for your size and height as this will affect how you control the bike and how it acts on the trail.\nWith that taken care of, you can focus on the following.\n4 Steps To Improve Your Mountain Bike Skills\n1. Take Care Of Your Bike\nYour bike is your best friend on the trail and the only way to reach your goal.\nYou have to check your bike carefully to avoid bad encounters on the trail. Regular maintenance at the shop or simply checking the parts before hitting the road is a very good decision.\nIt will allow you to take care of everything in a safe environment that will give you a chance to focus on your riding rather than weird noises coming from the wheels.\n2. Ride With Better Riders\nCheck with local bike shops to find bike rider groups. When you join a group you can easily monitor and learn from more advanced riders.\nYou will get to see how they move and how they position and balance their bodies through different routes and in different situations.\nDon’t feel intimidated by their techniques, learning is a process and you only fail to learn.\nThe more time you spend working on your weaknesses, the better chance you get to improve your mountain bike skills and try to choose a top rated mountain bikes under 500.\n3. Practice, Practice, Practice\nRemember to practice right pedaling and maintaining your pace. When you pedal with jerky movements you mess up with your balance and might end piled up bruised on the ground.\nMaintain a spinning speed that allows you to stay on the bike while going up or down and through rough parts. Learning is a process. You need to practice and make mistakes.\nPractice bike handling tricks, bunny hoops and wheelie drops. You might fall once,….well maybe more than once, but you will rise a better rider.\nYou need to practice how to stop without putting your foot on the ground and how to use the brakes to do hops without falling. These might seem hard at the beginning but practice makes perfect.\n4. Spread Your Wings And Fly\nTrust yourself. Try new terrains and challenge yourself as this will help you become a better rider. Go on easy on yourself, take some easy routes and work your way up.\nGo around the block, run errands, go up and down a step or two then take it up a notch. Don’t limit yourself and choose a more challenging route every time.\nDon’t let obstacles stop you. Ask other riders for tips and don’t worry about making a fool out of yourself. Remember that we fall to rise.\nImproving your mountain bike skills will take time but won’t come while you are chilling on the couch. So what are you waiting for? Get ready. Get set. Go!", "domain": "hobby"}

We have 3 rim profiles that are available in different sizes and weights that are hand laid in carbon fiber to achieve a superb controlled ride when matched to our hub-sets. When designing our rims and molds we concentrated on being able to strategically place material where it was needed and remove material where it was not. This combined with a unique low profile design mitigates rock and debris impact, gives you more vertical compliance and at the same time retains a superb lateral stiffness. The result has best been described as wheel that is stiff enough for superb control but not overly stiff so one needs to change their style of riding.\nYour wheels are no good if the tire does not stay in its proper place. We have dedicated a lot of time into the tire and rim interface to give you 100% confidence in your wheels. With that in mind we have retained the tire bead hook. Is it harder? Yes. Is it more expensive and time consuming? Yes. Is it a better interface than hookless? Yes\nWhile most riders will never hit full cornering speeds on a world cup DH course, we designed our rims to do just that. At the hightest level of riding and racing, hard cornering wants to rip the tire from its seated position on your rim. We have combined a ramped tire bed in combination with a bead hook that virtually eliminates any burping or unseating of the tire in hard cornering. This combined with an industry leading 4.5mm bead/hook wall for impact survival assures you will have the best performance and confidence as you rail those rocky corners and descents.\nWith a carbon rim we can place material where we want to tune the ride in infinite combinations. There is a lot of internal profile shaping that makes our rim ride and perform so well. One signature feature you can see is our re-enforced nipple extrusions. In the higher stress areas where the spoke nipple seats and exits the rim, we have added material in a directional manner so as to stiffen and strengthen the assembly as needed. Conversely this allows the material to be thinner and lighter between the spoke locations. Not only engineering you can see, but more importantly a feature that contributes to the build and ride of the wheel on the trail.\nEach SPĒD hub is tailored to the discipline the wheel set it was intended for. We designed a straight pull shell to optimize spoke position and tension as well as optimize weight. Our free hub body uses a 4 pawl system for CX and XC while our TR and DH freehub bodies use a 6 pawl system. Each rear hub can be serviced with only a pair of cone wrenches allowing easy changes between Shimano and Sram freehub bodies.\nWhen we design our own hubs with our rims in mind we can control things some other wheel companies can not. One of the key features of our wheels is the positioning of spokes in relation to our rims. Since we design both we can make sure that the exit angle and direction of each spoke matches the entry angle and position at the rim. This assures that the spoke head is uniformly seated at the hub and the spoke nipple is firmly seated at the rim bed. No unwanted side loading of hub, spoke or rim material. This reduces fatigue of the individual components and allows it all to work as a system. This allows a stable build and optimization of each component. The result, a consistent laterally stiff wheel in the corners and compliant controlled ride in the drops and rock gardens.", "domain": "hobby"}

Bacon\nCake Decorating Tips\nI've been decorating baked goods since I was little, mostly learning by trial and error as I go, watching YouTube videos and baking shows. I'm still very amateur, but I've started to get more serious about my cake decor. I did my friend's wedding cake, as well as her bridal shower cake, my own graduation cake, and my parents' 25th Anniversary cake.\nI am by no means an expert on this, but if you are an amateur or a beginner as well, here are some simple tips.\n1. The cake itself is the foundation of any decorating process. Think about the height of your cake. I do tiered cakes, so the cakes I bake have to firmer to support the weight, while still being moist and delicious. If you're only doing a single or double layer cake, you don't have to worry so much about this.\n2. Always make sure your cakes are cold before decorating them.\n3. Your frosting must be the right consistency. I usually use buttercream when I decorate my tiered cakes. When you make buttercream, always use real butter, and powdered sugar. Please, never use granulated sugar! I usually use cold butter in my buttercream. It takes longer to whip, but in the end, It doesn't melt against your hands when you're piping, and it holds the cakes together better. Another tip is to always make extra. You will never have enough buttercream when making tiered cakes. I always have to make several batches.\nNever use milk in your buttercream! Butter doesn't spoil but milk does! If your cake is going to be outside in the sun or in a warm environment where the butter may melt, I'd suggest making a Crisco based frosting. It sounds weird, I know, but it's actually really yummy, and it holds up longer than buttercream. You can look up recipes on Google.\n4. Always level your cakes. Your cakes must consistently be flat, and not angled. I've made this mistake several times. You may think it doesn't matter, but it does when your cake starts to become the leaning tower of Pisa. Also, try your best to make sure the width of your cakes are the same size, and are smooth. This will also affect the end result.\n5. Stack your cakes as straight as possible with generous amounts of buttercream. Don't skimp out.\n6. After you stack the cakes, put in the fridge for 30 min. You'll want the buttercream to become solid and hold the cakes in a solid position before you begin pushing it around as you decorate.\n7. There's this thing called a crumb coat. I know most of us usually want to just frost the cake and get it over with, but if you do that, you have a high possibility of very obvious crumbs making an entry. A crumb coat is a thin layer of buttercream that you put on the cake immediately after you remove the stacked and chilled cake from the fridge, to trap those annoying crumbs. After the whole cake is covered in buttercream, gently scrape off all the extra cream. You should be able to clearly see the individual cakes beneath white veil of cream. Chill for another 30 min. to set.\n8. For a naked cake, I usually use two layers of buttercream. The crumb coat, and a thicker layer. If you aren't making a naked cake, you may need several layers of buttercream. Always chill for 30 min. between each layer.\n9. If your making a tiered cake, always use dowels. Cake decorators use small wooden dowels cut to size, inserted in the middle of the bottom cakes to add support. If you don't use dowels, your cake may start to lean, or even worse, collapse. I don't use wooden dowels, instead, I use Bubble Tea straws. They work just as well, and are easier to cut to size. Cheaper too. I usually make two tiered cakes, so I only need to insert dowels on the bottom, larger cake. Then I add a dollop of buttercream and stack the second tier on top. The buttercream is chilled, so I don't have to work about messing it up with my hands as I try and situate it. I use three to four bubble tea straws in the center of the bottom tier.\n10. If you're transporting the cake, it's probably a good idea to stick a longer dowel (or straw) straight through the top of the fully stacked cake. Cut off any extra straw, and stick it down until you can't see the top of the straw anymore. You can use a dollop of buttercream to hid the hole. Another tip is to always plate your cake before stacking it. It's really heavy and will be hard to move if you wait until after.\n11. All you have to do now is finish with your own decorations. I'm not going to go into piping because I'm not very good at it yet, but I do enjoy pallet knifing. If you've ever taken an art class, you may be familiar with the term as it's a common tool for painting. The principles are pretty much the same. You can look at my Graduation cake below and see how I used this technique.\n12. My last tip is to not overdo it. If you're anything like me, you may often want to just keep going and strive for the best, but I've learned that the best cakes are often the most simple. Okay, that's not my last tip. My last tip is, if you choose to decorate with flowers, please check whether or not your flowers are poisonous or not. Also make sure they are clean. Sticking them in a cake means that anything in or on those flowers is going to be coming into contact with someone's stomach, and a case of food poisoning is a lot worse than an ugly cake. When setting up my flowers, I cut the stems off until they're just little stubs. I use a piping back with a large tip to make a big dollop of buttercream and then I stick my flowers in that big dollop. This way, when you're ready to serve the cake, you just have to scrape off that extra mound of buttercream!\n#CakeDecorating #CakeDecoratingTips #BlueandGoldGraduationCake #WeddingCake #CakeDecoratinginGoldBeachOregon #DIY #GoldBeachOregon #MalaikaBaconPhotography", "domain": "hobby"}

There are exciting gallery exhibits rich with networks of aspiring creatives, enthusiastic directors, engaged educators; and passionate spectators everywhere! We chat endlessly about what is trending; the histories behind the images, the theories and philosophies, and plan many, many trips to various museums, concerts, qi gong classes, and shows. The joy I feel when I see people’s visions materialize into something tangible never ceases to invade my soul, I’m always left in awe of the works which are presented.\nJulie Cousens, Co-Executive Director and Co-Founder of the Blue Door Art Center has become an inspiration. I’ve learned she’s a photographer originally from Queens who started out using 35mm cameras and developing her own b&w film. Inspired by photographers like Joel Grimes, her favorite aspect of the craft is lighting, which she will always follow, much like the hunt for that pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. These days her children are grown, raising their own, and she is excited to use her freedom to focus on Blue Door as well as her own art. She describes it as her way of living in the moment, not dwelling on what she, or anybody, thinks she should or could be doing instead.\nBeing both a gallery director and photographer are her passions; a calling that is very evident as she answered questions like, “How do you overcome pressures and insecurities in your director role? As a photographer?” and “What are your greatest achievements and how do you continue to challenge yourself as an artist?” with examples and stories.\nJulie coolly smiles as she thinks about her responses. She starts the conversation with sharing how she loves to visit the Hudson River for reflection and relaxation. The area is calm and meditative, allows her a chance to live in the moment and brainstorm future project ideas for the art center as its collaborations with many other organizations in the area evolve. The Blue Door is growing as it successfully hosts Open Mic nights every last Friday and participates in monthly gallery hops alongside Urban Studios, Philips Manor Hall Gallery and Riverfront Library. The committed staff of the Blue Door strives to make a name for themselves as they search for resourceful ways to reach out to their community and find specific, affordable ways to work with libraries and schools.\n“Whatever camera you have is the one you’re supposed to have. Photography is not about the camera, but about using the tools acquired.” Julie describes herself as someone who always seeks out new lighting projects for her own photography as she experiments with the camera on her mobile phone. With the advent digital photography, it has become easy to enter a creative world. With YouTube as part of that e-revolution, learning how to be a creative photographer (or –anything-) has become much more accessible.\n“[YouTube] has made it easier to learn how to cultivate creative skills like photography, easier to share art and vision, when [we]started out using film. It forced us to learn how to be more technical.” Cousens describes her newfound fascination for learning how to use her cell phone for photography with delight. While she very much enjoys being challenged by technology these days, she reminisces about the past, making a point on how much more time was required in the practice before anyone would identify oneself as a skilled photographer. On the other hand, social media has made it easier for newbies to develop thick skins and not be so shy in terms of exhibition and performance.\nWe both share our thoughts of the digital revolution and cell-phone-inspired-filters that make our Instagrams pop (and many of us yearning for that greener grass on all those other sides): there’s still a huge difference between a snapshot and a photograph. Julie described the snapshot as capturing a moment, but photography as the craft of preserving it. As a huge fan of Anna-Lou “Annie” Leibovitz, Julie admires how special a skill it takes for the professional to take a group of strangers and make their style look so natural. Julie describes Leibovitz as a stylist who knows how to convey an emotion, to truly pull something special from a subject with true knowledge of design, and leave viewers speechless.\nAfter meeting Julie several times, I’m moved by how humble she is; she’s the first person to highlight her resident poet Golda Solomon and share information on exciting, new events, but has never shown her own works publicly. With shock, I ask her why not? She laughs, says she’s shy and feels triumphant in curating shows and highlighting others’ talents. Julie says her life’s work now includes giving a platform for all artists to achieve success in any medium: open mic, performance, weaving, sculpting, photography, and painting, whatever the individual chooses.\nAs we wrap things up, she gifts me with a personalized calendar of her photography. I’m honored to receive such a beautiful gift, it currently hangs in my hallway and I’m reminded to keep working toward my own success every time I pass by and look up toward the light. Julie’s passion for the arts is most definitely contagious, I walked out feeling as if I had graduated onto something, and is much needed for aspiring artists and restless people in search of creative outlets.\n“Always knock”, she reminds me. “The art world should not be intimidating. I have an open door policy. Just knock, there’s always someone here.”", "domain": "hobby"}

Work the dough while it’s still warm and the steam will keep it light and easy to mix. This helps to minimize the amount of flour added, to further ensure that the finished product isn’t gummy or pasty.\n- Mixing tip. Making a crater in the middle of the warm potato mixture and adding the eggs to it helps to distribute the eggs more evenly. The end result is smooth dough, with no pockets of egg.\nThis tool is one we find especially helpful when making this dish.\n- Food mill or ricer. To get perfect, lump-free dough without overworking your potatoes, simply pass them through an old-fashioned food mill or potato ricer. This tool also makes the perfect mashed potatoes for Michael Mina’s Crab Brandade.\nThe list below includes all the equipment you’ll want to make this dish.\n- Baking dish or sheet pan\n- Food mill or ricer\n- Large bowl\n- Cutting board or large clean surface like a marble countertop\n- Bench scraper\n- Rolling pin\n- Pasta cutter or ring mold\n- Baking sheet with flour or parchment\n- Small individual containers\n- Small bowl and pastry brush\n- Large pot\n- 2 pounds large (about 3 to 4) unpeeled russet potatoes, scrubbed\n- 18 large egg yolks\n- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan (from a 3-ounce chunk)\n- Kosher salt\n- 2 cups all-purpose flour (about 10 ounces), plus extra for dusting work surfaces\n- 1 large egg, beaten with 2 tablespoons water\n- Essential equipment: ricer\nYield: makes about 12 (3 1/2-inch) ravioli\nActive time: 1 hour\nTotal time: 3 hours 30 minutes\n- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Pierce the potatoes all over with a fork and bake until a knife can easily be inserted and removed from the potatoes, about 70 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool just enough to handle. (The goal is to quickly release the steam that has built up in the potatoes. Rubber gloves are useful when working with hot potatoes.)\n- Immediately peel the potatoes or scoop out their flesh with a spoon and press the flesh through a ricer. Spread the riced potatoes out onto a large baking sheet to allow the steam to escape and let cool. You should have about 5 cups total. On a work surface, mix the potatoes, cheese, and a big pinch of salt gently to combine and form the mixture into a loose mound. Make a well in the center of the mound.\n- Add 5 of the egg yolks to the well and break them up using a fork. Work the potato mixture into the eggs, a little at a time, until smooth. The key here is to not overwork the dough or it will become gummy. Add the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, and gently knead just until the dough becomes a large smooth ball, for about 5 minutes. (Note: Cutting the dough in half with a bench scraper and placing it on top of the other and then pressing it down will help to mix the flour in but not overwork the gluten in the flour). The dough should feel firm but yielding. To test, pinch off a piece of dough and roll it on a floured surface into a rope about 1/2-inch in diameter. If the rope holds together, the dough is perfect. If it’s too dry, add another yolk or 2 tablespoons of water to the dough. If the rope seems damp and falls apart, add more flour, knead, and test again. Cover the finished dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.\n- On a floured surface, divide the dough into two equal balls. Roll one dough half to 1/8 to 3/16-inch thick, flouring the dough and surface as needed so the dough doesn’t stick. With a 3 1/2-inch diameter ring mold or small bowl, cut rounds from the dough. If you need to, push together the dough scraps and re-roll until smooth. Once you have all of the rounds cut, repeat with the other half of the dough. You should end up with about 24 rounds. Sprinkle a baking sheet with flour and hold the circles on the sheet in between layers of parchment paper.\n- On 12 of the dough rounds, pipe a ring of the spinach filling starting 1/2 inch from the edge. Make sure to leave a 1 1/2 inch circle of dough in the center to hold the egg yolk. Carefully drop an egg yolk in the center of each round. Season the yolk with gray salt and pepper. Brush the egg-water mixture along the edges of all 24 dough rounds. Place an empty dough round over a filled one, gently sealing it all the way around, careful so as not to break the yolk inside. If you choose, crimp the edges as you would a pie. Transfer the ravioli to a floured baking sheet, cover with a damp cloth and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. If storing for longer, up to 8 hours, cover the cloth-covered ravioli with plastic wrap.\n- Boil a large pot of salted water. Place one or two ravioli in the water at a time. The ravioli is ready 45 seconds after it floats to the top of the water. Take out with a spider and place on a plate.\nGnocchi with sautéed greens, brown butter, herbs & parmesan\nRoll the dough into gnocchi, boil them in salted water and then toss them with sautéed greens, brown butter, Parmesan cheese and herbs.", "domain": "hobby"}

New guitars have done quite a bit of traveling before they make it to your hands and that traveling sometimes cause problems.\nGuitars are made of wood and that wood expands and contracts on the trip overseas. Also, new guitars are normally not \"set-up\" properly, meaning the strings often set high above the fretboard. This leads to tuning issues and more importantly for the new player, the frustration that comes from a guitar that hurts their fingers and doesn't sound right.\nPre-owned guitars are often \"broken in\", have proper set-ups and usually play better than a new guitar. In fact, it is not unusual for a used guitar that costs hundreds less than a new one to play even better!\nBesides, used guitars come with something a new guitar just can't replicate.....

People of all ages are shipping vinyl records within their own country or overseas every day. The vinyl revival has seen the sales of old records soar, so much so that recently vinyl album sales outperformed digital downloads for the first time.\nRecord collectors and those who sell records online for cash need affordable courier services to then ship those beloved LP’s to customers the world over. The Parcel Monkey marketplace is an ideal service to compare shipping prices so that mailing your record collection can be easily done.\nUsing Parcel Monkey to ship an old record or a new one is no different from sending any other item. Once you have the record packed and ready to ship, it's time to let our shipping calculator do the hard work.\nJust enter the dimensions and weight of the package, plus the destination information and we will find you a range of affordable courier services to handle your item. All you will need to do is print and attach the shipping labels and any customs documents if necessary.\nIf you are shipping vinyl records to Europe, Australia or elsewhere you will be able to choose from a wide range of the best courier services such as DHL eCommerce or even use our discounted USPS International shipping rates. If the package is more urgent, we have FedEx services available offering delivery in 2-5 days - just look for International Pickup or International Drop Off once you have put your package details into the shipping calculator.\nIf you are sending within the USA our USPS online shipping rates will be lower than you might be able to get booking direct, as we have access to discounted courier rates due to the volume of packages we send. We also offer a variety of FedEx services from the economy Ground Home Delivery to FedEx Overnight.\nThe courier services that will be available for you to book will depend of course, on where you are shipping to and from.\nParcel Monkey is more likely to save you money if you are shipping heavier items such as a record collection or a vinyl storage box with several types of vinyl in. We recommend that each vinyl is packaged individually to minimise the risk of any damage. There is nothing worse than ordering a new vinyl online, or one listed in ‘good condition’ on eBay only for it to arrive with the sleeve corners folded or creased.\nAs a seller, you will of course value customer feedback, so be sure to use a good quality, thick cardboard LP mailer.\nPRO TIP- Remove the record and inner sleeve from the outer sleeve to prevent movement and any scratches caused by movement in transit. Put the record in its inner sleeve on top of the outer packaging and secure tightly with bubble wrap and tape, so it can no longer move around when being posted.\nThen using two large pieces of cardboard bigger than the size of your record, put them either side of the vinyl so that it is wrapped safely in the bubble wrap. Secure them all together with some good quality packaging tape.\nSlot the nicely packed vinyl inside your LP mailer, choose the courier of your choice, print the vinyl shipping labels out, attach to the box and it’s ready to send!\nWhen you book a shipping rate with Parcel Monkey, you can also add protection cover to your item in the booking process to give you that peace of mind that the item is covered in the unlikely circumstance it is damaged in transit.\nOne of the most popular items shipped via Parcel Monkey is bulk collections of vinyl records, which have either been sold as a ‘job lot’ or might be shipped by somebody who may be moving to a new location. A bulk load of vinyl could be quite heavy, so expensive to send via the Post Office, so customers using our shipping marketplace can find a better deal using our discounted shipping rates with the likes of DHL or FedEx.\nOur range of courier services will have you covered if you need domestic overnight shipping, express international delivery or a cheaper standard economy rate. Media mail services are very popular for shipping vinyl records, but you can enjoy full tracking and fast delivery transit times with Parcel Monkey as well, especially for those heavier vinyl shipping boxes or old record collections.\nIf you have multiple vinyls to ship to a number of addresses, then our bulk shipping tools can help you save both time and money.\nMany small businesses and individuals who are shipping vinyl records internationally need to know much it will cost to arrange the shipping of their vinyl overseas, as well as how long it will take. We made our shipping calculator quick and easy to use for this exact reason, to help you save time and money.\nYou can send from almost anywhere to any destination using our courier services, but this will, of course, impact on how long it will take for any package to arrive.\nOur expedited shipping rates will make sure any vinyl you send arrive quickly. Most major destinations can be covered in just a 2-4 day window using our cross-border delivery options.\neBay sellers can enjoy not only some of the best delivery prices with trusted and reliable couriers, we also can help them find a way to deliver vinyl records to customers all around the globe.\nThe used vinyl and record market on eBay is huge, as well as marketplaces such as Discogs with popular, rare and limited edition LP’s being sold every minute. Sellers on eBay use our door to door shipping services, protection cover and also full tracking.\nThe tracking details can also be passed on to the recipient, which means you can provide a better level of service to the buyer.\nAnother scenario may be that you are a record collector and buying old records for sale online and the seller isn’t offering delivery to your location. You may be able to advise the seller that you can arrange the shipping from their address, and all the shipper will need to do is box the vinyl up, stick the shipping label on and hand over to the collection driver, or drop off at the local Post Office.\nThe vinyl shipping dimensions you should declare will need to account for the extra weight and dimensions that packaging adds. Any vinyl record that is packaged correctly, will be larger than standard 12” or 7” size.\nBe sure to measure any item accurately before you get a price for delivery, as you will not want to incur any additional charge from the courier who is handling the goods.\nGenerally, records weigh no more than 200 grams each, but if heavily packaged and in the sleeve or jacket this could increase. Be aware if arranging the bulk shipping of vinyl records, of the weight of all the cardboard sleeves, packaging and even the vinyl storage box you may be using.\nRecord players, record storage boxes, cleaning brushes and spare parts being sold on Etsy or eBay have all been transported using our courier services. Cleaning fluids cannot be shipped however as all liquids are prohibited.", "domain": "hobby"}

After years of hard work and numerous competitions, companies heard about my success. I was then sponsored to be a professional climber. Imagine, I earn my living doing what I love!”\n“The challenges. When I climb, I always face challenges. Sometimes I face physical challenges which mean I have to get stronger. Other times I face technical challenges that make me figure out how to move my body more effectively. Fear and self-doubt cause mental challenges for me to overcome. Each difficulty is like a puzzle and once it’s solved, I can climb without fear of falling. That’s rewarding.”\n“I’m always super careful about climbing and I make sure I use all of my equipment properly. Because I know it’s safe, I’m not usually scared of getting hurt. But sometimes I’m scared of failing. I’m afraid of what people will think of a professional climber who falls. Then I remind myself that with courage, hard work, and perseverance I can do this climb!”\n“Get out there and climb! Work hard and never give up. If you fall, get right back up and try again. If you are not falling, then you’re not challenging yourself.”\n“Life is like rock climbing because you are constantly faced with new challenges. Sometimes you overcome the challenge right away and it seems easy. Other times it takes lots of work. One thing is for sure, no matter the challenge, it’s worth the work. Don’t give up.”\nYou’re the best! I have never rock climbed before, but I'm glad you came. It took courage, cooperation and perseverance. The talk you gave us changed the way I live.\nI had never had the courage to go rock climbing, but after your group talked about courage, I was willing to try. I climbed my hardest and tried my best and made it on my first try! Thank you for coming to our school and teaching us to do our best at everything.\nThe rock wall was awesome! I may not have made it to the top but thanks for helping me start. I’m absolutely terrified of heights but it was sooooooooo much fun!\nYour lesson about climbing to the top with character really had me thinking about the things I should do to keep my life going forward and not down the drain. And the lesson plan was fun, and it was exactly like life. You have your ups and downs and sometimes you don’t know what rock to put your foot on or when you were down, someone helped you up.\nI had a lot of fun. Most of all you taught us a lot about character and the best thing was that we had fun doing it. I’m hoping you will come back next year.\nYou gave our class a chance to have fun and learn about character all at one time. It kind of made most of my class think about life and how there is going to be some struggles and challenges. For opening up our eyes, Thank You!”", "domain": "hobby"}

At the beginning of this year I moved to Cape Town to complete my studies and utilise the famous winter rainfall and big ocean swell, which provide some of the best kayaking South Africa has to offer.\nAfter one very promising wet-week in the beginning of winter, the sky cleared and the rivers dried up. I did, however, manage to get onto the water a number of times to paddle two of the Western Cape’s premier rivers. These paddles also gave me the opportunity to paddle my new Fluid Detox on some hard lines.\nMy first paddle of the season was a solid-level run of the Molenaars River. As usual it was an awesome mission on a very fun river, at a pretty high level. It was the perfect start to the season and it really showed me the benefit of paddling the Detox on slightly higher volume rivers/creeks.\nVery soon after the Molenaars run, Adrian Tregoning and I decided to hit the infamous Witte. As it was the beginning of the dry winter, the sun was out, but the water was still high. This made it a perfect opportunity to get some great photos on a river usually plagued by cloudy wet conditions.\nKayaking the Witte is always a stressful as there are so many rapids remembering the lines becomes a problem. Having many lines to remember becomes so much worse when there are many hidden siphons on every rapid which could very easily provoke horrendous consequences.\nThe paddle turned out to be another “tough day in Africa” with some awesome white-water and few surprises on the way.\nDuring the descent, the Fluid Detox quickly became one of my favourite kayaks ever. Having pronounced rails gives you so much control when wanting to change lines down a rapid or carve effortlessly across the current into places that one generally struggles to get to.\nLooking outside at the moment I can see rain clouds so hopefully this mid winter drought is coming to an end and I will be able to get my Detox wet again soon.", "domain": "hobby"}

This app is a jackpot of information. I learned so much from playing this app and I am excited for my kids to play it and learn as well. The activities are fun and engaging. They really hold the attention of the child (or adult) and make learning about dinosaurs, minerals and fossils a whole lot of fun! This app is a great value. The knowledge your children will gain will far outweigh the $3.99 you pay to play. I look forward to more Zachy the Robot adventures and more treasure hunting with my kids!\nThere is no doubt that “Zachy the Robot: Quest for the Museum Treasures” is an entertaining app to play through. The games involved are quite interactive and visually appealing and the music is actually a pleasure to listen to.\nAs the game includes 25+ locations to explore and learn about, there is no shortage of content included in the app. Your child is not likely to become bored or complete all the content in one session of game play, so it’s likely to keep them coming back for more. Even if they do get tired of searching for dinosaurs and fossils and move onto something else, you can be sure that there will be unexplored content available to them when they do revisit Zachy’s world. In other words, yes, it’s fun!\nOverall, a very well-done app – highly engaging and does a good job of working on basic skills such as pattern matching, puzzle solving, matching and sorting as well as providing an introduction to more advanced information about Fossils, Dinosaurs and Minerals.\nOne of the most exciting places I have found to take children is a natural history museum. There are so many different types of exhibits that everyone is sure to find something appealing. Zachy the Robot: Quest for the Museum Treasures gives your child (ages 3-6) that same exciting feeling, with information on not one, but three different subjects- minerals, fossils, and dinosaur bones. Because of its impressive scientific content and its engaging and interactive format, it is awarded a TopPick byFunEducationalApps.\nZachy the Robot: The Leaning Tower of Robocity\nWinner of a Parents’ Choice Recommended Award!\nDesigned to help parents and caregivers of all achievements and backgrounds make informed decisions about which new products are right for their children, the Parents’ Choice Awards is the nation’s oldest nonprofit program created to recognize quality children’s media. The Parents’ Choice Awards program honors the best material for children: books, toys, music and storytelling, magazines, software, videogames, television and websites. Parents’ Choice Foundation’s panels of educators, scientists, performing artists, librarians, parents and, yes, kids themselves, identify the very best products for children of different ages and backgrounds, and of varied skill and interest levels.\nExcerpt from Parents’ Choice Review:\nThe animation is well done and the lessons that are integrated throughout the show are engaging. Some include real video, such as the pyramids in Egypt, to use as examples of well-supported structures. Our testers (ranging from three- to six-years-old) enjoyed watching the episode on multiple occasions.\nNot only is this app educational, but the cartoon section is excellent as well, reminding me of the best programming PBS has to offer – high praise to be sure. The animation is excellent and colors used are very bright and engaging, as are the narration and music that are used.\nI was pleased that the problems were based on STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) concepts. The developer took the educational value so seriously that they worked in conjunction with Carnegie Mellon University – a wonderful leading research center for early childhood education and development.\nTaking Pictures With Dinosaurs\nAppAdvice’s Quirky App of the Day\nMy kids love dinosaurs. A trip to the natural history museum is like a trip to the candy store. Anything that remotely deals with dinosaurs are an immediate item of interest to them. Taking Pictures With Dinosaurs was a great app for them. They had fun posing with the dinos and had specific ideas of how they wanted to pose.", "domain": "hobby"}

I want this soap to have a nice, long cure time.\nThis soap was a real challenge for me! It was my first time using a couple of the ingredients in soap (mango butter and jojoba oil); the first time I’ve made a 100% milk soap (it was easier than I thought it was going to be!); and the first time creating such an elaborate soap recipe using so many specialty ingredients. It’s also my first time posting a picture tutorial! One of my blog followers requested that I do a detailed picture posting of the making of this soap, so here it is!\nBecause some of the results of the polls were so close, I ended up working in the top 2 ingredients from each category into the recipe. I scented this soap at half my usual rate, I wanted to keep the scent soft so that the specialty ingredients could really shine through. I’m so thrilled with the way this soap turned out, and I couldn’t have done it without your help! I've posted the recipe below; if you try it, please let me know - I’d love to hear about it! Until next time…Happy Soaping =)\nLet's get started!\nHere are the all oils and butters combined. Notice the lovely dark color of the oils when they are mixed all together? I used extra-virgin olive and avocado oils as they are darker in color, and I wanted to impart some of that natural color into the soap. I soaped with room temperature oils, so the only ones that I heated were the solid ones (palm oil, coconut oil, shea butter and mango butter), which I only heated enough to melt.\nI froze the goat milk and almond milk into cubes (I've included the recipe for the almond milk below). After I measured the goat milk and almond milk into the container, I sat it in an ice bath, to keep the milk cool while I’m adding the lye.\nI’ve just sprinkled in a little bit of lye to start. I incorporated the lye very slowly, stirring constantly. It took me about 20 minutes total to incorporate all the lye.\nHere is the milk/lye solution after 5 minutes, I’ve added only about ¼ of the lye at this point. It’s starting to melt the milks, but they are not overheating at all. Slowly keep stirring and adding, stirring and adding!\nThis is 10 minutes after I first started adding the lye, I’ve added about ½ of the lye at this point. I’m not sure what the temperature of the lye solution was at this point, but the container stayed cool to touch the entire time I was incorporating the lye.\nThis is 20 minutes after I started and all of the lye has been incorporated. Here I’m adding sodium lactate, but this is an optional step. I add sodium lactate to my soap to make it harder, which makes it much easier to unmold my soap! I use sodium lactate in both my cold and hot process soaps.\nNext, I poured the milky lye solution through a strainer to remove any congealed fat or sugar from the milk.\nIncorporating the oils and lye solution. I always whisk my soap for the first 2 minutes or so before I start stickblending. It didn’t take me very long to reach thin trace once I started using the stickblender.\nNow that the soap is at a thin trace, I split the batch into 2 portions; a larger portion that I am going to incorporate the honey into, and a smaller portion that I’m going to incorporate the chamomile extract into.\nI decided to lighten up the smaller portion of the soap using white mica, so that I could do a little swirl and have some contrasting color for the top of the soap. Here, I’m adding some super pearly white mica that has been dissolved in a bit of sweet almond oil. Next time, I would add a bit more mica or add a bit of titanium dioxide, as there wasn’t quite enough color contrast.\nI added the honey to the larger portion and chamomile extract to the smaller portion. I diluted the honey in a little bit of distilled water to make it easier to incorporate into the soap. You could certainly use more honey, but would have to be careful about it overheating. I also added fragrance oil to each portion too (I usually add fragrance oil at the very end to try to avoid any acceleration issues).\nHere, I am doing an in-the-pot swirl. It’s really hard to pour soap with one hand and take a picture with the other! I don’t tend to swirl too much at this point, because it will naturally swirl as you pour it into the mold.\nFilling the mold; it’s hard to see in the picture, but there is a really light contrast in the colors, and gravity is helping the swirling process along just fine.\nThis is the way I do my tops right now. It’s hard to explain, but I use the back of a spoon to push back some soap along each side to create ripples.\nNext, I will start to pile up some soap down the centre, but first I have to wait for it to thicken up, it’s too thin yet. If I tried to pile the soap onto itself at this point, it will just spread and not hold a shape.\nThis is just a few minutes later, you can see the soap is starting to thicken up a bit. It’s able to hold a soft shape, but I would like it to be a thicker yet.\nI cheated and stickblended it a tiny bit more to get it to the consistency I like for this step, which is like a thick pudding. Now I can start to mound the soap up down the center.\nFirst, I spoon some soap in a single layer down the centre.

He has studied jewelry-making and has worked for many years as a restorer for antiques and works of art. He has traveled extensively and prefers living outdoors. For the last twenty years he has been living in Greece, dividing his time between his work a restorer and jeweler and living in nature.\nFor most of his life Klaus has been a collector of unique objects and materials. He finds these materials in nature or in flee markets and antique shops. As the materials accumulate they are assembled in groups that will become objects. Each material carries a history that would affect its final use. The claws of an owl, for example, will become part of a big-eyed necklace that would bear its name. Superior craftsmanship and respect for the material, both for what it was in nature and for its quality as material is the basis of Klaus's work.\nThe materials used for the jewelry come from various sources. Rare natural materials like ivory, turtle shell and various types of leather come from old objects found in flee markets and antique shops; ivory can be found in old brushes, drawer handles, mirrors, etc. Other materials can be found in eyeglass cases, cutlery handles and various decorative objects.\nMany materials, such as driftwood, can be found in nature. Another source for animal bones and skin is food remains or even roadkill. These have been, of course, not only thoroughly cleaned but also properly treated to enhance their texture and durability.\nAll of these materials are natural and each piece is unique. Klaus has developed his own techniques for working with these materials economically and using as much of the material as possible. For example, he has developed a technique for bending ivory that allows the creation of curved objects from small straight ivory pieces.\nKlaus's latest work is focused on working with wood and specifically with wood from recycled skateboards. Skateboard decks are made of many layers of plywood. These layers are usually color coded. This type of structure gives many possibilities for their reuse. Depending on how the deck is cut (vertically or diagonally), different color patterns will emerge. To achieve greater strength for the jewelry the deck should be cut in such a way that there will be no small shards that can be cut loose. Klaus has developed a technique for bending straight cuts from a deck to create curved pieces for bracelets and other objects. This technique creates a unique grain but also gives great strength to the objects.\nThe prices of the various objects reflect mostly the work that has been done for each. Some of the objects are relatively simple while others are the results of many months of work. In objects that contain rare or expensive materials the quantity of material affects the price. In most cases the price is not directly related to the size. Smaller object may require greater amounts of work and finer detail.\nObjects made from organic materials are unique and can not be replicated. Each object you see on the site is unique and will not be made again. Objects made from skateboard decks also have unique characteristics but they could be repeated allowing a small variation in shape and, of course, the different grain and texture that will emerge from each deck.\nObject condition and maintenance\nObjects and jewelry made from organic materials may bear the markings of the materials themselves, such as stains on turtle shell or leather. We strongly advice you not to try to remove such markings. You should always be very careful with cleaning these objects, do not use water or chemical detergents. With normal use, the objects will be fine with minimum dusting with a watercolor brush.\nObjects and jewelry made from skateboard decks are more robust and can withstand water. You can wear them at sea or in the shower. With normal use, they will not stain or get dirty and will not need special cleaning.", "domain": "hobby"}

In the more theoretical yoga literature, it is mentioned over and over again. The Principle is simple. When you eat, you should never fill your stomach more than 1/2 full plus 1/4 for liquids equals 3/4 total.\nSequences that really burn calories\n- The Sun Salutation is an excellent way to start. In addition to being a mega calorie burner, it also improves flexibility, coordination, stamina, and mental focus. If you need some help getting started, check out my YouTube video.\n- Another excellent but less known sequence for burning calories is the Rishikesh series. There are 9 Asanas total which are held for a longer period of time, anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes typically. Check out my YouTube video to get started.\nConsider investing in a good mat!\nIt’ll make Yoga more enjoyable and productive.\nYes, a bad mat can actually limit you or to put it positively, challenge you in ways that aren’t even intended…\nLike sliding in common asanas like Adho Mukta Savanasana, or down dog. If GRIP is something you seek, check out my Yoga Mat Challenge Review post here or go directly to my YouTube video:\nYou’re probably familiar with traditional Chinese medicine (TMC) with its explanation of energy centers and pathways. It’s explained pretty much the same in Yoga. Each of us has 7 energy vortexes or centers along the spine. Near the navel is the Manipura Chakra. Asanas (positions) that intentionally place pressure against this Chakra stimulate digestion and in end effect lead to burning more calories.\nI know, I know, it sounds too obvious and a lot of us would just rather have the “Yoga Pill” if there were such a thing. First of all, applaud yourself for even taking the first step. But don’t stop there. Losing weight with Yoga, just like improving your skill level in Yoga, requires consistent practice. From my website, you can also download PDF’s of the Sun Salutation and the Rishikesh series for FREE.\nMeditation is THE goal of Yoga\nI asked my yoga students recently, “What is the ultimate goal of Yoga?” I got a lot of good answers but not THE answer that I was looking for. We practice Yoga to make our bodies strong and resilient so that we can sit for longer periods of time meditating, leading to understanding ourselves, and more and more of the universe. Becoming overweight could have psychological reasons. To fill the void in ourselves, we enjoy our nourishment a little too much. If we just took more time in silent meditation to get to know our true selves, this neediness might diminish. Let me give you a few pointers on getting jump-started.\n- Find a place and time when you won’t be disturbed (no cell phone, telephone or notifications).\n- Find a comfortable seated position that you can remain in for at least 20 minutes.\n- Start off with 20 minutes at least. Under 20 minutes is futile and can’t accomplish much if anything.\n- Pick a meditation that seems suitable to you and practice it every day. Try not to slack off just because it’s the weekend!\n- Stick with one meditation method for a while, at least 2 weeks – 1 month before even considering a new method.\n- You might find it easiest if you’re a beginner to use a CD with guided meditations.\n- Vipassana Meditation Centers are available worldwide and they are FREE (donation appreciated of course).\nI did a 10-day retreat and I would highly recommend it to all that really want to get serious about Meditation.\nhttps://www.dhamma.org/en/about/vipassana is the link\nI would very strongly recommend that you have a practice of your own or at least consistent practice meditating before investing 10 days of your life. Yes, the beginner courses are 10 days long. After that, you are allowed to do 3-day Retreats.\nCelebrate the little victories.\nI hope this has given you some fuel for your fire and the motivation to start on the path. Reward yourself! But not through a false reward system, meaning avoid rewarding yourself with food or inactivity. Don’t overfill your stomach, try out the Sun Salutation and Rishikesh series and practice regularly. And don’t forget what the yogi’s ultimate goal: Meditation. Namaste!", "domain": "hobby"}

While we understand that not everyone may have an Instant Pot on hand, fear not! This recipe can also be prepared using a regular pressure cooker, allowing you to enjoy the delectable flavors and health benefits regardless of your kitchen equipment.\nWe want to make ancient grains approachable and accessible, and through this partnership with Becky Striepe, we are able to share our passion for these remarkable ingredients. Becky’s expertise and creativity have resulted in a flavorful, wholesome, and easy-to-follow recipe that will make your taste buds dance with delight.\nSo, whether you’re a seasoned cook or just starting your culinary journey, this Emmer Pilaf recipe is sure to impress. Stay tuned as we dive deeper into the wonders of Emmer and explore more exciting ways to incorporate ancient grains into your daily meals.\nStart with Healthy Ingredients\nStarting with healthy ingredients is important because it forms the foundation of a nutritious and wholesome meal. By using high-quality, nutrient-dense ingredients like 100% Organic Emmer Berries, fresh vegetables, and flavorful herbs, we can create dishes that not only satisfy our taste buds but also support our overall well-being.\n- Olive oil: Used to toast the Emmer and sauté the vegetables, the olive oil adds a rich and toasty flavor to the dish.\n- Organic Emmer Berries: This ancient grain serves as the base ingredient for our pilaf, providing a hearty and nutritious element to the dish.\n- Vegetable broth: The vegetable broth is used to cook the Emmer, infusing it with savory flavors and ensuring a deliciously moist and flavorful pilaf.\n- Veggies: Vegetables like onion, garlic, carrots, and shiitake mushrooms play a vital role in our pilaf, bringing a medley of flavors and delightful textures.\n- Salt: Used for seasoning, salt helps to enhance the flavors of the vegetables and the overall taste of the pilaf.\n- Fresh parsley: Adding a handful of fresh parsley brings a burst of freshness and herbaceous flavor to the pilaf, elevating its taste profile.\n- Pistachios: These crunchy nuts contribute a delightful texture and a subtle nuttiness to the pilaf.\n- Green onion: Green onion adds a mild onion flavor and a touch of freshness, bringing additional depth to the pilaf.\n- Lemon juice: A small amount of lemon juice is used to add a bright and tangy element to the pilaf, accentuating the flavors of the other ingredients and providing a refreshing finish to the dish.\nCooking Your Emmer Pilaf\nThe first step is to remember to soak the Organic Emmer Berries over night, or plan to do a quick soak. Once the Organic Emmer has been properly soaked, it’s time to begin the cooking process. After draining the soaked Emmer, toast the Emmer in the oil, allowing it to develop a rich, nutty flavor. The toasting step enhances the overall taste of the pilaf. With the Emmer nicely toasted, it’s time to add the vegetable broth to the Instant Pot and cook it at pressure. Cooking the Emmer in broth will infuse it with savory notes as it cooks, resulting in a deliciously moist and flavorful pilaf. Allow the Instant Pot to do its magic, cooking the Emmer to a perfect tender consistency.\nWhile the Organic Emmer is cooking in the Instant Pot you have time to prep and cook the vegetables. After the veggies and Emmer are done, add the cooked Emmer, pistachios, fresh parsley, and green onion to the sautéed vegetables. Toss with lemon juice for added flavor and you are done! You might want to taste your Emmer Pilaf before serving and add salt or more lemon juice if needed.\n- Don’t Forget to Soak the Emmer: Don’t skip this step. It doesn’t take a lot of time to throw the Organic Emmer in water and leave it on the counter. It just takes planning ahead. This step helps to soften the grains and reduce the cooking time.\n- Time-Saving Tip: To streamline the cooking process, start cooking the Emmer in the Instant Pot first. While the Emmer is cooking under pressure, take this time to prep and cook the vegetables separately. This way, you can make the most of your time in the kitchen and ensure that all components of the pilaf come together seamlessly.\n- Adjust Seasoning to Taste: Before serving the Emmer Pilaf, taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

It offers a unique twist on traditional grain dishes and is sure to impress your guests with its wholesome ingredients and delightful flavors.\nEmmer is Also Known as Farro\nIn the world of ancient grains, farro encompasses three ancient wheat species, including Emmer, Einkorn, and Spelt. Each of these grains has its own unique characteristics and culinary applications while sharing a common thread of rich history and nutritional benefits. If someone is referring to a grain as “Farro” they are probably talking about Emmer.\nIf you need to make a substitution for Emmer you can use the other Farro grains (Einkorn and Spelt) in its place, as well as another ancient grain called Khorasan. Each of these grains brings its own distinct flavor and texture, offering a slightly different taste experience. We offer all of these ancient grains for you to purchase right here at Grand Teton Ancient Grains!\nTo learn more about the fascinating world of farro and explore its unique characteristics, you can read our detailed article: What is Farro?\nDoes Emmer Contain Gluten?\nIt is important to note that Organic Emmer contains gluten, which is a protein found in wheat and other related grains. Individuals with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease should exercise caution and opt for gluten-free alternatives when necessary. However, for those who can tolerate gluten, Emmer can be enjoyed as a nutritious and flavorful grain option in various culinary creations.\nOur Instant Pot Emmer Pilaf recipe celebrates the remarkable qualities of this ancient grain, Emmer. With its rich history and distinct nutty flavor, Emmer adds a unique and wholesome element to our culinary creations. We are thrilled to have partnered with Becky Striepe on this recipe, and we look forward to collaborating with her on more delicious creations in the future. If you’re ready to experience the goodness of Emmer for yourself, you can order your Emmer from our small family farm, Grand Teton Ancient Grains. By supporting sustainable farming practices, we ensure that the Emmer you get from us is of the highest quality and always 100% organic. Join us on this culinary journey and discover the wonders of Emmer, a grain that nourishes both body and soul.\nInstant Pot Emmer Pilaf\n- Instant Pot or other pressure cooker\nFor the Emmer\n- 1 tsp Olive Oil\n- 1 Cup Organic Emmer Berries Soaked and drained (overnight soak or quick soak)\n- 2 Cups Vegetable Broth or No-Chicken broth\nFor the Veggies\n- 1 tsp Olive Oil\n- 1 Cup Minced Onion\n- 3 Cloves Minced Garlic\n- 1 Cup Chopped Carrots\n- 8 Oz Sliced Mushrooms We use Shiitake but you can use button, Cremini, or any kind\n- ½ tsp Salt\n- ¼ Cup Minced Fresh Parsley\n- ½ Cup Pistachios Or slivered almonds or pumpkin seeds\n- ¼ Cup Chopped Green Onions\n- 1-2 Tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice\nCook the Emmer\n- Press your pot's Sauté button, and add 1 teaspoon of oil to the pot. When the oil is hot, add the Emmer and cook, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes to toast it. Add the broth, and stir to combine.\n- Lock the lid, and cook at pressure for 20 minutes with a 10-minute natural release. After 10 minutes, release the pressure manually, and open the lid. Drain off any excess liquid, and transfer the Emmer to a mixing bowl or serving bowl.\nCook the veggies while the Emmer cooks\n- Meanwhile, heat the other teaspoon of oil in a frying pan. When the oil is hot, add all of the veggies and sprinkle on the salt. Cook, stirring, until the onion turns translucent, about 7 to 10 minutes. You can add splashes of water to the pan, as needed, if things start sticking.\n- Transfer the veggies to your mixing or serving bowl with the Emmer. If the Emmer isn't ready yet, that's fine. Just add the veggies to the bowl now, and mix in the Emmer when it's ready.\nAssemble the pilaf\n- Stir the parsley, pistachios, green onion, and lemon juice into the Emmer-veggie mixture. Taste and add salt and more lemon juice, if needed.\nPlease let us know how your Instant Pot Emmer Pilaf turned out and share your feedback with us in the comments below.\nIf you love this recipe then you might also want to try these other recipes:\n- Einkorn and Green Bean Salad\n- Einkorn Chicken Noodle Soup\n- Creamy Chicken Lasagna with Einkorn Noodles from Savor the Best\nRemember to share your Ancient Grains creations with us on social media using the hashtag #AncientGrainsRecipes and #GrandTetonAncientGrains.

Elijah resides in London, Canada and is the son of Allan MacGowan from CafeX. During 'take your kids to work day', Elijah was asked to reflect on the importance of cross-platform embedded voice communication to player experiences in Fortnite Battle Royale.]\nThe Fortnite phenomenon\nEven if you are not a gamer, you have probably heard of Fortnite, either on social media or from the endless nagging that goes on in homes to get kids and adults off their screens. This revolutionary pastime created by Epic Games has blown up the video game market, making Fortnite (aka Fortnite Battle Royale) one of the most iconic games of its generation. But what makes Fortnite so unique? Is it the stunning cartoonish graphics and intense gameplay? How about the creative building, funny dances and cool skins? That’s part of the answer, but there is a key ingredient to the game’s success that often gets overlooked - good ol’ voice communication.\nStats experts are not joking about the size of Fortnite’s platform, with over 125 million users since its release last year. A crazier stat is that as many as 8.3 million people are playing at any moment. Thanks to Fortnite, Epic Games is now valued at over $8 billion, with revenues of $300 million in April 2018 alone. That’s more than this year’s Avengers movie made on opening weekend! Fortnite is actually reshaping the way new games are designed. There are online tournaments where millions of people can watch their favourite “professional” players compete. It is also popular on Youtube and Twitch, where pros will play north of 8 hours a day to ‘earn’ a monthly paycheck as high as $500K.\nWhy embedded voice matters\nSo, how has voice chat helped make Fortnite such a big hit, along with other battle royale games like PubG and Call of Duty Black Ops 4? The short answer is that communication allows players to interact naturally, work together effectively and create shared experiences, ultimately leading to what I believe most people want most - friendship.\nTalking live with your friends on Fortnite takes seconds to set up. If they share the same type of console (like XBox), it takes three clicks to invite them to a party. And with cross-platform voice chat, you can connect within the game to any console type almost as easily. My Dad uses words like ‘frictionless’ and “embedded”, which is a weird way of saying that talking is about as easy and natural as if you are playing together in the same room. From Canada on my XBox One, I can play with a PC user in South America, a mobile player in the UK, and a friend in the U.S. who’s on a Nintendo Switch. It’s really that easy to play and communicate with friends regardless of location or platform.\nLike other battle royale games, In Fortnite you are pitted against 99 other players with the goal to be the last one standing, or the last team standing if playing in duos (pairs) or squads (four people). During team play, communication is essential for survival. My friends and I update each other constantly on our opponents’ positioning and tactics in order to mount appropriate defenses in real time. Quick notifications like “I’m being flanked from the north” or “Grab the spare loot behind that structure” are crucial for getting wins. We develop strategies on the fly and share information verbally, much like an audible in a football game or, I imagine, comms during a military offensive.\n60% say voice chat keeps them coming back\nBut beyond how easy and useful it is, group voice chat dramatically enhances the fun factor of Fortnite. I surveyed 30 of my friends who are active Fortnite users about the importance of voice communication. 90% of respondents said it was a very important part of the overall experience, and over 60% said they would very likely not join a game if they couldn’t talk live with friends.\nFrom my perspective, it is so much more fun to experience wins as well as fails together. I have even built a lot of friendships by connecting with people on a personal level. The ability to share shocking, hilarious and tragic moments out loud is such a huge part of the game. “Playground” mode, for example, allows you and up to three friends to do almost anything you want within a private server, whether it is battling, dancing or building massive structures and forts. This fun and creative social environment separates Fortnite from other battle royale games. For those who are bored of gameplay, the social aspect is what keeps them coming back and spending money, even in the unforgiving video game market, where most games are short-lived and easily forgotten.\nStrangers become friends\nFortnite may have already peaked, but its legacy will live on to shape other games and possibly the entire media entertainment industry. Yes, in-game voice chat is nothing new, but when combined with the latest visual and social innovations, the result is highly interactive shared experiences that transform strangers into a community of friends. It’s this level of empowerment and mutual understanding that is the ultimate win for Fortnite fans.\nTo find out more about our and please contact us , we would love to hear from you.", "domain": "hobby"}

Two and a half months will hopefully be enough to see the sun shining on the fortunes of horse racing. The Investec Derby in Epsom Downs is expected to go on as scheduled, and pointers at horse-bettors.com are all the happier for that. A total prize fund of £1,500,000 will be there for the taking.\nThree-year-old colts and fillies are expected to race on Saturday, June 6th, in the richest and most prestigious of the five Classics of British horse racing. The weights are as follows: colts 9st, fillies 8st 11lb. To be eligible for this race, horses must have a current BHA Handicap Rating of 80 or higher at midday of the confirmation stage. Short of that, they may also be eligible if the BHA Handicapper accepts that the horse’s racecourse performances up to and including the day before confirmation can be assessed at 80 or higher. On the other hand, horses who have not run are excluded from the competition.\nEntries were closed on December 4th, with 356 entries. The first scratchings deadline, on March 3rd, left 139 on the list. The second entries will close on April 7th, the second scratchings deadline is May 19th. Then the five-day confirmations & £85,000 supplementary stage on June 1st and the final declarations on June 4th.\nSurrey has cancelled or postponed a series of public events, but it is holding on to the Derby. The inaugural running of the Derby was held on Thursday 4 May 1780, which makes this edition the 241st in a row. Not even two world wars could stop the race, though it had to be run in Newmarket from 1915 to 1918 and from 1940 to 1945. Those races were dubbed the 'New Derby'. Since 2009, the Derby has been sponsored by Investec, an international banking and wealth management group. This is why the race is often referred to as the \"Investec Derby\". The previous sponsors were Eveready and Vodafone.\nInvestec is planning to celebrate its twelfth year of sponsorship with a two-day Out of the Ordinary Derby Festival, \"forged from passion, energy and stamina\". There will be a Lady's day on June 5th, Friday, with \"exhilarating racing, open only to fillies, alongside glamour, high fashion and sumptuous hospitality\". Derby Day is the main course, on Saturday 6th . The world’s greatest flat race is run over a mile and a half and puts the thoroughbred to the test. Speed, stamina and good balance are needed to negotiate the undulating terrain and left-hand camber.\nPay attention to the dress code, because the Derby is also a top social event and fashion is a main protagonist. The Queen's stand has higher formal requirements, with top hats and morning dress for the gentlemen, more formal morning dresses or trousers suits and hats or fascinators for the ladies. For the Duchess Stand, gentlemen must still wear a jacket, collar and tie, but they can dispense of the hat. Ladies can go barehead, but they never miss the chance to show off a stylish headpiece. Denim, spotswear and trainers, on the other hand, have no citizenship in Derby land.", "domain": "hobby"}

Click here\nto read about my first foray into this format. Vintage Rotisserie is not going to be fun unless you've been playing Magic for a long time, but if you have been then it's pretty awesome. I wound up going 6-1 and I've already clinched first place with a tutor-iffic black combo deck that might be one of the best decks you can realistically hope to draft in the format.\nHere's a link to the draft\n. Most of us had done at least 1 of these before and I thought the quality of the draft and the decks was a lot higher this time. I did a fair amount of thinking after my first attempt and I knew I did not want to try to draft one of the \"type 1\" decks, as you just can't get enough of the broken cards to make something like Storm or Stax work consistently. My goal was to get into an archetype where no one was competing with me for cards and where the card pool had enough redundancy and flexibility that I could react to what other people were drafting. Part of me wanted to draft an aggro creature deck, and I was toying with the idea of first-picking Skullclamp as a signal for folks to get out of my way, but a) I strongly suspected that the pendulum had swung and a bunch of folks would want creature decks and b) I was having a lot of fun thinking about Reanimator. The more I thought about potential archetypes the more it seemed like artifact decks would be plagued with inconsistency, blue decks would be plagued with competition for cards, and I either wanted a beatdown archetype all to myself or I wanted Reanimator.\nOnce I drew up a Reanimator template and saw how well the card pool lined up with it, I was pretty sure that's want I wanted to draft. As long as no one else went heavy black, I could spend the early rounds grabbing my share of fast mana, tutors, and broken cards. Then it should be easy to grab 5-10 fatties, 6-8 reanimation spells, 4-6 ways to get fatties into my graveyard, 6ish utility/disruption cards, and I'd still have room for a 4 card back-up plan. I went into the draft with a list of cards in each of those categories that no one else would want and I figured I would either splash blue or green. The blue plan was contingent on how the first few rounds of the draft went. In theory I figured I could grab assorted power, extra tutors, and if things went really well I hoped I might be able to take the Time Vault/Voltaic Key combo (and Tezzeret), which I knew would be awesome with all the tutors I intended to draft. (In retrospect I don't think there's enough room in the early rounds to establish yourself as a black mage and also grab those cards so I'm glad I wound up not trying.) The green plan was to take Survival of the Fittest and Fauna Shaman as two of my ways to get stuff into the graveyard. I could then use green mana acceleration critters too, and both Living Death and Recurring Nightmare would be much better as reanimation spells. This was the way I was hoping things would play out, but it required Survival to last until about round 10 plus it wanted there to be no competition for green mana creatures. Anyway, I also had \"audible into Ernha-Geddon (a la Pikula)\" and \"audible into CMU Blue\" as back-ups plans, but Reanimator was definitely my focus as the draft began.\nEveryone in the room seemed to agree that the best 3 cards are Black Lotus, Sol Ring, and Ancestral Recall in some order. The good news about an early pick is that you get one of those cards. The bad news is that you have basically no ability to stake out an archetype or send a signal. You just take the one of those 3 that fits your preferred archetype and then hope things work out. Mostly you have to wait until the second round and see what has happened before you get to interact with the draft.\nZac Hill took the Lotus first and seemed to be toying with storm combo for a couple of rounds. However (as he and I discussed later) if you take the draw-7's with your early picks then you won't have any fast mana or any other broken cards. First he wheeled Strip Mine and Dark Confidant (the one good black card I did *not* want\n) and then he wheeled Chrome Mox and Mox Diamond. If everyone shied away and the various draw-7's slipped into the round 6+ range, I think he would have moved in and tried it. However, the Timetwister went two picks later and the Time Spiral went right before his 6th round pick so instead Zac decided to go heavy black disruption. He wheeled Duress and Thoughtseize, which were cards I very much wanted, but it would have been thoroughly unrealistic to imagine myself as the only black mage, so fair enough. He wound up with the efficient aggro creature and disruption side of black so after fighting over the disruption we weren't competing for too much else.\nDave Guskin took the Ancestral second overall. He then took Library of Alexandria and Mana Drain in the late 2nd and early 3rd. I liked this plan a lot as I think you can draft a really nice mono-blue control deck in the format even while competing for cards. There have obviously been a ton of counterspells printed over the years and there's enough control magic's and artifact removal spells that you can draft something that templates pretty closely to the Draw-Go style decks that were so good in the late 90's. (Also, Zac almost won our previous draft with a deck along these lines.) Dave was looking good with Force of Will in the 4th and then it's hard to blame him for grabbing Tinker in the 5th round, but he had no artifacts and all the really good ones were gone already so that might actually have been a mistake. He then seemed to get distracted a bit by shiny baubles like Time Spiral, Mind's Desire, and Memory Jar (admittedly a juicy Tinker target but only really great if you have the right deck around it). From there Dave wound up going aggro-control with assorted Faeires, Psychatag, Shadowmage Infiltrator, a really late Thada Adel, etc. Maybe I'm just biased by my fond memories of CMU Blue, but that's definitely what I would have done in Dave's seat.\nMike Turian (who was playing the format for the first time) took the obvious 3rd pick Sol Ring. He'd mentioned to me that he was tempted by White Weenie so I'm sure he was disappointed that the Mox Pearl went right before his second round pick. He took Mishra's Workshop, which made a ton of sense to me at the time. It's incredibly explosive and the fact that he's getting it 14th overall indicates that no one else is trying to run a heavy-artifact strategy. He then got Tolarian Academy in the 3rd round and Mana Crypt in the 4th, which have to be exactly what you're hoping will slide into those rounds if you're headed this way. He wound up with some blue cards and then when Balance became too tempting to ignore in round 16 he added white. Overall his deck had some big artifact dudes to attack with and some artifact control elements and some white control elements as well. As I write this he's 2-4 with one match left to play, which is obviously a bit of a surprising record for a Hall of Famer. I'm still trying to figure out how much of that is unfamiliarity with the format (it definitely takes some getting used to both the draft and the play of the games, and I know he lost multiple really close 3-game matches) and how much is the inherent inconsistency of the artifact archetype. When he draws the Workshop his deck is amazing, and he demolished me in two straight games where he had access to 5 mana on turn 1 both times, but I think this archetype needs to be drafted in such a way that it can win without a lot of early mana acceleration (not that I have a good idea how to actually do that).\nAaron Forsythe drafted 4th and he sent the first pick Skullclamp signal. He then took the last Mox (the Pearl) in round 2 and Enlightened Tutor then made a lot of sense in round 3. Fastbond-Wasteland-Crucible of Worlds gave him some pretty scary potential, and his 10th pick Survival of the Fittest ended my dreams of splashing green. Interestingly, Fauna Shaman then went two picks later to the other green mage and neither one of them was in a position to do anything exciting with them, After that Aaron settled down into an Elves archetype that he didn't seem super happy with at the end of the day. It was a bit schiziophrenic - wanting to be both a beatdown deck and a combo deck and not being able to do either plan well enough to win consistently (he's currently 3-2). I know Dave had also sketched out an Elves archetype before the draft, and it does seem like that deck wants a lot of cards that no one else wants, so it's probably still a viable archetype. The trick is probably to figure out what other packages of cards have good synergy with it.\nI drafted 5th and my first big decision might have been the most important: Mox Sapphire or Mox Jet? The Sapphire is the better card (as blue has better cards than black and blue also benefits more from getting an extra early mana), but I knew everyone would know that so taking the Jet over the Sapphire would send a powerful signal and hopefully the folks downstream of me would stay away from black. In retrospect this worked out spectacularly well. The draft wound up with only one other person playing a meaningful amount of black (plus Guskin splashed in some gold cards and the Bitterblossom). In round 2 I took Mox Emerald, both because I wanted more fast mana and because I still had \"splash green\" as my plan A. (This turned out to tip over a bunch of dominos as Forsythe wanted the Emerald but settled for the Pearl and Turian wanted the Pearl but instead went Workshop, not that I saw any of that coming when I made the pick.) With the fast mana gone by round 3 I set about solidifying myself as the black mage: Demonic Tutor, Yawgmoth's Will, Vampiric Tutor, Mind Twist, Dark Ritual, Necropotence. The Will isn't great in Reanimator, but it's still a card I was happy to have and mostly I didn't want to leave it on the board as something that would tempt someone else into black. Necro is somewhat similar in that it's less powerful than you think, since you can't access it reliably enough to build a \"necro deck,\" but it's still plenty good enough to play, especially at the low price of an 8th round pick. (It would have been a lot better in Zac's deck, fwiw, but he would have had to take it on that first wheel where he declared black and let me have Duress or Thoughtseize instead.)\nThis was about when the Survival and Fauna Shaman went. I had already been leaning away from the green splash anyway since there were multiple green drafters plus so little competition for black that mono-black began to seem viable. The blue drafters were already taking stuff like Thirst for Knowledge so the pickings looked slim there as well. I took Painter's Servant, figuring i could let the Grindstone slide for a while and that 2 card combo would fit my deck really well, especially after I spent my next few rounds scooping up the rest of the decent tutors (Imperial Seal and Grim Tutor). I publicly declared my intention to draft reanimator with a 12th round Buried Alive and the rest was easy. The most interesting things that happened late were that I had to draft what I feared were embarrassingly bad discard outlets, but Putrid Imp and Sickening Dreams both turned out to be great. Last Rites also seemed good enough. Meanwhile while randomly looking over the cards on the table I stumbled across Dark Depths and suddenly remembered that the Vampire Hexmage combo not only exists, but would be absolutely perfect for my deck. I'll give you my decklist once I finish talking through the draft.\nGreg Marques took Time Walk 6th overall and got a bit of a gift when the Sapphire was still there at #11 overall. He took Mana Vault and Jace with his next two and wound up adding green to his deck relatively quickly because he knew he wanted to play with Trygon Predator. The resulting brew had some really exciting moments, including Channeling out Emrakul three different times.\nDwayne St. Arnauld took Time Vault 7th, ending my delusions on that front pretty early. He then locked up the combo by taking Voltaic Key at #10 overall (and Tezzeret with his next pick). There's been a lot of debate in our group about when to take the Key. Last draft Aaron took Time Vault first but tried to float the Key and I took it in round 5 to pair with my Grim Monolith et al. I actually wonder if you took the Key first, would anyone else even want the Time Vault? In any case, you probably don't have to take the Key in the second round, but I think you have to take it by round 4 or you risk losing it to the artifact-heavy deck. I like the way Dwayne's deck turned out a lot. He's got decent control elements, a bunch of artifact tutors, and he's got the High Tide pieces in there too. He only had time to play 4 matches before he left, but he won 3 of them (losing the third to me). Everyone other than he and I has at least 2 losses already.\nMons Johnson had the wheel and to the surprise of absolutely no one, he signaled Goblins by taking the Ruby and the Wheel. From there he was essentially drafting by himself (with the exception of a few removal spells). The 8-9 wheel seems like the obvious place for this to happen and that's how each of our two drafts has gone.\nHere's the current standings (we got through about 70% of the matches before breaking up around 9pm):\nAnd here's how my deck turned out:\nReanimation spells (6): Animate Dead, Dance of the Dead, Necromancy, Life/Death, Exhume, Living Death.\nZac grabbed my Reanimate (and I think ran it main to reanimate anything juicy that he knocked out of opponent hands), which was annoying, but 6 was all I needed anyway and I had a 7th (Dread return) in my sideboard. Note that the first three were my highest priority since they allow for the Worldgorger Dragon combo.\nTutors (5): Demonic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor, Imperial Seal, Grim Tutor, Beseech the Queen.\nI also drafted Insidious Dreams and Diabolic Tutor, but decided they were both too slow to run. The biggest revelation to me about my deck from playing it was how amazingly powerful it was to be able to tutor up whatever I needed to fix any given hand, so maybe those actually belonged in the deck. Demonic Consultation was tempting as Consulting for 1-of's is better than most people think, but it's still obviously risky so I decided against.\nWays to get stuff into the graveyard (6): Entomb, Buried Alive, Putrid Imp, Sickening Dreams, Last Rites, Bazaar of Bagdad\nI also drafted Cabal Therapy since you can target yourself, but then quickly realized how hard it would be to hit an opponent with it so decided against. I really wish I had gotten Thoughtseize since it too can target you. There were several games where i was on the draw and just declined to play any cards so I could discard a fatty. In retrospect, I actually think I was supposed to be choosing draw in order to set this up. I had at least 3 hands that I had to mulligan which would have been great if I was drawing first and could discard a fatty on turn 1.\nFatties (7): Grave Titan, Platinum Angel, Oona Queen of the Fae, Worldgorger Dragon, Stormtide Leviathan, Terastrodon, Iona\ni also drafted Bogardan Hellkite, Angel of Despair, Sphinx of the Steel Wind, Akroma, It That Betrays, and Emperor Laquatus. It was a lot of fun to just keep drafting all the best fatties of all time, and drafting this many also made sideboarding fun as I got to think about which fatties were the best against each individual opponent. Each of them made it into the deck at some point with the exception of Laquatus, which was just a draft error. (I needed somebody that I could sink infinite mana into when I pulled off the Worldgorger combo and hadn't thought of Oona until someone pointed out her existence after I drafted Laquatus. Oona is both a) hard-castable in my deck and also b) exiles the cards thus beating anyone running reshuffle effects (like the one on Emrakul). I'm really not sure if 6, 7, or 8 was the right number to have in the deck and I had games where I had too many and games where I had too few so i was probably about right. Grave Titan did win one game by getting hard cast. Iona is obviously the best one to reanimate alone. Worldgorger got me at least two instant-win's so I do think it's worth having (though note that it does need help ... you have to either have an instant speed kill with your infinite mana or be able to switch to Oona as your [Animate Dead] target to break the loop and then kill them with infinite mana).\nDisruption/Utility (5): Mind Twist, Yawgmoth's Will, Necropotence, Damnation, Nevinyrral's Disk\nI probably should have run Darkblast main (I think I could have turned a game loss into a win if it was available to Entomb for (versus Mesmeric Fiend and other weenies). I never actually cast the Disk, but the Damnation was excellent. I had more creature removal and more discard in my graveyard, and would tailor these slots based on my opponent. I also took some hosers relatively early in the draft since I knew a) i was competing for them (unlike my main deck cards) and b) I knew I could access them with tutors. Engineered Plague was the first of these, then Pithing Needle, Null Rod, and Infernal Darkness.\n\"Back-Up Plans\" (4): Vampire Hexmage, Dark Depths, Grindstone, Painter's Servant\nThe way my deck actually played it was like I had three different combos (these two plus Fatty-Reanimate) and I would just shuffle up my opening hand and figure out which one I was playing for in this particular game. Hexmage-Dark Depths is so ridiculously mana efficient that it usually became plan A if I drew either half plus a tutor.\nMana Acceleration (3): Lotus Petal, Lion's Eye Diamond, Dark Ritual\nThe Lion's Eye was a mistake as it's too narrow. It's good with Yawgmoth's Will and it's ok to sac as a response to a tutor, but that's about it. I kind of which there was more fast mana available to me in black, but it just doesn't exist.\nLand (24): Mox Jet, Mox Emerald, Cabal Coffers, Urborg Tomb of Yawgmoth, Swamp x 20\nMy deck was much faster than I anticipated and I think Coffers was actually a mistake. Meanwhile Urborg was particularly useful in draws that included Dark Depths or Bazaar of Bagdad as those two lands are *much* better if they also tap for mana. The other hidden advantage of my deck is those 20 basic swamps. We did a 65 round draft and gave folks as much basic land as they wanted. If you spent a lot of your draft picks on lands then you didn't have nearly as many picks to spend on sideboard cards. 20 swamps means I had a 25 card sideboard and I was usually swapping in 5ish cards per match. I'm not sure I took full advantage of this opportunity, but it's worth noting as an advantage to going mono-color in the format.\nRd. 1 I played against Mons and his goblin raiders. (Yes, he's that Mons.) Both games were fairly lopsided. In game 1 I chose to play for turn 4 Damnation instead of turn 4 fatty (in case he had enough burn to kill my fatty) and that took all the steam out of his attack. Stormtide Leviathan came out a turn later while I was still on 14 life and then Platinum Angel started attacking alongside the big fish. In game 2 he double mulliganned, but I think I was in great shape even against a good draw. My hand included both Sphinx of the Steel Wind and two reanimation spells so I used my Imperial Seal to go get Sickening Dreams. It allowed me to both wipe out his first two goblins and also put the Sphinx in the bin so I could animate her on turn 3. I promptly drew into an Entomb and Akroma was also in play by turn 5.\nRound 2 was against Dwayne. I got to go first in game 2 and I had Putrid Imp, Stormtide Leviathan, and Life/Death in my opening draw. His turn 2 play was Isochron Scepter imprinting Memory Lapse, but with an 8/8 already in play on my side it was a little bit late. In game 2 he apparently had his Time Vault combo ready to deploy on turn 4, but we didn't get there. He tapped out for Preordain and then Time Vault on his third turn against my board of Swamp, Bazaar of Bagdad, and nothing else (with Vampiric Tutor as the only card in my graveyard). I informed him that he was dead, as I had the Worldgorger in my hand along with a Swamp and the Animate Dead that I had tutor'ed up. With Bazaar in play I was sure to find the Oona as some point in the cycle so that was game.\nMy third opponent was Dave and my deck was way too fast for him. Both games involved 20/20 indestructible creatures coming into play on my side really quickly, including a draw where I just drew both pieces (no tutors necessary) and also drew Mox Jet so I could deploy the entire combo by turn 2. He had dreams of breaking stuff up with venser, but things just happened too quickly and venser never got online.\nAfter Dave came Zac. I took two mulligans before game 1 and he grabbed my Grim Tutor with Mesmeric Fiend, but I still almost won this game. This is where i wished I had Darkblast in my deck to Entomb for, especially when I followed up Entomb by top-decking Buried Alive. I then drew into a Damnation but he had Hymn to Tourach to knock the tutor out of my hand before I could untap. Any top-decked reanimation spell would still have been good enough, but none showed up.\nGame 2 was a tough one. He had a nice draw with some aggression and I was tight on mana thanks to his Strip Mine when the following decision came up: I have Darkblast in the graveyard (but no fatties). My hand includes Grave Titan, Last Rites, and Life/Death. If I top-deck a third land (or a Mox) I can Last Rites him, discarding a fatty to reanimate on the next turn and knocking any answers he might have out of his hand. However, if I dredge back my Darkblast and hit a fatty then I get to animate something right now. So I get one draw at 20ish mana cards or I can flip 3 cards hoping for one of 7 fatties. I think I was right to decline dredge and hope to draw mana, but when Akroma turned out to be my top card it definitely stung a little. She's a completely blank draw, but would have been the best fatty in my deck to reanimate against him. Things went from bad to worse when he played out Leyline of the Void on his next turn, essentially turning off my reanimation engine forever (since I had sided out my Disk). I did finally draw a third land but had no action until I drew Demonic Tutor. I figured out that my only chance to win was to tutor for Dark Ritual, hope I drew swamp #4 on the following turn, and this would allow me to hard-cast the Grave Titan that was the only thing of value left in my hand. It worked! I drew the land that time and with the Titan in play along with enough zombies to block and trade with his attackers, he was drawing very slim and I mopped up a few turns later.\nGame 3 was another nice one. He kept Swamp, Lotus, Hymn, and Withered Wretch with no other lands, which seems entirely correct to keep. I felt good when he Hymned Iona and Worldgorger Dragon out of my hand, seemingly doing me a favor, but he then played out the Withered Wretch. I had Sickening Dreams in hand so in theory I could kill the Wretch, but after having been Hymned there weren't many cards left to pitch. I decided to play the game for one of my other combos and save my cards (one of which was a Grim Tutor). I don't remember which combo ended up killing him, but he took quite a while to draw land #2 so I was under very little pressure.\nAgainst Aaron I killed his turn 1 creature with turn 2 Sickening Dreams and then reanimated something saucy on turn 3. In game 2 I skipped my first turn in order to discard a fatty only to have him tutor for Tormod's Crypt. I had my Pithing Needle so he blew his Crypt when I played Needle (i randomly named Skullclamp). Luckily I drew into another discard outlet and had a fatty in play via the graveyard by turn 4 despite his Crypt. He did win two of the fun games. One was because i was a chicken and didn't go all-in on Terastrodon. (If I had turned all of my own land into 3/3's then I would have won, but instead he played Imperious Perfect and suddenly my 9/9 ground pounder wasn't so exciting.) The other fun game involved him getting Squirrel Nest / Earthcraft at the same time I got Dark Depths / Hexmage. I was going to fly over an infinite number of summoning sick squirrels for the win, but he top-deck Reveillark (or maybe it was the land for Reveillark) and suddenly had a chump blocker that could also tap (after blocking) to start the avalanche of squirrels.\nI took game 1 from Greg with a super-quick Marit Lage token and he responded by taking game 2 in spectacular fashion, before I even played my first permanent. He went turn 1 mana vault (off a forest). I skipped my turn 1 so i could discard a fatty (with a reanimation spell in hand). He went turn 2 Flood Grove into Bribery ... for Iona ... naming black, of course. I didn't have enough turns available to play out a Disk even if it was on top of my library, so I scooped. In game 3 Iona decided to play for my team. He's two color, but all his answers to a giant flier were blue so that pretty much iced it.\nAgainst Turian I mulliganned and he played Mishra's Workshop, Sol Ring, and Smokestack on his first turn. I was able to respond with a turn 2 Last Rites (thanks to a Mox), discarding two and setting up whatever reanimation spell I was hoping would come off the top of my deck. He showed me Su Chi, Wurmcoil Engine, Juggernaut, Land, Island, and Aether Spellbomb. It was at this point that I looked into the standings and verified that, yes, I had already clinched first place even if I lost this match.\nHe said he was in love with his draw even before he top-decked the Workshop on turn 1. His game 2 draw may have been even better: Mana Crypt, Zuran Orb, and Mox Opal let him Thirst for Knowledge and set up turn 2 Processor (for 7) *and* Balance, saccing both his lands to Zuran Orb so I would be down to 2 cards and no permanents while he had access to four mana and a Processor. Totally sick draw!\nThere you go — probably more detail than any of you wanted, but I continue to find this format fun to think and talk about. After my first experience I thought the format might actually be about fair decks, but the deck I drafted this time was definitely not playing fair. It's been a while since I got to feel like I broke a format, but that's how I felt yesterday. We're probably running it again next Saturday. Time to try to break it again!", "domain": "hobby"}

In 1972 she worked as an apprentice to Helen Laycock for three months in Helen's pottery studio at Dunmoochin in the hills outside Melbourne.\nIn 1973 Sally joined a gallery and craft centre located at the Boree Carbonne homestead in the Central West of New South Wales, where she tested local clays, made pots and taught interested residents the basics of pottery making. After fifteen months, Sally held her first solo exhibition in the Boree Cabonne Gallery. It was a sell-out.\nIn 1976 Sally married a farmer and gave up potting to raise a family, help on the farm and manage the farm's bookwork. Sally decided in 2007 it was time to return to her potting career. She built her unique ‘straw bale’ studio on her farm in Millthorpe, NSW and started potting once again.\n“It surprised me how long it took to get started again. You have so many dreams of what you want to do, but putting them into practice is another thing altogether. Attending summer schools at Sturt, Mittagong (where I first started as a potter) helped. I wanted to work exclusively in Southern Ice Porcelain, which demands a high degree of self-discipline. I especially wanted to make functional domestic ware and develop a blue celadon glaze to enhance it, as I am captivated by its beauty.”\nIn 2009, during the Gulgong Clay Festival, one of the Chinese guest master potters purchased an espresso coffee cup and saucer of Sally's to put into his international ceramic museum in Jingdezhen, China. This was a significant compliment to Sally's talent with the Chinese tradition of Celadon glazing.\nIn 2010 famous Sydney Restauranteur Tony Bilson commissioned Sally to make a range of celadon glazed porcelain plates and casseroles for his restaurant, Bilson's. Sally's tableware was extremely popular and successful. When Sally delivered her last batch of tableware to Tony Bilson’s restaurant she asked him if he was pleased with them, he replied \"love them Sally, they have lifted the restaurant.”\nShe has since continued to develop her skills in, and love of, blue celadon ware. In recent times, the Orange and Bathurst Regional Art Galleries have organised bus groups to tour Sally's studio.\nSally is always striving to make functional domestic ware that is “easy on the eye, works well and is a pleasure to hold.”", "domain": "hobby"}

Western Red Cedar was chosen for the cladding mainly for its aesthetics but also for its durability. Due to its natural dimensional stability, Western Red Cedar copes well in moisture rich environments, which means the timber is much less likely to twist or warp, ideal for the wet British weather.\nAs Western Red Cedar is so lightweight it makes the perfect material for DIY projects, especially when cutting boards to size and moving them into place.\nThe timber was very easy to work with and this particular project didn’t require any extraordinary carpentry skills. I used the installation guide on the website to brush up on the task ahead, and it all went as smoothly as I could have hoped.\nNick chose to finish the cladding with Sansin Wood Sealer rather than a coloured stain to retain the natural colour variations, whilst providing additional protection to the timber. Wood Sealer protects the wood from moisture whilst allowing it to weather to a consistent silver grey.\nThe building has created a very nice feature in our garden. It blends well with the surroundings, but also stands out just enough to give a wow factor. Up close this building looks high quality and the Western Red Cedar is to thank for that.", "domain": "hobby"}

In a unique tropical fjordland setting, Tufi has diving, birding, village guesthouses, walks, cultural activities and birding to keep everyone entertained.\nThe clear, calm and protected waters of the tropical fjords are perfect for macro and muck diving, such as the popular House Reef, which is only three minutes walk from the resort.\nThe nearest open water reef is just 15 minutes by boat. This diving paradise has over 40 major dive sites in the nearby tropical waters of the Solomon Sea, with many uncharted reefs waiting to be explored.\nThe stunning marine biodiversity makes this a unique reef system. Coral outcrops are so abundant with fish, that the saying “more fish than water” is a common phrase. Pelagic schools of tuna, Spanish mackerel, barracuda, white tip and black tip reef sharks, hammerheads and the rare white hammerheads, inhabit these exotic waters. Turtles, manta rays and eagle rays are also seen cruising by.\nTufi offers a wide variety of diving experiences. From diving the fiords to unchartered reefs and WW2 wrecks. Constant visibility of 30 metres plus and water temperatures of 26°C to 29°C all year round.\nDive the fjords, experience the unique macro world and check out the WW2 PT boat wrecks. Day or night, a wide variety of gobies, nudibranchs, mandarinfish, ghost pipefish, pygmy seahorses and a plethora of other fascinating creatures can be found. A wonderful array of sponge and shelf corals that line the walls of the tropical rainforest fjord, a truly different dive environment.\nThe outer reef experience is unsurpassed with a choice of dozens of world-class dive sites. Moor onto a few of our favourites, Cyclone Cay, Black Rocks, Stewarts Reef and Shark Tip.\nClick here for more on the reefs.\nClick here to read an article about Tufi diving\nDive the famous Dutch cargo ship the “S Jacob” or Blackjack – an intact B17 bomber – as specialty charter dives. Spectacular marine life in abundance: schooling barracuda and reef fish, hammerheads, reef sharks, manta rays, eagle rays, grouper and cruising palegic as well as soft and hard corals.\nClick here for more on Tufi’s wrecks\nThe fjords are excellent for macro diving with gobies, nudibranch, shrimps and clams. These animals can be seen by diving, but conditions are also ideal for snorkelling.\nBecause there is very little current movement in the fjords, many sponges and coral species grow prolifically and there are some very large sponges and shelf corals that are not common on the outer reefs.\nPapua New Guinea is the land of a million different journeys. Tufi explores many of these journeys and allows you to uncover culture and traditional ways that one thinks do not exist anymore. Tufi is a great location to combine with other cultural festivals taking part in the country to give you a mix of the different provinces and their cultural differences. Tufi’s cultural festival will enlighten you into the traditional Oro ways of food gathering and hunting, village life, spiritual beliefs and will introduce you to their language \"Karafe\".\nDaily life for local villagers includes building their traditional homes and canoes from sago palms, traditional gardening and fishing and processing their food, making ropes for hunting pigs, fishing nets and processing various trees for tapa cloth, a traditional fabric.\nThere are different ways for guests to experience this culture first hand, from half-day cultural tours to village stays, either staying in one village for a night or several nights (the choice is yours), or taking a boat up the fjord and walking a few hours to villages further inland every day, staying in a different village every night. Alternatively, embark on an outrigger safari around the coast, spending two to three hours on the water snorkelling at your leisure, and then discovering a different culture every day. You can try your hand at traditional line fishing or lobster catching. Again, the choice of duration is yours - outrigger trips can be made from two to six days.\nClick here for a sample itinerary", "domain": "hobby"}

The beauty of art lies in its ability to evoke emotions, provoke thoughts, and create a lasting impact. As the world continues to evolve, the question arises: Why should we buy art? In this blog, we delve into the captivating reasons behind investing in art and explore the myriad of benefits it brings to our lives.\n- Aesthetics and Visual Delight: One of the primary reasons people buy art is for the sheer joy of experiencing its aesthetic beauty. Artworks, whether paintings, sculptures, or mixed media, possess the power to transform any space into a haven of creativity and inspiration. The unique brushstrokes, textures, colors, and forms in a piece of art can evoke emotions and create a visually enchanting atmosphere that stimulates the senses.\n- Expressing Individuality and Personal Taste: Art enables individuals to express their individuality and personal taste. By carefully selecting art pieces that resonate with their unique sensibilities, collectors can curate a collection that reflects their personality, values, and interests. Each artwork becomes a statement piece that communicates something profound about the collector's identity and provides a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction.\n- Investment and Financial Potential: Beyond its intrinsic value, art has emerged as a promising investment opportunity. The art market has experienced significant growth, with artworks fetching impressive prices at auctions and galleries. Collecting art can be a financially rewarding venture, with the potential for appreciation over time. While investing in art requires research, guidance, and a long-term perspective, it can offer a tangible and enjoyable alternative to traditional investment avenues.\n- Cultural Appreciation and Historical Significance: Art serves as a window into the past, allowing us to appreciate different cultures, historical periods, and artistic movements. By acquiring art, individuals contribute to the preservation and celebration of artistic heritage. Owning artworks from renowned artists or specific eras can be an enriching educational experience, fostering a deeper understanding of our collective history and the evolution of artistic expression.\n- Emotional Connection and Inspiration: Art has a remarkable ability to stir emotions, provoke thoughts, and inspire introspection. Whether it's the tranquility conveyed by a serene landscape, the intensity of an abstract composition, or the narrative depicted in a figurative piece, art has a way of connecting with us on a profound level. A well-chosen artwork can become a source of inspiration, contemplation, and solace, enhancing our daily lives and providing a refuge from the hectic pace of the modern world.\n- Supporting Artists and Artistic Expression: Purchasing art directly supports artists, providing them with the means to continue creating and sharing their unique visions. By investing in art, individuals contribute to the growth and sustainability of the artistic community, enabling artists to pursue their passions and make a livelihood from their craft. Moreover, supporting emerging artists can be an immensely gratifying experience, as collectors witness and participate in the blossoming of new talents.\nConclusion: The decision to buy art is a deeply personal one, driven by a multitude of reasons and motivations. Whether it's the visual delight, the desire for self-expression, the potential financial gains, the appreciation of cultural heritage, the emotional connection, or the support for artists, art enriches our lives in numerous ways. By welcoming art into our spaces and our hearts, we open ourselves to a world of creativity, inspiration, and beauty that transcends time and leaves an indelible mark on our souls.", "domain": "hobby"}

COVID-19 has dominated news and social media over the past month, though it’s been a major infection since December. The United States has just recently begun to feel the ramifications, and with the University of Florida turned all classes online. Understandably, many students are unfamiliar with this social distancing environment. The team has also been struggling in this area: we’ve been searching for activities to stay productive while stuck inside. Below are the team’s recommendations for activities to do inside!\nBlogging can be a great opportunity to improve writing skills, show the personal side fo your life and connect with like-minded individuals. Bismarie is a dedicated blogger and has found comfort and joy in reorganizing and writing for My Bissy Life. She talks about her life as a student, traveler and professional. Most recently, she has traveled to Australia and often gushes about the wildlife, food and culture.\nNow is the time to relax, according to Bismarie. Though life carries on, working from home can allow times of rest and rejuvenation. One way Bismarie does this is by watching Netflix. Binging a good series is a great way to take your mind off of trouble. Here are some titles she recommends: That 70s Show, Young and Hungry, The Good Place, Grace & Frankie, Love, and Arrested Development.\nAs a writer, Bismarie also loves reading a variety of books. “There’s so many books I’ve bought but haven’t had the time to read. This is my moment to enjoy them all.”\nThough life carries on and classes still require work to be done, Alejandro says he has found more time to enjoy Playstation games - something that was lost previously due to his busy schedule. “I’ve got several games I need to finish and others I need to start. They’ve been on a shelf forever, and I’m just now getting to them.”\nAlongside videogames, Alejandro has been making the most of his monthly Netflix fee. Watching shows such as Lucifer, Stranger Things and the Witcher, Alejandro is getting caught up on the latest talk. He says he happy to no longer dodge spoilers and miss out on memes due to a lack of constant viewing.\nThough Alejandro says he is enjoying his free time, life carries on and clients need public relations now more than ever. Working over the phone and Skype, Alejandro is able to communicate with clients and address concerns of the brewing pandemic crisis.\nKeep the brain running with a good challenge! Michael loves to solve puzzles and a calming and thoughtful way to stay isolated. Keeping him entertained for hours on end, there’s nothing more satisfying than seeing the final results come to life.\nNow, Michael never claimed to be the best dancer, but all this extra time has given him the availability to practice. With hundreds of tutorial videos on YouTube, he’s on his way to mastering tango and salsa, with an interest in hip hop next.\nStaying inside for days on end can be a struggle, especially for those with typically healthy lifestyles. Michael finds that the occasional walk or bike ride does wonders to rejuvenate his mind and get him energized to complete tasks throughout the day.\nNicole has always enjoyed theatre and dance, in fact, she works with the Dancing Gators! This time home has allowed her to practice her skills and grow as a performer. She likes to put on a playlist while she finishes work and cleans her apartment.\nSocial distancing doesn’t mean you have to be alone. Nicole and her friends like to get on Skype and play games or watch movies. You can find apps and website that will sharescreens, like Zoom, where you and your friends can enjoy activities together!\nRichard is a dedicated bookworm, though he has been slacking in recent months due to classwork. He says he now has the chance to enjoy his favorite reading location, Lake Alice, and finish the books collecting dust on his shelf.\nBoard games have also been Richard’s way of coping with the pandemic. He and his roommates have enjoyed nights of Monopoly, Catan and various card games. He’s also learned he has a terrible poker face.\nDrawing is not an expertise of Brian’s but it is a skill he’s looking to improve on. Before the quarantine, he bought pencils to practice with and researched some YouTube tutorials. We can’t wait to see your latest sketch of the SparkIt team!\nBrian’s mentality is that if you’re going to be stuck inside for an extended period of time, you might as well enjoy the view. Already equipped with several plants, Brian is focused on at least keeping these alive. Knowing he is a beginning gardener, Brian wants to see his cacti and bamboo grow over the next few weeks. He’s been using research and YouTube to find the best tools to maintain his growing garden.\nThe increased time home also allows Brian to tap into his creative side. Using chairs, cushions, pillows and more, Brian channels his inner child to create comfortable forts where he can work and rule at the same time. Bring some snacks, a blanket and a laptop and there’s nothing that he can’t do.\nLike all creative minds, Bismarie loves seeing a complicated plan come to life. This is shown through her ability to engineer fantastic games, such as indoor golf courses. Using doors, stairs and boxes, she finds great ways to have fun and keep her putting skills on par.\nCooking & Baking\nBismarie is also a dedicated baker: sweets are truly her passion. She loves trying new recipes whether its a challenging professional dinner from Food Network or a cute Instagrammable dessert from Pinterest. Here are some recipes she recommends!\nNot only is Bismarie an avid writer, she also enjoys some friendly competition in videogames. She often gathers friends to battle in Super Smash Bros and Mario Kart. These games can be played online, so there’s no need for in-person meeting either!\nWith a variety of games available, Vivian also has some catching up to do. She mostly enjoys playing with her siblings, but certainly wants practice to ensure their destruction. Things can get heated, but she knows a little competition makes for a happy and healthy home.\nVivian’s one true love! Cinnamon rolls keep her alive and well, often enjoying a cup of coffee and a sugary treat while working on designs. Vivian says that the extra time has allowed her to bake more often. She enjoys finding various recipes on Pinterest and occasionally experimenting with her own curiosity.", "domain": "hobby"}

This can only mean one thing for those of you who enjoy the alpine climate and outdoor adventures – a winter ski holiday!\nAnd how better than to experience what the picturesque village of Samoëns has to offer - one of the 5 proud French alpine ski resorts which make up the Grand Massif. The Telegraph in 2012 described Samoëns as ‘enchanting’ and noted it to be possibly the best ski resort in France... And this hidden gem has only become more attractive with each season, while maintaining its authentically natural and rustic charm. Just to set the scene, the heart of the village resides a lime tree, which is surrounded by the gothic church, the alpine botanical gardens, bars, restaurants - both traditional Savoyarde and European, grotto-like clothes and trinket shops, patisseries and a vast newly built covered ice skating arena which also hosts hockey and entertainment for families during the seasons. All this is an 8-minute cable car ride away from the start of the Samoëns ski slopes.\nFor those unfamiliar with this part of the world, the Grand Massif (an hour’s drive away from Geneva) is the 4th largest ski-linked area in France with 265km of pistes up to an altitude of 2500m. Flaine, Les Carroz, Morillon, Samoëns and Sixt together offer access to 144 pistes, providing an overwhelming amount of choice to suit all level of skiers. Be amazed by a season of blue sky and fresh powder days at the summit (Samoëns 1600m) which is north-facing and therefore reliable for snowfall, clear long and winding Grand Massif runs – which are groomed nightly with 254 snow cannons, as well an abundance of off-piste slopes worthy of a winter wonderland postcard. No filter required :)\nThis beautiful, welcoming and ‘romantic’ resort attracts holidaymakers from all over Europe and further afield, and is enjoyed by couples, groups of friends as well as families of all ages and abilities. Here you will find something for everybody. There are plenty of slopes that beginner level skiers can access from Samoëns summit – such as the newly paved Septi-snake, a total of 9 green slopes just in the local area (Massif), a travellator, several ski-lifts and even some button lifts which aren’t too daunting! For the intermediate and experienced skiers/snowboarders there is ample choice of blue, red and black slopes, as well as a Jam park to show off your freestyle snowboarding skills.\nIn response to the growing popularity of the resort, Samoëns has seen the opening of the Chariande Express Chairlift in 2009. This is considered the Ferrari of all chair lifts; ascending from 1600 to 2120ft in just 9 minutes - allowing you to maximise the opportunity to explore the rest of the ski domain. There is now more choice than ever of restaurants up in the summit and among the slopes - for a well-deserved chocolat chaud avec Chantilly and a crépe or two.\nIn addition, Winter 2016/17 has brought with it a new red piste in Samoëns that promises an ‘awe-inspiring panorama’. There are also 3 new pistes in Flaine this season, adding to the reputation of The Grand Massif being one of the world’s biggest ski areas.\nThis winter season, the Grand Massif ski domain will be open from Saturday 17th December 2016 to 17th April 2017. Looking at the recent seasonal trends, there has been fresh snowfall as late as the end of April, so this area fares well among satisfied holiday makers.\nSo whether you choose to fill your itinerary with active/leisurely skiing or snow-boarding, performing speed riding tricks, taking in the stunning views of the Mt Blanc mountain range from Les Grandes Platieres, spending time with the children on the nursery runs, skidooing, tobogganing, ski-trekking, ice-climbing, parapenting, or husky sledding...Samoëns has access to it all.\nBienvenue á Samoëns - Winter 2016/17.\nWe warmly welcome you to Apartment Buqa – an exclusive self-catered family owned chalet-style apartment accommodation, sat proudly in the picturesque mountain town of Samoëns. It offers an air of luxury, style and comfort, sleeping up to 8 people.\nApartment Buqa has all the ingredients which make it feel like home away from home, with a sense of indulgence and freedom to enjoy the holiday just the way you want. The apartment is equipped with ample space to entertain, a Jacuzzi to help you unwind, a whole mezzanine level dedicated to ‘chilling out’ and watching movies/playing games, a log-fire for the winter nights, and a balcony to experience the sunset over the backdrop... you need never leave the apartment! Buqa is also an environmentally-conscious apartment – we believe in helping to preserve the natural beauty of the mountains.\nIn a nutshell, Buqa offers the perfect place to Bond and Unwind in Quality surroundings, All year round. That’s how we arrived with the name, and it suits this place perfectly.\nWhat guests like to know is how far we are from the ski slopes. The apartment is located a 5-minute walk away from the village centre and local amenities. It is a 2-minute bus route to the Grand-Massif slopes. It is a 5-minute drive away from a large supermarket and merely a (secret) path away from the Alpine botanical gardens ;)\nIf you are curious, please have a look at our guest testimonials, or take the virtual tour of the apartment. Better still, have a look at the view from the balcony at Buqa by clicking on our live Webcam!\n...And of course we are here to help make sure our guests have all their needs catered for before and during their stay - to make it an experience to look forward to, to remember and to cherish for seasons after.\nFeel free to give us the thumbs up, hashtag us or share photos of your BUQA days with us!\nThe BUQA family.", "domain": "hobby"}

Here are five important trading lessons Sudoku can teach you.\nSudoku puzzles have been around for quite a long time. Dating back to the 18th century, it was also known as Latin Squares. The simple looking puzzle, comprising of a 9×9 square, requires Sudoku players to fill in each square with a number so that the row, the column and the block contains the numbers 1 through 9 without any repetition. Sudoku means the single number in Japanese.\nSudoku puzzles come from the very easy layouts which can be solved in under a minute to the tough, taking an hour if not more. Sudoku puzzles can offer a quick getaway while still putting your mind to work. Thanks to the latest smartphones, there are a while lot of Sudoku puzzles that you can download and play anytime, anywhere.\nBut what’s Sudoku got to do with trading you might ask? Play Sudoku for a week or a month and it is no secret that quite some valuable lessons can be learned from playing this puzzle, which can be applied to the markets as well.\nOne small mistake can quickly snowball into a complete mess\nTime to start over or retrace the wrong number\nDepending on the level of difficulty, sometimes you do not realize that you made a mistake until you come to the final stages of completing the empty squares. By this time, the only option left is to wipe perhaps the puzzle clean and start over again.\nIn trading context, it is not hard to see the similarity. A small mistake can be as simple as entering long or short at a very bad price level only to see prices quickly turn against you leaving you in a big drawdown, or it could be as simple as cutting your winners too early only to see prices continue to push on in the direction. The result of that one small mistake could potentially put your trading equity at risk or have you to take the difficult decision of closing out your positions at a larger loss than originally intended.\nThink outside the box\n‘3’ placed in the middle and bottom right block by looking at other boxes and rows & columns\nThis is a literal lesson. Those who have played Sudoku would know that at times, it helps to think with of a fresh set of eyes. Most of the times, the answer is very obvious, but often clouded. When you are unsure of what number goes into the square, you can simply look at the corresponding row or column to get the much-needed perspective.\nWith trading, too much of screen time also clouds your judgment. Taking a break from the charts and approaching your strategy with a fresh perspective can do wonders and especially at times when the solution/reason is very obvious.\nProcess of elimination\n‘3’ placed by process of elimination\nMost of the numbers in the squares can be simply placed by a process of elimination, by looking at the rows and the columns. Because no number can be repeated within a block, row and column, using a simple method of elimination can save you a lot of time and also help you solve the Sudoku puzzle much faster.\nWhen trading, for whatever reasons, traders tend to keep chasing the more complex set ups. Why risk your money on a currency pair which you acknowledge to be complex when you can focus on the easier, high probability set ups which can actually make you money?\nOr why lose focus on trading 5 different currency pairs when you can focus on just one and build your positions on it?\nJust as with Sudoku, leave the most complex squares (or trading set ups) for later and try to capitalize on the more obvious and easier positions.\nEverything is interconnected\nPossible placement of ‘8’ is interconnecting and influences the outcome of other numbers in the block\nWith Sudoku, every number and its placement is important as it interconnects to the block, row and column, which in turn influences the placement of the other numbers in the remaining squares as well.\nThis couldn’t be further from the truth when you trade. Equities are going up but so is Gold? Surely, something’s got to give. Interconnected, is a term that is of great importance in the financial markets. When you trade a currency pair in isolation, the probability is only 50 – 50 for the currency to move in the direction that you forecast it to. But with inter-market analysis, you can increase the probability even greater and thus gain more confidence in your analysis.\n*Sudoku Screenshots from websudoku.com\nProbability is not certainty\nProbable chance that 8 (circled) is correct, but not certain, when 8 (squared) takes that position\nThis is perhaps the biggest lesson to learn. While there might be a high probability that a certain number could fit into the block, it is however not certain. As traders, especially those who trade with chart or candlestick patterns, it is important to realize that probability does not mean certainty.\nTo put it in simple terms, a bearish engulfing candlestick pattern offers a high probability that prices will fall, but there is no guarantee that prices should fall.\nUnderstanding this point is critical for traders to have an alternate trading plan or more importantly knowing when or where the probability is falling apart and acknowledging that you were wrong and thus cutting your losses quickly.", "domain": "hobby"}

We have a dog, a beagle, which I will undoubtedly post about one day and we have an aquarium.\nOur first fish aquarium was a little one gallon tank for a betta my son won at a fair. This fish lasted for about two years. After him, we tried many different fish until we upgraded to a five gallon Fluval Spec V aquarium.\nFresh water aquarium keeping can be a challenge. Despite my many years of personal and professional experience with fish keeping (my first jobs in high school and college where in pet/fish stores and I was a marine biology major for a while), our little tank never really flourished.\nEnter the Mbuna\nIn the last year I changed the aquarium occupants to a mbunas, also know as African cichlids. Mbuna (pronounced boo-nuh) is the Tonga word for rockfish referring to the colorful and amazing fish living amongst the piled rocky shores of Lake Malawi in Africa. Lake Malawi, bordered by Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania, is incredible in it's own right. It is a rift lake and is the ninth largest and the sixth deepest lake in the world. It also has more species of fish than any other lake in the world, estimated to be about a 1000 cichlids alone. This region is also near where Australopithecus afarensis was first found.\nDue to the depth of the lake, mbunas have evovled very deep and varied coloration and due to their territorial natures, then are very active, aggressive fish. These fish are readily visible, not startled by people outside and always a pleasure to watch. They don't play well with other fish in the aquarium and they pretty much get the aquarium to themselves. They need a lot of hiding places to feel secure.\nBelow is our take currently:\nNormally, mbunas are known for uprooting plants, but due to the small size of the fish and large size of the substrate gravel, that isn't much of an issue. The mbunas all have territories and are quite happy in there aquarium chasing around, hiding and munching on the plants. The live plants are from all over the world and flow gracefully in the filter current. I am frequently replacing plants as they chomp through bits of them.\nOur five little mbunas are named after members of The Beatles, in reference to the little yellow submarine in our aquarium, and in honor of my son's grandparents. The photos below are not from our actual fish, but Wikipedia images, but they show each species:\nPaul – Pseudotropheus demasoni is rather timed and hangs mostly in the left of the tank:\nJohn and George – Maylandia estherae are a bit different. John is the boss, largest and orange with dynamic gray mottling. He is constantly exploring. George is solid orange more timed and hangs in the middle:\nRingo – Melanochromis auratus is very bold and roams throughout the tank:\nPete – Labidiochromis caeruleus - Pete, named after the first drummer, is semi-timed and hangs on the left. He was hiding in the aquarium photo above:\nPeople often see these fish are remark that they look like marine fish. I could never support having a marine aquarium. Mbunas breed very readily in captivity and are excellent parents, protecting their young aggressively. All of my fish are domestically bred, as are the vast majority of fresh water fish you find in most stores. Very few marine fish can be breed in captivity, and the resulting damage to our ocean reefs is horrible:\nIf you love marine fish, visit an aquarium, such as the Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific or the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Better yet, take up Snuba, snorkeling or even scuba diving and visit these beautiful fish in their natural habitats. I'm considering one day going to Malawi to dive in Lake Malawi.\nI have really enjoyed these fish. Following simple rules, including making sure the water conditions are good, they are very hardy and easy to care for. Most new aquarists overlook these fish, often found on the edge of aquarium fish sections. I was once guilty of this too. In time I was able to convince my family to adopt these little mbunas, and we haven't looked back since!", "domain": "hobby"}

Carefully remove the old skin. If you plan to use the same skin leave it in the water. Clean the shell of excess glue.\nThe skin should soak in the water 2-3 days. If the old skin has a re-enforced edge try to copy it.\nTie a strong 1/4\" thick cord around the waist of the drum. The lacing is #18 gauge cotton cable cord. Punch or burn small holes 1/2\" from the edge of the skin and about an inch apart and start lacing. Go around the thick cord and through the skin all the way around loosely. After you finish lacing turn the drum upside down on a towel and squeeze a bit of Elmer's white, water resistant glue under the edge. Turn it over and start pulling gently, careful not to tear the holes! Keep the head wet. Pull on the skin as you tighten the lace, taking up the slack. Do this about 3-4 times. The skin should be taut. With a wet sponge or towel on the playing surface use a hair dryer to dry the glued area as quickly as possible. When the glued area is dry, take off the sponge and put the drum in a shaded dry place. Wait twelve hours and play gently.\nIf you are using a fishskin head, fabric sewed to the skin will more evenly distribute the tension and is a better method. You can machine stitch fabric around the edge of a new skin before soaking it. Fishskin should be soaked overnight and needs to be handled more carefully than goatskin and not pulled as tight. The diameter of the skin should be 4\" larger than the opening of the drum which means that you will have a finished 2\" overlap from the opening.\nCut a strip of muslin about 2 1/4\" wide and long enough to go around the drum skin plus some overlap to stitch the circle closed. Hem the bottom edge. Machine stitch the muslin on the reverse side onto the skin. It's a little tricky so stitch carefully since you don't want to go back and rip if you make a mistake - the extra needle holes will weaken the skin. Stitch the circle closed, cut off the excess and fold the muslin right side out. The finished strip should be about 1\" wide.This procedure creates a dome shape that fits over the drum and with the bottom edge hemmed it creates a neat finished appearance. Tie a circle of heavier cord, like clothes line, around the narrowest part of the drum. Use a sail needle to attach the string to the muslin and loop over and under to the bottom circle of cord all the way around. It takes time to loop it so you don't want to put glue under the skin until you finish looping. Turn the drum upside down on a towel, put in the glue and proceed as above.\nIf you have questions for Uncle Mafufo, e-mail him at email@example.com", "domain": "hobby"}

A whole host of grizzly and ghastly ghouls are easy to create from a regular make-up bag that contains just a few beauty staples.\nGhostly Pale Eye Shadows or Light Shimmer Powders\nMost people have a white or light colored eye shadow lurking around in their make-up bag, or as part of an old palette. Use this to create an all over pallid skin. Your own foundation will probably be just the right, healthy color for you but using a fat brush to dust a light colored powder all over this takes that healthy glow down a notch. This is great for creating a bloodless or sickly look and is useful for corpse, zombie and undead make-up.\n- Liberally apply light powder or eye shadow over foundation for an overall sickly glow.\n- Any shadow with a lemon or green undertone can be used to further enhance a sickly pallor.\n- Powder colors are suitable to use anywhere on the face and a light shadow is useful for blocking out natural, healthy color in cheeks and lips.\nDemonically Dark Matte Eye Shadows and Brow Powder.\nHalloween is the perfect time to use up that old dark brown matte eye shadow or eyebrow powder that was bought and then consigned to the bottom of the make-up bag.\n- Use any matte brown, green, navy or black shadow to do some ghoulish contouring and shading in eye sockets and under cheek bones. This makes a great corpse-like, emaciated or diseased look.\n- Advanced contourers can also use this along the outside of the forehead, jaw line and nose to create a range of shaded effects from skeletons to ghosts.\n- Use in combination with a white shadow to create the most three dimensional looking illusions.\n- Darkening up brows can create a werewolf look, or just accentuate pale skin.\n- Do not forget to color ears, if appropriate.\nSpidery Eye Liners and Kohl Pencils\nIt is easy to get a quick intensity with eye liners and pencils and most people have a black eye liner lying around somewhere.\n- Use a soft kohl pencil for more intense chiseled contouring, either combined with dark and light eye shadows or alone. Draw lines and then soften these, blending in one direction only with a brush or cotton bud. This leaves one side of the shading clean and sharp for a three-dimensional look.\n- Dark pencils, especially in blue and green, can be used to trace over, or draw, bulging veins.\n- Dark lips can look vampy or can be used just to contrast frightfully with a pale skin.\n- Line the lips with a dark pencil and then blend in your regular lip color to lend this a wearable but gothic edge.\n- Line lips with a dark pencil and blend in concealer to get a grayish lip color.\n- Color lips all over with a dark pencil and either leave matte, or top up with clear gloss for Halloween party glam.\nIf you want to look glamorous, yet dark and mysterious or even a bit monstrous, black eye liner (ideally liquid or cake) is you best ally. Instantly turn an ordinary make-up, or even a monstrous face, in to something a bit more seductive.\n- Try drawing a double thick liquid flick above the top lash lime. Team this with lashings of mascara or fake lashes if you have them.\n- Line eyes all around with liquid liner to create a variety of striking eye make-up looks.\n- Those with drawing skills can use a small brush to create a variety of liquid liner designs anywhere on the face or body. Try spiders, bugs and cobwebs. Decorate them with diamante for witchy glam or leave alone for something a little more scary.\nMonstrous Make-up Extras\n- Attach individual lashes to anywhere using regular lash glue. Draw a dot with pencil or liquid liner then add a couple of lashes for a fun hairy wart.\n- Too much blush, or a lip color patted in to cheeks with fingertips, helps create a fevered look. This looks especially good if done with pale lips and darkened eye sockets.\n- Halloween is the time to revive any make-up purchases that did not suit you. The chances are that you didn’t like the color because it made you look slightly sickly or at odds with your usual image.\n- Paint the whole face with a bright lip color and powder this to fix it. Red quotes the classic Clive Barker flayed look but any bright color can be the basis of a fun monster make-up. Beware that some lip colors stain, so trial this on a small patch before actually covering your whole face.\n- Regular latex lash glue can be used to create tiny cuts, scars, spots and warts. Apply to skin, manipulate to look how you want and leave for a few minutes to dry. Then color this with foundation or eye shadows.\n- Pile on extra loose powder for a dry texture and ghostly pale skin.", "domain": "hobby"}

Experienced bettors enjoy playing classic poker games as well. As a matter of fact, trying out poker is one of the reasons why people visit land-based casinos. Coinbet24 offers clients a dozen poker games. There is regular poker, as well as Texas hold’em.\nPoker is a family of card games that combines gambling, strategy and different skills. All poker variants involve betting as an intrinsic part of play, and determine the winner of each hand according to the combinations of players’ cards, at least some of which remain hidden until the end of the hand. Poker games vary in the number of cards dealt, the number of shared or “community” cards, the number of cards that remain hidden, and the betting procedures. Keep in mind that all the poker games at Coinbet24 can be played with bitcoin.\nPoker was developed sometime during the early 19th century in the United States. Since those early beginnings, the game has grown to become an extremely popular pastime worldwide.\nIn the 1937 edition of Foster’s Complete Hoyle, R. F. Foster wrote: “the game of poker, as first played in the United States, five cards to each player from a twenty-card pack, is undoubtedly the Persian game of As-Nas.” By the 1990s some gaming historians including David Parlett started to challenge the notion that poker is a direct derivative of As-Nas. Developments in the 1970s led to poker becoming far more popular than it was before. Modern tournament play became popular in American casinos after the World Series of Poker began, in 1970.\nPoker on television increased the popularity of the game during the turn of the millennium. This resulted in the poker boom a few years later between 2003–2006. Poker has increased in popularity since the beginning of the 20th century and has gone from being primarily a recreational activity confined to small groups of enthusiasts to a widely popular activity, both for participants and spectators, including online, with many professional players and multimillion-dollar tournament prizes.\nThe standard 52-card pack, sometimes with the addition of one or two jokers, is used. Poker is a one-pack game, but today, in virtually all games played in clubs and among the best players, two packs of contrasting colors are utilized in order to speed up the game. While one pack is being dealt, the other is being shuffled and prepared for the next deal. The procedure for two packs is as follows: While the deal is in progress, the previous dealer assembles all the cards from the pack he dealt, shuffles them, and places them to the left. When it is time for the next deal, the shuffled deck is passed to the next dealer. In many games in which two packs are used, the dealer’s left-hand opponent, instead of the right-hand opponent, cuts the pack.\nIn clubs, it is customary to change cards often and to permit any player to call for new cards whenever they wish. When new cards are introduced, both packs are replaced, and the seal and cellophane wrapping on the new decks should be broken in full view of all the players.\nWhile Poker is played in innumerable forms, a player who understands the values of the Poker hands and the principles of betting can play without difficulty in any type of Poker game. Except in a few versions of the game, a Poker hand consists of five cards. The various combinations of Poker hands rank from five of a kind (the highest) to no pair or nothing (the lowest).\nThe Best Poker Hands\n- Five of a Kind – This is the highest possible hand and can occur only in games where at least one card is wild, such as a joker, the two one-eyed jacks, or the four deuces. Examples of five of a kind would be four 10s and a wild card or two queens and three wild cards.\n- Straight Flush – This is the highest possible hand when only the standard pack is used, and there are no wild cards. A straight flush consists of five cards of the same suit in sequence, such as 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 of hearts. The highest-ranking straight flush is the A, K, Q, J, and 10 of one suit, and this combination has a special name: a royal flush or a royal straight flush. The odds on being dealt this hand are 1 in almost 650,000.\n- Four of a Kind – This is the next highest hand, and it ranks just below a straight flush. An example is four aces or four 3s. It does not matter what the fifth, unmatched card is.\n- Full House – This colorful hand is made up of three cards of one rank and two cards of another rank, such as three 8s and two 4s, or three aces and two 6s.\n- Flush – Five cards, all of the same suit, but not all in sequence, is a flush. An example is Q, 10, 7, 6, and 2 of clubs.\n- Straight – Five cards in sequence, but not all of the same suit is a straight. An example is 9♥, 8♣, 7♠, 6♦, 5♥.\n- Three of a Kind – This combination contains three cards of the same rank, and the other two cards each of a different rank, such as three jacks, a seven, and a four.\n- Two Pairs – This hand contains a pair of one rank and another pair of a different rank. Additionally, you also have a fifth card of a different rank, such as Q, Q, 7, 7, 4.\n- One Pair – This frequent combination contains just one pair with the other three cards being of different rank. An example is 10, 10, K, 4, 3.\n- No Pair – This very common hand contains “nothing”. None of the five cards pair up, nor are all five cards of the same suit or consecutive in rank. When more than one player has no pair, the hands are rated by the highest card each hand contains, so that an ace-high hand beats a king-high hand, and so on.\nTwo hands that are identical, card for card, are tied since the suits have no relative rank in Poker. In such a case, the tied players split the pot. Note that if two hands contain the same high pair, then the ranking of the next card in the hands determines which one wins. For example: 9, 9, 7, 4, 2 beats 9, 9, 5, 3, 2. Likewise, two hands that have identical pairs would be decided by the fifth card. For example: Q, Q, 6, 6, J beats Q, Q, 6, 6, 10.\nCoinbet24 Poker Games\nAs a Casino Operator, Coinbet24 offers the most popular poker games. They are divided between regular poker and Texas Hold’em.

We hadn't, but it was so much fun creating these menus...one of the things we enjoy is a new challenge. We used many different materials and methods to create these menus. When we couldn't find exactly the right chalkboards, we made our own using chalkboard paint. After that we silk screened the menus onto the chalkboards and even put real chalk on the finished menus to make them look authentic. It was so much fun that we decided to make 3 large chalkboards to use as the escort boards for seating.", "domain": "hobby"}

Everyone's Books, in Brattleboro, VT, has access to a brand-new events space: The Space at 118 Elliot. It's a former laundromat, and a great place to gather for a reading and book discussion. I was there this past Thursday. Many thanks to the terrific booksellers from Everyone's. You and your colleagues have kept this Northeast Kingdom writer going for decades.\nEn route from Brattleboro to Manchester, VT, I crossed the spine of the Green Mountains in a driving rain. The foliage was at its peak in the upper elevations. The oranges and reds were as vivid against the steely low clouds as in full sunshine, a phenomenon I've noticed many times. I stopped at Bartleby's Books in the alpine village of Wilmington, signed several copies of GOD'S KINGDOM, and was delighted to see half a dozen little kids happily browsing in the children's section with their parents. Who says young people aren't reading these days? Not so!\nFriday evening I had a well-attended event at the Northshire Bookstore in Manchester Center. Thanks to the wonderful Morrow family and to all my friends and readers from Manchester. There's no better bookstore in the United States than Northshire.\nOn Saturday afternoon, after stopping to sign books at the lovely Gilbert Hart Library in Wallingford, I had the pleasure of launching the first event at Phoenix Books' new store in Rutland. It's at 2 Center Street, in the heart of the downtown district. Rutland is, and always has been, a vigorous, working city. Now it has a great new bookstore!\nThere are worse ways to spend the fall foliage season than driving around New England reading from my new book and visiting with new and old friends. I'll be at the Hardwick Town House in Hardwick at 7:00 on this coming Tuesday,sponsored by the Galaxy Bookshop , Oct. 13; the Norwich Bookstore at 7:00 on Wednesday; the Phoenix's Burlington location on Thursday at 7:00; the Cobleigh Library in Lyndonville at 7:00 on Friday, sponsored by Geen Mountain Books; the Woodstock History Center on Saturday at 1:00, sponsored by the Yankee Bookshop; and Main St. Main Street Bookends in Warner, NH, at 2:00 on Sunday. Hope to see you at an event soon. I'll be bringing my map of \"Kingdom County,\" aka God's Kingdom, for your amusement.", "domain": "hobby"}

The Bristol Bears team were already in Paris as they had flown earlier in the day and were finalising their preparations as the fans were free to do with their day as they wished, taking in the famous sights, Christmas markets and ramping up their step counts.\nEveryone met back up, in true English Rugby fashion at the pub opposite the stadium before the match started where we were met by fellow Bears supporters, some of whom we hope to see on future Sportsrooms supporters tours.\nThe stadium was a spectacle, the energy electric with drums being banged, songs being chanted. It was fantastic to see such passion from both the Bears and Stade Francais supporters.\nThe game was tight and end to end, with Stade Francais all set for the win, when Harry Thacker’s second try in as many games against the Parisians allowed Callum Sheedy to land the winning kick with just two minutes remaining. Bears won 18-16. It was nail biting stuff! A great result for Bears, setting them up for good things to come in the rest of the teams European Challenge Cup campaign.\nFlying home on Sunday 15th, it was a great opportunity to reflect on a fantastic weekend, the feedback received, and the smiling faces said it all.

However, we are happy to show you other photos from the series of twins. However, I mean imaginary twins. Tereza Vlčková actually took photos of girls that are not actually twins. “Every person has his/her other self who we carry inside or somebody who is kindred both mentally and physically,” explains Vlčková. The essential photographic theme of the Two series is also the ease with which we can change reality into fiction and vice versa. As if the stylization and atmosphere of the overall concept of the photos led us out of our time and space and into another. Either it is about children or we have entered a world of a different type. “I tried to question the deeply-rooted role of children bound with loveliness, playfulness, and childishness. I wanted to point at their personalities,” says Vlčková, who studies at the Institute of Creative Photography in Opava and at Tomáš Baťa University in Zlín. Recently, she has had two exhibitions at the Transphotographiques festival of photography in Lille: the Little Garden exhibition of fashion photography and the exhibition of the Two series.

From the moment my grandma gave me the OneStep 600 Series in 1996 it never left my neck.\nMaybe it was the cool sounds it made. \"Click, pshh, mmm, errrr\". Or the magic of a piece of paper exiting the front of the camera with the exact image that I just saw through the viewfinder. Or possibly having to shake, wave and blow on the photo anxiously waiting for the gray to fade and an image to appear. All were enamoring to a six-year-old me.\n24 years later my camera no longer makes those noises and the pictures don't require waving. But the magic is still there. From sports to portraits and landscapes to events, capturing a single moment in time fascinates me now more than ever.\nSports Illustrated | ESPN | Sports Center | Netflix | The Athletic | Fox Sports | NBC Sports | ABC News | CBS News | CNN | People Magazine | Good Morning America | Forbes | Yahoo | Toronto Star | Indianapolis Star | The Las Vegas Review-Journal | San Francisco Chronicle | On3 | Fox News | AOL | MSN | BET | Pro Football Focus | The Ringer | The Athletic | Huffington Post | TSN | Sports Business Journal | Panini | Indianapolis 500 & Brickyard 400 Programs | The Drive | Bleacher Report | 247 Sports | The Action Network", "domain": "hobby"}

We live in a cold Canadian climate and very soon all those garden beds will be covered by snow. That however is precisely why you should mulch. Our winters are harsh and cold and the roots of your plants need protection.\nMulch breaks down overtime from exposure to the elements; a fresh layer will insulate the soil and help roots survive cold winters. This is especially crucial if you happen to have bulbs or plants sensitive to colder climates.\nAnother advantage of adding mulch in a cooler season is it’s much easier. Working in the late spring or summer can be extremely hot. You also have to contend with flowering gardens and sprouting perennials in the warmer months. In fall you can or likely already have cut back much of your garden. This gives you more room to work and to rake the mulch in more easily.\nPreventing your mulch from breaking down and damaging the roots of your plants is a crucial step to a healthy, lush garden bed spring and summer.

And I took the photos used in the magazine and online too.\nThe Essex Way — an 82-mile long distance path running roughly south west to north east from Epping to Harwich — may sound a lot like a sequel to a familiar reality TV show, but (in contrast to the aforementioned show) it actually represents the perfect means to get to know the county.\nFor those of you not familiar with the terminology, a long distance path or LDP is usually taken to be more than 30-miles long and often joins together existing rights of way. Essex has several of these LDPs, but the Essex Way is the most significant walk, growing in stature and reputation since its inception in the early 1970s….\nConnecting the fringe of London to the North Sea coast well away from the bustle of the A12 and mainline railway corridor that so many of us spend so much time traversing, if the very thought of it sounds arduous, it needn’t be, for there are no rules here. You can walk it east to west or vice versa, in small sections or large chunks, over several weekends or even years, or tackle the whole length flat out in two or three days if you fancy a real challenge on your doorstep.\nJohn Juchau of the West Essex Ramblers took part in the group’s walk of the Essex Way in ten legs from April to October three years ago. ‘You can dip in and out and do bits of it, or in circular walks to get back to your car or transport,’ explains John. ‘People may think that Essex is all flat and boring, or built up, but that’s not the case. It has some delightful countryside to walk through.’\nAside from the varied landscape it reveals along its route, the real beauty of the Essex Way is its comparative accessibility – never far from useful transport links, but always only a short stroll into rural tranquillity. One end is alongside Epping’s Central Line tube stop, the other a stone’s throw from Harwich Town train station. You can hop off the train at several spots back towards Chelmsford for quick access to the nearby path, or for simple bus connections north to south. With a car, or two in a group, it’s a doddle and a pleasure to pick out entry and exit points to the Essex Way’s pastoral delights.\n‘Essex is such a diverse county with many different things to offer and when you are walking you can get a real sense of place,’ says Lisa Bone, strategic tourism manager at Visit Essex. ‘72% of Essex is rural and the Essex Way showcases the variety of landscapes, towns and villages — each with their own unique character. Much of it challenges the perceptions that people have of Essex.’\nWide tracks and grassy paths flow into woodland walks and waste-height cuts through ripening crops, with occasional forays onto the Tarmac of country lanes. On a wet winter’s day, with Essex clay clogging your walking shoes after tackling tricky muddy field-edges, those back roads can provide some welcome respite. Stride out on a summer’s roam along any decent-length stretch and your focus will be far more upon the variety of things that come your way.\nIntersecting daily life along its route, you’re more likely to greet a local dog-walker than a fellow long-distance traveller. But this is still somewhere you will get the chance to swap stories with other Essex Way expeditionaries — as well as stroke and feed wayside horses, be startled by a pheasant darting into a hedge, see a hare cavort across a field and spot endless birds in flight and song, which, perhaps like me, you woefully can’t identify….", "domain": "hobby"}

March 30 is the date. Parsing the situation further gets you two additional dates for the arrival of Spring in case you're otherwise occupied: March 22 is the Opening Day for Major League Baseball in Australia; March 30 is Opening Night; March 31 is Opening Day.\nHow does this have anything to do with Jazz, you might ask? There are many avenues from one to the other vis-à-vis players of both and, in a personal vein, a teacher I once had. Jazz, like baseball, requires strategy and an \"in the moment\" collaboration with your group, or team. A player--of music or baseball--has to develop a set of skills, and in particular, strengthen the things that make them unique. Some are everyday players, like a Phil Woods or a Derek Jeter, and others astound with their clutch efforts off of the bench.\nArt Lande, a pianist/drummer/composer, first introduced this link of the two when we were talking one day; he described the activities of baseball and Jazz as being \"an enactment of community.\" Lande is a prominent performer in the Jazz world and as an educator, he is equally revered. Lande teaches Jazz improvisation through the use of games to replicate a \"real time\" feel for deploying your skill set, or getting the hang of a concept. Lande is a master of developing such games.\nHaving studied and performed with Lande, my own take on his teaching approach is that it probably had its genesis in a board game of his own devising that he has played religiously since the 1950s: The League. This version of the game is played with a deck of cards and a magazine (a baseball publication acting as the diamond). Intricate rules written in pencil accompany each outing of \"The League.\". This game goes everywhere with him during the season and many Jazz players know of his pastime. Michael Brecker, in the middle of doing a clinic and not having seen seen Lande for a decade or more, called out to him from the stage, \"Hey Art, are you still playing The League?\"\nLande, being a pianist and a drummer, listens intently from either an offensive or a defensive position when he plays. As a matter of fact, in talking with him about his teaching method, he instructs students to use four ways of listening when approaching a musical situation. These go from being a benign team player to an outright contrarian, a Ty Cobb of the sternest sort. It is an interesting way in which to approach being an ensemble player in a small group setting. You can listen and blend, assisting every note played to have a seamless presence; you can play in a supporting way, using contrary motion, or other devices that help to underscore and support the music; you can instigate a contrary position on the proceedings; or you can ignore everything and hold forth with your own story to tell. This latter approach tests the mettle of any performer. Denver trumpeter Ron Miles once told me that, by ignoring the chord changes for a chorus or so and eventually resolving into the correct changes,one can add a lot of tension or anticipation before \"getting to something good.\"\nEach year, as Spring training winds down and the days to the official start of the season are fewer and fewer, I always think of Art Lande, The League and Jazz. I also remember a trip we went on one summer: Eleven games in Eleven Days.

Contemplating yet another coding language to learn? Look no further, weary wanderer, for Python holds the key to unchaining your creative spirit. And before you dismiss it as “too beginner-friendly,” let me assure you, this unassuming reptile packs a potent punch of power hidden beneath its elegant scales.\nBut why pick Python for your next personal project? Well, fellow adventurer, buckle up, because I’m about to unleash five compelling reasons why Python is the perfect potion for your coding concoctions:\n1. Readability: A Code that Sings, Not Snarls\nImagine a programming language that flows like a sonnet, not a cryptic incantation. Python’s syntax is like a warm hug for your brain. Its emphasis on whitespace and clear structure makes it incredibly readable, even for beginners. No more deciphering hieroglyphics or wrestling with convoluted syntax; with Python, your code sings, not snarls. This clarity translates to faster development cycles and easier project maintenance, freeing you to focus on the juicy bits: building, tinkering, and creating!\n2. Versatility: A Swiss Army Knife in Your Coding Backpack\nThink of Python as the MacGyver of programming languages. Need to whip up a web app? Django and Flask have your back. Craving some data analysis? NumPy and Pandas are your statistical sidekicks. Yearning to automate tasks? Beautiful Soup and Selenium weave their magic. From web scraping to machine learning, scientific computing to game development, Python’s vast ecosystem of libraries tackles virtually any challenge you throw its way. No need to juggle multiple languages; Python lets you conquer diverse domains with one powerful tool.\n3. Community: A Network of Helping Hands, Not Head-Scratching\nLearning to code can be a lonely road, but with Python, you’re never truly alone. The Python community is legendary for its warmth and supportiveness. Countless online forums, tutorials, and documentation are just a click away, brimming with friendly faces and helping hands. Stuck on a bug? No worries, the Stack Overflow oracle will guide you through the darkness. Don’t underestimate the power of a vibrant community; it can turn roadblocks into stepping stones and fuel your coding journey with encouragement and camaraderie.\n4. Rapid Prototyping: From Idea to Reality in a Flash\nEver have an idea that crackles like lightning but fizzles out before you can code it? Python’s rapid prototyping capabilities are your lightning rod. Its quick turnaround time and concise syntax let you test your ideas quickly and iterate like a champion. Need to validate a concept or build a basic MVP? Python lets you transform your brainwaves into tangible prototypes in record time. So, ditch the slow-churning behemoths; with Python, your ideas can dance from imagination to reality in a blink.\n5. Scalability: From Humble Beginnings to Grandiose Heights\nDon’t let Python’s beginner-friendly facade fool you. This language can scale alongside your ambitions. Started with a simple script? No problem! Python gracefully transitions from solo projects to complex applications. Its modular design and robust libraries empower you to tackle larger and more intricate challenges as your skills and vision evolve. Think of it as a trusty steed that carries you from your first wobbly steps to galloping across grand coding landscapes.\nPython: Unleash the Power of Simplicity\nSo, there you have it, adventurer. Five compelling reasons why Python deserves a starring role in your next personal project. Its readability, versatility, supportive community, rapid prototyping, and scalability make it the ideal language for unleashing your creative spirit and transforming your ideas into tangible magic. Ditch the complex incantations and embrace the power of simplicity. Choose Python, and watch your coding journey soar!\nP.S. Feeling overwhelmed? Don’t fret! Python development services are readily available to help you navigate the coding wilderness. Whether you need a helping hand with specific tasks or a full-fledged coding co-pilot, there are talented professionals out there eager to share their Python expertise. Remember, even the mightiest adventurers sometimes need a guide, so don’t hesitate to seek out qualified python development services if you need an extra boost on your coding journey.\nPython is more than just a programming language; it’s a philosophy, a way of thinking. It champions clarity, efficiency, and a focus on the bigger picture. By choosing Python, you’re not just acquiring a technical skill; you’re becoming part of a global community of passionate creators and problem solvers. So, take the plunge, adventurer! Embrace the Pythonic path, unleash the power of simplicity, and watch your coding skills blossom into something truly remarkable.\nRemember, the Python journey is filled with endless possibilities, and the only limit is your imagination. So, code with confidence, experiment with enthusiasm, and join the vibrant community of Pythonistas who are building the future, one line of code at a time.", "domain": "hobby"}

The Spanish coast is one of the most biodiverse areas in Europe, making it a perfect destination for nature lovers, birdwatchers and fans of diving and snorkelling. So, if you’re thinking of spending your holidays on the Costa Brava, don’t forget to take a trip to these nature reserves:\n- Aiguamolls de l'Empordà\n- La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone\n- The Cadí-Moixeró\n- Cap de Creus\n- Baix Ter, Montgrí and the Medes Islands\n1. Aiguamolls de l'Empordà\nLocated in the bay of Roses, the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà Natural Parc is the second most important wetland in Catalonia. It is the perfect place to observe waterfowl and sea birds, as well as migrant birds that stop to rest in this marsh. The park is perfectly outfitted with wooden walkways so you don't miss one part of it. If you’re lucky, you will be able to observe some of the otters that were reintroduced to the area years ago.\n2. La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone\nIf you want to feel the energy of walking on what was once a volcano and looking directly at one of its craters, the La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone natural park is for you. Characterised by forests of holm oaks, oaks and beeches, it has 28 hiking trails of varying difficulties where you can escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and the coast. Absolutely unmissable is a walk through the Fageda d'en Jordà, an incredible beech forest that looks like something out of a fairy tale.\n3. The Cadí-Moixeró\nAbout two and a half hours from the Costa Brava, the maritime landscape completely changes and we find ourselves in the middle of the Pyrenees, in a natural park high in the mountains. The Cadí and Moixeró mountain ranges are two of the most impressive in the Pyrenees, with steep slopes and valleys full of meadows and forests. This park is home to emblematic species such as wolves, chamois goat-antelopes, bearded vultures and wood grouse, although you will have to be especially lucky to find them.\n4. Cap de Creus\nIn the northern part of the Costa Brava, occupying the municipalities of Llançà, Cadaqués and Roses, among others, is the Cap de Creus park that includes sea and land. It is an unparalleled place for diving, with well-lit ocean bottoms where you can find meadows of Posidonia oceanica seagrass and red coral, which house a great variety of fish and marine invertebrates. If you don't fancy getting wet, though, you can always enjoy the many cliffs and coves.\n5. Baix Ter, Montgrí and the Medes Islands\nThe park of the Medes Islands mixes coastal mountainous areas, cliffs, coves and marine landscape. It is one of the areas of Spain where it is easy to observe bottlenose dolphins and where you can find large coral communities (especially red coral and violescent sea-whip) full of all types of fish. To warm up after your dive, we recommend a walk through the bushes of its grassy hilltops, letting yourself be captivated by the smell of rosemary and thyme which are native plants of the area.\nIf you still want more, you can also visit the other natural parks in the area:\n- The Montseny: It is the most visited natural park in Catalonia and has countless routes. Declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1978, thanks to its biodiversity and well preserved Mediterranean forests.\n- L'Albera: In the northern part of Girona, this park is known as the only area of the Iberian Peninsula where there are still natural populations of Hermann's tortoises.\n- The Capçaleres del Ter & del Freser: One of the newest parks in the area, declared in 2015, characterised by Pyrenean landscapes of high mountains. For an unforgettable excursion, take the \"zip\" train that goes up to the Vall de Núria and enjoy the activities offered according to the season.", "domain": "hobby"}

I was so confident when I booked my test, and I pass with just a couple of minors and passed my theory first time. Thank you.Thomas Kelly\nI used Tiki driving school to learn how to drive back in 2014 and it was first recommended to me by a close friend. Which I can honestly say was the best decision I had made. The overall experience was great, I was having 1 to 2 lessons a week and was improving week by week. Never was there a dull lesson, every lesson we would discuss how to perfect my\ndriving as well as the usual banter and chit chat. I developed a very good friendship with Anthony which I can say, 2 years on I still consider him as a good friend and instructor too. I failed my first time and Anthony was very calm about it we got back to the lessons the week later and worked on my weak points and then second time round I passed straight away. I have always recommended Tiki driving school to anyone that asks me, it is not only a great price but I feel I really got my monies worth. My brother will be getting to drive soon next year and I already know who I want to teach him.\nMy sister passed her test first time with Antony and I have now done the same.

I am 100% confident that \"gunexams.com\" is responsible for my passing grade of 98% on the written portion. I would highly recommend anyone taking the PAL exam to use this site if you're comfortable with firearms or you've let your current PAL expire. Anyone else should take the course... the privileges of having a gun is huge responsibility and shouldn't taken lightly. Thank you, Gerry R\nFirst of all, let me say how good I found your practice exams. There is lots of material that doesn't seem to be in the manuals.

But through the help of you tests, I had the confidence I needed. I passed both non-restricted, and restricted challenge tests with 90%, 92% written and 100% and 98% practical.

I'm prepping for my exams next month and this is absolutely the best way to train. It immediately showed me my weak areas, and now I can give extra attention to those. PLUS, I have to say, the tests are actually fun to take. Well done!\nI opted to write the challenge exams instead of taking the courses. Even after studying the manuals, I failed both sets of practice exams. I then ordered and completed both sets of questions. Thanks to GunExams, I completed both sets of examinations yesterday with 98 and 98 on the non-restricted and 100 and 96 on the restricted and prohibited exams.

Apply a layer mask to the background layer to mask out the face (layer mask icon is at the bottom of the layers palette).\n4. Create a new layer above the background layer, name it face and hit Ctrl +V to copy the face into the face layer.\nThen you’ll probably have to reposition the face and line it up correctly. If all goes well your picture should look exactly like the original photo except you have an additional layer of just the face.\nWith the face layer selected hit Shift +Ctrl +U to desaturate.\nNow you can bring in the dried mud texture. Open the texture in Photoshop and drag it into your face document (it should be on top of all other layers). If your using the texture I supplied, its pretty big so you have to size it down. Temporarily lower the opacity of the mud texture so you can see what area of the mud you want over the face then hit Ctrl +T to bring up the transform tool, Scale an position the dried mud where you want it.\nWhen you get it where you want, hit enter to apply and raise the opacity of the dried mud back up to 100%.\nWith the mud layer selected in the layers palette, Ctrl +click the “thumbnail” of the face layer in the layers palette to create a selection. Apply a layer mask to the mud layer by clicking on the icon an the bottom of the layer palette and set the blend mode to Color Burn.\nSelect the “layer mask Thumbnail” of the dried mud layer and take the blur tool from the tools palette and soften the edges a little around the face. Then take the Sponge tool and paint/scrub on the neck to bring in a little texture.\nSelect the Face layer and take the burn tool from the tools palette and darken a little around the Eye and the corner of the mouth.\nThen select the background layer and use the burn tool again to darken the hair and neck area ( use a soft brush at about 80px.\nNext, Select the “Layer mask Thumbnail” of the dried mud layer. Select the paint brush and make sure your forground is set to black and paint around the pupil and iris to reveal the original eye. You can easily give the eye some color by creating a colored circle around the iris and changing the blend mode to overlay. I like the darkish gray look so I won’t do that in this tutorial.\nIn this last step we’ll add just a touch of the levels adjustment to make the face just a little more erie looking. Select the face layer and go to Image>Adjustments>levels and just move the black and gray values slightly or just play around with the values to get it how you want. Here’s what I used.\nIn an optional step, add another layer above the rest, set the forground color to red and background to black and fill it with the clouds filter filter>render>clouds and then mask it to the shape of the face the same way did the Dried Mud layer, set the blend mode to overlay and opacity to about 50%.\nHere’s my Final:", "domain": "hobby"}

Now we have “Dragonz”\nWhat are Dragonz from Clash of Dragonz?\nThese “Dragonz” are dragon-like NFT creatures that are based on the Ethereum Blockchain and evolve from an egg that will be uniquely generated from over 600 hand-drawn traits and can be used to play in the metaverse, trade on OPenSea, and earn royalties.\nWhat makes Clash of Dragonz so special?\nThe NFT project is limited to 7777 unique “Dragonz” characters that can be collected, and each one is distinctively designed with over 600 different features. There are 5 different “Dragonz” families and each family has its own strengths and weaknesses which are key elements for the Play-to-Earn game. Then there are 12 iconic “Dragonz” that are iconic and don’t belong to any family but have special powers that can be used to play in the game. They also have royalties of 5% that you can earn.\nHow to buy “Dragonz” from Clash of Dragonz?\nIf you want to have your own “Dragonz” you have to mint them and it will start as an EGG that will evolve into your own unique Dragonz. If you want to buy or trade already minted “Dragonz” you can do so on OpenSea. Keep in mind, since they are based on the Ethereum Blockchain you need to have Ethereum in your wallet to buy them. You can then place a bid or buy them for a fixed price. OpenSea has a detailed guide on how to buy NFTs here https://support.opensea.io/hc/en-us/sections/1500000462261-Buying\nSo should you buy “Clash of Dragonz” ?\nAs always we recommend to DYOR (Do your own research) and educating yourself before purchasing an NFT. There is always the risk of losing the money that you’ve put in. But…\nIf you want to have your own “Dragonz” as your pet that evolves from an egg and view it as a game it might be something worth considering. We surely will keep an eye open on how they evolve over time.\nCLASH of DRAGONZ Website https://www.clashofdragonz.com/\nCLASH of DRAGONZ invite to Discord https://discord.com/invite/clashofdragonz\nClash of DRAGONZ on Twitter https://twitter.com/clashofdragonz\nCLASH of DRAGONZ NFT Drop URL https://opensea.io/collection/clash-of-dragonz-official", "domain": "hobby"}

The emphasis is on learning rather than creating lots of finished pots.\nIt is suitable for beginners who have a keen interest and those who’ve done a little in the past but not had time to focus or practice sufficiently to acquire confidence/expertise.\nThrowing can be tiring and requires good body mobility/flexibility to operate the wheel.\nIf you are not sure if a 5 day course is suitable for you, you may prefer to attend a half day course with me first and/or email me with any questions.\nThe format will be 5 mornings of tuition & practice from 9:30 till 1pm Monday to Friday. The tutors Lee & Kathy have, between them, over 50 years of production craft pottery throwing and teaching – see some recent reviews & videos of our throwing techniques), The number of attendees will be kept very small to ensure plenty of time for individual tuition.\nSee what previous students have said:\nHave just completed a five day pottery course with Lee and his lovely mum; a fabulous experience. Lee shared his knowledge in a very professional way whilst managing to add a lot of humour into the mix . Truly inspirational! Can’t wait to collect my pots .\nAs a complete beginner in throwing I had no idea what to expect or how much I would learn. It was a great experience. Lee and his mum Kathy are so welcoming and the experience and skill level they have as potters between them is incredible. Lee keeps the class to small numbers which means he is able to teach on a very one to one basis and see where you need help to progress forward. His skills and patience are amazing. It was amazing how quickly we picked up new techniques and by the end of the week were all producing pots of different types. Everyone on the course was super friendly, I cannot recommend this course enough or even a visit to the pottery and browse in the shop. I can’t wait to return .\nWe have just returned from a five day pottery throwing course with Lee, it was really good, informative and great fun too. Lee is a great teacher and we have learnt significantly from his efforts.\nIt’s been a week since we have returned from the week’s course and we are still telling our friends and family how great it was. You have tremendous skill and patience and are an excellent tutor. We found it challenging, interesting and fun.\nMy partner and I have just finished a week’s course at the pottery. Whilst we are not absolute beginners having attended a couple of courses elsewhere, Lee’s approach to teaching has been a revelation. Both Lee and his mother Cathy were very welcoming and set us at ease straightaway. By the end of the week we now have the confidence to take our new hobby to the next step…buy a wheel and kiln! We can’t wait to pick up our finished pots. If you want to try your hand at throwing pots their courses are highly recommended!\nLong experience has taught us that learning to throw for 5 full days rather than 5 half days is too exhausting for most so we hope you’ll be pleased to hear that the pottery is located in beautiful countryside and in between the market towns of Kirkby Lonsdale, Hawes & Settle.\nThe cost is £285 and this also includes :\n– 4 to 6 pots (dependent on weight) to be glazed & fired after the course – can be collected at a later date (or packed & posted for an additional charge).\n– morning tea/coffee & biscuits\nThere is self-catering holiday cottage accommodation available adjacent to the pottery, alternatively there is a variety of cottages and B&Bs in the village of Ingleton 4 miles away including Acorn Cottage (managed by Lee’s wife).\nEmail or ring us with any questions. A £50 deposit is required to reserve your place. (The balance is due 6 weeks before the course start date.)\nCourses in 2024 will be £300 per person.\n5 Day Beginners Courses\nMarch 4th – 0 places left\nApril 8th– 0 places left\nMay 13th – 0 places left\nJuly 22nd – 0 places left\n5 Day Follow-on 5 day Course\nJune 10th 2024 – 0 places left\nThis course is only available to people who have some experience of throwing and preferably from one of my beginners’ courses. Email me if you are not sure if it is for you. It will be same cost and format as the 5 Day Beginners Course. NB some people instead choose to repeat the 5 Day Beginners Course to consolidate what they learnt before embarking on the Follow-on one.\nPlease email me if you wish to be added to the future notification/cancellation list and, if if there is enough demand, we might organise another one.\nIn the event of cancellation less than 6 weeks prior to the course, the full balance remains payable. We will make every attempt to re-book the course. If successful, all monies (except the deposit) will be refunded.\nIn the event of cancellation more than 6 weeks prior to the course, we will happily try to fit you on a different future course.

This is a proprietary Institution owned and managed by Ordnance Services Officers Welfare Society (OSOWS) and hence the name Ordnance Club. Consequent to the formation of Board of Ordnance on 08 April 1775, a recreational centre was created in the Hastings area in Kolkata, which was managed by Ordnance Officers. This was later established as a Club in 1907, with the objective of enhancing espirit-de-corps among AOC officers and promotes sports and cultural activities. The Club Rules were approved by the Government in 1927.\nWhen the Club was first constituted, the members were mostly British officers, British Warrant Officers and Indian Army Officers. A few elite civilian officers and officers of DGOF were also permitted to be members of the Club. After 1947, the Club opened its membership to other civilians of various social strata on a restricted scale. All serving and retired officers of Army Ordnance Corps are Life Members of this Club. In addition, Defence Service and senior Central and State Govt Officers in Kolkata are also granted station and tenure based Service membership. Ordnance Club is predominantly a Sports Club with facilities for Badminton, Billiards, Snooker, Squash, Tennis, Swimming, Table Tennis, Cards and Gym with excellent training facilities and infrastructure. The Club regularly conducts various State Ranking tournaments besides organising various cultural and entertainment programmes and events for the members.\nKeeping pace with changing times, Ordnance Club braced modernity however retaining the old charm in more ways than one. The Main building, wooden floored ball room, lush green lawn and the entire establishment amply reflects the rich Army Club Heritage and legacy with the emphasis on discipline, sports and quality entertainment.\nHow to Reach Ordnance Club is an important landmark in Hastings, Kolkata-700022, located on the Commissariat Road in close proximity to the illustrious Princep Ghat and Fort William area. Being centrally located, taxis are readily available from all parts of the city. Distance from Netaji Subash Chandra Bose International Airport is 30 Kms and the driving time is approximately 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the traffic condition. The distance from Howrah Railway Station is 6 Kms and from Sealdah Railway Station, it is 8 Kms.

All around the nation, locovores and plant lovers are turning their backyards (and even their front lawns) into fruit and vegetable producing plots. To celebrate spring, we revisited The Secret Garden. In Agnieszka Holland's beautiful 1993 adaptation of Francis Hodgson Burnett's classic book, Mary is shipped off to a lonely mansion on the English moor to be raised by her uncle. There, Mary discovers two secrets: a hidden garden, overgrown with weeds, and her sickly cousin Colin, locked away in a secret part of the vast estate. Mary instinctively knows that both her cousin and the garden need sunlight and love to return to health. We needed a restorative dose of nature, so we stole the kids away to our favorite public garden, and were happy to discover a hidden Secret Garden (inspired by the novel) and even tumbled upon an edible plant area called Nature's Table Garden. Teeming with new lettuce and tomato plants, this fragrant plot inspired us to stop by a nursery to pick up tomatoes, lettuces and herbs for our own edible garden. Summer will truly have arrived when we enjoy that first tomato salad!", "domain": "hobby"}

Blending is the art of mixing different colors (whether still similar in hue or on completely opposite sides of the color wheel) to create a gradient of color, not a muddying mess that obliterates the vibrancy and trueness of the individual colors used to create a particular look.\nWhy bother? Using a single wash of color can be perfect or even ideal for some situations, like running out the door to make a few errands or for a simple workday, but in general, people who utilize makeup want to use more than one color, and of course, there are several good reasons behind this. Using multiple colors creates a sense of depth and dimension to the eyes, especially when used correctly. A darker color in the crease gives the appearance of a deeper, more pronounced crease; just as darkening the outer portion of the lid often defines the natural eye shape. By contrasting this dark shadow with a lighter color, the artist will open up their eyes while still allowing for an emphasis on accenting the shape of their eyes.\nWhat do I need? I always find that telling makeup beginners that the easiest place to begin learning how to blend and understanding what exactly you are attempting to accomplish is to use similar colors. Using two drastically different colors is not nearly as easy as taking a dark brown and a medium brown or even a dark olive green and a lighter green. I also recommend choosing browns to start with, because you simply cannot muddy up browns, as they are already brown! The texture of the shadows and the type of base you choose can also simplify or complicate the process. Smoother textures will be easier to blend compared to chalky or matte ones. By MAC, some of the easiest shadows to work with are the ones with the best color payoff, and include many of the veluxe and veluxe pearl shadows. Lustre finishes are less color payoff as a whole and tend to be more prone to flake because of the chunkier texture of the shadow itself. Shadows like Antiqued or Woodwinked are definitely recommended. A way you can tell if a particular shadow will work is to swatch both on the back of your hand and test-run it. Fingers are great to blend with, but we will get into why you should not use them for your eyes shortly. Putting the shadow on the back of your hand and seeing how easily the two colors blend together will be a good indicator of how well they will blend on your eyes with a brush. Brushes are absolutely essential to applying eye makeup, and I cannot stress the importance of using brushes over fingers or sponge-tip applicators. Wrinkles are caused by pulling and stressing the skin out excessively, including merely pressure applied to the skin. As we get older, our skin loses elasticity, and in order to help you reduce your costs of wrinkle creams in the next ten, twenty, thirty years… brushes help correct some of the mistakes finger usage can make. Brushes will put less pressure on your eyelids allowing for less pulling or stretching of the sensitive skin there. Sponge-tip applicators are better than fingers, but not nearly as beneficial as brushes can be. One of the worst parts of sponge applicators is that they waste a lot of product, even for face makeup. They complicate the blending process because of how much excess shadow is left on the sponge, so you generally have to go through several in order to use a cleaner slate each time. Brushes pick up less color during each swipe, and this allows for better precision to determine color strength and vibrancy, but also allow you to easily switch between a light pink color and a dark blue color. Sponge-tip applicators also are much less forgiving of any mistakes you might make, because of that high color amount they pick up. Blending is best accomplished by a brush because the bristles allow colors to be subtly entwined and meshed together. I will admit that sponge-tip applicators may be able to blend shadows together, but ultimately do not find that they are the best method to go about blending successfully, especially over the long-haul.\nWhen choosing a brush to apply eyeshadow and blend the colors together, there is definitely a wide, and most overwhelming, variety of brushes to choose from. Some users prefer to have separate brushes for the initial shadow application and the actual blending process. Either is acceptable, but it is not impossible to have an all-in-one eye brush. It is important not to use a brush that is firm or stiff, because you want the bristles to have a bit of fluffiness to allow you to sweep easily horizontally, vertically, and angularly. For instance, I find that MAC’s 252 brush is too flat and firm to do much more than apply shadow. You want a brush more like MAC’s 239, which has a bit of fluffiness, but not excessively so like the 222. The shape of the brush should be dome-like or slightly angular, but I would suggest the dome shape as being the most versatile. It is also important to choose a brush with soft bristles, and softness is not something solely reserved for high-end or more expensive makeup brushes. Sonia Kashuk makes more affordable brushes and can be found at Target stores, and their softness is not compromised by their price. Even some craftstore paintbrushes work wonderfully in the absence of cosmetic brushes! You can see what brushes I have purchased and pictures of what a good blending brush would look like by referring to my brush post.\nHow can I do it? Many believe that blending is one of the more difficult techniques to master, but it is merely something that takes a degree of precision and the willingness to practice if it does not just come naturally or easily to the person. I admit that it is not always easily accomplished when working with certain colors or textures. Each makeup application allows me to practice my blending or fine-tune it, because blending is really an on-going technique. Tutorials are an excellent way to understand the basics and mechanisms behind blending, but practice truly makes perfect in this case.\nYou begin blending by first applying two colors or more on your eyelid. There are two methods to go about doing this: 1) you can apply each color and blend afterwards, or 2) you can apply one and then blend as you apply the second one. I would suggest following the first if you really do not know where to start, because it is a lot easier to understand the process with this method. With method one, after you have applied the two colors to your lid, you will want to take your brush and hold it just at the end of the lightest color so that your bristles are vertical to your eyelid. Generally speaking, it is easiest to blend by pulling the lightest color into the darker one. With your brush positioned correctly, you want to pull the brush gently from the edge of the lightest that meets the darker color and pull towards the darker one. You are taking the lighter color and lightening the darker color faintly, which will create a sort of gradient effect so colors gradually fade into other colors, instead of splotches or blocks of color where it is clear where each one begins/ends. You do not have to drag the lightest color all the way to the end of the darker one; the point is merely to soften the edge between them so that the color on your lid appears fluid, while still maintaining distinct colors. The second method still follows the same technique as the first one; the only difference is perhaps the application follows darkest to lightest, allowing the lightest always to be overlaid on the darkest.\nThe art of blending is based on a very simple technique, but it just takes familiarity with it in order to be comfortable practicing it. One trick to aid in application is to use an intermediary color between two colors. For example, if you were to blend red and yellow together, you would likely get, at the very least, a tinge of orange; if you have an orange shadow, you can place a touch of it between the two and it will make blending even easier. Colors that are drastically different need to be handled very carefully, and it is a good idea not to rush through. Blending light green and a dark, hot pink requires a bit of finesse. The blending has to be incredibly subtle because these two colors do not naturally fade into each other, and infact, may be one of the tougher combinations to blend together without muddying them up. To deal with this, it is best to bring just a hint of the green into the pink, and repeat the motions as necessary. It will be problematic if you assume you will get a perfect gradient with just these two colors; it is best to merely soften the edge between the two colors, but you are unlikely to find it looks as blended as a look that merely consists of light green and dark green. Also realize that between green and pink, there are several colors inbetween, and your lid does not have the space to bring out all of them easily, either.\nIf you decide to use a second brush for blending purposes, the technique is still the same, but the brush you use will most likely be fairly fluffy in nature. You will still place your brush similarly and be gently pulling the colors together, meshing them to create a form of a gradient. Fluffier brushes tend to pick up less color so they are more forgiving; one wrong tap or stroke will not necessarily ruin your makeup. For this reason, it might be helpful for those struggling to successfully blend.\nWhat else? Blending is merely pulling one color into and over another, almost like a venn diagram has two individual circles that share an overlapping section in the middle. You can facilitate blending by choosing a good eyeshadow base, like Urban Decay Primer Potion, MAC’s Prep ‘n Prime Eye, or L’Oreal Decrease; these not only allow your eyeshadow to have staying power and prevent the color from fading, falling off, or creasing, but they will help make blending all that easier. It is important to note that expensive brushes, eyeshadows, or other tools are not essential or even necessary to blend well. It is more about the quality of the product than the price; if the drugstore variety works well, it is not worse than an equivalent higher-end brand. I must stress the significance of taking your time and not rushing through the process if you are not comfortable with it. Use what makes you comfortable, and do not be afraid to spend an hour in front of the mirror ensuring you are doing a good job in perfecting your look. Not everyone can do perfect makeup in twenty minutes, and even those who are able, were not so when they first began, either. Have fun with it; spend one night mixing your two favorite colors together and see what you come up with. Experiment, test out new ideas, and be creative as you learn what works, what does not, and how you can improve upon your skills as a makeup artist.", "domain": "hobby"}

However, above all, my mind and heart are all about food – the flavors, tastes, textures, formats, and colors. Ah, the colors 🙂\nThe Vegan and Colors is a journey that I embarked upon to broaden my understanding on how to live a healthier life, and keep a strong and fit body. I also have a deep desire to inspire others to eat more colorful and nutrient-dense meals. I chose to cook without using any animal product, which means only vegan recipes are shared here. That decision is part of a personal quest on how to be part of the efforts to mitigate the damage that has been caused to our forests, landscapes, ocean, rivers, wildlife, indigenous peoples, etc. I consider eating less animal products a valid and important path.\nThe answers added to my understanding are blended, mixed, cut, baked, boiled, chopped, and cooked in my kitchen. Yes, you heard it right! In my tiny and humble kitchen. I do belive that cooking should be fun, quick and part of everyone’s life, and as once said by the famous food activist and writer Michael Pollan, “Cooking can change your life”. I’m obsessed with colorful, natural and whole foods. So, all of the recipes of the Vegan and Colors are packed with colors.\nI hope I am able to inspire some of you during your journey,\nWith lots of love,", "domain": "hobby"}

It seemed great value and had easy to follow instructions.\nYou start with a prep on the nails, then use the structure, coloured plush (two coats), followed by the brilliance for the top coat. Thin coats gives the best finish, don’t be tempted to do thick coats thinking it will be faster or give you a better look. It doesn’t, if anything it makes it more likely not to last. Don’t forget to fold you nails under the UV light between each coat and make sure you leave it the the full time to cure properly.\nI like to do mine on a Sunday night in front of the tv, I use a laptop knee pad to make it easier and to have a solid surface to work on.\nThanks for stopping by, please don’t forget to like and follow 😘 xoxo", "domain": "hobby"}

Introducing Weberocereus: A Unique and Spectacular Genus\nWelcome to the captivating world of Weberocereus, a genus of cacti known for their unique and spectacular beauty. These extraordinary plants are favored by cacti enthusiasts and collectors alike for their stunning flowers and impressive growth habits. Weberocereus stands out among other cacti due to its elongated columnar stems and large nocturnal blooms, which add an enchanting touch to any garden or indoor space.\n2. The History and Origins of Weberocereus\nThe history of Weberocereus dates back many years, with its origins rooted in the tropical regions of Central and South America. This genus belongs to the Cactaceae family, which is known for its diverse range of cacti species. Weberocereus has evolved to thrive in the rocky and arid landscapes of its native regions, developing unique adaptations to survive in harsh conditions.\nOver time, this cactus has gained popularity among cactus enthusiasts worldwide, leading to its cultivation in various parts of the world. The captivating allure and impressive growth patterns have made it a favorite among collectors and gardeners seeking to add a touch of exotic beauty to their spaces.\n3. Exploring the Different Species and Varieties of Weberocereus\nWithin the genus Weberocereus, there are several species and varieties, each with its distinctive features and characteristics. Let’s explore some of the most notable varieties:\n- Weberocereus tunilla: This species is known for its slender stems with numerous spines and beautiful white or yellow flowers. It thrives in well-draining soil and requires bright, indirect sunlight.\n- Weberocereus glaber: Also known as “Little Tiger,” this variety stands out for its intriguing patterns on its stem, resembling the stripes of a tiger. It produces vibrant pink flowers that bloom at night.\n- Weberocereus frohningiorum: With its long, climbing stems that can reach impressive lengths, this species is perfect for those seeking a dramatic display. Its flowers are large and white, blooming at night with a pleasing fragrance.\n- Weberocereus tonduzii: This species is characterized by its thick, columnar stems and spines that give it a striking appearance. It produces elegant white flowers that open at night and emit a pleasant fragrance.\nThese are just a few examples of the diverse range of this cactus species and varieties available to cactus enthusiasts. Each plant brings its unique beauty and charm to the world of cacti.\nGrowing Weberocereus: Tips and Techniques\n1. Choosing the Right Location for Your Weberocereus\nWhen it comes to growing Weberocereus, selecting the perfect location is crucial for its health and optimal growth. These cacti thrive in areas with plenty of sunlight, preferably in a location where they can receive at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. It is essential to choose a spot that offers protection from strong winds, as excessive exposure can damage their delicate stems.\nIn terms of temperature, this cactus enjoys a warm and tropical climate. It is best to keep them in an environment where the temperature remains between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C) throughout the year. Avoid exposing them to temperatures below 50°F (10°C), as this can impede their growth and potentially cause damage.\n2. Understanding the Ideal Soil and Watering Conditions\nWeberocereus thrives in well-draining soil that mimics its native habitat. A mixture of sandy soil and organic matter, such as compost or peat moss, provides the ideal growing medium for these cacti. The sandy soil allows for adequate drainage, preventing waterlogged roots, while the organic matter helps retain moisture and provides essential nutrients.\nWhen it comes to watering, it is crucial to strike a balance. Overwatering can lead to root rot and other issues, while underwatering can cause the plant to become dehydrated. During the active growing season, which is typically from spring to fall, water your Weberocereus deeply but infrequently. Allow the soil to dry out partially between waterings, ensuring that excess water drains out of the pot or soil.\n1. What distinguishes Weberocereus in the cacti realm?\nAnswer: Known for its magnificent flowers and unique growth patterns, this genus boasts elongated stems and large, nocturnal blooms, captivating both gardeners and indoor plant enthusiasts.\n2. Where can these cacti typically be found in the wild?\nAnswer: They originate from the tropical terrains of Central and South America, flourishing in rocky and arid landscapes.\n3. Are there multiple types within this genus?\nAnswer: Absolutely. The genus comprises several distinct species and varieties, with Weberocereus tunilla, Weberocereus glaber, Weberocereus nudatus, and Weberocereus tonduzii being some notable members.\n4. Can you describe the appearance of Weberocereus tunilla?\nAnswer: This particular type showcases slender stems adorned with numerous spines and bears either white or yellow flowers. Bright, indirect sunlight and well-draining soil best suit its growth.\n5. What’s special about Weberocereus glaber?\nAnswer: Often referred to as “Little Tiger,” it captivates with stem patterns reminiscent of tiger stripes and is recognized for its vibrant pink, nocturnal blooms.\n6. Why is Weberocereus nudatus known for its dramatic presence?\nAnswer: With its long climbing stems that can span impressive lengths and large, fragrant white flowers that open at night, it’s a standout in any collection.\n7. Could you give insights into Weberocereus tonduzii?\nAnswer: This species displays thick, columnar stems punctuated with spines, offering a robust appearance. It’s also known for its elegant nocturnal blooms that radiate a soothing fragrance.\n8. Any advice for cultivating these plants?\nAnswer: When growing them, it’s essential to select a sunny spot shielded from strong gusts. These plants favor well-draining soil and benefit from a balanced watering regimen, allowing the soil to dry a bit between sessions.", "domain": "hobby"}

But in the world of a great all-around sport ATV, versatility is the key to having a good time. You want a machine that can fit a wide range of riders, abilities and terrains. And that ATV is the Honda TRX250X.\nThere’s a reason this is one of our most popular sport ATVs. A whole bunch of reasons, actually. Beginners like the light handling, and especially appreciate the TRX250X’s broad, four-stroke powerband—a trait that’s made Honda engines famous for decades. Lots of riders enjoy the exclusive Honda SportClutch™. It’s a unique feature that gives you all the control of a manual shift and clutch, but that also eliminates the chance of shift-induced stalling. Riders with more experience like the long-travel suspension and athletic performance on the trail. And just about everyone appreciates the low-maintenance features like the shaft final drive and famous Honda reliability.\nLight enough for smaller adults, big enough for full-sized riders, and with a powerband not easily outgrown, the TRX250X is the ATV you can purchase once and ride just about forever. And that’s exactly what you’d expect when you choose a Honda.\nEfficient Engine Layout: Honda pioneered the concept of mounting our ATV engines front-to-back in the chassis. That results in a smoother, more efficient powertrain, and more power getting to the rear wheels.\nNo-Stall Shifting: Honda’s exclusive SportClutch is only available on the TRX250X, and it’s a great feature. New riders get to learn clutch control without worrying about stalling, while experienced riders get all the control and freedom to shift the way they normally would.\nFresh Styling: The TRX250X even gives you your choice of distinct styles. A white version featuring new silver aluminum wheels is really unique in our ATV lineup. And there’s also a special edition red version with black wheels, red hubs and springs.\n- Rugged, reliable 229cc OHV engine: The TRX250X’s lightweight OHV air-cooled 229cc engine is longitudinally mounted, allowing direct driveshaft alignment to rear wheels for more efficient power transfer. The two-valve cylinder head design features performance-optimized valve timing, a 31.5mm-diameter intake valve and a 27mm-diameter exhaust valve contribute to the engine’s broad, usable powerband.\n- Rubber-Mounted Engine: A rubber-mounted engine reduces vibration. This helps make parts last longer, and cuts down on rider fatigue as well.\n- Shaft Final Drive: Honda’s fully sealed rear driveshaft is super-strong and virtually maintenance free. The driveshaft sits in-line with the engine’s crankshaft for maximum driveline efficiency.\n- Independent Front Suspension: Independent double-wishbone front suspension provides an exceptional 5.9 inches of travel and a smooth ride over rough terrain.\n- Lightweight Aluminum Wheels: Lightweight aluminum wheels reduce unsprung weight for superior handling.\n- Exclusive Honda SportClutch™: The handlebar-mounted Honda SportClutch enables the rider to experience manual clutch actuation with the advantage of no stalling when coming to a stop. This revolutionary feature allows beginning or novice riders to learn clutch engagement points, while experienced riders enjoy the full performance of a conventional manual clutch.\n- Reverse: The TRX250X’s easy to use reverse makes unloading or maneuvering out of tight trail conditions easier.\n- Electric Starter: The effortless electric starter makes getting the engine started easy, even when the engine is cold.\n- Keyed ignition: Keyed ignition switch for added security. The switch also lets you control who goes riding and when.\n- Fresh styling: With a TRX250X, you get your choice of distinct color styles.

You can’t fake it,” Dezotell said.\nCapt. Matthew Trombley, owner of 3rd Alarm Charters, a fishing guiding service based in Rutland County and serving the Killington and Okemo areas, grew up spending almost all his time outdoors and agrees – experience and passion for the outdoors is a must, because it makes inspiring others easy.\nTrombley pursued professional licensure and is now a Masters Captain. His company owns and operates three boats, and he is president of the board of Vermont Outdoor Guide Association.\nCareer paths centered around recreation provide solid footing for a guiding business, Stevens says.\nDezotell started his outdoor guide career as director of a parks and recreation department in Vermont. In his spare time, he wrote and published a guidebook about hiking and snowshoeing, and things took off from there.\n“All of a sudden, I started getting more phone calls from people asking to go on hikes and other experiences like that. More than I was selling books, people really wanted to go on hikes.” Quimby Country, an outdoor retreat in the Northeast Kingdom, saw Dezotell’s blog posts and hired him to be the outdoor recreation specialist.\n“My business springboarded off of that start in the industry,” he said.\nDezotell still works with clients at Quimby Country, an outdoor retreat in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, but has since gone on to own and manage Gibbs Guides full-time.\nHe says besides building a solid base of outdoor experience, creativity and a willingness to go off the beaten path – both literally and metaphorically as guides establish their businesses – are key.\nVermont’s business landscape, he says, provides opportunities for people to make a living if they’re willing to work hard and look for unexpected opportunities.\nSocial media can be a cost-effective way to scale an outdoor guide business. Blogging, sharing outdoor tips, and posting high-quality images inspires people and helps build a client base.\nStevens says Vermont’s geographic diversity means there’s many different opportunities for guides to find footholds in the state’s business community.\nVermont’s guides offer such diverse experiences as fishing, snowshoeing, hiking, camping, canoeing, ice climbing, SCUBA diving, sky diving, and dog sledding.\n“Guide services operate year-round, matching our four seasons,” said Stevens.\nSpring in Vermont makes for excellent fishing, road bike touring, and nature tours. In early summer, hiking, rock climbing, mountain biking, horseback riding and ATV tours are all great options into fall, when many people visit to take in Vermont’s colorful foliage. In winter, dog sledding, ice fishing, ice climbing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, back country skiing, and more opportunities await.\nMany guides partner with local lodging properties and outdoor equipment suppliers to provide a more in-depth experience for their clients and to help build their businesses, he said.\nStevens’ biggest tips for those looking to establish a guiding business in Vermont include looking for professional certifications and licensure, as well as getting a foot in the door in the industry.\n“Get a job with a guide service or outfitter to start out,” he said. “Getting the appropriate certifications for your activity is important and will help you to land a job. Running a guide service involves much more than just being skilled in one or more activities. You will need to understand risk management, rules regarding commercial access to public and private lands and waterways, knowledge of State laws, customer service, marketing and more.”", "domain": "hobby"}

All international competitions are scored this way and work so well that they have been adopted for all club and tournament scoring. IMP or team games are very much like rubber bridge as the total score (above and below the line) is what matters. This score is compared to the opposing team who play the same hands. MPs or Match Points are used for scoring in duplicate games where it is not the total score you make on a hand but how well you do against all the other players who have the same hand. In match point play making 7NT on a hand can give you the same MPs as making 2 spades on another.\nBob Hamman, a world champion, puts it this way: What is the difference between IMPs and Matchpoints? Who do you think were the two best heavyweights who ever fought? I don’t really care who you pick, but take those two fighters, both at the peak of their careers, put them in a ring and let them slug it out for 15 rounds. Whoever wins is the champ. That’s IMPs. Now take the same two fighters, blindfold them and tie one hand behind their backs. Divide the ring diagonally with a solid barrier and put a heavyweight on each side of the barrier. Now go down to the local tavern and collect 20 drunks. Place 10 drunks on each side of the ring and let the fighters go at it. Whoever knocks out his drunks first is the winner. That’s matchpoints!— Bob Hamman, in Classic Bridge Quotes by Jared Johnson", "domain": "hobby"}

Collector car enthusiasts invest time, effort, and passion into maintaining and restoring these automotive treasures. To ensure the preservation of these cherished vehicles, collector car insurance steps onto the scene. In this article, we’ll explore the world of collector car insurance, its significance, benefits, and how it caters to the unique needs of vintage car owners.\nUnderstanding Collector Car Insurance\nWhat is Collector Car Insurance?\nCollector car insurance is specialized coverage designed to protect classic, vintage, and collectible automobiles. It recognizes that these vehicles often have unique value beyond their market price, considering factors such as rarity, historical significance, and sentimental attachment.\nWhy is it Different from Regular Auto Insurance?\nUnlike regular auto insurance, which primarily focuses on the market value of a vehicle, collector car insurance takes into account the unique value and characteristics of vintage cars. It offers specialized coverage options tailored to the needs of enthusiasts who invest in the preservation of these automotive treasures.\nBenefits of Collector Car Insurance\nAgreed Value Coverage\nCollector car insurance typically offers agreed value coverage. This means that in the event of a total loss, you will receive an agreed-upon amount that reflects the true value of your vehicle, rather than its depreciated market value.\nMany collector car insurance policies require specialized appraisals to determine the accurate value of the vehicle. This ensures that the unique features, condition, and historical significance of the car are considered.\nFlexible Usage Terms\nCollector car insurance understands that these vehicles are often driven less frequently and may participate in exhibitions, parades, and vintage car events. It offers flexible usage terms that align with the intermittent use of these vehicles.\nRestoration and Spare Parts Coverage\nCollector car insurance can also provide coverage for restoration projects and spare parts. This ensures that the investment you make in restoring and maintaining your vintage car is protected.\nEligibility and Considerations\nVehicle Age and Type\nCollector car insurance typically covers vehicles that are a certain number of years old (often 20-25 years or older) and are considered collectible or of historical significance.\nUsage and Storage Requirements\nInsurance providers may have specific requirements for usage and storage. For instance, the vehicle may need to be stored in a secure garage and used for exhibitions, club events, and occasional pleasure driving.\nSome collector car insurance policies may require drivers to meet certain qualifications, such as having a clean driving record and a minimum age.\nHow to Obtain Collector Car Insurance\nFinding a Specialized Provider\nLook for insurance companies that specialize in collector car coverage. These providers understand the unique needs of vintage car owners and offer tailored policies.\nAppraisal and Documentation\nYou may need to provide detailed documentation about your vehicle, including photographs, appraisals, and historical information.\nCustomizing Your Coverage\nWork with the insurance provider to customize your coverage based on your vehicle’s value, usage, and restoration efforts.\nPreserving the Past: Maintaining Your Collector Car\nFrequent maintenance and care are essential to preserving the condition and value of your collector car. Regular inspections, fluid changes, and attention to detail can extend the life of your vehicle.\nStorage and Protection\nProper storage is crucial to protect your collector car from the elements. Consider climate-controlled storage to prevent deterioration.\nClassic Car Community Involvement\nEngaging with the classic car community can provide valuable insights, resources, and camaraderie. Attend vintage car events, join enthusiast clubs, and connect with fellow collectors.\nInvestment Value and Appreciation\nFactors Influencing Value\nSeveral factors influence the value of a collector car, including its rarity, historical significance, condition, provenance, and popularity among collectors.\nLong-Term Investment Potential\nMany collector cars have the potential to appreciate in value over time, making them not only a passion but also a wise investment.\nCollector Car Insurance Myths Debunked\n“Collector Car Insurance is Expensive”\nContrary to common belief, collector car insurance can be surprisingly affordable, especially when compared to the coverage it provides for unique vehicles.\n“I Can Only Drive My Car Occasionally”\nWhile collector cars are often driven less frequently, many policies offer flexibility for occasional use, exhibitions, and vintage car events.\n“All Classic Cars Have the Same Value”\nThe value of collector cars varies widely based on factors such as make, model, condition, rarity, and historical significance.\nIs Collector Car Insurance Right for You?\nEnthusiasts and Collectors\nIf you have a deep appreciation for classic cars and invest in their maintenance and preservation, collector car insurance is tailored to your needs.\nRestorers and Customizers\nIf you’re involved in restoring, customizing, or modifying vintage vehicles, collector car insurance can protect your investment during the process.\nVintage Car Event Participants\nIf you frequently participate in vintage car events, parades, and exhibitions, collector car insurance offers coverage that aligns with your activities.\nSteps to Take in Case of an Incident\nContacting Your Insurer\nNotify your collector car insurance provider promptly in case of an incident. Follow their guidelines for reporting and documentation.\nDocument the damage thoroughly with photographs and relevant details. This documentation will be crucial for the claims process.\nFiling a Claim\nFollow your insurance provider’s instructions for filing a claim. Provide accurate information and cooperate throughout the process.\nCollector car insurance stands as a testament to the enduring passion of vintage car enthusiasts. It recognizes the value and significance of these automotive marvels and offers specialized coverage that aligns with the unique needs of collectors. With benefits like agreed value coverage, flexible usage terms, and restoration protection, collector car insurance safeguards both the physical and sentimental investments that classic car owners hold dear.\nFrequently Asked Questions (FAQs)\n- Can I insure multiple collector cars under a single policy? Yes, many collector car insurance providers offer policies that cover multiple vehicles, allowing you to streamline your coverage.\n- Will my collector car insurance cover modifications I make to the vehicle? Depending on the policy and insurer, modifications and customizations may be covered. It’s important to discuss this with your insurer and ensure proper documentation.\n- Is there a mileage limit for collector car insurance? Collector car insurance often comes with mileage restrictions, but these limits can vary based on the policy and usage requirements. Be sure to clarify this with your insurer.\n- Can I use my collector car for everyday commuting? Most collector car insurance policies have usage restrictions that prioritize occasional driving, exhibitions, and vintage car events. Regular commuting may not be covered.\n- How do I determine the agreed value of my collector car? Agreed value is determined through appraisals, documentation, and discussions with your insurer. Professional appraisals and historical research contribute to establishing the value of your vehicle.", "domain": "hobby"}

Balancing the dominance of privilege in professional and amateur road riding circles, JOYRIDE centers its narratives on riders of color, women, LGBTQ cyclists, and riders with disability—imagining a breadth of humanity and experience beyond the Tour de France.\nWritten and produced by Melanie Jones\nDirected and produced by Andrea Brassart\nEditing and music by Jaimie Stewart", "domain": "hobby"}

Our process to become a full member is fairly straightforward and easy.\nTSG4 is NOT an \"AUTO-APPROVE\" organization. In order for you to be considered and accepted as a full member of TSG4, the following stepsmustoccur:\nMake sure to register on our website (using your in-game name). Only registered users are able to submit an application.\nFill out an Application.\nJoin us on our Discord server (using your in-game name) and click/enter the \"MAIN LOBBY\" channel room and ask for a recuiter by typing in the center text channel (channel list is on the LEFT side of the Discord window) -https://discord.gg/sTck9hr.\nComplete your Initial Interview on Discord with a Recruiter (or Senior Officer).\nReview the TSG4 S.O.P's and Ethos (located in \"TSG4 DOCUMENTS\").\nVisit the TSG4 S.O.P thread in the \"Community\" section of the TSG4 forums and type your name or \"/sign\" that you understand and agree to be held accountable to our S.O.P's.\nSuccessfully complete your Recruiting Process (detailed below).\nDuring the Recruiting Process you will be observed and evaluated by all current TSG4 members, whether in-game with you or just listening on Discord. Your actions and behavior should be based on our Code of Conduct (since that is how we will measure your ability to fit in with us). Make sure that you read our “Code of Conduct (SOP's)” and understand what is expected of you *BEFORE* beginning the Recruiting Process.\nIt is important to note that carrying clan tags from another clan is not permitted once a Recruit and Prospective Member has officially entered into the TSG4 Recruiting Process. After your application has been reviewed, you will have your initial interview on Discord with a recruiter. During the Initial Interview, you will be given your rank (Discord role) of \"E-1, Seaman Recruit\" and be assigned a \"Red R\" to designate you as a \"Recruit\" to all of the TSG4 members. You are to update your profile avatars with this \"Red R\" on both your Discord Profile *and* your TSG4 OpServ (Website) Profile.\nWhen you are nearing the end of your Recruiting Process, you will be elevated in status and given a \"Green R\" (the color green is for \"good to go\") to designate you as a \" Indoc Recruit\" to all of the TSG4 members. At this time, you will also be informed of your pending Billet Assignment as a full member of TSG4 and be given a \"Indoc Checklist\". This Checklist is the final step of the Recruiting Process and must be completed prior to being extended an offer for Full Membership.\nIf you successfully navigate the Recruiting Process and are approved for membership, you will be considered as having “Earned Your Stripes” and will accordingly be promoted to “E-2, Seaman” and issued your rank stripes for your profile avatars. For Veteran and Active Duty members of the military, please refer to the alternate provisions as provided in section 1.B.3(D) of the SOP's.\nIn an effort to help guide the decision of our Recruiters and Staff, ALL of the current TSG4 members will make comments about you on the “Recruiting” section of our website forum that will be based on your behavior in-game and on Discord. **Your ship tier level and your skill level (WN8) has NO bearing on your application because we have no tier level or proficiency requirements.**\nThe Recruiting Process can take as little as a few days or up to a couple of weeks. The timeframe for completion is based entirely onYOU, the recruitand how often you are engaged with our members on our Discord server (and in-game)! Generally, the expected time for you to complete your Onboarding through the Recruiting Process will take approximately 14 days, but could go a little longer.... (or shorter).... It all just depends on your level of activity,engagementandpositive attitude.. If you are unsure of, or would just like an update on your personal progress during the course of your “Recruitment Evaluation Period”, all you need to do is ask a recruiter.\nBefore you begin filling out our membership application, it is HIGHLY ENCOURAGED (and STRONGLY RECOMMENDED) that you spend a few minutes and watch this video! Even though our organization exists for games and in a gaming environment, this video will give you a much better sense of our mindset and help you understand who the members are at the core of TSG4.\n**Helpful Hint- If the number of evaluation comments on your \"recruit thread\" does not equal or exceed the number of days that you have been in the Recruiting Process, you absolutely WILL NOT advance into the \"Green R\" Indoc Phase.Reason:The number of evaluations is an indication of your activity level. A low number of evaluations indicates a low activity level and thus a low desire to become a full member of TSG4. Suggestion:As you div-up with full members of TSG4, do not be afraid to \"remind\" them (or simply flat-out ask them) to make a comment on your thread. Helping your progress though the process *is* helping yourself... and is certainly viewed as being positive and taking a proactive approach!\nPlease feel free to speak to a member on our Discord server if you have any questions regarding the TSG4 Recruiting Process. Use this link to go directly to the TSG4 Membership Application Pageand submit an application to become a member of the Tactical Strike Group 4 family!\nAgain, thank you for your interest in TSG4….. See you in-game!", "domain": "hobby"}

I have created and sold a wide variety of blogs in different niches which means I am in a great position to help you create your first blog.\nI launched SetupABlogToday.com to teach you for free, how you can start a blog online in no time at all even if you’re a complete blogging novice!\nTo build your first blog we will be using the popular WordPress platform to create a blog on your own web hosting account.\nClick one of the three buttons below and we can get started.\nWhy I Recommend WordPressPlainly and simply I will never recommend someone who wants to start a blog to use a free platform such as Blogger. While there is zero barrier to entry and no up front financial cost to you there are lots of concerns which could cost you more in the long run. When something is free you are the product – Because of this fact a platform such as Blogger or WordPress.com can shut you down at any point, with no warning and no way to recover your content. A minor indiscretion such as using an image without the right consent can have your site deleted and no way to challenge it. It looks unprofessional – Many of the free blogging platforms do not let you have a custom domain which gives across an unprofessional appearance to potential customers and subscribers. You are also very limited with the level of customisation you can do to your blog so your site looks just like everyone else’s. Paying for web hosting for your blog is not very expensive and can cost as little as $5 per month for very basic hosting packages. Having a reliable web host will mean that your site is backed up regularly and you have rights to recover your website for any reason. Now that you know that the free blogging platforms are not a great option for your blog you need to decide upon the type of platform you will use. There are lots of different open source platforms which most web hosting companies will support when you are creating your blog. The main blogging platforms are:\n- WordPress – is the most popular and customizable content management system (CMS) in the world\n- Ghost – is a new blogging platform that is creating a lot of noise in the blogosphere\n- Drupal – is quite popular but is difficult for novices\n- Joomla – another fairly popular CMS but there is a very steep learning curve\nStart a WordPress Blog – Video TutorialIf you are new to setting up a blog I recommend that you use Web Hosting Hub they have great customer service, reliable uptime and various free scripts which means you can install WordPress on your brand new hosting account in just a few clicks.\nYou can read my Web Hosting Hub Review for more details.\nAlso if you sign up to Web Hosting Hub today you will get a great discount and a free domain name for your new blog too.\nCreate a WordPress Blog – Step by Step TutorialIn order to setup a blog you will need a domain name and web hosting. If you are new to starting a blog then I recommend that you register your domain & hosting with the same company to keep things simple.\nOver the past few years, I’ve tried dozens of different WordPress Hosting providers and I highly recommend using Web Hosting Hub to make a blog because of their simple installation process & reliability.\nFirst head on over to Web Hosting Hub, if you visit the site today you will get an exclusive discount and free domain name worth $14.99. Select the package you want for your new site, if you plan on hosting more than 1 site on your hosting account then I recommend the Nitro package.\nNow choose your domain name, Web Hosting Hub will check if it is available for you. If you are happy for people to know the name and address of the person owning the domain name then you can deselect the whois privacy button as this will save you $9.99 per year. Fill in your personal details such as your contact and payment information. If you are happy to back up your blog regularly yourself then you can deselect the backup button, ignore the McAfee email protection and Dynamo upgrade. Web Hosting Hub will also install WordPress on your new hosting account for you so remember to select that option.\nNow complete the checkout and submit your order.

Let’s talk about the most commonly used curved display screens in slot machines.\nThere are several advantages to using curved displays for slot machines:\n- Improved gaming experience: Curved displays provide a wider field of view and more realistic images, allowing players to immerse themselves more deeply in the game and enhancing the gaming experience.\n- Reduced eye fatigue: Curved displays can reduce distortion and pixelation at the edges of the screen, reducing eye fatigue and visual strain and allowing players to enjoy the game for longer periods of time.\n- Better contrast and color performance: Curved displays offer improved contrast and color performance, resulting in clearer, more vibrant images and more realistic game environments.\n- Better design: Curved displays often have a more stylish and unique design compared to flat displays, adding a special aesthetic appeal to slot machines and attracting the attention of players.\n- Improved response time and input lag: Curved displays often have faster response times and lower input lag, resulting in a smoother gaming experience.\nOverall, using curved displays can enhance the gaming experience and visual effects of slot machines, providing a more realistic and immersive gaming experience. If you are a fan of slot machines, consider choosing a machine with a curved display for the best gaming experience.\nSlot machines typically require high-resolution and high-quality curved displays to provide a better visual experience and gaming performance. Here are some types of curved displays that are suitable for slot machines:\n- 4K curved displays: These displays have ultra-high resolution, typically 3840 x 2160 pixels, and can provide clear, lifelike images and details. They are often larger than standard 1080p displays and can provide a wider gaming field of view, immersing players more deeply in the game.\n- OLED curved displays: These displays use organic light-emitting diode technology and can provide higher contrast and deeper blacks, making images clearer and more vivid. They typically have faster response times and lower input lag, providing a smoother gaming experience.\n- 21:9 ultrawide curved displays: These displays have a wider aspect ratio, typically 21:9, and can provide a wider field of view, allowing players to better experience the game environment and plot. They typically also have higher resolution and refresh rates, providing clearer, smoother gaming images.\nIn general, slot machines are suitable for high-resolution, high-quality, and wide curved displays to provide a better gaming experience. Different slot machine manufacturers and game types may have different display requirements, so it is recommended to carefully review product specifications and features when choosing a display and select the one that best suits your needs.\nThere are many manufacturers producing curved displays for slot machines. Here are some of them:\n- IGT (International Game Technology): IGT is a manufacturer of slot machines and curved displays, offering various types and sizes of curved displays to fit different types of slot machines and games.\n- Aristocrat: Aristocrat is a manufacturer of slot machines and curved displays. Their curved displays use OLED technology and offer better contrast and color performance.\n- Scientific Games: Scientific Games is a manufacturer of slot machines and curved displays. Their curved displays have high resolution, high contrast, and fast response times, providing a better gaming experience.\n- Novomatic: Novomatic is a manufacturer of slot machines and curved displays. Their curved displays use advanced LCD technology and have high quality and performance.\nThere are other manufacturers also producing curved displays for slot machines, such as KONAMI, JCM Global, and ELO Touch Solutions, among others. Whatever brand of curved display you choose, it is recommended to carefully read the product specifications and features before purchasing, to select the curved display that best suits your needs.", "domain": "hobby"}

That being said, mastering a few fundamentals will help you perfect your technique. From here, we encourage you to experiment with different roasts, origins, or preparation methods.\nHere are our tips to brew a classic cup of coffee:\nMake sure that your tools — from bean grinders and filters to coffee makers— are thoroughly cleaned after each use.\nRinse with clear, hot water (or wipe down thoroughly), and dry with an absorbent towel. It’s important to check that no grounds have been left to collect and that there’s no build-up of coffee oil, which can make future cups of coffee taste bitter and rancid.\nGreat coffee starts with great beans.\nThe quality and flavor of your coffee is not only determined by your favorite brewing process, but also by the type of coffee you select.\nSome of the flavor factors include:\nThe country and region of origin\nThe variety of bean - arabica, robusta - or a blend\nThe roast type\nThe texture of your grind\nWhile there are a lot of choices, remember that there’s no right or wrong — for instance, you can choose a dark, flavorful espresso roast coffee and still have it ground to be brewed in a drip system. Have fun trying and enjoying different combinations.\nPurchase coffee as soon as possible after it’s roasted. Fresh-roasted coffee is essential to a quality cup, so buy your coffee in small amounts (ideally every one to two weeks). And please, never reuse your coffee grounds to make coffee. Once brewed, the desirable coffee flavors have been extracted and only the bitter ones are left.\nIf you buy whole bean coffee, always grind your beans as close to the brew time as possible for maximum freshness. A burr or mill grinder is best because the coffee is ground to a consistent size.\nA blade grinder is less preferable because some coffee will be ground more finely than the rest. If you normally grind your coffee at home with a blade grinder, try having it ground at the store with a burr grinder - you’ll be surprised at the difference! On the other hand, if your coffee tastes flat, it may be under-extracted, meaning your grind is too coarse.\nThe water you use is very important to the quality of your coffee. Use filtered or bottled water if your tap water is not good or has a strong odor or taste, such as chlorine.\nIf you’re using tap water, let it run a few seconds before filling your coffee pot, and be sure to use cold water. Avoid distilled or softened water.\nA general guideline is called the \"Golden Ratio\" one to two tablespoons of ground coffee for every six ounces of water. This can be adjusted to suit individual taste preferences. Check the cup lines or indicators on your specific brewer to see how they actually measure. And remember that some water is lost to evaporation in certain brewing methods.\nYour brewer should maintain a water temperature between 195 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal extraction. Colder water will result in flat, under-extracted coffee, while water that is too hot will also cause a loss of quality in the taste of the coffee. If you are brewing the coffee manually, let the water come to a full boil, but do not over-boil. Turn off the heat source and allow the water to rest a minute before pouring it over the grounds.\nThe amount of time that the water is in contact with the coffee grounds is another important flavor factor.\nIn a drip system, the contact time should be approximately 5 minutes. If you are making your coffee using a French Press, the contact time should be 2-4 minutes. Espresso has an especially brief brew time — the coffee is in contact with the water for only 20-30 seconds. Cold-brew, on the other hand, should steep overnight (about 12 hours). If you’re not happy with the taste of the final product, you're likely either:\nOver-extracting - the brew time is too long\nUnder-extracting - the brew time is too short\nEnjoy your coffee!", "domain": "hobby"}

The Sheefish may be caught by recognized methods: spinning, casting, trolling or fly fishing. From mid-March through the first of May Sheefish are caught by jigging through the ice on Selawik Lake of Hotham Inlet. Regardless of the time or method used, this is an excellent place to get your Trophy Sheefish.\nThe waters we fish vary in size from very large rivers to small streams and sloughs. The Kobuk River Valley also offers fishing for Arctic Char, Chum Salmon, Northern Pike, Whitefish and Burbot.\nWe begin our season in early June and close for the winter in late September. While fishing in the uninhabited frontier, it is likely you will see caribou, moose brown/black bear and untold amounts of wild birds and animals. You cannot imagine what it is like to be fishing under the Midnight Sun until you have experienced such an event!\nThe following is a list of tackle to fish our waters:\nLight spin rod, 4-6 lb. test line\nMedium spin rod, 10-15 lb test line\nWe use spoons and spinners in our waters. Some favorites are Daredevils, Krocodiles, Hot Rods, Vibrax and Pixies.\nFly rod from 3wt to 9wt and from 5 ft. to 9 ft. in length. Fly fishing for Sheefish is a challenge. The best setup is a 9wt rod with a fast sinking line. A red and white streamer has been known to be a Sheefish favorite.\nGrayling and Char will take nymphs and steamers. Fly fishing for Northern Pike can also be exciting with floating line and weedless bass files.\nWe own and operate two aluminum river jet boats, both equipped with inboard engines. One boat is 30’ and the other is 20’. For larger parties, other boats and guides are available as needed. All guides and equipment are Coast Guard licensed. Fly-outs are available at your own expense from a local charter operator.\nOur jet boats assure a safe and successful trip. Both our boats are equipped with radios and we’re prepared for emergencies or any unexpected breakdown. Our trips operation are geared toward small groups so we can offer lots of personal attention. We normally book a maximum of six anglers but often will accommodate a party of two.\nFor the person who likes to travel and is looking for an exciting adventure, a visit to Kiana Lodge may be just what you are looking for. We offer comfortable lodging, superb scenery, excellent fishing and hunting and friendly hosts whose aim is to make your vacation unforgettable.\nChoose your dates for travel and let us plan a custom trip for you and your friends.\nReferred to by the Inupiat of the Kobuk River as Sii and by Arctic explorers as inconnu (meaning “unknown” in French), the sheefish is found only in the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of North America and Siberia. In Alaska, sheefish is found in abundance on the Kobuk and Selawik (Siilavik, Inupiaq for “the place of the sheefish”) Rivers.\nKen Alt retired Biologist from the Alaska State Dept. of Fish & Game gives a general description of the sheefish as, “a member of the whitefish family but distinguishable from the more common whitefish by the strong extended lower jaw”. It often displays a phosphorescent purple sheen when taken from the water. The female sheefish lives longer and attains a greater size. Sheefish in the Selawik and Kobuk area can weigh up to 60 pounds, while in Interior Alaska they seldom exceed 25 pounds. The average shee fish weighs between 15 and 20 pounds.\nFISHING FOR THE SHEE:\nThe sheefish is the only predatory whitefish on the North American continent and is sleek and streamlined. The average shee fish will surface and tail walk as depicted in some of my photos, about three times and then sound.\nThe sheefish will put up a good fight, so a nine weight fly rod is highly recommended. I recommend bringing a spare rod for its not uncommon for a rod to fail, regardless of the brand. Reels should be of the large arbor with a well working smooth drag. A large streamer resembling a smelt or herring with a fast sinking line and a brisk receive is recommended. The trick to success in fishing for the elusive shee fish is being at the right place at the right time of year. Chest waders are recommended.\nShee fish are excellent eating when properly prepared. Many have said that shee fish is similar in taste to halibut but that is for you to decide. Some prefer to eat it deep fried, a Kiana Lodge special. Otherwise, Nellie can prepare it another way if requested.", "domain": "hobby"}

We’ve put together a list of the very best free spins offers, including ones with no wagering requirements, ridiculous amounts of spins, and even some bonuses with multiple parts!\nPlayOJO is unquestionably the fairest casino and has absolutely NO wagering requirements.\n*UK only. Win up to 500 Free Spins from Mega Wheel on 1st deposit. 24-hour expiry. Max bet £2.50, max spins win £8 per 10 spins, max Bonus win £150, selected games & 65x wagering on winnings. No Neteller/Skrill. Deposit/withdrawal fees apply. Full T&Cs apply.\n35x wagering on bonus and winnings from free spins.\nFree spins are usually offered by online casinos as a ‘welcome offer’ to get you to sign up. Most commonly, these are granted after you have made your first deposit.\nHowever, there are in fact several other ways to get free spins for free that most players don’t know about.\nHere are 3 clever methods you can often use to get free spins without having to deposit any money at all! Additionally, they can sometimes be used to gain additional free spins after you have already been playing at a casino.\nSome casinos give you free spins with no deposit required if you register your card details on the site. Obviously this is done to make it easy for you to deposit real money in the future, but technically you don’t have to pay anything to take advantage of this bonus and it is a great way to get some extra spins.\nThe hardest thing is actually finding the slots sites that offer this generous bonus. Did you even know there was such a thing as free spins for registering a card?!\nLuckily we’ve done all of the hard work and you can find every single bonus where you can get free spins just by entering your card details and not having to actually deposit anything.\nSince the use of credit cards is now banned for online gambling, you will have to use a debit card to qualify for this bonus.\nMany casinos like to reward their players who verify their phone numbers or opt into SMS marketing; in fact, some operators value this so highly that they dish out free spins to everyone that does it.\nAlthough some casinos actually have it as a requirement to even qualify for the first deposit bonus, others will reward you just for this action alone – without having to put in any more money!\nThis has to be one of the easiest ways to get some extra funds to play with into your account, without having to whip out your card again.\nFurthermore, if a casino is willing to reward you just for verifying your phone number, that’s a good sign that they value their players very highly and are likely to continue to give lots of incentives to their existing player base.\nWhile email verification is usually a requirement to even sign up to an online casino these days, some sites reward you for this action alone. This is unquestionably the easiest way to earn free spins, as it’s a matter of clicking a link in your inbox; the only downside might be that you receive marketing and promotions from them from time to time.\nIt isn’t as common for slots sites to give bonuses for this alone, but amazingly they do exist!\nFrustratingly, it sometimes seems like the only way to bank some free spins is to sign up to yet another casino.\nBut are there actually any sites that reward their existing players with free spins from time to time? Do casinos even value their player base anymore?\nAlthough many casinos are guilty of offering big welcome bonuses to reel players in and then just abandoning them once they’re a ‘first time depositor’, there are in fact a few quality operators in the industry that are renowned for their player retention – in other words, for how well they treat their players.\nHere are a few different ways the best online casinos dish out free spins to their existing player base:\nIf you want to give slots a serious shot, then we would definitely recommend signing up to a casino where you will be given rewards and bonuses, even after you’ve deposited money for the first time.\n“Sign up and get 50 free spins!”\nSounds simple enough right?\nWell, there are actually quite a few nuances when it comes to understanding free spins bonuses…\nWe’ve compiled every detail you need to know about these bonuses and what caveats you could run into:\nOne tactic to beat wagering requirements is to place big bets, get lucky, and meet the requirements almost instantaneously. Unfortunately, most casinos are smart enough to know that many players like to implement this strategy and therefore tend to implement ‘bet limits’ when you’re still completing your bonus or wagering your winnings.\nOn the bright side, however, when doing smaller bets you get more enjoyment out of playing the slots and are spreading your risk out.\nAnother really important thing to consider is how long you actually have to complete the bonus.\nWhile the normal time limit you have to complete a free spins bonus is 7 days, some casinos, such as BGO, give you as little as 24 hours! Therefore, we recommend that you use your free spins as quickly as possible.\nOn the other hand, other casinos split your free spins bonus across multiple days. Therefore, if you were given 100 free spins on a casino site, they might only give you 10 a day, meaning that you would have to log in every day in order to claim the full bonus.\nAlthough free spins are exciting because of the prospect of winning a lot without having spent anything, certain casinos do in fact have ‘win limits’ from your free spins bonuses.\nThis means that you might only be able to make a maximum of £100-£200 from your free spins – but I don’t think you would be complaining about that, right?\nNevertheless, it would certainly be frustrating if you were to win a jackpot and have your winnings capped. Therefore, an extra thing to look out for is casinos with no winning caps! With 888 Casino’s sign up offer, if you win the jackpot using their free spins, you’re allowed to keep it all!\nMost casinos will only allow one account per IP address or household, meaning that if someone else in your house has already signed up to a casino and used the bonus, then it is unlikely that you will be able to as well.\nCertain games do not contribute towards wagering requirements. See the section below for more details.\nLike most welcome offers, free spins often have ‘wagering requirements’ attached to any winnings you get from them. Not only that but many casinos ‘cap’ the maximum winnings you can get from them, which can make the amount you’re actually given seem misleading.\nSometimes these wagering requirements are unavoidable and you have to just wager the required amount on a game that gives you the best return possible so that you have the best chance of actually beating them.\nHowever, you need to check the specific bonus terms for each offer you sign up to, as it is likely that certain games won’t count towards the wagering requirements. For example, most table games such as roulette usually won’t contribute, and certain slot games with an excessively high RTP might not be included either.\nAn example is the slot ‘Blood Suckers’, which is notorious for having an outstanding 98% RTP. While this is a great slot to play on if you’re just playing regularly, most casinos will have it excluded from contributing towards bonuses due to it being the highest returning slot game in the world.\nTypically, these types of offers will only give you a small number of spins that are worth a few pounds in total. But at least you can actually take your winnings out!\nPerhaps you have a favourite slots game you like to play and you’re specifically looking for a casino that will offer you free spins for that particular game?\nHere are some of the most common slots games that free spins are offered on and where you can find them.\nStarburst is probably the most common game which slot sites offer free spins for. It’s a fan-favourite and has a great RTP of 98%.\nAnother fantastic slots game is Book of Dead, which is renowned for being a top-quality high variance game. If you’re looking to defeat high wagering requirements, then Book of Dead is usually a great option.\nPerhaps the biggest fan favourite of all due to its great RTP and gameplay, free spins on rainbow riches are still offered at some online casinos.\nCertain casinos offer free spins on their own ‘exclusive’ slot games, such as Mr Green and Virgin Games.\nEven though ‘more’ isn’t always better when it comes to free spins, it is still worth asking the question of where can you get the most free spins?!\nWe’ve all seen offers such as ’10 free spins’ which are legit, or on the contrary offers such as ‘300 free spins’, but you have to deposit a huge amount and meet ridiculous wagering requirements. We know which of the two we prefer.\nBut what is the highest amount of free spins you can get without having to deposit anything?\nSure, you might be able to get 300 free spins at this casino, 500 at the next… But an important thing to ask yourself is this: What are they actually worth?\nTypically you’ll find that in the UK they tend to be worth about £0.10.\nHaving said that, we’ve seen them range anywhere from £0.01 all the way to £0.50 each! This is a huge difference and should certainly be another factor to consider, in addition to the number of spins and the presence of wagering requirements.\nIt goes without saying that free spins are UNDOUBTEDLY the most sought after slots bonus in the UK, simply due to the fact that the concept of getting something for nothing is just enticing to us humans.\nBut if you do the numbers… Are they really the best slot bonus?\nThe answer: it depends.\nThe main question you have to ask yourself is this: how much are you looking to gamble on slots?\nIf you only want to spend a few quid and want to come out with a small, quick profit using free spins, then absolutely go for it!\nBut if you’re more of a high roller and want to have a decent crack at slots, is 30 free 10p spins really going to mean anything for you? Probably not.\nTherefore, if you’re this type of player, then finding a decent deposit match offer at a casino that rewards its existing players and has a great reputation is going to give you a much better playing experience and RTP than getting a few pounds out of free spins. Hopefully, this helps!\nLet’s get to the bottom line. Can you actually win and withdraw real money by taking advantage of free spins bonuses?\nThe truth is that with every bonus offer out there, there is a chance that you will be able to withdraw money from the free spins…\nHowever, certain types of ‘free spins’ promotions give you an incredibly slim chance of actually being able to withdraw the money, whereas with others it is virtually guaranteed!\nLet’s take an example. Let’s say you get 50 free spins worth £0.10 each and manage to win £20 from them. Not a bad return, right?\nHowever, the winnings you get from these spins actually have a 30x wagering requirement along with them. What does this mean? Well, you have to wager the £20 you won at least 30 times, meaning that you would have to make £600 worth of bets with that £20 just to be able to withdraw what you have left!\nI think it goes without saying that it is highly likely that you would just lose your full bonus, but of course, you do still have a chance. The lower the requirements, the better the odds of you actually being able to keep your money.\nBut after all, these are still free spins, so if you’re at least having a bit of fun playing with them with the possibility of actually being able to keep some decent money, then it’s not really an issue!\nBut what is the type of free spins bonus that allows you to withdraw your money virtually every time?!\nYou guessed it: bonuses with NO wagering requirements.\nIn other words, whatever you win from the free spins, you get to keep. Simple as that.\nOf course, these offers don’t tend to be as enticing in terms of the number of spins they give you or the value of them, but at least you’re pretty much guaranteed to be able to take something out, right?\nEven if you do have to deposit say £10 to be able to qualify for the free spins, you can easily just withdraw the full amount including your initial deposit after you have used them all up.\nHere are a few casinos who have absolutely no wagering requirements on their free spins offers:\nUnderstandably, many players prefer to play slots on their phones. It’s more convenient. However, it’s no secret that a lot of casinos are lacking when it comes to the ‘mobile’ side of things, which begs the question as to whether any of them actually run any decent free spins offers for mobile?\nFortunately, there are a number of casinos which have an excellent mobile app and have great free spins bonuses to get with it. Some of them may allow you to claim the bonus on mobile, but might not have an app to go with it and therefore the playing experience might just not be good enough.\nFree spins are a common bonus offered by casinos that allow you to play real money slots without having to spend any actual money yourself. Casinos typically offer these as a signup offer and they sometimes have wagering requirements.\nThe most common way to get free spins is as a sign up bonus for certain casinos. However, some casinos allow players to claim free spins through slot tournaments, competitions and loyalty rewards as well.\nNot all free spins bonuses are made equal. Avoid bonuses with absurdly high wagering requirements unless they offer a very high amount of spins. Spins with no wagering requirements are always worth it.", "domain": "hobby"}

The decision we have made is extremely difficult but in the current situation, the only right one. Taking into account both the current legal status of the organization of mass events, as well as the desire to ensure maximum safety for you, the participants as well as for volunteers, fans, our partners, technical teams and our entire staff, we cannot do otherwise. We also don't want to postpone this decision, hoping that it will allow everyone to minimize the costs and revise your calendar well in advance.\nGRAN FONDO GDYNIA VIRTUAL RACE\nHowever, we know that you miss the emotions of racing or even training together. Therefore - hoping that next season we will meet on the beautiful Kashubian routes of Gran Fondo Gdynia \"in real life\" - we invite you to the Gran Fondo Gdynia Virtual Race, this May. Below you will find some details of our proposal.\n- The Gran Fondo Gdynia Virtual Race will be held on Rouvy app. The Gran Fondo Gdynia course has recently been filmed specifically for this purpose and will be available to users of Rouvy from May onwards. You will be able to feel Kashubia in your home and... in your legs! Every uphill and every downhill.\n- Two forms of participation in the Gran Fondo Gdynia Virtual Race will be available:\na) Challenge available from May 1 - May 31 for owners of any trainer.\nb) Virtual race with open and age group classifications for owners of smart trainers.\n- Participants registered for this year's Gran Fondo Gdynia can take part in the Gran Fondo Gdynia Virtual Race without any additional payments. They will receive the official race jersey and the finisher medal (sent by courier at the expense of the organizer) plus 30 days of full access to the Rouvy app.\n- Those who have not registered to the Gran Fondo Gdynia 2020, can still sign up for the Gran Fondo Gdynia Virtual Race with an entry fee of 100 PLN. The same finisher medal (courier service) and 30 days of full access to Rouvy will be included in the fee.\nOTHER OPTIONS FOR ATHLETES\nFor those who are not interested in participating in the Gran Fondo Gdynia Virtual Race, we have prepared the following options:\n- Free shipping of the official Gran Fondo Gdynia 2020 race jersey to the address provided.\n- Refunding the entry fee reduced by the administration fee of 100 PLN. The administration fee is intended to cover the costs of the already executed work of the organizing staff and other expenses related to the promotion and organisation of Gran Fondo Gdynia 2020.\nIf the fee is returned, it is also possible to transfer the amount declared by the competitor to a charity collection supporting the rehabilitation of Ryszard Szurkowski. So far, we have collected over 12 000 PLN for this purpose! Thank you!\nRegardless of the option chosen by the rider, anyone can apply for a refund of extra services such as medal engraving, starting kit home delivery or finisher photos. However, it is impossible to receive a refund of the cancellation insurance.\nAll the merch orders – incl. official Gran Fondo Gdynia bib shorts and socks – will be realized.\nWHAT TO DO\nEach registered participant will soon receive an email with a link to a short survey in which they will declare their chosen solution. We will keep you informed about the next steps.\nTo receive a refund for extra services or in case of any other questions, please contact firstname.lastname@example.org.\nLET’S GO THROUGH THIS TOGETHER!\nIn these difficult weeks, we wish that all of you stayed safe, healthy and positive. We don’t worry about the perseverance of the cyclists. Take care, train at home and we do hope to meet you on the cycling routes very soon. We also count on your attending on Rouvy during the Gran Fondo Gdynia VR! This will be an invaluable support and a positive signal for us during this difficult time for the whole sporting sector. And a new and very positive experience, which - who knows - we may continue in the future!\nYour Gran Fondo Gdynia Team", "domain": "hobby"}

I could try essentially without risk.\nTwo, I had participated in the phone sessions you had given a couple years ago on the focus wheel and also seen you live a few times. I knew that you were the ‘real thing’, that you had practiced these processes and you knew your way around them. I was interested to see a fleshed out, structured version of what Abraham was doing, with some new insights and points of view that had come out of your experience.\nAbraham is unique in many ways; one of them is that there is no ‘lineage’, no official ‘advanced students’, no organization to speak of, with ‘certified instructors’ and that sort of thing. There is no graduated program of white belt/green belt/black belt, or even a consistent boxing model of ‘learn these techniques, practice, get in better shape, spar, get in better shape, work the heavy bag, do some more drills, get in better shape, don’t flinch when punched, and get better organically without the colored-belt steps’. The current Abraham approach is more similar to boxing than to the very structured Tae Kwon Do belts.\nSo I saw you as a creative innovator, loyal and true to the purity of Abraham while also embellishing that a bit with your own insights. I wanted to go deeper, in a way that would augment my current ‘program’ of listening to hours and hours of Abraham and soaking it up ‘organically’.\nYou offered a ‘doing’ that seemed like a great complement to listening, sort of a ‘belt training’ approach maybe.", "domain": "hobby"}

I'm a young Singaporean guy who's passionate about two things: Texan smoked barbecue and Japanese cuisine.\nMy journey took me all the way to Austin, Texas, where I trained myself in the outback smokehouse of LeRoy and Lewis Barbecue. I learned the secrets of crafting exceptional smoked dishes, from briskets to beef cheeks. Bringing this expertise back to Singapore, I knew I had a mission to fulfill – to introduce my hometown to the incredible taste of authentic Texan smoked barbecue.\nBut that's just one part of the story. Singapore's culinary scene is a vibrant blend of cultures, and Japanese food holds a special place here. Inspired by this, I dared to dream bigger. I envisioned a culinary experience that fuses the robustness of Texan barbecue with the refined artistry of Japanese cooking. And that's how Kemuri Tex Jap BBQ was born – a place where smoky barbecue meets the tidy precision of Japanese cuisine.\nSo, as you explore our menu, I hope you’ll discover the magic that happens when these two worlds collide. Imagine savoring the tender smoked bacon that's braised and infused with Japanese spices. Picture the delectable pairing of brisket with a rich Japanese demi glaze.\nBut this journey isn't just about flavors; it's about heart and soul. It's about my mission to bring you an experience that's both familiar and exhilaratingly new. It's about sharing my passion for smoked barbecue and the intricacies of Japanese cuisine, all on a single plate.\nSo come join us at Kemuri Tex Jap BBQ.

Yes, it is. An espalier is an innovative way to soften a brick wall, a trellis or even a chain link fence. If space permits, consider using more than one tree. The Red Jewel crabapple trees on the Visitor Center are espaliered into basic Y-shapes that are then extended into a diamond pattern.\nEarly spring is the best time to begin your espalier. First, choose a small 3- to 4-foot whip growing on dwarf rootstock. Prune the whip back to two strong buds (this may mean you actually prune back half the whip). Rub out all buds below this cut. Plant the whip no more than 12 inches from the wall. Best results are obtained when the tree is trained against a support (such as bamboo stakes) rather than directly against the brick. Secure these stakes to the wall and tie the whip to the bamboo using soft ties. Two new shoots will begin to grow from the two buds. Train these shoots by gently pulling them apart into a V-shape and securing them to bamboo stakes.\nIn winter, prune these secondary branches back by half. This will create a nice flush of leaves below the cut. This last pruning will also stimulate a third pair of branches that can be trained into the diamond pattern or pruned out completely if you simply want to keep a Y-shape. Avoid heavy fertilizing, which will produce more vegetative growth and little fruiting growth.", "domain": "hobby"}

Flavours mesh light and frisky, more of the sour cherry and wild herb, though there’s a distinct stony minerality that trails long through the wine’s epic length. Texture here is incredible. So much detail in the wine too. An outstanding wine. 97 Points – Drink 2020 – 2035. Mike Bennie, The Wine Front.", "domain": "hobby"}

The 1st thing you have to do is mount the bracket to the box, which is a lot harder than it sounds. It's only 4 bolts, but the 2 at the bottom of the bracket were a pain. A socket wouldn't fit, and an open end wrench was too wide and a box end was too thick. So I made a tool by grinding an 11/16\" box end wrench down pretty darn thin. I put it on and ran it tight with my impact. I was feeling pretty good...until I realized that with everything tightened up, there's no room to get the wrench off since the bolt sticking through is too close to the bracket. No problem, I loosened up the nut and got the wrench off. Then I cut a small pie shaped piece out of the box end so i could slip it off the bolt after everything was tight. It looked kind of like a skinny flare wrench by the time I was finished. Not the prettiest specialty tool made, but very effective. Once I got done with that, I had about an 1/8\" off the box that hung over the mounting bracket. Hit it with the grinder and took it down flush, this will enable me to mount the box flush against the frame.\nTo install the box on the frame I need to do a couple more things. I decided to replace the Pitman arm seal on the steering box. When I pulled the old Toyota arm off, I had to use a little heat on it so I was a little concerned that I may have melted the seal a little bit. Plus, who knows how old the original was? So I dug out the old seal and went to get it replaced. Ordered one at NAPA, but the one they showed me wasn't the same as the one I took out so I didn't buy it. Still need to find the right one and put it in. Paint the box and bracket and I'm in business. I'll take some pictures of everything if I get another chance to work on it soon.", "domain": "hobby"}

No drop-in replacement appears to exist. An alternative is to purchase the 74HC7014D in SOIC, and use a SOIC-14 to DIP-14 adapter. If you are not comfortable with a small amount of SMT soldering, or simply want the convenience, an adapter with pre-soldered IC can be ordered from Proto Advantage using Digikey part number 1727-6342-1-ND.\nCheck that your kit contains all of the parts listed in the BOM above before starting. All components of the DU-RDT are through-hole parts, and the placement is largely obvious from the drill footprint and silkscreen. Pay attention to the resistor values and the orientations of the diodes, LEDs, and ICs. The soldering order is not critical; the suggested order tries to make it easy to solder some of the more tightly spaced components while adding the more fragile semiconductor components later in the process. Note that the 78L05 is optional, and should not be populated when using the 16-pin bus header.\nStep 1: Eurorack bus header\nThe 16-pin Eurorack bus header is the only component soldered to the back of the PCB, as indicated by the silkscreen outline. Solder this header first, as shown. Make sure it is flush against the PCB.\nOptional: If you do not have a 5V rail on your Eurorack bus, you may use a 10-pin header, soldered to the bottom 5 pairs of pads, and add a 78L05 voltage regulator in TO-92 package (not supplied in the kit) where labeled.\nStep 2: Register delay selector switches\nSolder the two large 8-position rotary selector switches to their positions at the top-center of the PCB. The curved spring portion should be oriented upward. Solder the side tabs first, then the pins.\nStep 3: Pattern lock switch\nSolder the 6-pin pushbutton switch to its position directly below the two selector switches. It has a locator peg that should fit the corresponding hole in the PCB to ensure correct orientation. Make sure it is flush against the PCB.\nStep 4: IC sockets\nSolder all five 14-pin DIP sockets. Ensure that the notched end of the sockets are oriented according to the silkscreen, and that they are flush against the PCB.\nStep 5: Decoupling capacitors\nSolder all five decoupling capacitors. Their orientation is not important.\nStep 6: Resistor identification\nThe next step is to begin soldering the resistors, so at this point, take a moment to gather, identify, and sort the resistors in the kit according to the following chart matching color bands to values.\nCheck the resistances with a multimeter if unsure.\nStep 7: Resistors\nAll resistors are mounted vertically, with one lead curved in a U shape so that it is parallel to the other lead. The resistor body (i.e. the straight lead) will sit in the circle marked on the silkscreen. Make sure that the curved leads will not contact the inner surface of the panel! You can use one of the 3.5mm jacks as a guide: the top of the resistor lead should not protrude beyond the height of the black plastic.\nStep 8: Diodes\nSolder all six 1N4148 diodes. They should be oriented such that the stripe on the diode aligns with the stripe on the silkscreen.\nStep 9: Tactile switch\nSolder the 13mm tactile switch in the top left corner of the PCB. Its orientation is not important.\nStep 10: Input jacks\nSolder the four input jacks along the left side of the PCB. Ensure that they are flush against the PCB.\nStep 11: LEDs\nInsert the LEDs into their spacers and solder to the locations shown. Ensure that the long (positive) lead is oriented according to the + symbol on the silkscreen. When soldering, take care to keep the LEDs straight and vertical, and make sure there is snug contact between the PCB surface, spacer, and bottom surface of the LED body.\nStep 12: Transistors\nSolder the five 2N3904 transistors to the locations shown, ensuring the orientation matches the silkscreen.\nStep 13: Output jacks\nSolder the five output jacks along the right side of the PCB. Ensure that they are flush against the PCB.\nStep 14: IC seating\nInsert each of the five ICs to the correct socket on the PCB (the part number visible on the silkscreen through the socket should match the part number on the IC). Ensure that the orientation is correct; the notched end or the end marked with a dot should be aligned with the notched end of the socket.\nStep 15: Front panel\nCarefully place the front panel over the switches, jacks, and LEDs. Screw the supplied washer and nut onto each of the two rotary switches and tighten them down. Screw the supplied knurled nuts onto each of the 3.5mm jacks and tighten them down. Add the D-shaft knobs to the rotary switches and press down carefully until they are fully seated. Add the black switch cap to the pushbutton switch and press down until it snaps on fully.\nStep 16: Power cable\nTightly crimp the IDC connectors to the ends of the ribbon cable as show in the image, ensuring that the key is facing inward, and that the arrow aligns with the red stripe. Fold the ribbon cable back over the top of the connector, and snap on the strain relief clip.", "domain": "hobby"}

However, when it comes to window tinting, you have a choice between doing it yourself or hiring a professional. In this article, we’ll explore the pros and cons of DIY vs. professional window tinting, and what you need to know before making a decision.\nDIY Window Tinting:\nDIY window tinting involves purchasing tint film and installing it yourself, typically with the help of a kit or instructions. While DIY tinting can be a cost-effective option, there are several factors to consider before attempting it yourself.\nSkill and Experience:\nOne of the most important factors to consider before attempting DIY window tinting is your skill and experience level. Applying tint film requires precision and attention to detail, and mistakes can be costly. If you’re not confident in your ability to apply the tint film correctly, it may be best to leave it to the professionals.\nAnother consideration when it comes to DIY window tinting is equipment. While some tint film kits come with basic tools, such as a squeegee and razor blade, you may need additional equipment to get the job done right. This can include a heat gun, specialized blades, and more. This additional equipment can add to the cost of DIY tinting and make it more complicated.\nQuality of the Tint Film:\nThe quality of the tint film you use can also impact the success of your DIY window tinting project. Cheaper tint films may be more prone to bubbling, peeling, or fading over time, which can make your tint job look unprofessional and require additional maintenance or replacement.\nProfessional Window Tinting:\nProfessional window tinting involves hiring a trained and experienced technician to install tint film on your windows. While professional tinting may be more expensive upfront, there are several advantages to this option as well.\nOne of the biggest advantages of professional window tinting is the expertise of the technicians. Professional tinting companies have trained and experienced professionals who know how to apply the tint film correctly and ensure a high-quality result. This can give you peace of mind knowing that your tint job will be done correctly.\nEquipment and Materials:\nProfessional window tinting companies also have access to high-quality materials and equipment. This means that they can use top-of-the-line tint film that is more durable and long-lasting than what you may find at a local store. Additionally, they have the necessary tools and equipment to ensure a smooth and even application.\nAnother advantage of professional window tinting is the warranty that often comes with it. Most professional tinting companies offer a warranty on their workmanship and the tint film itself. This can provide you with added protection and peace of mind knowing that you are covered in case something goes wrong.\nFinally, professional window tinting ensures a consistent look and feel throughout your windows. A trained technician can ensure that the tint film is applied evenly and uniformly, which can be difficult to achieve with DIY tinting. This can improve the overall aesthetics of your vehicle or home and make your tint job look more professional.\nWhen it comes to window tinting, there are pros and cons to both DIY and professional options. DIY tinting may be more cost-effective, but it requires skill, experience, and additional equipment. Professional tinting may be more expensive, but it provides expertise, high-quality materials, a warranty, and a consistent result. Ultimately, the choice comes down to your personal preference and the level of quality and expertise you want for your window tinting job.

And when it comes to tiling, you can rest assured that retro and antique tiles can breathe new life into your project.\nVintage is a popular look for those who want bring a sense of retro to their projects. To start getting to grips with the past, though, you need a sound understanding of the world of vintage tiling chic, so let’s get started.\nAntique Tiles: The Different Styles\nVintage tiles are highly popular right now, so you’re probably itching to find out a little bit more about the tiles available.\nHere are a few of the most popular vintage styles currently waiting to take your project to the next level:\n- Victorian Tiles – Popular designs for Victorian style tiles tend to embrace artwork which takes in subject matter such as animals and topiary designs. Sometimes these designs will be fully confined to an individual tile, but more grand designs – such as game birds – can be created from a mosaic style pattern to decorate floor spaces. To grant a more authentic aged feeling, Victorian tiles often come with a crackled glaze finish.\n- 1970s Tiles – It may not seem that long ago, but the 1970s were over 40 years ago now and, as such, are suitably vintage. Now, the key feature of 70s tiles is the patterns, the ever repeating patterns. One of the most popular patterns for these vintage tiles is the floral print and, when it comes to colours, earthy shades of brown, yellow, orange and green perfectly capture the decade’s style.\n- Art Deco Tiles – Synonymous with the sights and sounds of the 1920s, the Art Deco movement remains ever popular with designers. Its success is down to achieving that rare feat of combining grand designs which have a unique simplicity. A wall of plain white tiles, for example, can suddenly be elevated when topped with a border of black ornamental tiles. Other popular designs include angular shapes arranged in geometric patterns which primarily use whites, creams, browns, beiges, orange and yellows.\nHow to Source Antique Tiles?\nNow that you understand what some of the popular retro tile styles are, the next step is to figure out where you can source them from. Thankfully, there are a number of options available to you such as:\n- Sourcing Genuine Antiques: If you want to genuinely capture that vintage tile feel, it pays to source originals. Therefore, auctions and reclamation years can be an excellent option.\n- Buy Replica Tiles: The antique style is very big at the moment, so almost all tile manufacturers will carry a vintage range. This is the most affordable option as they’re off the shelf products and are mass produced.\n- Go the Bespoke Route: You may have a specific retro style you’re trying to create, but there’s not always an off the shelf option available. In these cases, working with bespoke tile manufacturers is the best option for making your design into a reality.\nAs global sourcing specialists, SRK UK has extensive experience finding all types of commercial tiles for our customers. We work with customers to understand their exact needs, and then find the most suitable manufacturers for them.\nIf you’d like more information on how we can help on your next project, don’t hesitate to get in touch.", "domain": "hobby"}

The GRIGRI 2 works equally well for lead climbing and top-roping. It may be used on all single dynamic 8.9 to 11 mm ropes on the market (optimized for 9.4 mm to 10.3 mm ropes). The belay technique is identical to classic belay technique, and the assisted braking capability facilitates arresting falls. A fall is stopped by tightening the hand on the free end of the rope. During fall arrest, the belayer holds the free end of the rope, the cam pivots and pinches the rope, increasing the braking action until the rope stops sliding. The GRIGRI 2 has a new design that allows excellent control during the descent. One hand holds the rope and the other uses the handle to unlock the cam. The patented handle design allows a very gradual release of the rope. In combination with the strong braking action of the cam, it gives a great feeling of security when lowering a partner or rappelling. Built with a stainless steel friction plate and cam to ensure a long life for the device as well as being light weight. Diagrams for rope installation are engraved on the GRIGRI 2 (interior and exterior). Behind every great send, there's a great belayer.

Often times, these areas are found in a quaint coffee house or an old library. But what about in your home? Here are a few things to think about when creating your dream, reading corner.\n• Space: You may need several shelves for your books, but your nooks only need a little bit of space. It should be somewhere quiet and inviting either inside your home or even in your back yard. No matter your decorum, reading nooks generally take up a small fraction of a room or outdoor area.\n• Lighting: Make use of any lighting you find comfortable. You may opt for natural lighting by using a sunlight, large window, skylight or simply setting your nook up outside. If you want to get that quiet, somber, library feel, try using a small, free-standing light with a soft bulb or fix a little lamp to the wall close to your seat. Try to avoid using candles or dimly lit bulbs unless they’re supplemental to your main light source. This will make sure you avoid eyestrain so you can keep enjoying your space without the headache!\n• Chairs and Tables: The seating in your nook should be comfortable and cozy. Smaller seating options may be your best bet when looking to unwind and relax. Adding wood or wood-like side tables with a dark stain can help give you that rustic feel. If you’d prefer a simpler, more modern corner, try sleek neutral colors for your table. These can be found in almost any material.\n• Sound: For those that love reading while listening to soft music, you could use a nice set of earbuds or headphones. If you’d prefer to have your ears free, a quality sound system with small “hotspot” speakers may do just the trick.\nA reading corner doesn’t need a lot of space, but placement strategy is key. Here are a few ideas to get you started.\n• Armchair Plus Floor Lamp: One way to get the perfect lighting without windows is to place a floor lamp and an armchair in a corner. You’ll have a perfect corner for reading – simple, well-lit, and classic. Some floor lamps come with a built-in table, which can save you space if you want to keep everything consolidated.\n• Children's Reading Corner: The youngest household members can also have a corner of the room designed to encourage reading. Only a small armchair or even a beanbag or poof is needed and can be placed in the most illuminated part of the room.\n• Chair by the Window: A chair by the window is the simplest way to put together a corner for reading. Complement it with a few shelves and decorations, and you’ll have a modern and neat cove for your reading time.\n• Built-ins: If you have more space, install a window seat or bench in front of a window. Top it with a comfortable cushion and throw pillows. Use shelving below as an organizer that can be used to store books or other objects. The shelving can also be used as a neat table, too!\nNow that you have a few tips and tricks under your belt, go set up your reading nook! If you’re in the market for a new home with little areas that can be used as your own, personal escape, give me a call. I’d love to help you find your perfect nook in your perfect home.", "domain": "hobby"}

I hope you’ve had a great week - mine was filled with an excessive amount of pavlovas. I’ve made 16 in the last two weeks on the quest to find the perfect pavlova recipe (perfect to me anyway), which is, to me, a super fluffy, full interior, and a perfect, pale, but thick crusted exterior.\nI grew up eating pavlova - I come from a huge family, and so there were at least two at every gathering, and it is my Mum’s go-to dessert, so I’ve probably had hundreds over the course of my life, but it wasn’t until I moved away from home that it ever occurred to me to make my own, and I’ve been on a bit of a mission to develop the perfect one since, but never really got around to it until this week.\nPavlovas can be notoriously fussy, particularly when it comes to the weather. It is super humid in NYC and so I wanted to develop something that would stand up to the humidity, and so I turned to Swiss Meringue. Pavlova is traditionally made with a french meringue (egg whites and sugar whipped together), while a Swiss meringue involves cooking together the egg whites and sugar over a water bath before whipping them up. This additional step creates a much more stable meringue, which is much more forgiving, and much more resistant to humidty than a French meringue. I made the one in the photos while it was pouring down with rain, and it came out perfectly!\nWhen I was developing this recipe, my focus was more on getting that nice thick exterior crust and a super full inside, rather than worrying too much about the pavlova cracking. Cracking is just something that happens sometimes, and to be honest, it’s not the end of the world. I was able to get a crack-free outer by keeping the temperature super low and baking the pavlova for a long time, but the inside slumped down and I was left with a hollow pavlova, which wasn’t as nice to eat.\nThe majority of my testing was playing around with the bake times and temperatures of the pavlova. Too high and the pavlova would come out too golden and would get a little slumpy, and too low and it wouldn’t get totally crispy before the inside filling started to drop down. Initially I was testing without the addition of lemon juice and corn starch, as I figured the meringue was already stable from the cooking, but I added it in after a few tests and found that it made a huge difference in how pale the outside of the pavlova stayed, and also how full the interior was. 2 tsp of each seemed to be the perfect amount - just enough to help stabilise but not enough to make the meringue chalky or overly lemony in flavour.\nOnce I had the perfect base, it of course deserved the perfect topping, and I went for a double hit of Kiwiana - Zespri Sungold Kiwifruit, and Comvita Manuka Honey. I made a honey whipped cream, which is exactly what it sounds like, and because there is no heat involved, you get all the good stuff from the Manuka Honey. Comvita has a whole range of beautiful honeys - I used the UMF 5+ (they have a bunch of other varieties too), and it was perfect to lightly sweeten the cream while providing such a nice delicate honey flavour.\nKiwifruit is a pretty traditional pavlova topping - I like the green ones, but the golden ones are my favourite. They are bald as opposed to furry, so you can eat the skin, and they are a bit sweeter than the green. They were the perfect accompaniment to the whipped cream, and the slight tartness cut through the sweetness of the pavlova so well. You could also do a mix of the green and the golden if you liked, for some colour variation. Perfect Pavlova, Honey whipped cream, and beautiful yellow Kiwifruit are the dream team.\nI hope you give this pavlova a go! x\nA few wee tips:\nYour Grandma / Mum / Dad / Grandad / Friend might have a great no-fail pavlova recipe too and that’s all good! This is just another version.\n200g of egg whites is about 6 eggs worth, just for when you are working out approximately how much you need!\nYou can eat the skin of a Sungold Kiwifruit! I left it on for colour contrast when I was shooting, but you can take it off too if you like.\nPavlova is great to make ahead - once you have made it, store in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap (just wrap the whole tray up), until you serve.\nAssemble the pavlova close to serving if you can, to help prevent it from going too soggy when the cream comes in contact with the meringue.\nMake sure your oven is the correct temperature! If you bake this too hot the outside will go a wee bit golden, or the inside will slump down. Baking for too long causes the inside filling to separate from the crust and you will have a wee gap. It will still taste delicious, but might be a little bit hollow. I really recommend getting an oven thermometer just to make sure your oven is calibrated.\nI cooked this on conventional, not on fan. If your oven only has fan, you will need to adjust the temperature a little.\nThe eggs get cooked over the water bath with the sugar, so there is no need for them to be at room temperature - straight from the fridge is fine!\nMake sure your mixing bowl is nice and clean so that the meringue whips up nicely! You can clean it with soap and water and allow to dry thoroughly, or you can wipe the inside down with a piece of lemon to help remove any specks of grease.\nMy stand mixer bowl is metal, so I just cook the meringue in the water bath directly in the bowl. If yours is not, just use a heatproof bowl for the water bath and then transfer.\nHave your cornflour and lemon juice all ready to go in! I like to prep them while the meringue is whipping.\nI haven’t tried making this with a hand mixer but it would probably be ok! You just want to whip until you have really stiff peaks. It will likely take longer than 4 minutes, so just watch carefully.\nPerfect Swiss Meringue Pavlova with Manuka Honey Whipped Cream\n- Makes one Pavlova - serves about 8 -\nSwiss Meringue Pavlova\n200g egg whites\n350g granulated sugar\n1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste\n2 tsp corn starch (cornflour if you are in in NZ)\n2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice\nManuka Honey Whipped Cream\n350g heavy whipping cream\n45g Comvita Manuka Honey\n1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste\nPinch of Kosher salt, to taste\n6-7 Zespri Sungold Kiwifruit, to finish, cut into wedges (peeled or unpeeled depending on preference - you can eat the skin, I decided to keep it on for presentation but you can peel them too if you like)\n- PROCESS -\nSWISS MERINGUE PAVLOVA\nPreheat the oven to 335°f / 170°c (conventional, not fan bake). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and draw an 8” (20cm) circle on it using a round object (I used a cake pan). Set aside while you are making the meringue.\nIn the bowl of a stand mixer (see notes), or in a heatproof bowl, combine the egg whites, sugar, and vanilla bean paste, and whisk well to combine. Set the bowl over a small pan of simmering water to make a double boiler - make sure that the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl.\nWhisking constantly, heat the egg and sugar mixture until it reads 170°f / 76°c on an instant read thermometer, and the sugar has dissolved. Carefully transfer the bowl to the stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (be careful grabbing it as it will be hot).\nWhip the mix on high speed for 4 minutes, until stiff peaks have formed that are just starting to clump inside the whisk. This may take a little longer depending on your mixer’s motor capability. Turn the mixer to low, add in the lemon juice and corn starch, then whip on high speed for a further minute to ensure that the mix is well combined.\nUsing a little of the meringue on an offset spatula or spoon, place a blob in each corner of the baking sheet, and use it to stick down the parchment paper so that it does not move when you are shaping the pavlova.\nScrape out the meringue mixture onto your prepared baking sheet, within the circle that you have drawn. Using an offset spatula, and staying inside the circle, spread out the meringue into a mound, then shape it so that it resembles a short cylinder - I like to make it into a mound first, then use the spatula to shape the edges and make them straight, then smooth off the top. You can go around as many times as needed to get it the right shape. I make mine just a little smaller than the drawn circle. If you would like to leave yours rustic then you can, or you can smooth off the edges and top with your spatula, then using the back of a teaspoon, create ridges by dragging upward on the sides of the pavlova (This video shows the process very well).\nPlace the pavlova in the oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 220°f / 105°c. Bake the pavlova for two hours, then, WITHOUT OPENING THE DOOR, turn off the oven and allow the pavlova to cool in the oven for a minimum of two hours. You can check on it toward the end of the cooling time, but do not open it at the start as you do not want to shock the pavlova, which can cause it to slump. Some cracks on the top and the edges are totally normal. Do not freak out about them. Take this from me, as someone who freaks out about everything - it will be ok. That is what the cream is for.\nRemove the pavlova from the oven and either transfer to a serving platter carefully, or store until serving (see notes).\nMANUKA HONEY WHIPPED CREAM\nPlace the heavy cream, Comvita Manuka Honey, vanilla bean paste, and salt in a large bowl. Using a whisk (I prefer to whip cream by hand as it gives me more control), whip the cream until it is still pillowy, and not quite holding a peak. If you go too far and it looks a little grainy, you can add in a little more liquid cream and mix to combine.\nPrepare your Sungold Kiwifruit - either peel or leave un peeled, and cut into wedges. To do this I slice each end off, then slice the fruit in half vertically, and lay each half cut side down, then slice that lengthwise again, then into wedges.\nWhen you are ready to serve, pile the whipped cream on top of the pavlova, and top with the Kiwifruit. Leave to stand for 5 minutes or so before cutting.\nStore leftovers lightly covered in plastic wrap in the fridge.", "domain": "hobby"}

NFTs have gained significant popularity in the world of digital art, gaming, music, and collectibles. If you’re interested in minting your NFT, here’s a comprehensive, step-by-step guide:\nStep 1: Prepare Your Digital Content\nBefore you can mint an NFT, you need to have a digital file that you want to tokenize. This can be anything from digital art, music, videos, virtual real estate, or any other digital asset you want to represent as an NFT. Ensure that your content is of high quality and in a supported file format.\nStep 2: Choose a Blockchain Platform\nMost NFTs are minted on blockchain platforms that support the creation and trading of non-fungible tokens. Ethereum is the most popular choice for minting NFTs, but there are other blockchain platforms like Binance Smart Chain, Flow, Tezos, and more. Each platform has its own NFT standards (e.g., ERC-721, ERC-1155 for Ethereum) and marketplaces.\nStep 3: Set Up a Wallet\nTo mint an NFT, you’ll need a cryptocurrency wallet that’s compatible with the blockchain platform you’ve chosen. Wallets like MetaMask (for Ethereum), Trust Wallet (for Binance Smart Chain), or Blocto (for Flow) allow you to store and manage cryptocurrencies and NFTs. Download the wallet and create an account if you don’t already have one.\nStep 4: Fund Your Wallet\nTo mint an NFT, you’ll need to pay for the associated transaction fees, known as “gas fees” on Ethereum. Transfer a sufficient amount of cryptocurrency (usually Ether for Ethereum) to your wallet to cover these fees. Ensure that your wallet has enough funds for the minting process.\nStep 5: Choose an NFT Marketplace\nNFT marketplaces are platforms where you can create, mint, buy, sell, and trade NFTs. Some popular NFT marketplaces include OpenSea, Rarible, Mintable, SuperRare, and NBA Top Shot, among others. Choose a marketplace that supports the blockchain you’re using and is compatible with the type of NFT you want to mint.\nStep 6: Connect Your Wallet to the Marketplace\nTo interact with the NFT marketplace, you’ll need to connect your cryptocurrency wallet to it. This allows the marketplace to access your wallet for transactions and NFT management. Typically, you’ll find a “Connect Wallet” or similar option on the marketplace’s website. Follow the instructions to link your wallet.\nStep 7: Mint Your NFT\nThe exact process of minting an NFT may vary slightly depending on the marketplace you choose, but the general steps are as follows:\na. Create a Listing: Start by creating a listing for your NFT on the marketplace. You’ll usually find an option like “Create” or “Mint NFT.” Click on it to begin the minting process.\nb. Upload Your Digital Content: You’ll be prompted to upload the digital file you want to tokenize. This is the content that your NFT will represent. Ensure that the file meets the platform’s requirements in terms of format and size.\nc. Fill in Metadata: Metadata includes information about your NFT, such as its title, description, tags, and any additional details you want to provide. Make your listing informative and engaging to attract potential buyers.\nd. Set Properties: Some NFT marketplaces allow you to set certain properties for your NFT, such as royalties. You can specify a percentage of the sale price that you, as the creator, will receive when your NFT is resold by others.\ne. Review and Confirm: Carefully review all the details of your NFT listing, including the content, metadata, and properties. Ensure everything is accurate and as you want it to appear on the blockchain.\nf. Pay Minting Fees: When you’re satisfied with your listing, you’ll be prompted to pay the minting fees. These fees cover the cost of creating the NFT on the blockchain. Confirm the payment from your wallet.\ng. Wait for Confirmation: After submitting your minting transaction, you’ll need to wait for it to be confirmed on the blockchain. This may take a few minutes to several hours, depending on network congestion.\nStep 8: Your NFT is Minted\nOnce the transaction is confirmed, your NFT is officially minted and recorded on the blockchain. You can view it in your wallet and on the NFT marketplace. Your NFT is now ready for sale or to be showcased in your collection.\nStep 9: Promote Your NFT\nMinting an NFT is just the beginning. To maximize its value and potential sales, consider promoting your NFT on social media, NFT communities, and through various marketing channels. Engage with potential buyers, collectors, and the NFT community to increase visibility.\nStep 10: Manage Your NFT\nKeep track of your NFTs in your wallet and on the marketplace. You can transfer, sell, or showcase your NFT as desired. Remember to handle your private keys and wallet securely to protect your NFTs and associated assets. Here are some additional tips and considerations for managing your NFTs:\nStorage: While your NFT exists on the blockchain, you should also keep your original digital files securely stored. You may need these files for various purposes, including future minting or verification of ownership.\nMarketplace Interaction: Actively engage with the NFT community on the marketplace where you’ve listed your NFT. Respond to comments, participate in discussions, and build a presence to attract potential buyers.\nMarket Pricing: Research the market to set a competitive price for your NFT. Prices for NFTs can vary widely, so consider factors like demand, rarity, and the perceived value of your content.\nRoyalties: Keep track of any royalties you’ve set for your NFT. You’ll receive a percentage of the sale price when your NFT is resold on the marketplace. Make sure you understand the royalty system of the marketplace you’re using.\nSecondary Sales: NFT ownership and sales are transparent on the blockchain. You can see when your NFT is sold and who the new owner is. Consider using NFT tracking tools to monitor secondary sales and collect royalties.\nLegal and Tax Considerations: Depending on your country and the income generated from NFT sales, there may be tax implications. Consult with a tax professional or legal expert to understand your obligations.\nSecurity: Ensure the security of your cryptocurrency wallet, private keys, and access credentials. Use hardware wallets or other secure storage methods to protect your assets.\nCommunity Building: Building a community of supporters and fans can enhance the value of your NFTs. Engage with your audience, create a brand, and consider offering exclusive perks or content to supporters.\nArt Provenance: For artists, NFTs can be used to establish provenance for digital art. This helps ensure the authenticity and ownership history of your work.\nStay Informed: The world of NFTs is continually evolving, with new platforms, standards, and opportunities emerging. Stay informed about developments in the NFT space to adapt your strategies accordingly.\nDiversify: While you may focus on one blockchain or marketplace initially, consider diversifying your NFT portfolio by exploring other platforms and ecosystems. This can help reduce risk and reach a broader audience.\nRemember that the NFT market can be highly competitive, and success may take time. Building a reputation and a following in the NFT community can significantly impact the value and demand for your NFTs.\nLastly, always conduct due diligence and research before getting involved in the NFT space, especially when selecting blockchain platforms, marketplaces, or dealing with significant financial transactions. The NFT market is relatively new and rapidly evolving, so staying informed and cautious is essential to making the most of your NFT minting endeavors.", "domain": "hobby"}

The Throttle body was chosen for the dependability and simplicity. This kit is a bolt-on, simple with ease of troubleshooting with its OBC-1 architecture and uses mostly GM parts available at your local auto parts store. Parts that had to be manufactured are of normal home shop quality and not made on production lines/machine shops to keep the parts affordable.\nBackground: Fuel injection has always been costly for the Corvair mainly because of the Port injection requires costly welding and the manufacture/use of low production parts. This kit uses mostly GM main-line production parts to keep the price low and uses tried and true components for reliability. The dual throttle body has been used before, but was fragmented and used a costly computer to run. This kit uses a GM computer and manufactured parts are of normal supply. Temp control was always a problem due to the wild temp fluctuations of the Air-Cooled engine. We developed a Water Temp Equivalent (WTE) method for the ECM to control and trim the engine. We hope you find this one of the most well thought out, economical and dependable kits ever produced for the Corvair and should provide years of trouble-free service.\nTheory: Carbs and points that control the Corvair and all motors of that era are a compromise. The Carbs give the best fuel mixture at only certain times due the design. Distributors can’t compensate for Temp and use flying weights to control the timing… good, but again a compromise. Fuel Injection w/DIS applies the best fuel mixture and timing for that RPM, Load and Temp. Other sensors also trim the fuel and timing, but those are the basics.\nWhat should I expect?: Ease of starting, good all around performance and better fuel economy. This will not make your worn out engine a good engine. It does not fix burned valves, leaking heads, cracked pistons, etc…. its fuel injection. It maximizes the amount of fuel and spark for the best all around performance and economy based on external factors which a traditional Carb and points can’t do.\nTHINGS YOU NEED TO THINK ABOUT BEFORE YOU START THIS PROJECT......\nDo I have basic automotive skills?/Access to someone who is.\nDo I have an engine that already runs well on carbs and distributor. Fuel Injection will not fix your bad engine. It does not repair bad rings, valves, blown heads, bad distributors gears, etc. If you engine runs like crap and you don't know why? Figure that out first. This project will only be as good as the engine you install it on.\nDoes your fuel tank needs cleaning/replacing? If you have rust/debris in the tank, this will enter the pump and destroy it... period. The injectors have their own filters and do a pretty good job with the small stuff. You only have a fuel sock between you and a $80 pump and not that if you opt for the external pump. (Pump warranty claims are between you and the point of purchase)\nA laptop computer and the USB diag cable is not required, but highly recommended http://www.obd2allinone.com/sc/toplevel.asp?cat=2 You can see everything your engine is doing and can tell in an instant if you have something not working/disconnected, etc. The wiring and all components are checked as a kit (on a running motor) before shipment, but your skills and attention to detail can make this a dream or a nightmare.\nThese kits are basic GM OBDC-1 computer with GM components. If taken to an automotive shop/FLAPS, they can scan this car just like a 94 and below Chevy Truck and get the codes. We have not made any changes that will interfere with the GM code or signals.\nI HAVE MY KIT AND IM IN OVER MY HEAD.......\nWe (Brown Injection Systems, LLC) will provide basic help and troubleshooting, but we will not teach you how to work on your car.

I made incredible friends that I am still friends with and always will be and had amazing coaches. I had a lot of traveling experiences that most kids never get, experiences that were unlike any other. I also made friends through networking opportunities that I got from playing club soccer. The best thing I ever did was get involved with Idaho Rush.\nMaking life-long friends that aren’t a part of their everyday lives is a very rare thing for young kids, most kids find their best friends at school where they are with them all the time. By playing club soccer I was able to make friends that didn’t go to my school and those girls are the best friends I ever made. I looked forward to the days we had practice because not only was I excited to play, but it also meant that we all got to see each other. All of us have graduated and gone off to college now, but we still keep in contact and I still consider them a very important part of my life. The other great thing about Idaho Rush was the coaching staff. All of them were great coaches and more importantly great mentors, I was always able to look up to all the men that coached me and they all taught me valuable lessons that had to do with more than just soccer.\nAlthough practices and games here at home were enough to create a strong bond between my team, nothing made us grow closer that traveling. Club soccer provided so many opportunities to travel around and showcase our talents and knowing that we were in another state representing not only Rush but our home state of Idaho gave us a whole new level of pride. Sometimes it was easy to blame each other for losses but it seemed like when we were away from home, we lost as a team because being somewhere else and wearing a Rush jersey we knew it was something bigger than ourselves. At home, everyone knows the players on the opposing team or at least has an idea of who they are, but when we went away no one knew who we were as individuals they only knew us as Idaho Rush. Traveling made me open my eyes and realize that when I stepped on the field it was no longer about me; I was part of something larger than myself.\nSince I played club soccer, I was also able to meet people from other places and was given opportunities to guest play with out-of-state teams. I played in a local tournament with a team from Hawaii on summer and became very close with the girls as well as the coach. The next two summers the coach called me and asked me to play with them in a tournament in Seattle. Guest playing was a great opportunity and it really expanded my network.\nI loved all of my time playing for Idaho Rush and I wouldn’t have changed any of it. It developed me as a player and also a person and gave me so many cool opportunities. I created friendships that will last a lifetime, learned lessons from coaches that will stay with me forever, had chances to travel and see the bigger picture, and got to meet and play with people from other states. Club soccer was the most important and beneficial part of my childhood.", "domain": "hobby"}

Happy reading on your long flights!\nPrepare Your E-Reader\nTo ensure your e-reader is fully charged, plug it into a power source using the charger provided. Leave it to charge for several hours until the battery indicator shows it is at 100%. To update the software, go to the settings menu on your e-reader and select the “software update” option. Follow the on-screen instructions to download and install any available updates. To organize your e-library, navigate to your library or bookshelf and look for an option to create collections or folders. Tap on this option and then create a new collection or folder by giving it a name. Once created, you can then select books from your library and add them to the appropriate collection or folder. This will help you easily locate and access your favorite books during your journey.\nDownload Reading Apps\nTo check if your e-reader supports reading apps, navigate to the settings menu on your device. Look for an option that mentions “reading apps” or “app store.” Once you have confirmed that your e-reader supports reading apps, proceed to download the ones you prefer. Simply search for the Kindle, Nook, Kobo, or Google Play Books app in the app store and click on “Download” or “Install” to get started. With these popular reading apps, you’ll have access to a wide range of e-books, magazines, and audiobooks to enjoy during your flight.\nConnect to Wi-Fi\nTo connect your e-reader to a Wi-Fi network, follow these steps:\n- Navigate to the settings menu on your e-reader.\n- Look for the Wi-Fi option and select it.\n- A list of available networks will appear.

Happy listening!\nManage Battery Life\nTo manage battery life effectively on long flights, follow these steps:\n- Reduce screen brightness: Lower the brightness level on your e-reader to conserve battery power. Go to the settings menu and adjust the brightness slider to a lower level. For example, set it to around 50% instead of the default maximum brightness.\n- Turn off Wi-Fi when not needed: Wi-Fi connectivity consumes a significant amount of battery life. If you’re not using the internet or downloading new books, disable Wi-Fi to save power. Simply navigate to the settings menu and toggle the Wi-Fi switch to the off position.\n- Activate airplane mode: Putting your e-reader in airplane mode disables all wireless connections, including Wi-Fi and cellular data.

Consider the genre, author, or recommendations from friends. If you’re not sure where to start, here are a few popular options:\n- Fiction: “The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald, “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen, or “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee.\n- Non-fiction: “Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind” by Yuval Noah Harari, “Becoming” by Michelle Obama, or “The Power of Habit” by Charles Duhigg.\n- Dive into the story: Open the book you’ve chosen and let yourself be transported into its world. Engage with the characters, visualize the settings, and let the words come alive in your mind. Take your time to savor each chapter and enjoy the journey the author has created.\n- Expand your knowledge: Reading is not only entertaining but also a great way to learn new things. If you’re reading non-fiction, take notes or highlight important points that resonate with you. Look up additional information or references to deepen your understanding of the subject matter.\n- Make the most of your long flight: If you’re on a long flight, reading can be the perfect way to pass the time. Instead of staring at the seat in front of you, lose yourself in captivating stories or educational books. Before you know it, the flight will be over, and you’ll have enjoyed a productive and enriching journey.\nRemember, your reading journey is a personal experience, so feel free to adapt these steps to your own preferences. Happy reading!\nIn conclusion, incorporating reading apps and features into your e-reader can greatly enhance your reading experience during long flights. By following the steps outlined in this blog post, such as selecting the appropriate e-reader, preparing it in advance, and exploring the different features available, you can guarantee a pleasant journey filled with the sheer pleasure of reading.

There off in the distance is a migrating whale on it's way to Mexico and warm waters to birth it's calf. December and January are a wonderful time to whale watch from the many spectacular coastal trails that offer hillside views of our enigmatic ocean.\nThe days are warm and we enjoy layering up in comfortable sweaters and pullovers to manage the ever changing coastal winds. The light is diffused this time of year, offering dynamic and imaginative views of the Sonoma coast. One of our favorite hikes is located at Gerstle Campground. Park at the lot and stroll along the coastal trail littered with ancient remains of the California seabed. Rocks jut into to the sky with permanent scars of a million years of struggle with nature. Their statuesque sillouhettes take on shapes limited to the depth of imagination. Both animal and human characters come to life dotting the hills, frozen in time, casting shadows on the valley floor. If only they could talk, we might hear tales of mastadons scratching their hides against the rock, polishing it to a smooth gloss that remains today.\nIt is a moderate hike, with the main trail ending at a cove where we stop for lunch and watch the waves, kelp and seals engage in a dance with the ocean swell. For adventurous hikers, you can continue up the coast trail that shadows you in redwoods, their pine needles cushioning your steps. The captivating smell of the redwood and cyprus trees mixed in with the sea air is exhilarating. It is here that we find a solitude and oneness with our earth that connects us to nature and the explorer's spirit.\nI like to describe our coast as \"Nature's Zen garden\", and if you continue to hike the trail I mentioned above, you will find an example of this by means of a waterfall with descending pools of moss covered rocks that gently flow and spill over into a private sea garden of lichen, moss and shell fish. This meditative spot offers both the violent sound of the ocean juxtaposed against the soothing sounds of the waterfall. A contemplative reminder that the world is a balancing act of both chaos and centeredness.\nOur craggy coast with it's crooked teeth smiles lumbering down to the battered surf tide pools is like no other place in the world. The many trails that are scattered along the Sonoma coast with their breathtaking views are a journey back in time. Strolling along these paths, you get the sense of the vastness of our earth and the impermanence of our lives. This remarkable landscape excites the imagination and invigorates the soul and in a sense elevates our consciousness on a journey not unlike the migrating whales, seeking calmness and re-birth in a fast paced world.\nMy wife and I enjoy our hikes and the time we have spent getting to know the Sonoma coast. It offers us a chance to re-connect away from the bustle of the city and share with our guests the many splendid joys the Sonoma coast has to offer. Jenner is a haven for spiritual rejuvination and Artist's View and Painter's Dream is one of many special delights found on our coast. We look forward to your visit and hearing about your experiences and favorite adventures.", "domain": "hobby"}

I’ve tried to stick to information as it relates to gaming only, and focuses on DOS gaming, even though you can certainly use these synths with other retro computers. Keeping it to desktop modules, no pro gear that takes multiple rack units.\nThere are five different types of MIDI modules that you can use with PC games, in order of appearance:\nFM – Frequency Modulation. Only a very few games support FM modules.\nLA – Linear Arithmetic. Many famous late 80’s and early 90’s games use LA synthesis.\nGM – General MIDI. The standard for PC game music before CD audio took over.\nGS – Roland’s extension of General MIDI often labeled as Sound Canvas in games\nXG – Yamaha’s extension of General MIDI used by Final Fantasy VII and VIII on PC\nSince this turned out a bit longer than I expected, here's a table of contents:\n- Roland GM/GS modules (Sound Canvas series)\n- Yamaha GM/XG modules (TG and MU series)\n- Other notable GM modules:\n- Even more GM modules\n- LA modules (Roland MT-32 and variants)\n- FM modules (really just Yamaha SFG-05 and FB-01)\n- Chronological list of modules\nGeneral MIDI and extensions\nBy the time General MIDI rolled around computers were powerful enough not to require any processing by a separate MIDI interface card such as Roland MPU-401 and compatibles, and Sound Blaster 16 would include a port that could be used for both joystick and MIDI output. All you needed was a suitable cable, and that's what you need today. GM devices also work with DOSBox or MiSTer via a USB interface (I recommend Roland UM-ONE mk2 if you’re looking to buy one).\nAs most of the games were composed using Roland Sound Canvas devices, I recommend getting one of those for accurate reproduction of what the composer intended. With over 20 units released over a decade, looks like there’s a lot to choose from, but really there are only 3 major ones as far as gaming use goes:\n1. Roland Sound Canvas SC-55 and variants\nThe original 1991 SC-55 is a classic MIDI module and can be found in numerous variants, released between 1991 and 1993, including:\nSC-55 (1991) – first, GS only model without a GM logo\nSC-55 (1991) – updated model with full GM support, may have GM logo on the front\n“Computer Music” white boxes:\nCM-300 (1991) – same as first SC-55 version but without a screen, GS only\nCM-300 (1991) – updated model with full GM support, may GM logo on the front\nCM-500 (1991) – has both CM-300 and CM-32LN hardware (more in the LA section)\nUpdates and cost-reduced models:\nSC-55 mkII (1993) – slightly improved audio quality and more tones\nSC-55ST (1993) – same as mkII but without a screen and one less MIDI input. Also sold undere the Edirol brand in white\nSC-50 (1994) – same as mkII but without the MT-32 voices\nSC-155 (1992) – a tabletop version of SC-55\nSC-33 (1992) – a tabletop version of SC-55 without the MT-32 voices\nBoss Dr. Synth DS-330 (1992) – Boss branded version of SC-33\nSC-35 (1993) – SC-33 with an integrated sequencer\nAny of these will work for games and sound great. If you have an MT-32 or a variant (again more in part 2) and want to use the MIDI through to chain the modules, you’ll want to get an SC-55 or mkII since they have a convenient button for MT-32 mode. The mode itself does not really work for MT-32 games since it’ll just sound bad due to the differences between Sound Canvas units and LA synthesizers like MT-32. If you don’t care for screens, CM-300 and SC-55ST units can be usually had on the cheap.\nEarly GS only units (such as SC-55 and CM-300 that do not have a “General MIDI” logo) are actually highly compatible with GM, with a small exception of missing the tone “Breath Noise” and it’s replaced with “Key Click”. Stumbling on this in games is rare. Early units also had something called “capital tone feedback” where the synth plays a capital tone when it can’t find the right variation. This was removed with later units. In some games this causes some notes to go missing – also something you won’t come across very often. To add to the confusion, there are units with GM support but no GM logo on the front. Still, I would not worry about it.\n2. Roland SC-88 and variants\nUsually the cheapest Sound Canvas, SC-88 has an improved output quality over SC-55 and a built-in equalizer, but it was released in 1994 when CD audio was already starting to take over and games generally don’t take advantage of its features. Still SC-88 does great job with MIDI soundtracks of the early 90’s as it has the option to choose an SC-55 map with a button press, making sure that you’re hearing what you are supposed to – it doesn’t sound exactly the same though, and while technically “better” you may appreciate the period accurate lower quality sound of an SC-55.\nThere are three variants of SC-88 in addition to the base model:\nSC-88 (1994) – the base model\nM-GS64 (1995) – a rack mount version\nSC-88VL (1996) – a smaller version, also available in white\nSC-88ST (1996) – no screen, a button is to switch between SC-55 and SC-88 modes. Also sold under the Edirol brand in white\nSC-88ST is usually very inexpensive and has everything you need for retro gaming purposes.\n3. SC-88 Pro and variants\nReleased in 1996, many gamers have unknowingly heard the SC-88 Pro as it was used for many PlayStation games. It seems to me that most of the Final Fantasy 7 soundtrack is actually based on SC-88 Pro samples, which is interesting as the PC version is a rare example of a game that uses Yamaha XG. Much like SC-88, SC-88 Pro has a button to change the map to match the previous models, and the SC-88 map sounds exactly like it does on SC-88. SC-55 again, sounds a bit different. MIDI files made with SC-88 Pro in mind will sound great, but games don’t really benefit over SC-88. The variants of SC-88 Pro get a bit confusing:\nSC-88 Pro (1996) – the base model\nSC-88ST Pro (1997) – no screen and the only button switches between modes\nSC-880 (1998) – a rack mount unit\nSC-8850 (1999) – USB connection and General MIDI 2 support\nSC-8820 (1999) – a small device with no screen, USB power. Button to change modes\nSC-D70 (2001) – works as a USB audio interface, digital outputs\nDespite the name change, all the above are based on SC-88 Pro. I advise against buying the SC-8850 because the backwards compatible maps seem to be off. I would also avoid the SC-D70 since it does not have a button to change the maps. SC-8820, however, is my favorite Roland Sound Canvas device. It’s small, relatively inexpensive considering it sounds as good as any other 88 Pro variants, has a button to change between SC-55, SC-88 and SC-88Pro modes and can be powered with a USB. SC-88 Pro tends to be expensive, and with a built-in power supply it is very bulky compared to the SC-8820.\nFrom 2001 on Roland started selling Studio Canvas branded synth modules under both Edirol and Roland brands. These synths do support both GM (via GM2 backwards compatibility) and GS, but don’t have maps for Sound Canvas compatibility. These synths are:\nSD-90 (2001) – A big device with many of Sound Canvas sounds and host of connections\nSD-80 (2002) – A cost and size reduced version of SD-90\nSD-20 (2002) – A low-cost device in an SC-8820 chassis\nSD-50 (2009) – midi interface, midi module, audio interface and mp3 player combo\nTrivia: SC-88 Pro and variants have an XG “Lite” map which means you can play XG MIDI files from 1995 and prior accurately, if with Roland samples instead of Yamaha ones. No games with XG MIDI were released in the west that you could make use of this with unfortunately.\nThere is one more device that carries the Sound Canvas brand, which is the Roland SC-7 from 1992. SC-7 lacks GS capability and is a tiny grey box. It does do the job for games that support General MIDI, but I would only grab one for a collection or if it was very cheap.\nMany Roland synthesizers support GM and GS, but they tend to be big rack mount devices aimed at professional music production. There is an exception which is Roland JV-1010. Same compact half-rack size of SC-55, it is a professional synth released in 1999. Unfortunately, it only supports GM. The sound quality great and the music sounds as realistic as it gets with 90’s hardware. Usually lower cost than SC-88 Pro units, it may be worth a look if your favorite games only support GM and you’ve always hoped they sounded like the music was played with real instruments\nYamaha has both pure GM synths, those extended with XG, and even those that support Roland's GS extensions. MU series was competitive with Roland's Sound Canvas series and many actually prefer Yamaha's GS compatible units to those from Roland. I'm dividing them into categories here by their similarity - buying two units from the same category doesn't offer much variety for games:\n1. TG series\nThe first GM synth from Yamaha was branded as part of their TG (\"tone generator\") series of synthesizers as TG100. It used low quality samples and was lower cost than the competing Roland SC-55, but did not do as well in the market. Yamaha also released it in a white box without a screen as a computer model called CBX-T3. It was aimed at hobbyists who wanted to dabble in computer music, and the game music composers stuck with Roland.\nTG100 (1992) – the original GM synth\nCBX-T3 (1993) – cost reduced version version with no display or controls\nTG300 (1993) – upgraded version of TG100, much better audio quality\nTG300 is not actually a bad GM synth at all and units in good condition can be found on the cheap.\n2. MU80 and updates:\nYamaha really caught up with Roland in 1994 with MU80, a unit superior to TG300 in every way. I can recommend an MU module for retro games but picking one out of the 18 models in the lineup can be daunting. Much like the Roland Sound Canvas line, there are many models that sound very similar.\nMU80 was the first unit that supported XG, and the basic design carried all the way to MU100 with the same chassis with more voices and updates to the engine that don’t seem to affect games noticeably.\nMU80 (1994) – the original XG synth\nMU50 (1995) – cost reduced version, lower quality samples\nMU90 (1996) – upgraded version of MU80, no apparent difference in games\nMU90R (1996) – rackmount version of MU90\nMU90B (1997) – no display version of MU90, only power button and volume control\nMU100 (1997) – upgraded engine, support for expansion cards\nMU100R (1997) – rackmount version of MU90, extra expansion slot\nMU100B (1997) – no display version of MU100, only power button and volume control\nMU80 is the classic Yamaha module, and I recommend it mostly because of that. If you prefer a lo-fi sound for your games MU50 will sound more pleasing to you, while the versions without displays can usually be found on the cheap.\nTrivia: Supposedly MU90 and MU100 were both used in some 90’s arcade rhythm games. If you have any information on this let me know via Twitter or something.\n3. MU128 and the best desktop midi modules never released in the west\nIn 1998 Yamaha noticed its expansion cards were selling well in Japan and decided to update the chassis to accommodate 3 expansion cards. These devices will sound noticeably different to the earlier MU devices even in games. MU128 was technically the last Yamaha desktop midi module that they released in the west, focusing their efforts on workstations and rack modules. In Japan, they released:\nMU2000 (1999) – USB, optical digital out, smartmedia card slot, sampler and sequencer\nMU1000 (1999) – cost reduced MU2000, no sampler, sequencer or smartmedia card slot\nMU2000EX (2000) – firmware upgrade to MU2000 adding Roland GS support\nMU1000EX (2000) – firmware upgrade to MU1000 adding Roland GS support\nMU500 (2000) – smaller unit with MU100 sound engine and MU2000 sounds\nYou can buy an MU1000/2000 and attempt a firmware upgrade to an EX-version but I don’t recommend it unless you can read Japanese. And if you can read Japanese, there are way better guides for midi modules than this for you (Update: an English language video on the firmware upgrade from Retro Box Boom).\nMU1000/EX and MU2000/EX are identical for gaming purposes. If you don’t care about the original composer’s vision or period accuracy, the EX-versions are the best modules you can get. GM, XG and GS music all sounds excellent. I recommend an EX-unit to anyone who can afford one, as the prices are increasingly high for units in good condition.\nTrivia: If you have an expansion card for your MU unit, you may be able to use it in games. Drums always use the same MIDI channel, and you can substitute the default drumkit with one from an expansion card.\n4. The portable series\nYamaha released three portable MU units, and all sound surprisingly good for their small size and can be used with batteries. These units are:\nMU5 (1994) – Only MU series unit with no XG, buttons double as a small keyboard\nMU10 (1996) – Beige box with no display, XG support\nMU15 (1998) – An update of MU5 with XG support\nI have seen MU10’s for very low prices, and the sound is very close to an MU50. If you like your retro computing hardware to be beige, this is a good start. Certainly, much better than the CBX-T3.\n5. Drum modules (the DTX series)\nEarlier I said that MU128 was technically the last desktop module they released, and this is kind of true – the modules they released after year 2000 were not made for desktops but were used for electronic drums. Yamaha’s DTXtreme units are mostly GM compatible but they are bulky units that will not be at home on a desk, however, early DTXpress series modules actually are General MIDI modules reminiscent of the MU series units and can be used for retro games:\nDTXpress (2000) – similar looking unit to older MU series\nDTXpress II (2002) – updated drum samples\nDTXpress III (2003) – updated drum samples\nDTXpress units are very cheap, but don't sound amazing. They do work, and you can actually change the drumset used by the game on the fly which can be fun.\nOther notable manufacturers\nKorg modules don’t sound very consistent with games but can be very nice depending on the music and which instruments are used. All the Korg modules are based on the same engine and sound samey with the GM map. They are:\n05R/W (1994) – First Korg GM module, based on their X5 keyboard\nAG-10 (1994) – “Audio Gallery” a white box with only a power button and a volume slider\nX5DR (1995) – same as 05R/W with improvements for music production\nNS5R (1997) – GS compatible, could be upgraded with a daughterboard to add XG\nNX5R (1999) – upgraded NS5R with XG daughterboard built in\nThe NX5R basically covers every sound that its predecessors have and is the best buy if you’re looking to add that Korg sound to your MIDI stack. Unfortunately, these units are on the expensive side and even the NS5R is around the price of a Yamaha MU2000EX. AG-10 will only get you GM but you may find one on the cheap as they are not very useful for musicians today.\nKawai managed to put out three GM modules in 1993, which all sound fine, and exactly the same in games:\nGMega (1993) – the only model with a screen and controls\nGMega LX (1993) – a white box with only a power button and volume control\nGMega L (1993) – a cost reduced version of GMega LX, with less MIDI channels\nGMegas are not very common but they’re not exactly sought after either so you may find one on the cheap, and it does have a unique sound.\nCasio targeted hobbyists and music learners with its modules, and as a result they are tiny and have very little in terms of features. Still work for games that use GM though.\nGZ-50M (1995) – Very basic, small GM module\nGZ-30M (1995) – cost reduced version of GZ-50M with a simpler case and controls, without the separate RCA output and headphone jacks. No effects, even reverb\nGZ-70SP (1995) – A GZ-30M stuck inside a speaker\nGZ-50M actually sounds fun, in a 90’s cheap synth kind of way. It is very small and well worth getting on the cheap if you like the sound of cheap Casio learner synths of the 90’s.\nSG01k (1995) is Akai’s only GM module. Not to be confused with SG01v (collection of sounds from vintage analogue synthesizers) or SG01p (piano sounds). The sounds emulate those of famous manufacturers from Roland to Moog. The SG01k is fairly consistent in that not much seems out of place, making it a decent choice for GM music.\nMIDIPLUS is mostly known for their cables, patchbays and other music production related accessories, but they also are one of the few manufacturers that still have GM modules on the market. They use a modern chip from Dream, which sounds very similar to Roland Sound Canvases of the 90’s.\nminiEngine Pro (2017) – A tiny GM device that also works as a battery pack\nminiEngine (2017) – cost-cut version of the Pro, screen replaced by a three-digit display\nThese small devices sound very good and can be bought from online retailers like Amazon.\nOther GM modules out there\nHere are some more interesting modules that I don’t have, either because I can’t find them or can’t afford them:\nE-Mu Sound Engine (1993) – basically a module version of Creative Waveblaster, from before E-Mu was acquired by Creative\nEniac Sound Saurus BH-1000 (1994) – An odd GM unit which seems to have unofficial GS compatibility, never seen one for sale anywhere\nKetron SD 2 (2006) – A small, portable module with realistic sound, still available new but expensive\nAlesis Nanosynth (2007) – Amazing sounding tiny module. No idea how games would sound with this because it’s too expensive for me to justify.\nKetron SD 4 (2008) – Very realistic sounding GM compatible desktop module. Expensive and rare\nThere are many more GM modules, but this guide will never end with this going so better move on.\nRoland LA modules were popularized for PC gaming (and even sold) by Sierra, and many games of late 80’s and early 90’s use LA synthesis instead of General MIDI which did not show up before 1991.\nBack in the day when CPU power was not abundant, Roland made a MIDI interface that would take over some of the heavy lifting involved in this MIDI business and put out the MPU-401 interface card that could provide things like as sequencer, MIDI clock, sync and a metronome when needed. This is called “intelligent mode” and is required by many older games.\nThere are two ways you can get this intelligent mode in DOS. One way is to use a software called SoftMPU which I know nothing about and hence can’t give you a guide for. The other is PCMIDI – a reproduction MPU-401 clone that you can actually buy and not pay hundreds of dollars as you would for a rare original Roland version. It works perfectly with any MIDI module.\nWith that out of the way, here are all the Roland LA synthesizer modules:\nMT-32 (1987) – The original MT-32\nMT-32 (1988) – Headphone jack added, internal changes\nMT-100 (1988) – A combination of the newer MT-32 and a PR-100 sequencer.\nCM-32L (1989) – “computer music” white box with power button and volume control only, added sound effects\nCM-64 (1989) – a CM-32L and CM-32P (a PCM synth not used in DOS games) combo\nCM-32LN (1992) –CM-32L with a new DAC and a connector for NEC PC-98 computers\nCM-500 (1991) – combination of CM-32LN and CM-300 (GS synth)\nThe most well-known LA synth is the Roland MT-32. It comes in two varieties, the old one (recognized easily by lacking a headphone jack) and the new one. There are some minor differences between the two. The older MT-32 can suffer some \"buffer overflow\" issues in certain games, while the newer fixes the issue. On the other hand some older Sierra games only work 100% as intended on the old version. MT-32 and MT-100 are nice looking black boxes with buttons and screens. The others are “computer music” CM variants, white (and by now ranging from beige to yellow) boxes with no controls.\nCM-32L has added sound effects that some games make use of. You generally won’t know they’re supposed to be there unless you have a CM-32L unit – you may miss the sound of a door opening in Beneath a Steel Sky, for example. CM-64 is a combination of the hardware found in two units, the CM-32L and CM-32P, of which the latter is not used by any DOS games released in the west. Some Japanese games for X68000 do actually use the extra sounds in CM-64 and some even sounds from expansion cards that you can use with it, but for western games in DOS, CM-32L and CM-64 are equal.\nCM-32LN is a module that was made specifically for the Japanese NEC PC-98 computers and features a special connector for one but does work as a regular midi module via 5-pin DIN connector. It has a faster vibrato than the older models, often mistakenly referred to as a bug. It does sound different, and it’s not what the songs were composed with, so depending on how accurate you want your LA music, may want to get an older unit instead.\nCM-500 combines a CM-32LN with a CM-300 by literally having the hardware of both. It has a switch in the back to choose the mode. If you only want one device, this would be it – as long as you aren’t too bothered about the faster vibrato.\nTo summarize, CM-32L and CM-64 are the best LA modules. CM-32LN and CM-500 have a faster vibrato than the earlier modules, which means the sound is not exactly as originally intended. MT-32 units have a display and buttons on front. Some games show messages on the MT-32 display, which is a fun novelty.\nIn 2015 Nerdly Pleasures wrote this fantastic article about the IBM Music Feature Card and mentioned the 1986 FM module, Yamaha FB-01 which shares the same YM-2164 FM synthesis chip. It is pretty unlikely that you’ll ever find an IBM Music Feature in the wild, and if you do it’ll most likely be very expensive. FB-01’s on the other hand are fairly cheap.\nConquests of Camelot\nHero's Quest/Quest for Glory\nHoyle's Official Book of Games\nKing's Quest I SCI\nKing's Quest IV\nLeisure Suit Larry 2\nLeisure Suit Larry 3\nMixed Up Mother Goose\nPolice Quest II\nSpace Quest III\nThe Colonel's Bequest\nAnother fun thing you can do is play VGM (video game music) files with something very close to original arcade hardware. A lot of arcade games of the 80’s used the same chip. You can actually do this with a Yamaha MSX computer as well – Yamaha SFG-05 FM unit that works with Yamaha’s series of “music computers” has the same chip and can be used instead of an FB-01 with the DOS games above as well.\nIf you want to experience the late 80’s and early 90’s Sierra and Lucas Arts adventure games in all their glory, get an MT-32, CM-32L or CM-64. The first version of MT-32 if you live for 80's Sierra games (in which case also get an FB-01).\nIf you want to buy just one module that was used to compose most of the 90’s game MIDI, get a Roland SC-55 or a variant.\nIf you want the highest fidelity Roland sound with great compatibility, buy a Roland SC-8820. Also buy an SC-8820 if you have very limited space.\nIf you want to have only one module, but want to play all games whether LA, GM or GS, get a Roland CM-500.\nIf you want to want your old games to sound like new games, get the Yamaha MU1000EX.\nIf you want to add just one XG synth to your collection and can’t afford a Yamaha MU1000EX, get the MU80.\n1. There are a lot of these modules out there in the wild. You can have amazingly good deals if you have patience. Ebay is one way to buy them, but I recommend using a proxy site that allows you to bid on Yahoo Japan Auctions, such as ZenMarket.\n2. Many sellers have no means of testing these devices, so they are often sold as “untested”. Most of the time they will work. Don’t worry about power supplies not being included, as generic ones are easily available. Just make sure the voltage matches (and the polarity – Roland specifically uses center negative power supplies so if you buy the much more common center positive one, you’ll need a dongle that converts it which are very cheap).\n3. Nobody ever bids on modules that are listed as having cigarette smell. You should, since it’ll be cheap. Then you start by dousing the device in isopropyl alcohol, Use a melamine sponge like a magic eraser to scrub off the surfaces, let it dry, and then seal it in a box on a bed of baking soda for a week. Yamaha MU128, MU1000 and MU2000 paint may come off with this process but most other modules are fine.\nChronological list of modules\nHere are all the modules I've mentioned by year, for those of you who are looking to build period accurate PC builds or something:\nRoland MT-32 (old version)\nRoland MT-32 (new version)\nRoland CM-300 (GS only version)\nRoland CM-300 (GS & GM version)\nRoland Sound Canvas SC-55 (GS only version)\nRoland Sound Canvas SC-55 (GS & GM version)\nBoss Dr. Synth DS-330\nRoland Sound Canvas SC-155\nRoland Sound Canvas SC-33\nKawai GMega L\nKawai GMega LX\nE-Mu Sound Engine\nEdirol Sound Canvas SC-55ST\nRoland Sound Canvas SC-55ST\nEniac Sound Saurus BH-1000\nKorg AG-10 Audio Gallery\nRoland Sound Canvas SC-50\nRoland Sound Canvas SC-88\nRoland Sound Canvas M-GS64\nEdirol Sound Canvas SC-88ST\nRoland Sound Canvas SC-88VL\nRoland Sound Canvas SC-88 Pro\nRoland Sound Canvas SC-88ST\nRoland Sound Canvas SC-88ST Pro\nRoland Sound Canvas SC-880\nRoland Sound Canvas SC-8820\nRoland Sound Canvas SC-8850\nEdirol Studio Canvas SD-90\nRoland Sound Canvas SC-D70\nEdirol Studio Canvas SD-20\nEdirol Studio Canvas SD-80\nYamaha DTXpress II\nYamaha DTXpress III\nKetron SD 2\nKetron SD 4\nRoland Mobile Studio Canvas SD-50\nMIDIPLUS miniEngine Pro", "domain": "hobby"}

This is not just an uncut unfiltered barrel proof version of our small batch.

The older vintage came from barrels with significant volume loss, leaving behind a thick and caramel-like liquid. And since we’d have to use more of the older vintage to achieve that smoothness, the smaller amount of younger vintages would have to be intense. Only the spiciest of our younger vintages were chosen, ensuring some rye spice would still shine through.\nAfter going through all this effort will we be offended if you want to add ice or water? Hell no! We do it all the time. Want to cut down on the heat? Toss in some ice. Want to access all those sweet notes from the older vintage? Add some water and it'll really open up.

Thank you so much for your support.\nEvery woman needs at least one great pair of joggers for traveling.\nJoggers are easily one of my favorite travel clothing staples. If you have to wear pants, they are the best travel pants you can own. (And I’m not embarrassed to admit that the number of joggers I own might take me from jogger enthusiast to expert).\nThe best travel joggers are versatile and convenient. They can be comfortably worn on a long-haul flight or road trip and are stylish enough to be dressed up for a night out. Being comfortable doesn’t mean you look underdressed or sloppy. (No one has to know how comfortable you are when you look chic in your going-out outfit.) This can really help take the stress out of packing and save space in your suitcase.\nOne thing that I love about wearing joggers when I travel is that they are flattering and look put together even if I’m bloated after a flight or a huge meal out (no need to suffer or secretly unbutton your pants).\nIf you aren’t a travel jogger convert yet, I’ll get you there. I’ve curated a list of the best women’s joggers for travel that includes a variety of styles, fabrics, and price points. No need to sacrifice fashion or function.\nJoggers vs. Sweatpants For Travel\nJust in case you’re wondering, “What’s the difference between joggers and sweatpants?”\nYes, they are different. To keep this simple:\nJoggers tend to be more lightweight, with a more fitted, flattering, and fashionable look that taper at the ankle. They were originally intended to be used for jogging so they are often made with materials that are sweat wicking, breathable, and allow for you to move easily.\nSweatpants are usually made with heavier weight and thicker, less breathable materials intended to keep you warm when it’s cold. They are often a relaxed fit all the way through (not fitted through the legs or ankles).\nWhile I do wear and have ways to dress up my sweatpants, I find joggers to be much more travel friendly. Joggers take up much less room when packing, are easier to change up the style based on your activities (ie. you don’t look like you’re wearing “athletic wear” to dinner), and they work for a variety of locations and weather conditions. (Joggers can be comfortably worn in humid climates, sweatpants… not so much…)\nNow, let’s dive into the joggers…\nThe Best Women’s Joggers for Travel 2023\nZella | Vuori | Ugg | Lululemon | Athleta | Beyond Yoga | American Eagle Outfitters | Eddie Bauer | Everlane | Madewell | Gap | Adidas | Icebreaker | Cuyana | Alala | Commando | Splendid | Naadam | Alo Yoga | The North Face | Yummie | L.L.Bean | Quince | Velvet by Graham & Spencer | Only on Amazon\nZella Live In Pocket Joggers\nThese Zella joggers are a must-have if you’re traveling. They won’t shrink or wrinkle which will make them a perfect travel staple.\nThese lightweight knit joggers are super soft and stretchy with a stylish slim fit. They’re made from a moisture-wicking fabric that dries quickly and is bluesign®-approved, which means it was sustainably created with the highest environmental standards available for textiles.\nThe Zella Live In Pocket Joggers have two front slant pockets and a left front zip pocket so you can make sure not to lose your ID, keys, credit cards, money or whatever you want to keep on you when you’re traveling. (And they also come in plus size!)\nComplete The Look:\nVuori is one of my go-to brands for capsule travel pieces. They make some of my favorite joggers that are perfect for staying comfortable (and cute) on overnight flights, long car rides, and hours of sightseeing.\nVuori Performance Jogger\nThe Performance Joggers are Vuori’s number one bestseller and they come in a range of travel-friendly colors. These joggers have a cult-like following in part because they are incredibly soft and made with DreamKnit™, which is Vuori’s softest premium stretch fabric that is moisture wicking and made from recycled materials.\nI own and love these! They are slightly cropped to sit above the ankle, but if you’re like me and prefer a longer inseam, you’ll want the Performance Jogger – Long.\nVuori Daily Jogger\nIf you like a more fitted look (think leggings, but more comfortable), the Vuori Daily Jogger will be your go-to. These high-rise joggers are made from Vuori’s Breathe Interlock™ fabric which is incredibly soft, but also gives you the smoothing and airbrush-like coverage that a legging would offer through your waist and hips. Perfect for the plane and to wear out at your destination.\nVuori Boyfriend Jogger\nVuori’s Boyfriend Jogger is another personal favorite. If I want to be comfortable on a plane, long car ride, or just day to day, these are one of my go-to staples.\nComplete The Look:\nAs far as UGG products go, I’ve gotten great longevity out of every piece I’ve purchased (boots, robes, pants, blankets) and they always become some of my most comfortable and reliable travel staples.\nUGG Women’s Kantner Jogger\nI own these UGG Kantner joggers in two colors (black and grey), and they are heavy in my rotation when I want to stay warm and cozy. The UGG Kantner is made from a lightweight double knit fleece with a ribbed-waistband, pockets, and a drawstring closure. They are great for colder weather, chilly airplanes, and nice enough to wear out and about.\nUGG Ericka Relaxed Jogger\nAnother great option for travel from UGG is the Ericka Relaxed Jogger. These are a recycled cotton blend with two-sided brushed fleece that makes the Ericka feel fluffy and super soft on the inside and sweatshirt-like on the outside. These are great as lounge pants or for your next long-haul flight.\nLululemon is one of my favorite brands to travel with. They’ve been all around the world with me from across the US to Europe to Asia and more. I know some people say that the price isn’t justified for activewear, but the Lululemon pieces I own have lasted me years (I literally have tank tops and leggings that I still own and wear that have lasted me 10+ years!). They have been more than worth the investment.\nLululemon Align High Rise Jogger\nYou really can’t have a list of best joggers without including the iconic Lululemon Align. Lululemon’s Align line of activewear from joggers and leggings to tops have to be the most “duped” pieces by other companies in the athleisure wear space.\nAre they that great? Yes. The Aligns are known for their buttery softness and almost weightless feel from Lululemon’s Nulu™ Fabric. The Align Jogger has a flattering high rise, slim fit, with front pockets that include an interior card sleeve and a drop-in back pocket. You cannot go wrong on the road with these and you might not take them off.\nLululemon Ready to Rulu Jogger\nThese high rise, full length joggers offer softness, stretch, and lightweight warmth while also being sweat-wicking and quick-drying.\nLululemon Scuba High-Rise Jogger\nThese Lululemon Scuba High-Rise Joggers are made to be traveled in. If you’re always cold on planes like I am, you’ll love these naturally breathable, cotton-blend fleece joggers. They are made from a naturally breathable, cotton-blend fleece fabric and offer cozy, lightweight warmth.\nLululemon Dance Studio Mid-Rise Jogger\nThese mid-rise, full-length joggers are incredibly lightweight, easy to pack, and travel very well.\nReviewers are saying…\n“Best joggers ever! These are my favorite of all my joggers, across many brands. The fit is perfect! They are great for everything from a workout to travel.”\n“Newfound love of joggers. I’m literally in love. I never thought I would look good in joggers but my confidence in these is unmatched.”\nComplete The Look:\nAthleta makes incredible travel joggers. Athleta is a brand I’ve started shopping more recently after experiencing their quality firsthand. Similar to Lululemon in that some aren’t fans of the price tag, you really do get what you pay for in longevity with their quality materials and construction. Plus, they are also size-inclusive, with many of their styles now being carried up to a 3X.\nAthleta Headlands Hybrid Trek Jogger\nI love the zipper pocket for added pickpocket protection, and if you’re planning on doing any adventurous outdoor activities these are abrasion resistant and offer UPF50+ sun protection.\nAthleta Salutation Jogger\nThe Salutation Jogger is Athleta’s answer to Lululemon’s Align Jogger. These are similar but not the same, and there is heated debate on both sides about which one is “better.”\nThe Salutation Jogger is made from Athleta’s Powervita™ fabric which means that these joggers are not only buttery soft, but also sweat-wicking, breathable, and quick-drying. These joggers are also UPF50+ so you’ll get great sun protection. On top of that, these joggers are very figure flattering with a high-rise waistband and a curved seam on the back.\nThese are great multi-purpose travel pants because you can comfortably wear them en route to your destination and then throw on some boots or heels to dress them up to go out to dinner.\nOne reviewer said, “LIVING IN THESE PANTS! Hands down my favorite pants I own. So versatile, butter soft, they look and feel amazing. I am already eyeing different colors to stock up!”\nAthleta Venice Jogger\nStylish comfort that you can wear anywhere. These have a clean look you can easily dress up for work and day-to-day wear.\nComplete The Look:\nBeyond Yoga is a brand that is committed to creating luxury-level activewear that delivers the ultimate comfort for all body types and shapes, and they never retouch images. Their products are made in the USA with a focus on sustainability.\nBeyond Yoga Spacedye Midi Jogger\nThe Spacedye Midi Jogger is a quality jogger that you’ll wear for years. It’s made from their buttery performance fabric that has a unique texture and ultra soft and cozy feeling to the touch. These high-rise joggers are perfect for traveling with a flattering tapered silhouette, 4-way stretch, moisture-wicking properties, UV protection, and are easy to care for. They also come in a variety of colors!\nAMERICAN EAGLE OUTFITTERS\nAmerican Eagle Outfitter’s OFFLINE by Aerie is a size-inclusive line designed for movement and comfort. These joggers are made with soft, luxe-feeling fabrics that are also affordable.\nOFFLINE By Aerie Real Me Jogger\nThese very flattering, high-rise joggers are a 5-star favorite. Aerie’s Real Me fabric is their number one fabric with 360° stretch and a second skin feel. They are ultra-lightweight, offer light support, and will become a staple in your travel wardrobe.\nOne reviewer says, “I can honestly say these are the most comfortable leggings I have ever worn. They’re so soft and they feel so good on. I never leave reviews but these deserve 10 stars!”\nOFFLINE By Aerie OTT Fleece Full Length Jogger\nThese relaxed fit joggers are made with Aerie’s OTT Fleece fabric that reviews have compared to cloud-like softness—one reviewer said, “What I imagine it feels like to touch heaven. BUY IT. Hands down literally the SOFTEST pair of bottoms I own.”\nThese have a rollover waistband with a drawstring so you can play around with the styling. They do run large so make sure to size down. I’d pair these with a white tee or a cropped-style top, white sneakers, and a denim jacket for a casual but comfortable travel look.\nEddie Bauer Cozy Camp Fleece Jogger Pants\nEddie Bauer has been making outdoor apparel for over 100 years, which makes them experts in travel staples. They took their favorite sweats and made them even better, adding spandex for stretch and making the interior even softer. These are a universal-staple basic jogger: a classic with a flattering fit (not too slim or too relaxed), two pockets, and a rib-knit waistband and cuffs. You can wear these with everything from a hoodie to a leather jacket to a blazer or long wool coat.\nEverlane The Track Jogger\nI’m a big fan of Everlane’s transparency when it comes to everything from their pricing to the quality of their materials to ethical practices and sustainability.\nEverlane’s The Track Jogger is a classic, signature staple made from 100% organic cotton fabric. This is a high-rise, relaxed-fit jogger that you can dress up or down. These joggers are warm, durable, and made of custom-developed, organic french terry, which gives it a premium feel without the luxury markup. The Track Jogger will never go out of style.\nOne fan says, “This is my 5th pair. I literally live in these pants! I have 2 in black, the grey, the light green, and these blue ones are my new faves. They are just everything: the fit, the fabric, the color — just *chefs kiss* perfection!”\nComplete The Look:\nMWL Breeze Skinny Joggers\nMadewell’s Make Weekends Longer loungewear is known for extremely soft, comfortable, and sustainable fabrics you’ll want to live in 24/7. The Breeze Slim Skinny Jogger is a super soft, lightweight cross between a legging and a jogger. I like that the drawstring is the same color as the rest of the pants, no matter which color you buy, because it elevates the look by making the pants just a little more chic and little less like loungewear.\nultracor Essential Pavo Jogger\nThese ultracor joggers scream both fashion and function. I just love the look of these joggers. They are very much my personal style of a classic piece with a twist.\nThat being said, I would highly recommend these to anyone else these chic joggers speak to. They have a slim fit with a high rise, compressive waistband, a hidden side zipper pocket, a center pleat, and contrasting side trim. These are definitely joggers you can wear out and are already dressed up on their own.\nGap Vintage Soft Classic Joggers\nGap is known for its reliable, classic, quality basics. Gap’s Vintage Soft Joggers are mid-rise, made from a soft french terry knit, and washed with a special technique to make sure they feel even softer than soft before the first wear.\nGap High Rise Vintage Soft Joggers\nAnd if you prefer a higher rise, you’ll want to check out this version.\nadidas Essentials Jogger Pants\nYou can’t go wrong with these. These versatile joggers make for an easy, clean look.\nIcebreaker Crush Jogger Pant\nThe Icebreaker Crush Merino pants are made from a lightweight, durable, merino wool blend that regulates body temperature in all weather conditions. These joggers are excellent for travel because they are warm in the cold and cool in the heat. This merino wool is soft, non-itchy, and naturally odor-resistant. It’s also ethically sourced, sustainable, naturally renewable, recyclable and biodegradable.\nThese Icebreaker joggers have a regular fit—not too loose or too snug—and can be worn by themselves or as a base layer. They have a flattering and feminine back yoke and practical side seam pockets.\nWhen it comes to travel, I’ll let these great reviews speak for themselves:\n“Best pants ever. These are amazing travel pants, lounge pants, exercise pants and camping pants. I traveled for a year ( se Asia and South America) and I wore these so much and they held up so well despite all that wear and washing and drying ! They became my go to pants for all airplane travel. They don’t smell even after wearing for multiple days, and are comfortable in all temperatures. I also really like that they are tapered , as they don’t drag on the ground when you’re in the outdoors camping.\n“Best joggers ever. Wool fabrication is awesome! I wore these on a 10-day trip to Iceland in late June. I wore them for both travel days and for 2+ other days in-country. I didn’t wash them. I wore them hiking, I wore them driving, I wore them in the city at restaurants. They never got smelly. They never bagged out in the knees or butt, like some cheaper wool joggers I tried first because these were too expensive. They always looked great. I wore them in temperatures from about 45-75 and didn’t get too cold or too hot.”\nComplete The Look:\n“Fewer, better” is the philosophy behind Cuyana’s brand, which means you can invest in the high-quality, long-lasting, timeless staples you need without needing to constantly add more to your wardrobe.\nCuyana Single-Origin Cashmere Tapered Pant\nCashmere is a favorite fabric among travelers because it is lightweight, luxuriously soft, and versatile. If you’re ready to travel in ultimate comfort, Cuyana’s Single-Origin Cashmere Tapered Pant is a luxury, easy-fit jogger crafted from medium-weight sustainable single-origin cashmere that you’ll wear again and again.\nCuyana French Terry Tapered Lounge Pant\nYou might never take these off.\nComplete The Look:\nAlala Wander Sweatpant\nChic and functional.\nComplete The Look:\nCommando Butter High Waist Joggers\nCommando is one of my favorite brands for comfortable luxe basics, particularly tights and leggings. These high waisted Butter Joggers say it in the name: they are made with an incredibly soft and stretchy cotton ribbed modal blend that feels almost weightless. These joggers are easy to elevate for a night out with heels and a coat or blazer.\nComplete The Look:\nSplendid Super-Soft Joggers\nThe reviews for this 5-star favorite all use the word “soft.”\nNaadam Essential Cashmere Sweatpants\nThese joggers are made with 100% Mongolian Cashmere that will keep you warm when you’re in the cold, and cool when you’re someplace warm. They also won’t wrinkle!\nI own several pieces from Alo Yoga and all of them are very comfortable. Alo knows how to make quality loungewear and athleisurewear.\nAlo Yoga Muse Sweatpant\nThe Muse Sweatpant is a 5-star cult favorite for its comfort.\nAlo Yoga Accolade Sweatpant\nIf you love a streetwear look, these are very soft and stylish.\nTHE NORTH FACE\nThe North Face Ea Dune Sky Joggers\nThe North Face brand is known for more than 50 years of quality activewear. These joggers are buttery soft and made from 80% recycled materials.

Quince’s proprietary SuperSoft fabric makes these the softest fleece joggers you’ll own.\nQuince Mongolian Cashmere Sweatpants\nAffordable Luxury. You would never know by the quality that these 100% Grade-A Mongolian Cashmere Joggers are under $100.\nComplete The Look:\nVELVET BY GRAHAM & SPENCER\nKimana Drawsting Waist Sweatpant\nThe softness and comfort is truly next level.\nThese Zuma joggers are 100% Organic Cotton and incredibly luxe.\nONLY ON AMAZON\nCRZ YOGA Lightweight Quick-Dry Joggers\nYou really can’t go wrong with these highly-rated, budget-friendly joggers. They have a classic fit and are made with a quick-dry, ripstop fabric that is resistant to tearing, which makes them perfect for travel. On top of that, these pants are soft, have 2-way stretch, are available in several colors, and won’t take up much room in your bag or suitcase.\nBALEAF Fleece-Lined Water-Resistant Joggers\nThese Amazon favorites are perfect if you want to stay warm, whether you are traveling somewhere cooler or you just get cold when the AC is blasting. These soft, high-waisted joggers are fleece-lined, water resistant, and won’t shrink in the wash. These joggers also have great deep side pockets that fit a 6.7″ mobile phone, cards, and other essentials.\nBALEAF Lightweight Quick-Dry Jogger with Zipper Pockets\nThese stylish, lightweight joggers are a highly-rated Amazon staple with many of the reviewers owning several pairs. You get a laundry list of amazing travel-friendly features with these joggers for an affordable price. They are breathable with 4-way stretch, water resistant, have UPF50+ sun protection, and FIVE pockets, including two deep hand pockets, two front-zip cargo pockets, and one roomy rear pocket, giving you plenty of space to keep your phone, keys and cards safe. There’s really no reason not to buy at least one pair of these.\nOne reviewer says, “Will not give you swamp ass! The pants are super stretchy, breathable, and very comfortable. I used them in 90 degree (F), walked through brush, and sat in a truck for 2 hours. They didn’t make me sweat, they held up against walking through thick brush, and didn’t dig into my stomach when I sat down. They’re great.”\nDragon Fit High-Waist Joggers with Pockets\nThese joggers have thousands of 5-star Amazon reviews for a reason. They are not only functional, but very flattering at an affordable price point. Many people consider them a “dupe” for the Lululemon Align Jogger. These Dragon Fit joggers are ultra-soft, lightweight, have 4-way stretch, and two deep side pockets. The material is also thick enough that it’s very forgiving and doesn’t show any “imperfections.” They also offer High Waist Tummy Control that helps enhance your shape, but isn’t uncomfortable. I wear these comfortably at home or on the road, and I always get compliments on them! These are even nice enough that many reviewers wear these joggers with heels to work.\nI also have the matching top.\nSEVEGO Lightweight Soft Jogger\nThese joggers are a favorite on Amazon for many reasons, not least of all because they come in a variety of inseam lengths to fit petite to tall. If you’re someone who has trouble finding joggers in a length you like, these are heaven-sent (tall ladies are raving in the reviews section).\nThese comfortable high-rise joggers are made from a lightweight, breathable, soft cotton fabric with soft French Terry on the inside. I love a zippered pocket for travel, and these joggers have two front zippered pockets and one open back pocket.\nBest of all, these just look nice whether you’re wearing them inside or outside.\nTHE GYM PEOPLE Women’s Joggers\nThese highly-rated joggers from The Gym People are flattering and easy to just throw on and go. This is another go-to staple I take with me and wear on trips. They are high-waisted, lightweight, have great stretch, and have pockets that are deep enough to hold what you need, including a phone. These are also budget-friendly enough to buy more than one color. The elastic waistband is not at all uncomfortable (these are very comfortable to wear), but it’s structured enough that it slims your waist. And big plus, they don’t give you the dreaded camel toe.\nI also highly recommend the matching top—I own it in several colors!\nSofties Dream Jersey Ultra Soft Two Piece Lounge Set\nIf Oprah includes it in “Oprah’s Favorite Things” five years in a row, I have to include it. You might just live in this super soft jogger set 24/7. It’s buttery soft and feels like cashmere. This stylish jogger set is easy to care for, which is great for travel, and can be worn anywhere and everywhere (dress it up with a long cardigan or blazer).\n“There’s a reason the goodness from Softies continues to make my Favorite Things list. You won’t want to take it off—and there’s no need to.” -MF-ing OPRAH", "domain": "hobby"}

These sounds are stored as pulse-code modulation data in ROM. Whereas older machines such as the LinnDrum, Oberheim DMX, etc. typically stored each sound on its own ROM chip, with dedicated digital-to-analogue converter and associated circuitry; the TR-505 uses a much more economical design, storing all the sounds on a single memory chip and making use of a complicated time division multiplexing system to achieve limited polyphony.\nI first set about reverse-engineering the TR-505 in July 2015, in order to produce my own sample ROM. The first thing to do was to get a dump of the contents of the TR-505's original sample ROM. This is not quite as simple as popping the chip into an EEPROM programmer, as the Toshiba mask ROM which Roland used doesn't have a standard pinout. Fortunately, the pinout is described in the TR-505 service notes, so it was straightforward to build a wiring adapter on a breadboard. When dumping the ROM I mapped it to the pin configuration of a 29C010 EEPROM, which is functionally very similar for reading.\nI was able to produce an address map of the TR-505 sample ROM by studying the service notes and pulling apart a dump of the ROM using a hex editor and CoolEdit 2000 (an excellent audio editor for this sort of work, as it fully supports 8-bit formats and is sample-accurate, unlike Audacity).\nAll of the samples in the TR-505 are stored as 8-bit unsigned PCM data, with a 25.00 kHz sampling rate. Although some of the samples are stored one after the other, most of the drum sounds are interleaved in pairs (i.e. one sound occupies the even numbered bytes in a given address range, and another sound occupies the odd numbered bytes). The sounds are arranged in memory according to this table:\n|Sample at address||Sample length||Starting address|\n|Bass (interleaved with Low Conga)||4K (even bytes)||$8000|\n|Low Conga (interleaved with Bass)||4K (odd bytes)||$8001|\n|Snare (interleaved with High Conga)||4K (even bytes)||$A000|\n|High Conga (interleaved with Snare)||4K (odd bytes)||$A001|\n|Clap (interleaved with Low Cowbell)||4K (even bytes)||$C000|\n|Low Cowbell (interleaved with Clap)||4K (odd bytes)||$C001|\n|Rimshot (interleaved with High Cowbell)||4K (even bytes)||$E000|\n|High Cowbell (interleaved with Rimshot)||4K (odd bytes)||$E001|\n|Crash Cymbal (interleaved with itself)||32K||$10000|\n|Ride Cymbal (interleaved with itself)||16K||$18000|\nAs the TR-505 is not particularly generous with sample time (memory was expensive in 1986, after all), I decided to re-use samples from some classic drum machines which had very similar sample lengths / rates. I produced kits based on the Linn LM-1, LinnDrum and Oberheim DMX. The sample data from these machines is compressed (they used non-linear DAC circuitry to simulate 12-bit resolution) and had to be decompressed before using it in the TR-505. This was done with a program called DMXWAV. The subsequent 16-bit wav files were then resampled back down to 8-bit resolution. Some samples had to be padded out with silence ($80) to fill their allocated memory space in the ROM.\nI found a few ways to produce the interleaved data. One way is to make a stereo WAV file using an audio editor, putting the even bytes in the left channel and the odd bytes in the right channel. Saving this as a raw headerless file will produce the interleaved data. Alternatively, WinHex is able to interleave files using the unify tool - just use the 8-bit 'wordwise' option. WinHex is paid software, but the shareware demo is able to do this.\nOne problem I ran into was that a couple of sounds had a ringing sound present in the background, even when they weren't being played (especially the hi-hats). I found that ensuring that the first and last few bytes of that sample were set as $80 solved the problem.\nI have been able to successfully replace all of the original TR-505 sounds, with the exception of the crash and ride cymbals. I have tried various ways of interleaving / encoding the data, but it would always come out sounding very artefacted and distorted. Instead, I substituted in the cymbal data from the TR-505; $10000 to $1BFFF in the original ROM.\nAs previously mentioned, the mask ROM in the TR-505 uses a non-standard pin configuration, meaning that you cannot simply drop an EEPROM in its place. In order to solve this problem, I designed an expansion board for the TR-505 that adapts various EEPROMs to the original mask ROM's pinout, while also breaking out additional address lines to support multiple sound banks on one chip.\nThe ROM expansion upgrade is available as a kit, including pre-assembled daughterboard, DIP socket and toggle switch.

Among the plethora of options, electric skateboards and e-scooters have emerged as popular choices for urban commuting. But which of these personal electric vehicles is the better option for city commuters? This two-part blog post aims to compare electric skateboards and e-scooters, considering various factors such as cost, convenience, performance, and safety.\nCost Comparison: Electric Scooters vs. Electric Skateboards\nWhen it comes to cost, both electric scooters and electric skateboards offer a range of options, from budget-friendly models to high-performance versions. Generally, most electric scooters cost slightly more than electric skateboards due to their larger size and additional features like dual motor scooters. However, the price can vary widely based on the brand, battery capacity, and power output.\nPortability and Convenience\nOne of the key advantages of electric skateboards is their compact size. Many electric skateboards are lightweight and can be easily carried or stored, making them ideal for commuters who need to take their ride on public transportation or into buildings. E-scooters, while also portable, tend to be bulkier and heavier, especially the models equipped with larger wheels and higher battery capacity.\nPerformance and Terrain Adaptability\nIn terms of performance, both electric scooters and electric skateboards have their strengths. Most electric scooters typically offer better stability due to their larger wheels and wider turning radius, making them more suitable for novice riders or those who prefer a more relaxed riding style. Electric skateboards, on the other hand, provide a more thrilling ride experience, especially for those accustomed to traditional skateboards. They are better suited for smooth, paved surfaces, while most e-scooters can handle rough terrain more effectively.\nSafety is a paramount concern when it comes to urban commuting. Electric scooters offer a more stable ride due to their design, with the rider standing forward and two wheels providing balance. This can be particularly advantageous in extreme weather conditions or uneven terrain. Electric skateboards, while offering an exhilarating experience, require more skill to navigate and maintain balance, especially at higher speeds or on uneven surfaces. Wearing safety gear is essential for both modes of transport.\nBattery Life and Range\nBoth electric scooters and electric skateboards are powered by lithium-ion batteries, but their range and battery life can differ significantly. Most electric scooters offer a longer range due to their larger battery capacity, making them more suitable for longer distances. Electric skateboards, while having a shorter range, are often sufficient for typical city commutes and offer the convenience of quicker charging times.\nEco-Friendliness and Emissions\nBoth electric scooters and electric skateboards score high on eco-friendliness, offering zero emissions during operation. This makes them both excellent choices for environmentally conscious commuters looking to reduce their carbon footprint.\nWhen it comes to maintenance, both electric skateboards and e-scooters require regular upkeep, but the nature and cost of maintenance can vary. Electric skateboards generally have fewer components and can be easier and less expensive to maintain. However, their smaller wheels may need more frequent replacement due to wear and tear, especially if ridden on rough terrain. E-scooters, with their more complex structures and larger batteries, might incur higher maintenance costs, particularly for high-performance models or those used extensively for longer commutes.\nHealth Benefits and Physical Activity\nWhile both electric skateboards and e-scooters provide a form of physical activity, the nature of the exercise differs. Riding an electric skateboard requires more balance and core strength, potentially offering a more engaging physical workout. E-scooters, being more stable and easier to ride, might offer less in terms of physical exertion but are still a healthier alternative to sitting in a car or public transport.\nRide Comfort and Experience\nRide comfort is another significant factor to consider. E-scooters, with their larger wheels and often more substantial build, generally offer a smoother ride over various terrains. They are also typically easier to learn and ride, especially for those new to electric personal mobility devices. Electric skateboards, while offering a more exhilarating and agile experience, might be less comfortable over longer distances or on uneven surfaces due to their smaller wheels and the stance required to ride them.\nUrban Environment Adaptability\nIn urban environments, the adaptability of your chosen mode of transport is key. Electric skateboards, with their compact size, can be more maneuverable in tight spaces, making them ideal for crowded city streets. E-scooters, while bulkier, often perform better on a wider range of surfaces and can be more stable in high-demand urban areas, especially when navigating through traffic or over obstacles.\nSpeed and Efficiency\nRegarding speed, both electric skateboards and e-scooters can reach speeds suitable for urban commuting. Most models are capable of reaching speeds that allow for efficient travel while adhering to urban speed limits. However, high-performance models of both e-scooters and electric skateboards can offer higher speeds, which might be more suitable for experienced riders or those commuting over longer distances.\nPersonal Preference and Lifestyle Fit\nUltimately, the choice between an electric skateboard and an e-scooter may come down to personal preference and lifestyle fit. For those who enjoy a more active and engaging ride, and who value compactness and portability, an electric skateboard might be the ideal choice. For commuters prioritizing stability, comfort, and ease of use, particularly over longer distances or varied terrains, an e-scooter could be the better option.\nConclusion: A Choice Tailored to Your Commuting Needs\nIn conclusion, both electric skateboards and e-scooters offer unique advantages for city commuters. The decision between the two should be based on individual commuting needs, personal riding style, and the specific characteristics of your urban environment. Whether you choose the agility and compactness of an electric skateboard or the stability and comfort of an e-scooter, both are excellent eco-friendly alternatives to traditional modes of transportation, contributing to a greener and more efficient urban commuting experience.", "domain": "hobby"}

The topic will be lightweight DXpeditioning including my recent experiences with the 100 Pound DXpeditions to the Boston Harbor Islands.\n2013 CQ WW WPX SSB Contest results\n28 August 2013. I came in 3rd in the W1 call area for SOAB HP with 406K points, far behind the winner (10.8M) and second place finishers (2.3M). That said, I beat a whole string of other people so my vertical dipole farm is doing OK.\nNA-148 2013 Activations\n3 August 2013. I operated on Georges Island for a few hours until the threat of rain chased me home.\n10 August 2013. I returned to Georges Island again, this time with better solar conditions. I made many more European contacts that day.\nA video from that day has been posted to YouTube and is available on my Boston Harbor page.\n1 September 2013. The last activation of the year was 30 August -1 September. I made 300+ contacts this summer. Many thanks to all who worked me.\nNE1RD activated NA-148 for RSGB IOTA Contest\n27 July 2013. I was active on Lovells Island for about 5 hours on Saturday, 27 July 2013 for the RSGB IOTA contest. I was only able to put 26 QSOs in the log but had a pretty good time. You can see a picture from the event on the Latest Fun Thing page.\nNE1RD passes the 1000 prefix mark\n9 July 2013. Though I am not on the air nearly as much as I would like to be, I have been making progress on some awards. I recently passed the 1000 prefix mark in CQ Magazine's WPX awards program. I also now have WPX for the five top contest bands (10-80m). I only need WPX for each continent to be eligible for the CQ WPX Award of Excellence.\nNE1RD activated NA-148\n9 July 2013. I was active on Lovells Island for about 9 hours on Saturday, 6 July 2013. Conditions were poor but I did get more QSOs than mosquito bits (barely). I have several other operations planned for these islands this summer. Hopefully conditions will be better for those. A log search for work on the NA-148 island group is now available on the Boston Harbor page.\nNE1RD to activate NA-148\n5 July 2013. I plan to activate NA-148 again this weekend for 24 hours from 6 July 2013 16:00Z. I will be camping on Lovells Island here. There is nothing on Lovells: no water, no electricity, and no transportation except for the 3 daily boat trips to Georges Island (and on to Boston). Camping there implies carrying everything you need in, and packing everything out when you leave. Operation will be on a KX3 at about 10 watts using batteries and solar panels for power. I can see the Boston Skyline and have (spotty) Internet access. If I can, I will use the DX spotting network to announce my operating frequency. QSL to home call. LoTW, eQSL, and ClubLog will all be updated soon after the trip.\nWebsite updated with Latest Fun Thing\nMarch 2013. I updated the Latest Fun Thing web page with the newest edition to my shack.\nClubLog powered online QSL system now available\nMy main logs (NE1RD, VP2MRD, V4/NE1RD, NE1RD/1, and KP2/NE1RD) are now available for online QSL requests using the ClubLog system. If you've not yet learned about ClubLog take a moment and click the link. The system is very powerful and popular with major DXers and DXpeditions. Many of the latest DXpeditions have been using ClubLog for log search capabilities. To obtain a card (either direct or through the QSL bureau) just fill out the form. If you are already a ClubLog member the form is filled out for you on QSOs that match in both logs. Cards sent direct mail are $2; BURO routed cards are free. Of course, the best and easiest way to get a confirmed QSO with my operations is with the ARRL service Logbook of the World.\nNE1RD to activate NA-148 for RSGB IOTA Contest\nThe Radio Society of Great Britain Islands on the Air group is having its annual contest 28-29 July 2012. I will be operating from Lovell Island in Boston Harbor (NA-148) starting Friday afternoon (27 July) and ending Sunday morning local time. The call will be NE1RD/1 (to differentiate this operation from my home call). More information about this island group and my operations there can be found here.\nUPDATE: 30 July 2012\nThe operation on Lovell Island was not successful. I could barely hear European stations and nobody could hear me. I worked only one QSO in the contest--Cuba. When the second Cuban station couldn't hear me I knew this was a bust. I packed up camp and took the ferry home before the rains came. I will try again next year. Let's hope we have better conditions!\nWebsite major overhaul\nThe website has been given a major overhaul and reorganization. There may be some broken links or other problems. I hope to have everything polished up by the end of January 2012. Thanks for visiting!\nWebsite updated with Latest Fun Thing\nFebruary 2012. I added a page to this website that talks about the Latest Fun Thing. For now, this is the Lantern Battery Challenge. Check it out here.\nKP2/NE1RD wins SO 10 QRP category of 2011 CQ WW WPX SSB Contest\nFor the second year running I have won my category in the CQ WPX contest (phone). In March of 2011 I returned to the little rented villa on St. Thomas, USVI, and worked QRP. My 10m QRP entry was the top score in the world. The US Virgin Islands (KP2) did not have a 10m SOSB QRP record so I'll hold that when the contest results are released (along with the 15m SOSB QRP record I set in 2010).\nQSL cards for my new home have arrived -- All QSL requests have been answered\nAs of today I have completely caught up on QSLing. If you have been waiting for a card from me you should expect it soon. Of course, the easiest way to QSL with me is through Logbook of the World and eQSL. You can check to see if you are in my log by using ClubLog.\nI Earned Worked All States (WAS) from my new home in Pelham\nI worked all 50 states from my new home in Pelham, NH. The confirmations were all through Logbook of the World. Though talking with folks in 50 states is relatively easily (I worked 49 of 50 in the ARRL SS in November 2011) getting all those QSOs confirmed is the trick. MT came through this morning giving me the last in the set. My certificate is ordered.\nPresentation to PART Radio club\nRich (AB1HD) and I will give a presentation to our local club PART highlighting ham radio software for the Macintosh on Tuesday 18 October 2011.\nPresentation to Quannapowitt Radio Association Banquet\nI will present my 100 Pound DXpedition talk to the Quannapowitt Radio Association Annual Banquet on 17 June 2011 at the Hillview Country Club in North Reading, Massachusetts.\nPresentation to Montachusset Amateur Radio Club\nI will present my 100 Pound DXpedition talk to the Montachusset Amateur Radio Club on 8 June 2011 at the Lunenburg, Massachusetts Public Library.\nPresentation to PART Radio Club in Westford, Massachusetts\nI will present my 100 Pound DXpedition talk to the PART of Westford radio club on 17 May 2011 in the Westford, Massachusetts police station training room.\nI earned Worked all States (WAS) from KP2!\nI had 48 states confirmed via Logbook of the World (LoTW) from the 2010 trip (all on 15m) and was short just two states (ND and WY) coming into the 2011 trip. I was able to snag ND in the 2011 CQ WPX SSB contest but still lacked WY with just days left on my vacation. Thankfully, Rich (AB1HD) pointed me to the K3UK LoTW Sked Page which offers a bulletin board for coordinating scheduled QSOs. After only a couple of posts\nKP2/NE1RD SOSB 10 QRP in 2011 CQ WW WPX SSB Contest\nI had a (claimed) score of 135,540 from 364 QSOs and 180 prefix/multipliers. The actual score will be computed by the contest sponsor CQ Magazine and published in their January 2012 issue. The US Virgin Islands (KP2) did not have a 10m SOSB QRP record so I'll hold that when the contest results are released (along with the 15m SOSB QRP record I set last year). This year's score was only good enough to put me in the top 20 all-time for North America. (Last year I set the record for North America!)\nKP2/NE1RD to be SO 10 QRP for 2011 CQ WW WPX SSB Contest\nI returned to the Virgin Islands for the 2011 CQ WW WPX SSB contest. Sunspots permitting I will be SOSB 10M QRP for the contest operating from the same location as last year.\nKP2/NE1RD wins SO 15 QRP category of 2010 CQ WW WPX SSB Contest\nMy efforts from the US Virgin Islands paid off. I had the highest QRP single operator score in the contest with 639,086 points [778 QSOs and 382 prefixes]. This is a new North American record and puts me 3rd all-time for this band-mode-power category.\nPresentation to Hampden County Radio Association\nI presented my 100 Pound DXpedition talk to the Hampden County Radio Association on 7 January 2011. This fine group of hams had a club kit building project where the group built a bunch of RockMite transceivers using the manual I had written a couple of years ago. It was a snowy night but lots of good folks came out for the show!\nPresentation to the North Shore Radio Association in Peabody, MA.\nI presented my 100 Pound DXpedition talk to the North Shore Radio Association on 18 October 2010. We had a nice pre-talk dinner at a restaurant I had not visited since 1991! The food was still great! The turnout was one of the biggest club meetings I've seen in a while. This is a very active club!\nPresentation to the Candlewood ARA in Bethel, CT.\nI presented my 100 Pound DXpedition talk to the Candlewood ARA on 12 November 2010. This was a great group that really treated me right: dinner, a place to sleep, and even a new fancy CARA T-shirt. They're looking to celebrate their 80th anniversary next year. Woot! Congratulations!\nPresentation to the Framingham ARA in Framingham, MA\nI will be presenting to FARA on 4 November 2010 about the Joy of QRP. This isn't a formal presentation; it is just a fun review of a collection of QRP rigs and accessories along with some stories about the joy of operating a very low power.\nMake Magazine video from the Massachusetts QRP Convention\nI added an embedded YouTube video from Diana Eng of Make Magazine to the Gallery page. MassCon sure was fun!\nQSL cards for the recent St. Thomas trip have arrived!\n15 April 2010. I have just opened the box and the cards look gorgeous! I will respond to all QSL card direct requests this weekend and probably do a big BURO drop within the week. Look for your card soon!\nLog searching is now provided by Club Log\nYou can now search my logs using the Club Log web site. Additional details may be found on my QSL information page.\n2011 CQ WW WPX SSB Contest plan\nWe had such a great time on St. Thomas that we have reserved the Seabright Villa again for 2011's contest! My current thinking is to do a single band QRP effort on 10m. We will see if conditions permit it.\nCQ WW WPX SSB Contest after-contest report\nI was 15m single band in the CQ WPX contest and had a great time. I also turned in a great score! We'll see if I survive contest adjudication after they ding me for dups and goofs but I sent in a claimed score of 676,039--which is over 100K points higher than the current North American record for this category! Final results are to be published in the January issue of CQ Magazine.\nBuddipole in the FIeld is published! [updated]\nA book written by me entitled Buddipole in the Field was published at Masscon. The book is available under a very generous Creative Commons license as a download and as a paperback book from Buddipole, Inc. The book is intended as a field guide for Buddipole antenna system users and has antenna configurations, modeling results, analysis, and a set of \"cookbook\" instructions that should help everyone with a Buddipole get the most out of that fantastic product. You can find the free PDF version of the book on the Buddipole. Documentation webpage, or you can purchase a paperback copy of the book for $15 from the Buddipole Accessories page.\n100 Pound DXpedition blog now available in PDF book form\nMy 100 Pound DXpedition blog was suspended after about 400 entries. I have rendered it as a single PDF file for convenient download and perusal. You can find it in my public download area under the name 100_Pound_DXpedition_Blog.pdf (select that file and then click the \"Download\" button). There are a couple of lost images and a couple of places where the formatting is ugly. But, it is as complete a view as you'll get of these entries that were posted from June 2006 to November 2007. It is free (of course)!\nThe Massachusetts QRP Convention is over\nThe Massachusetts QRP Convention (Masscon) is now just a scribble in the history books. A couple of photos from the event are available in the gallery here.\nRSGB IOTA Contest DXpedition to Lovells Island (NA-148) July 2010\nI will set up camp on Lovells Island outside Boston Harbor for the RSGB IOTA Contest 24-25 July 2010. Lovells Island is little more than a sandy spot in the Atlantic with no fresh water, no electricity, and limited ferry service. I'll have only what I can carry including food, water, shelters, radios, antennas, batteries, solar panels, and other personal gear. This will be a QRP effort (12 hour category).\nNE1RD to travel to St. Thomas, USVI (NA-106) for CQ WW WPX SSB Contest.\nThe deadlines that scuttled my J6 DXpedition should be well behind me by late March 2010. As a reward, Sandy and I will travel to the beautiful island of St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands for a week of fun in the sun, and the CQ WW WPX SSB Contest. Additional details can be found on the USVI DXpedition page.\nNE1RD drops out of Caribbean Buddies Buddipole DXpedition to St. Lucia (J6).\nIt is with deep regret that I must drop out of the Buddipole DXpedition to St. Lucia. The other eight fellows are going and I'm hoping they'll get great propagation and lots of QSOs in the log. 73 and GUD DX to the entire team!\nColonial Wireless Association, Concord (Massachusetts) 27 January 2010.\nI spoke to the CWA on the Joy of QRP.

PayPal or any major credit card is accepted. Follow the link below for more information!\nFour Days in May (FDIM) 2010\nI have just accepted an invitation to speak at Four Days in May (FDIM) in 2010. FDIM is the QRP convention held in conjunction with the national convention in Dayton, Ohio. The event is run by the QRP Amateur Radio Club International (QRP ARCI) and usually draws about 300 for its Thursday seminars. My presentation will be a variant of my 100 Pound DXpedition talk, obviously adjusted slightly to emphasize the low/QRP power and portable aspects. QRP ARCI is a terrific organization and I'm honored to be a part of next year's event.\nAlgonquin Amateur Radio Club - November 12, 2009\nI gave my 100 Pound DXpedition talk at the Algonquin Amateur Radio Club meeting in Marlborough, MA on November 12, 2009 at 7:30 PM. This is a great group! My talk covered the latest planned DXpedition to St. Lucia (J6).\nMassachusetts QRP Convention - March 2010\nThis is going to be huge! The first ever Massachusetts QRP Convention will be held March 12-13, 2010 at the Westford Regency Inn and Conference Center in Westford, Massachusetts. I am the Principal Organizer--though I am getting lots of help from my friends! We have an amazing slate of speakers scheduled to appear including three members of the QRP Hall of Fame and one Nobel Prize winner.

I only played with the radio a little bit, but I had a great time. I also got to meet NH7Y and his wife, and W6TWA and his wife while on Kauai. Bonus!\nNew audio and video added to the DXpedition area\nI have added some audio and video to the DXpedition pages. A movie, hosted on YouTube, now appears on the Montserrat page. Audio has been added to the Boston Harbor Islands and St. Kitts page.\nNew DXpedition resources page added to the web site\nA new page has been added to the DXpeditions area to provide a home for resources like white papers and URLs helpful for anyone planning a lightweight DXpedition. The white paper Antennas for 100 Pound DXpeditions Volume 1 and the accompanying ZIP file full of EZNEC models is now available. To just take a glimpse, you can still find the paper on issuu.", "domain": "hobby"}

Well, at least, we haven’t here at Occasions for all Children! To help share the wonder of magic, we’ve put together a list of the 10 greatest magic tricks of all time (in our opinion, anyway) so you can feel that childlike awe and excitement all over again.\n1) Switching a Sword for a Jackhammer\nNow, we all know about swallowing swords, but a jackhammer? That’s a whole different game! Magician Thomas Blackthorne showed us how it’s done live on TV, demonstrating that the jackhammer actually worked before putting it down his throat. It’s an amazing trick but you may have to watch from behind your hands!\n2) Death by Saw\nWe can’t not mention magician David Copperfield’s Death by Saw – an incredible and mesmerising trick in which Copperfield ‘accidentally’ saws himself in half with a giant blade before putting himself back together again. Does that not sound like the best thing ever?\n3) Catching Bullets\nPen and Teller performed this wacky trick, in which they used the audience members to add belief by drawing on two bullets, which they then proceeded to shoot into each others mouths and catch in their teeth from across the room. If we were there, we probably wouldn’t have been able to watch!\n4) Dissapearing Teeth\nThe famous magician David Blaine never ceases to amaze with his illusions and trickery. In this quick performance with a random member of the public, Blaine removes the woman’s front teeth (which she doesn’t look too happy about), before making them appear again by simply blowing on her face. What? We don’t understand it either.\n5) Dove Magic\nWilliam Lance Burton stunned with his incredible dove tricks, in which he would seamlessly make a dove appear from a flame in his hand or a length of fabric. The skill in which this highly regarded magician performs this magic is second to none, and though it is not the most flamboyant trick, it’s one of the most incredible to watch.\n6) The Quickest Metamorphosis\nHusband and wife duo The Pendragons performed one of, if not the, fastest magic tricks in history. Their metamorphosis takes the switching of magician’s places to a whole knew level through their incredible speed which just doesn’t seem possible! The fact that Charlotte not only has time to disappear from view and tie herself up in a bag in a few seconds, but she also manages to somehow change her leotard is simply beyond our comprehension.\n7) Walking on Water\nFor a magician to walk on water is in itself quite the feat, but to do so whilst people swim around and beneath them? Well that’s just something else entirely! This is exactly what Criss Angel did in a public pool. The fact that he also dropped his shoes straight down in the water beneath him at one point added to the “how did he do it?” factor of this one.\n8) Chop Cup\nThough many have tried this, Paul Daniels is the unrivalled master of the ball and the cup. His sleight of hand and incredible pace as he moves the ball between his pocket and cup is a sight to behold! The effort he put into perfecting this trick (performing it over 300 times) is evident.\n9) Rings, Rings, Rings\nThough simple and perhaps not one of the most awe-inspiring, the technique and skill from magician Richard Ross in this ring linking trick definitely makes it a deserving addition to the list. Every movement is flawless and fluid – a true joy to watch!\n10) Chinese Water Torture Cell\nHow could we create a list of the best magic tricks without mentioning Houdini? A true wonder and inspiration in the world of magic and one of the greatest magicians we have ever seen. Though the majority of his tricks are fair contenders for our favourite acts, we thought we’d go with his most memorable and often recreated act of being put, head-first, into a water tank with his feet manacled, which he then had two minutes to escape from. The extraordinary thing about this is the fact that Houdini isn’t using illusion, but true skill, and the danger of the act is completely real.\nIf you’re in need of a bit of magic after reading this, Occasions for all Children offer magician hiring services for parties and events. Get in touch with us and we’ll provide you with a skilful magician that’ll certainly liven up any children’s party!", "domain": "hobby"}

The 502A comes in two versions—the “A” ball-base version such as this one, and the “AH” flat-base version which is separately available.\nFeaturing Manfrotto’s patented bridging technology (inherited from the 509 and 504 heads), the 502A is designed for executing cinematic moves with compact camcorders and DSLR video cameras. The weight limit is 15.43 lb and counterbalance supports up to 8.8 lb. The balance plate’s 3.27″ range allows you to correct for uneven payloads that might be due to matte boxes or exotic DSLR rig configurations.\nThe bridging technology ensures that the pan friction control is intuitive and easy to set, but also protected against knocks. There are independent locks for pan and tilt, and drag for both is selectable in a continuous range from zero to the max level. This allows you to operate the head in a confident, smooth manner using the included pan bar.\nManfrotto 546GB Pro Video Tripod with Ground-Level Spreader\nThe Manfrotto 546GB Pro Video Tripod with Ground-level Spreader is an aluminum two stage/3 section tripod that combines stability and strength with affordability.

He was an amateur, an online poker player, someone who won a tournament to qualify for the WSOP.\nThe story was so compelling, the games so interesting, the players so unique, I couldn't help myself. I was hooked.\nAt some point along the way, I learned the rules, and I was off and running. I play the game plenty, too, but I don't play for money. If I ever do, it'll be for pocket change. In that spirit, here are my rules for playing poker without losing your shirt.\n1. Never play for cash online.\nLet me simply put it this way: if you think you might become an alcoholic, you don't order up an unlimited supply of beer. Internet gambling is essentially the same thing. You can wager money, from $0.02 a bet to thousands, any time of day. You can play the tables 24/7. As for me and my house, I'm not even willing to dip my little toe in that pool.\n2. When you have friends over, play for low stakes.\nEven better, play a tournament. Whatever you play, make it a $5 limit. If you'll allow me to use the same analogy I used for rule #1, this is more like social drinking. Safer, and still a lot of fun.\n3. If you ever play in a casino of any kind, play a tournament.\nThere are plenty of inexpensive tournaments, and the competition is fierce. It's good poker, and though you probably won't win a lot to begin with (you may never win, really) you'll learn a lot and you won't lose any more than the cost of the tournament.\nThese rules certainly don't apply to everyone out there. Especially not professional poker players, for whom online gambling is a major boon. (Work from home! Make your own hours! So much dead money, you don't know what to do with yourself!) But they apply to me, and I intend to keep them as best I can.\nIn the meantime, if you feel like a little poker, I'm always game!", "domain": "hobby"}

Fittingly, in a season which has seen so many participation records broken, 347 runners – a new record for this BL venue – completed the familiar 4 mile course around the edge of the industrial estate.\nThe Mens race saw last season’s overall winner, Ricky Challinor of Deeside, provide a reminder of his quality with a 15 second margin of victory in his 12th League win – this ahead of second-placed Gareth Williams of Deestriders. The latter result, however, was sufficient to ensure Gareth succeeded Ricky as overall winner for 2016-17.\nLaura Riches of Buckley maintained her 100% record with a third win in three BL appearances in the Womens race. 35 seconds further back in second place was Ellesmere Port’s Liz Renondeau. But a 5th place finish confirmed the season-long consistency of Wirral’s Sarah Kearney and was just sufficient to clinch her overall victory for 2016-17.\nA huge effort from Buckley RC was needed in Division One of the Mens team competition to overturn the 99 point margin between themselves and leaders Wallasey AC. With 5 of their runners home in the top 17 before the first Wallasey runner, they came desperately close. Wallasey’s strength in depth however was just enough, and getting their 10 counters home in the first 52 was decisive in holding Buckley off by an 18 point margin and guaranteeing them the League title.\nIn the other team competitions, the margins already held by the League leaders were too great for results on the day to make any difference to the outcome of League titles and promotions. Buckley RC were winners on the day from League champions West Cheshire AC in Womens Division One, but were unable to overhaul Wallasey AC for the League runners-up spot. Chester TC‘s win on the night from Wrexham AAC in Mens Division Two confirmed the former’s League title and the latter’s promotion, while the win on the night for Deestriders over Ellesmere Port confirmed the latter’s League title and the former’s promotion.\nWest Cheshire AC held onto their lead in the Veteran Mens competition to clinch that title, and Wirral AC‘s Veteran Women did likewise. Wrexham AAC took the Mens Improvers title, West Cheshire AC the Womens Improvers.\nRace 6: New Brighton – 9th Apr 2017\nWarm spring sunshine on the seafront contrasted vividly with conditions for race 5. 316 runners lined up for the penultimate race of the season, to run a 5.15 mile course which followed the seafront pavement and coastal embankment for two miles, before turning inland, circling Wallasey Golf Club, coming back to the seafront, and returning along the pavement once more.\nAnother dominant performance from Gareth Williams of Deestriders saw him clinch a third victory of the season in the Mens race, 40 seconds ahead of Wirral’s Phil Robertson. In the Womens race, Laura Riches made her second appearance of the season for Buckley and made it two wins out of two, with a 58 second margin over Wirral’s Sarah Kearney.\nIn the Mens and Womens team competitions, the form book was followed all the way through in that the first two clubs in each division were 1st and 2nd respectively on the day. Wallasey AC’s win by 62 points over Buckley RC in Mens Division One gave them a margin of 99 points over their rivals, and left them firm favourites to regain the League title from Wirral AC. Womens Division One saw West Cheshire AC extend an already sizeable lead over Wallasey AC, and leave the top two positions virtually decided already.\nMens Division Two likewise saw Chester TC and Wrexham AAC draw even further away from the rest and all but guarantee promotion, and this story repeated itself in Womens Division Two, with Ellesmere Port RC and Deestriders all but confirmed as winners and runners-up.\nA victory for Wallasey AC‘s Veteran Men over Chester TC on the day gives them an outside chance of overhauling West Cheshire AC for the title. Wirral AC‘s Veteran Women won on the day ahead of Ellesmere Port RC and extended their slender lead over Helsby RC. Wrexham AAC have a comfortable lead in the Mens Improvers category, while West Cheshire AC are favourites for the Womens Improvers trophy.\nFinalised results are posted below.\nRace 5: Manley Mere – 5th Mar 2017\nThe 318 runners who arrived at Helsby RC’s new lakeside venue had driven through heavy rain, sleet and even snow. Fortunately, this gradually abated as the 5.15 mile race, taking in the middle section of the Four Villages Half Marathon course, got under way.\nGareth Williams of Deestriders took his second victory of the season in the Mens race, easing away to a margin of more than a minute ahead of Elliott Cox of Buckley RC. Liz Renondeau of Ellesmere Port RC claimed her first win of the season in the Womens race, holding a 24 second margin over Wirral AC’s Sarah Kearney.\nWallasey AC regained the lead over Buckley RC in Mens Division One, their strength in depth bringing home their 10 counters in the first 41 and putting a 37-point gap between them and their rivals. In Womens Division One, West Cheshire AC’s narrow victory on the day over Helsby RC took them another 40 points clear of their nearest rivals, Wallasey AC.\nWrexham AAC’s continued improvement in Mens Division Two saw them claim victory on the day over distant League leaders Chester TC and consolidate their position in 2nd place. Ellesmere Port RC‘s waltz to the Womens Division Two championship continued with another win on the day, and Deestriders, 2nd again, seem increasingly likely to be promoted with them.\nWest Cheshire AC continue to lead the Veteran Mens division by a reasonably secure margin, while Wirral AC‘s leadership of the Veteran Womens division is coming under challenge from Helsby RC.\nFinalised results are below:\nRace 4: Coleg Cambria, Connah’s Quay – 22nd Jan 2017\nA dank and chilly morning failed to deter another huge field – 371 runners – from taking on Deeside AAC’s short (4.4 miles) but challenging course, with its steep climb up Kelsterton Lane.\nLast season’s overall champion, Deeside AAC’s Ricky Challinor, returned for his first appearance of the season – and won the Mens race by a margin of 10 seconds over Gareth Williams of Deestriders. Far more emphatic was the winning margin in the Womens race, where BL debutant Laura Riches of Buckley RC came home almost a minute and a half ahead of Ellesmere Port RC’s Liz Renondeau.\nBuckley RC fielded their largest ever Mens team – 56 strong – the first ten of whom all finished in the top 50. This sufficed to give them not only a convincing victory on the day over Wallasey AC, but also a 36 point lead over that same club at the top of Division 1. West Cheshire AC extended their lead over Wallasey AC at the head of the Womens Division 1 table despite being narrowly pipped to victory on the day by Helsby RC.\nMens Division 2 saw victory on the day for Chester TC to extend their lead, with Wrexham AAC‘s 2nd place sufficient to take them up to 2nd also in the League. Womens Division 2 saw another massive win for Ellesmere Port RC to extend their lead over Deestriders, who also finished second on the day.\nWest Cheshire AC‘s male Vets maintained a commanding, and Wirral AC‘s female Vets a rather slimmer, lead in their respective competitions.\nRace 3: Birkenhead Park – 4th Dec 2016\nSeasonal distractions – maybe a Santa Dash? or just shopping? – kept the number of finishers on a bright frosty morning in the Upper Park to a “mere” 348. The race, over the usual 4 lap, 5.5 mile course, was smoothly organised by hosts Birkenhead AC.\nWirral AC’s Phil Robertson registered his 2nd win of the winter in the Mens Race, kicking away from the lead group to maintain a 7 second margin over last month’s winner, Gareth Williams from Deestriders. Meanwhile in the Womens Race, Wallasey’s Claire Walton, in her first BL outing since 2010, had a winning margin of 27 seconds over the rapidly improving Katie Clarke of West Cheshire AC.\nWallasey AC had managed to match their record turnout of 65 from the last fixture – and ten of them finished in the first 45 in the Mens race. This gave them a 36 point victory in the Mens Division 1 team race ahead of Wirral AC, and took them into a 100 point lead at the top of Division 1. Victory in the Womens Division 1 team race was however shared with Wirral, both teams scoring 58 points from their 4 counters.\nAn unusually strong male contingent from Wrexham AAC guaranteed that club a big win in the Division 2 Mens race, eclipsing Chester TC in second. This puts them into a position to challenge Abergele Harriers and Cybi Striders for the second promotion spot, with the triathletes still maintaining a big lead at the head of the division. For the Division 2 Women, another huge win for Ellesmere Port RC saw them surge to the top of the table ahead of Tattenhall RC – a distant second on the day.\nWest Cheshire AC‘s male Vets extended, and Wirral AC‘s female Vets maintained, their leads at the head of their respective categories.\nRace 2: Upton-by-Chester – 6th Nov 2016\n430 runners – many having completed cross-country events the previous day – made the 10 a.m. start and braved the chill winds which blew throughout across West Cheshire’s Chester Spring 5 mile course. In so doing, they helped set all manner of turnout records – exceeding the previous overall record turnout by 60, setting a new male turnout record of 296, and a new female turnout record of 134. Wallasey AC also set a record in fielding 65 club members.\nAll change this time in the Mens race – Gareth Williams became the first winner from Deestriders since the turn of the millennium, holding an 18-second margin over Wrexham AC’s Daniel Weston. The Womens race also saw a first-time winner – Carol Parsons of Ellesmere Port RC finishing a comfortable 28 seconds ahead of her club colleague Liz Renondeau.\nDivision 1 Mens team winners on the day were Buckley RC, whose 49-point margin over Wallasey AC was sufficient to take the overall lead. West Cheshire AC remain in close contention, but a weakened Wirral AC dropped back. Another strong performance from West Cheshire AC‘s women (finishing well ahead of Helsby RC on the day) has given them a sizeable lead in the Womens Division 1.\nIn Mens Division 2, Chester TC‘s excellent turnout guaranteed them a big win on the day, ahead of Wrexham AC – sufficient to give them a sizeable lead over the now 2nd placed Abergele Harriers. Meanwhile in Womens Division 2, Ellesmere Port‘s crushing win (1st, 2nd and 6th on the day) made up a lot of the ground lost by a weakened turnout in race 1. Deestriders and Tattenhall RC (2nd on the day) remain at the head of the division, however.\nWest Cheshire AC extended their lead at the top of the Veteran Mens competition, while Wirral AC took over from Chester Tri as the leading Veteran Womens team.\nFinalised results and current team standings can be found below:\nRace 1: Caernarfon – 9th Oct 2016\nA beautiful autumn day saw The Foryd at its most scenic, and a BL course record turnout of 318 finishers (218 men, 100 women) racing the usual 10K course – this year, in the anti-clockwise direction, with the “undulations” saved for the second half of the race.\nDespite the change in direction, it was still deja vu at the sharp end of the Mens race – with Phil Robertson and Phil Langan of Wirral AC repeating their 1-2 from last December. Sarah Kearney made it a double for Wirral with a comfortable win in the Womens race (her 13th BL victory in all), more than a minute ahead of Ellesmere Port RC’s Nicky Whitfield-Bird.\nHowever, on the day, the winning Mens team in Division 1 was Wallasey AC – whose 10 counters finished in the first 65 and edged out Wirral AC by a margin of 32 points. The potential for a very close contest in this division was emphasised by both West Cheshire AC and Buckley RC, who trailed Wirral by just 3 and 8 points respectively.\nWest Cheshire AC took an early lead in the Womens team competition in Division 1, beating last season’s champions Chester TC by 15 points.\nSimilar to Division 1, the Mens team competition in Division 2 could see a close battle with today’s hosts Eryri Harriers taking a narrow 10 point lead at the top from Chester TC, with Abergele Harriers another 16 points further back.\nEryri Harriers’ womens team continued their improvement from the second half of last season with a win in Division 2 by 14 points from Deestriders, with Tattenhall RC a little further back.\nThe new segregated Veterans competitions saw West Cheshire AC make the early running in the Mens competition, taking a sizeable lead over Wallasey AC, while Chester TC took a much narrower lead over Wirral AC in the Womens competition.\nRace 1 Individual results are here\nTeam results are here\nYou can find results of previous years’ races in our Results Archive.", "domain": "hobby"}

I had done some work previously on his electric bass. He mentioned he had an old Gibson mandolin that didn't stay in tune and was worried the tuning machines needed replaced.\nI was overjoyed when I opened the case. It was in great condition and appeared to be all original with the exception of a missing tailpiece cover. I set about fixing the detaching binding first.\nNothing a little cyano glue and some rubber bands can't fix!\nCleanup required just a little scraping of the fingerboard and some ultra fine steel wool against the binding to get rid of any glue residue.\nWhile the strings were off I cleaned and polished the whole instrument and went about trying to date it. I could tell it was a pre-war instrument from the script logo on the headstock and the old fashioned \"guarantee\" label inside.\nAt the time of the paper label, the serial numbers were written in pencil. That of course has faded decades ago, but the ghost of the number can still be made out if held at the precise angle in the right lighting. 36994. The lack of a letter before the number places it on or before 1947, and according to Gibson's records, the last serial number in 1916 was 3200, and the last serial number in 1917 was 39500, which dates this mandolin to 1917.\nLuckily for everyone, the tuning machines are in perfect working order (worm and pinion design with quality metallurgy is hard to fail) and all it needed was some new strings and precise intonation. Now it's playing great and will hopefully continue to for another 98 years.", "domain": "hobby"}

My teaching methods include Suzuki as well as traditional note-reading methods. I love watching young music-lovers become music performers and composers. I specialize in teaching beginner piano students, ages 4 and up. My background includes a Master’s degree and 17+ years of experience teaching a variety of subjects and age groups.\nIndividual and Group Piano Lessons both include sight reading, rhythm practice, music theory, hand coordination, ear-training, and composition. We frequently use games to reinforce learning. Students will build a sense of self-confidence, self-discipline, and self-expression. I recommend group lessons for beginners (<2 years) of all ages.\nMonthly Group Piano Classes include learning games, performance practice, and ear-training. Classes focus on various topics throughout the year. These classes exist to support the community of students currently receiving individual weekly lessons. Having a network of musical peers is crucial to student development, and these classes often give students a strong reminder that their efforts will be recognized.\nI look forward to teaching you, whether child or adult, about the joy of creating music!\nFairfax, Fair Oaks, McLean, Vienna, Falls Church, Herndon\nGoogle Business Listing:\n“My girls started studying the piano with Elizabeth at the ages of 6 and 7. What I hoped for the most was a teacher who would build in them a love of music. Elizabeth is able to strike a nice balance between entertaining a child’s musical interests, instilling foundational theory and coaxing a disciplined approach to the instrument. Most importantly, my girls love music!\nIt’s clear that Elizabeth has spent quite a bit of time thinking through her teaching methods. Always professional, always on time….she encouraged creativity and imagination in my girls. I was surprised and pleased when she encouraged them to compose their own pieces. She introduced them to technology to help them compose but also reinforced the “old school” method using paper and pencil. Elizabeth also provided opportunities for performance. Recitals are expertly executed, and she taught my girls to enjoy and anticipate the opportunity to share music with others rather than stress about perfect performance.\nMy girls have a strong foundation in the piano and have enjoyed every step of the process. I am happy to say that Elizabeth has exceeded every expectation we had for a piano teacher.\n“Thank you for the incredible work you have been doing with [my children]. You opened doors to the music world for them, encourage them to do their best and teach them to believe their abilities. Thanks for all your patience and dedication! You are the BEST”\n“Thank you for your patience with [my son.] I’m more excited than I probably should be because there are so many things he says he doesn’t like to do so I’m happy that he’s playing the piano. His silliness is actually a compliment because he likes you (not true for everyone). He’s even happy to leave school early on Wednesdays when I usually struggle to get him home. Thanks for everything you’re doing.”\n“I didn’t know there could be piano [practice] without yelling!”", "domain": "hobby"}

With the selection of an upright digital piano you don’t need to sacrifice quality or feel, yet you will be able to save money. The digital piano market has progressed quite a bit in the last 10 years. These pianos now come with beautiful finishes that vary from wooden grain to gloss ebony. When the upright case design is combined with digital piano technology the result is a piano that will impress your friends and family while providing studio quality sound.\nAuthentic Keyboard Feel\nWhen you choose a digital piano make sure the keyboard has a realistic feel, many of the higher quality digital models are equipped with a keyboard that is weighted. To go a step further find a model that uses weighted graded hammers as this lends to realism during the playing experience. This makes the higher notes easier to press and lower notes feel heavier, simulating the fee; of an acoustic piano. Authentic Sound Quality\nAs digital piano technology has changed over the years, the sound has become more realistic. Make sure to find a piano that has a realistic sound, a piano that sounds too computerized will most likely lie around unused. High quality digital piano manufacturers have recorded acoustic piano notes and designed the digital piano to play the corresponding note when the key is pushed. If you play the highest key on a digital piano keyboard you will hear the recorded sound of the highest key of an acoustic piano. This is one of the so many ways digital pianos have worked to narrow the gap between the digital pianos and the acoustic. You could always compare the digital and the acoustic sound quality in the piano shop. What finally matters is that the sound of the digital piano you choose pleases your ears. You could lend your friend’s or an expert’s too by bringing him along. Other Good to Have Features & Bonuses\nSome may appreciate the extra features that digital piano manufacturers have incorporated into their pianos.

Raw brass and copper doesn’t need to be soaked. Blot the hardware dry with a clean rag. If you want to make designs on the item, tape off the area or use stickers or a hot glue gun. The areas taped will stay shiny.\nSTEP 2: Dissolve 2 tablespoons of salt in 1 cup of vinegar and pour into a spray bottle. The more salt you use, the more pitted and aged the item will look. Spray the vinegar salt mixture on the metal. For more age, you can sprinkle baking soda on the item as well. This will create a blue/green patina. Pour 1⁄2 ” of household ammonia into the bottom of a plastic tub.\nNOTE: If you simply want an aged brass look with no patina, do not use the ammonia. I will show you the difference on the TV show segment.\nSTEP 3: Place the hardware on the tray. Don’t let the hardware touch the ammonia. Put the tray in the bottom of the plastic tub and cover it with the lid. If you want to hang the hardware so it ages evenly, you will need to drill a hole in the lid and hang it with wire. Let the items sit in the tray with the lid on for a few hours or over night. Check the tub every hour so you can get the desired effect you want. The longer you leave it in, the more aged it will become.\nSTEP 4: Remove the hardware from the plastic tray, rinse it quickly with hot water and let it dry. Take off any surface powder with a damp sponge, blotting the surface, not wiping! Remove the tape, glue or stickers.\nSTEP 5: For a brown patina, take hydrogen peroxide and paint it on the area. To add a metallic multi color finish, you can use JACQUARD metallic pigment powders. Dip a stiff brush in LIQUITEX MATTE VARNISH and then dip the brush into the powder. Stipple the powder into the metal in small circular motions. You will want to use at least two colors.\nSTEP 6: This patina process is FAUX so if you want to wear the item or handle it, you will need to spray on two coats of clear lacquer, nail polish or matte varnish.\nTIP: If you make a mistake, simply submerge the metal item into pure vinegar, scrub with a sponge and start over!\nHEALTH HAZARD INFO: Ammonia is strong! Try to do this outside or in a well ventilated area. NEVER EVER USE BLEACH AND AMMONIA TOGETHER AS IT CAN KILL YOU! YES, SERIOUS!\nHappy crafting and thanks for watching! Remember, we are always buying vintage costume jewelry so stop by if you have some you want to sell.\nMalena and Bruce Chipps", "domain": "hobby"}

And whilst it’s not quite as cold as many other parts of the world, it’s pretty chilly for us! So I’ve been spending a bit more time indoors, stitching and hand sewing. And whenever I’m hand sewing, I always turn to felt.\nPut your hand up if you’re a felt lover! I have to say that I’m addicted to FELT! It’s the most versatile medium and so easy to work with. Especially since I discovered wool felt.\nI love using 100% wool felt and it really makes a difference to the look and feel of each piece I create. It’s less likely to pill or bobble, so it’s great for hand-making toys or pin cushions. It cuts well, doesn’t fray like fabric and can be easily shaped and moulded.\nHere’s my TOP TIPS for hand stitching with felt;\n- Use 100% wool felt or the best quality felt you can afford for your project. It will last longer, and keep its shape better.\n- Be precise with your cutting. Use small sharp scissors with a short blade and pointed tip to get a neat finish and crisp edges when cutting small felt shapes.\n- Use freezer paper or flexible paper templates for shapes. Don’t cut the template out on the line before you start, but leave a small border around the template. Pin the template to your felt and cut out your shape on the line.\n- Make sure you store your felt flat. You can iron 100% wool felt if you need to. Just use a wool heat setting and cover the felt with a press cloth so you don’t damage it.\n- Don’t use wool felt on a project you wish to machine wash. Wool felt and washing machines don’t mix!\n- Learn to master ‘whip stitch’ and ‘blanket stitch’. They are terrific stitches for felt. Whip stitch joins two felt pieces together. I have used it to create this lovely little felt bunny (made from a Gingermelon pattern). Blanket stitch gives a decorative finish and was used to stitch the little blue bunny dress.\nEven though wool felt is a lot more expensive, I don’t think I could go back to using acrylic felt now. Even the range of colours that are available are amazing!\nI’ve been stitching up some really sweet felt projects lately. The tutorial for this pretty pin cushion will appear in the Spring issue of Bespoke Magazine.\nI enjoyed making it so much, that I’ve planned a tutorial for a matching scissor keep and pin cushion ring to share with you soon.\nI’ve also been working on some new patterns, including this adorable Sleepy Cloud Pin Cushion. I even stitched a tiny pin topper to go with it.\nAnd of course, you’ve probably seen my tutorial for the easy Pear Pin Cushion. I love the partridge pin topper.\nFor an easy project to start on, try the Felt Bunnies tutorial.\nAnd once you’ve mastered blanket stitch, Miss Molly is a lovely pin cushion to create for your sewing room, or for a friend!\nLooking for more felt inspiration? I have founds lots of lovely ideas on Pinterest (but of course). So feel free to have a browse through my FELT FUN album, and be sure to follow Molly and Mama on Pinterest if you don’t want to miss future pins!\nI hope you’ve found these tips helpful. If you’ve got more tips to share, please leave me a comment. Happy stitching, Lauren.\nThis post was written by Lauren Wright and appeared first on http://www.MollyandMama.wordpress.com", "domain": "hobby"}

The creator of the treasury Jennifer Hewett of jenhewett.etsy.com was even kind enough to mail me a screen shot of that front page on Monday so that I would be able to see it. Her treasury featured beautiful gray items and it was the first treasury that she had created. So way to go Jen! Needless to say I was ecstatic about this news. Steve was out on the deck reading the Sunday paper and sitting in the sunshine when I was able to tell him. I couldn't even wait to get out to the deck to do my happy dance so I had to let him know through the kitchen window. Well there were significant reasons for this as to go out on the deck would require a change from my pajamas into clothes and I was much too excited to take that long. I will include a photo of Tribute and I will also show a button of this made it to the front page of Etsy. Well that is what I intend to do anyway. That depends on if my computer skills are up to the challenge. I must confess, I couldn't figure this out. It is a wonderful thing to have a daughter that knows how to use a computer!\nI'm a daughter, sister, wife, and mother of three, also a mother- in- \"love\" to two lovely young women, and grandmother. And I am excited to announce a new son-in-\"love\". We just celebrated our daughters wedding! I love to write. I dearly love God and am amazed that I can barely understand how much he truly loves me. I hope to be a compassionate person that tries to be a help to others. I have many health difficulties, such as Fibromyalgia, Arnold Chiari Malformation (which I have had surgery to decompress the malformation) and Sjogren's. I want to be known as a person who loves others, who tries to be kind, who has a deep faith in God, who is just so totally in love with my family, and did I mention my beautiful grandsons? I want to be more than a label of chronic illnesses, but even though that is a difficult part of my life, I also want to be a listening ear, or empathetic heart, to others who suffer from these same difficulties. Well, that pretty much sums up me!", "domain": "hobby"}

If you love cookies and like a little bit of challenge, then Word Cookies is the game for you. This game is so much fun that you will forget everything else once you start playing, maybe except cookies. You will want more cookies.\nWord Cookies is a new production of BitMango, the same company who created HIT app, Roll the Ball- slide puzzle and Block hexa puzzle. And let me tell you, they do not disappoint.\nIt is a very straightforward game. You don’t need many instructions before you can start playing this game. Once you start the game, you will find that there is a jumble of letters available to you on the screen and a number of block slots for formed words. A word can be formed from the jumble words in a vertical, horizontal, diagonal or even backward direction. What you have to do is to fill up all word slots using words formed from the jumble letters. And to form a word from the jumble letters, simply swipe your finger over a word to select it. If you select a valid word, then congratulations! Your selected word will be highlighted and marked on the word list. If it is a valid word, it will create a green link whereas a wrong combination of letters will leave a red trail.\nIf you manage to fill all the word slots, you will have finished the current level, and the next level will be unlocked. The game keeps on getting harder as you keep on unlocking new levels. You will also win points and gold coins as you successfully complete levels and you can use these gold coins to get a hint if get stuck anywhere in the game. You can also reshuffle the jumble letters if you think that you can’t find any correct words in the current shuffle.\nA lot of words are hidden in the jumble letters. You can even find derived words from the main words. This game will help you develop your brain by asking it to find patterns in the jumble letters. You can also increase your vocabulary skills with the help of this game. And let’s not about the cookies. Who doesn’t love cookies? I do! Everyone does. It is so much fun to play cookies in various kinds. You can also feel achievement as you make more cookies and get more points. You will also be given a bonus reward if you play it daily.

To become decent at strumming one has to have a lot of strumming patterns down cold, and techniques like palm muting become important.\nThe basic strumming technique, whether using a pick or not, is done with a stiff wrist, where your strumming hand moves like a pendulum across the strings. The strumming pattern is created by alternating between hitting and not hitting strings when your hand is on its way up or down.\nStrumming patterns are typically notated with and up/down arrows indicating which way your hand should hit the strings, but sometimes a d/u and / for break is used instead. Usually, these notations only serve as a guideline and do not tell time, so you would still have to listen to the song you want to play to get it right.\nHere are some strumming patterns I've come across:\nN.B. There are several other possible suitable patterns. The suggested one sometimes are not always the exact ones palyed on original recording, but in some cases are the simplest.

need for me to type it up again when others have said it better than I ever could:\nStrumming with a pick:\nA lot of beginners have problems strumming with a pick because they hold it at an angle which lets it glide across the strings downwards, but catches if they try an upstroke. So they try altering the angle for upstrokes, which means rotating the wrist all the time between strokes - very unnatural and awkward.\nIn fact, the best method is to hold the pick at 90° to the strings for up and downstrokes. Ideally use a thin, bendy pick, and grip it tightly, with plenty of point showing. The pick will give as it passes over the strings - and if the angle is right, it will work in both directions. If you only have a medium or thick pick. hold it loosely and let it give as you strum. Try and keep your wrist angle the same, both up and down.\nStrumming with fingers:\nIf your nails are long, best method (IMO) is to use the backs of your fingernails for downstrokes, and back of the thumbnail for upstrokes.\nAlternatively the thumb will do for both strokes, but hold it. Experiment with different angles, but you should find something that works without too much difficulty.\nStrumming with a pick is generally better, because it gives a cleaner, more precise sound, and more dynamic range (you can strum pretty quietly with a pick if you do it right).\nFingers (even with nails) give a softer, more vague sound - and if you do it too much you can wear down your nails, which is a problem if you want to use them for fingerpicking.\nWith all strumming methods, pivot mainly from the elbow. The forearm should move like a metronome: down on the beats, up between the beats - whether you hit the strings on each stroke or not. You don't change your arm movement for different strumming patterns - you just vary which passes of your hand (up or down) make contact with the strings.\n(Watch as many rhythm players as you can. You rarely see their arms move in a complicated way, even on complex, syncopated patterns. They may shorten the stroke sometimes, but they rarely change direction, ie, to play upstrokes on the beat.)\nIt's a little more complicated for rhythm patterns that use 16th notes (eg \"Smells Like Teen Spirit\" or \"Wonderwall\" - then the downward movement tends to be on every 8th note; but the main 1/4 note beats are still the most forceful downward moves.\nWith upstrokes (even with some downstrokes), you rarely need to hit all the strings - frequently upstrokes only contact the top 3 or 4 strings, and this is fine. Rhythm guitar is more about percussive, rhythmic feel than full chords for the harmony.", "domain": "hobby"}

I am a composer, musician, producer, and educator based in the Blue Mountains area, Australia!\nI first heard and saw a handpan in 2015 and I was immediately drawn to this incredible instrument. The 'UFO-shape' look, the sonic possibilities, the wide range of playing techniques and the beautiful art behind making such a unique instrument are both fascinating and inspiring aspects to me.\nSo, in the hope that you will love the handpan as much as I do, I welcome you to...\nIn a nutshell, the 'HandpanBlueMountains' project aims to promote the handpan through live music performances across the Blue Mountains region.\nEver since I got my first handpan I thought to myself \"I need to share the beauty of this instrument with others being it for entertainment, for meditation, or even as a way to achieve spiritual growth\".\nI guarantee that when you first see a handpan and hear its unique and rich sound your first word will be...\"WOW\"!\nIt happens all the time!\nAmaze your guests, customers, clients and/or friends with the magical sound (and look!) of the handpan.\nWhile its mellow, calming and yet rich sound is ideal for meditation sessions, yoga classes, and background music at cafes, restaurants, hotels and retreat centres, a live handpan performance can also be exciting and upbeat! It all depends on the context of the event!\nOne man and one instrument.\nNo computers. No cables. No speakers. No loud noises. No sound check. No electricity needed. No carbon footprint!\nVenues and events:\nCafes and Restaurants - Meditation Sessions - Gyms (Yoga classes)\nSpas and Retreat Centres - Hotels and Conferences\nPrice might vary due to location, duration of the performance and type of event.\nFor more info, quotes and bookings, please use the button below\nHBM - Short Demo Videos\nHBM - Demo #1\nHBM - Demo #2\nHBM - Demo #3\nHBM - Demo #4\nI purchased my first handpan from 'Celestial Sound' and I could not be happier with both the quality of the instrument and the customer service by Tim Tom. He is professional and a very talented handpan maker based in Melbourne, Victoria. Besides, he is a kind, friendly and honest person! So, if you live in Australia and would like to own a handpan, I highly recommend 'Celestial Sound'.\nTim Tom is the heart and soul, the creator and Pansmith of Celestial Sound in Melbourne, Australia. Since he first heard the beautiful melodic sounds of the Hang© in Peru in 2010, he has been on a quest to bring the songs of Handpans and Pantams alike into the world. Since purchasing his first Handpan in 2014, he has immersed himself in the Handpan community, living and breathing Handpan (and adding quite a few instruments to his personal collection!). In 2018, he began his journey to learn to build Handpans, realising he wanted to do what he could to birth more of these incredible instruments into the world. His passion for these instruments is infectious.\nCurious to find out more about this amazing instrument? Find below a few questions to get you started...\nMEET THE ARTIST\nHenrique Dib is a multi-award winning composer, musician, producer and educator. His passion for music, composition and improvisation goes beyond explanation.\nHe graduated in 2009 from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music with an Honours First-Class Degree in composition and the University of Sydney Medal. During his studies, Henrique received an unprecedented number of composition scholarships, 14 in total, including USYD's International Merit Scholarship for 5 consecutive years. He was also included in the Dean's list of excellence in academic performance and received an invitation to join the Golden Key International Honours Society.\nAs a composer, Henrique writes music for all forms of screen media and concert music. His works have been performed and broadcasted in several countries including Australia, Sweden, Germany, Italy, China, France, Finland and Brazil. Some of his clients include Telstra, Kia Motors, Foxtel, Unicef, OPSM, Singapore Tourism and the Australian Government to name a few. His list of awards and nominations include APRA Screen Music Awards, APRA Tropscore, APRA Professional Development Awards, New York Annual Awards, London International Film Awards, OZFLIX Film Awards, and the ASA National Songwriting Awards. As a musician, he is a trained classical & jazz pianist but he also plays the piano accordion, the handpan and a few other instruments. He performs regularly as a freelancer musician in bands as well as a solo artist both in Australia and overseas. As an educator, Henrique has over 20 years of experience in teaching jazz piano, composition, music production, music theory, music technology and improvisation. He teaches both online and at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.\nIn 2017, in search of new challenges, he started a new project called ‘WavebeatsMusic', an online production music brand/label dedicated to providing original music to video creators and production houses around the globe. In just 4 years, this project has grown exponentially reaching 13000+ music licenses sold in over 162 countries worldwide, has established a strong online presence, and has become Henrique's main line of work today.\nIn 2020, as a way to share his love for the handpan with others, Henrique started yet another project called 'HandpanBlueMountains' where he provides live handpan music to venues and events across Australia's Blue Mountains region. This project is quite personal to him as he finds the handpan a unique instrument capable of helping him in his own journey towards spiritual growth with a deeper connection with nature & animals, sustainability, veganism, minimalism, and transcendental meditation.\nHenrique lives in the beautiful Blue Mountains region, Australia, with his wife and their little cavoodle dog named 'Phoebe'. He enjoys gardening, bush walks, bike rides, astronomy, and most recently became a photography enthusiast in landscape, nature, and macro photography. He also holds a degree in civil engineering but never really worked as an engineer due to his passion for music.\nFor more info, click on the websites below:", "domain": "hobby"}

Think American-style High School Band with drums, brass and dancers….add in some flags and tuned percussion instruments and around 50 young people.” The group has no auditions, so young people of all levels can take part, learn new skills and meet new people.\nBusiness Development Manager, Brendan Clancy, whose daughters are part of the troupe explained, “This is a fantastic organisation that teaches young people so much more than music and dance and through my daughters’ involvement I’ve seen the positive impact it has.\n“The group keep the children’s subscription fees low to allow everyone to take part, but the down side of that is that they lose approximately £100 for each rehearsal they have, so our donation will fill that gap for a couple of sessions. I’d also like to say a big thank you to our supply chain who have made similar contributions to help this fantastic group continue.”\nIf you’d like to learn more about Liberty Drum Corps you can visit their website here: http://www.libertydrumcorps.org.uk/ and we hope you’ll join us in wishing them good luck at the National Championships in October.blog comments powered by Disqus", "domain": "hobby"}

The most important and time-consuming job is the correct preparation of ground and surface. A family familiar with gardening should have no difficulties to put down turf grass no larger than 300m2. Anything larger then 300m2 we recommend you choose one of the landscapers. Find out more about the preparation of the ground and the process of laying down the turf grass.\nIs turfgrass artificial?\nEasyGreen Turfgrass is completely natural product. It is a mass of living plants and soil. Grass rolls are specially grown grass fields cut into smaller sections, rolled up and prepared to be installed as a garden. Very often turf grass is mixed up with artificial grass rolls. Remember – artificial grass is not a living organism, it has been created in a factory. It does not smell, does not grow and most importantly it does not produce oxygen, like natural grass. It has been scientifically proven that 250m2 of lawn produces enough oxygen for a family of 4.\nAre there different types of turfgrass?\nTurfgrass can differ depending on the following criteria:\n- Seed mix. EasyGreen can offer 4 different selections of lawn\n- The size of the roll – classic roll is 40cm wide, but there are 60cm, 1m, 1.2m, and even 2.4m widths available worldwide.

We are, first & foremost, devoted animal people- surrounded daily with literal herds of wonderful creatures – great and small. We’re not embarrassed to say it: they really do make each day worth living.\nOur large and photogenic group of friends currently includes horses, texas longhorn cattle, cats, dogs, a blue-tongue lizard, budgies, cockatiels, a poddy sheep and a very grumpy, one-person goat!\nEach animal has its own personality and there are always “moments”. You know the ones…they’re funny, happy, cute, proud and sometimes heartbreaking. As such, our digital memory cards are always full to overflowing. The natural solution, as you would understand, led us to our local scrapbook shops and others we conveniently passed by in our travels. Sadly, there were few animal related items to satisfy our insatiable need.\nThis, we considered to be a serious issue, serious enough to start a business. Creative Creatures is addressing the problem, by bringing together a wide range of animal-themed scrapbook supplies. We’ve even designed our own range of scrapbook papers for pets around the sorts of photographs that animal people take…cuddles, baths and just hanging out. Oh yes, we have albums worth.\nAnd because we recognise that there’s a huge range of pet and animal friends, we’ve made it our mission to stock products for all different species.\nWe’re aiming to create the biggest and best range of animal scrapping products on the web, and to provide you with a website that is really easy to use.

Sign up is below.\nOver 30 years ago, Suzanne Wagner began her journey to understand relationships, love, sexuality, and intimacy. That journey took her from the passions of being a Principal Ballet dancer, where she lived and breathed the intense emotional world of ballet. Then she dove into the healing arts and became a licensed massage therapist and craniosacral therapist, where she worked with many who had experienced trauma and emotional damage. That then led her to go into Kundalini Yoga and the White Tantric Yoga path. And from there she began to see the patterns of beliefs, fears, and traumas that restrict the flow of deep emotional intimacy in the dance of love and relationships.\nIt was a deeply personal journey that awakened within her the Divine Feminine essence and allowed her to move into the realms of Tantra and the wisdom of Vajrayana Buddhism.\nSuzanne is not just a teacher, she is a keeper of many of the ancient teachings and traditions and is a master at synthesizing the esoteric wisdom into forms and exercises that make sense to the modern mindset.\nThis class is unlike any other you have experienced. It is filled with information that expands your mind and helps you see how you have been holding the energy of sexuality and intimacy. She gives you tools that you can use that open love and deepen intimacy.\nMany have said that they have never been in the presence of someone who can literally speak so openly and authentically about sexuality and the deeper wisdom that comes from the passionate world that enlivens life.\nThis class is one to not miss. She does not teach this class often because honestly, only a few brave souls are at the place in their emotional and spiritual growth to even want to go into the scary places of the lower chakras.\nRemember, “No Part of Yourself May Be Left Behind”. It is in deep passion that you cannot hide from yourself or from another. It is in deep passion that you discover the power that you have hidden from yourself and your God connection.\nIt is only through love and trust that you learn to become Authentic and whole.\nJoin us. Let us explore the dance of energy that is love and that has always been the glue that holds life together.\nCost of this class is $200 per person.\nHours: 10 am to 6 pm both days. You are required to attend both days.\nSnacks and drinks included in the cost of the workshop, plus a copy of Suzanne’s Book, “Becoming Authentic – Lessons in Tantra.”\nThere will be a break for lunch and the workshop is in the heart of Holladay.

We were thinking of a tiny Linux based audio board that would even fit in the smallest housings or speakers. Super flexible connector options as well as very low power consumption had also high priority. Existing solutions were either too bulky with connectors always on the wrong place (e.g. all the standard single-board-computers like RPi or BBB) or were just too expensive to integrate in a low quantity project (basically all the system-on-modules / SOMs).\nWe really wanted this dream to become true so we pulled the trigger and started the development. The result is a 65 mm x 48 mm sized board with a maximum hight of 4,5 mm called PolyCore1.\nAt the heart of PolyCore1 there is an i.MX6 UltraLight from NXP. We took this specific processor because of its great audio connectivity, the very low power consumption and of course its long-term availability and the superior documentation + software support the vendor offers. We carefully selected this SoC and it perfectly meets all the requirements for a high quality audio streamer.\nSome of the core features of PolyCore1 are three independent serial audio interfaces (I2S), S/PDIF input + output, power management for low power operation, 2x USB, native Ethernet, 2x SD, RTC, ONOFF button handler, 24bit RGB display interface and much more.\nThe standard versions is clocked at 528 MHz and comes with 512 MB DDR3L RAM, a native Ethernet PHY 10/100 that supports Wake-On-LAN (WoL), all the power management and a RGB LED for status indication.\nBut wait! Where are all the connectors for power, LAN and the SD card? This looks much more like a hard to integrate system-on-module (SoM) rather than a simple to handle single-board-computer (SBC)!\nPolyCore1 combines the best of both worlds. It is as small and as flexible as a SoM but also as easy to handle as a SBC. All the bulky components are off-loaded on a small separate PCB that gets connected via a super flexible FPC cable. All connectors -including the SD card that holds the operating system- are bundled together on a single location. Never worry again about accessing the SD card or power connectors that are on the wrong side!\nSame goes for the AUDIO, the LCD and the GPIO connector. All peripherals can be connected using FPC cables. This is much more professional and also a lot more space saving than any other solutions.\nThe interface board (65mm x 30 mm) including connectors for RJ45 LAN, USB host, USB slave (power), S/PDIF out and the SD card will ship with the standard version of PolyCore1.\nThere will be a range of great audio peripheral boards as well as a 800 x 600 LCD with capacitive touch and also a native WiFi+BT extension a bit later.\nThe price point of all the components will be very appealing if you take into consideration that all is engineered and also manufactured in Germany.\nWe will provide you with a customized Linux kernel that includes all the necessary drivers for our additional products. We are also offering a Debian Jessie image for rapid development and a custom distribution dedicated to audio streaming called PolyOS.

Points are awarded for picking the correct team. Bonus points are also awarded for picking the correct number of games that each series will last, regardless of who wins the series. For example, let's say the New Jersey Devils defeated the Buffalo Sabres in 7 games. Points would be given for anyone picking the Devils to win the series. Additional points would be awarded if the Devils\nwere actually picked to win in 7 games. However, if you picked the Sabres\nto win in 7 games, only the bonus points would also be awarded. The point\nsystem per playoff round is listed below.\n- Selections will be made prior to each round, so that you do not have to give one set of picks for the entire playoff tournament. The matchups and deadline will be announced shortly after the end of the previous round.\n- To make your selections for the current round, go here.\n- Additional bonus points will be awarded for pre-playoff predictions of each Conference Champion (25 points each) and the Stanley Cup champion (50 points).\nHere's how the points are given:\n|Stanley Cup Finals\nAn additional 20 points will be awarded to any player for each team\nthat they correctly predict - prior to the start of the playoffs - to reach the\nfinals. 30 bonus points will be awarded if a player correctly predicts the\nStanley Cup champ - also before the playoffs begin.\n- Joe DiFiore (JAD) - 2004 (and defending) Champ\n- Deron Mason (DM)\n- Paul Eblacker (PE)\n- Andy Jewell (AJ)\n- Scott Chenier (SC)\n- Dave Willett (DW)\n- Jim Teresco (JT)\n- Rob Foulis (RF)\n- Todd Mayen (TM)\n- Chris Bergman (CB)\n- JoMarie DiTata (JoD)\n- Bruce Steltzer (BS)\n- Melissa Weise (MW)\n- Andy Weise (AW)", "domain": "hobby"}

Let's make them proud!Details:\nEveryone will have an opportunity to draw a Toad Patrol character. We will try to get everyone from the main Toad Patrol group filled, but if we get more than eight sign-ups, then we will expand to include more support characters.\nHere's how this will work:\nEvery person who signs up must put three characters they'd be willing to draw. One of those choices will be your character so choose wisely.\nIf you participated in the last collaboration, you can't choose the character you drew again. This will allow everyone an opportunity to draw their favourite character(s).Example Sign-Up:\n2. Slippery Jack\n3. Elf CupRules:\nThe rules are similar to the previous time, but there have been some changes so please read the rules carefully.\n1. Your character must be digitally drawn or digitized (high-quality scan - no photos with your camera/cell phone) with a transparent background. This is sometimes a point of confusion, so I'll make things clear: a white background is not transparent and if you're planning on making the background the same colour as deviantART green, then you may as well erase it. If you need details on how to do this properly, don't hesitate to send a message along. The Toad Patrol Club team is prepared to help you out.\n2. No shading! I know this will be tough, but unfortunately, the last time we did this, the light sources were all over the place. That wasn't anyone's fault; everyone did as they were asked. But it made it difficult to place the toadlets in the background. For this collaboration, one person will shade all of the characters when assembling them on the background to make it easier. (If we get a volunteer shader and backgrounder, then that'd be excellent! Anyone who wants to skip drawing the characters and just do the shading or the background is welcome to do so. They will be credited as being part of the collaboration.)\n3. You are allowed to have props, but the props may not obscure the character unless they're a familiar part of the character. They also may not be shaded.\nExamples of what is okay:\n- Oyster using her see-all.\n- Slippery Jack looking at his path-finds, though please be reasonable. Don't use his path-finds to hide his body on purpose.\n- Beauty Stem with her petals down.\n- A character observing or smelling a flower as long as it doesn't block any part of their face/body in any significant way. (You won't be penalized if the stem is blocking out part of their hand, but you will be if their face/body is buried in the flower.)\n- A character observing a small rock/gem.\nExamples of what is not okay:\n- Plopping down a giant anything in front of your character.\n- Obscuring your character's face with anything that isn't a part of them or a familiar part associated with them.\n4. Your character may face forward or either side, partially or fully. They may not have their back facing the audience.\n5. Once you've been given your assignment and have finished your image, please provide a method of download for the people running the collaboration. Whether it's a Sta.sh download or a high-resolution download from your page, we must be able to download it to include it.\n6. The possibilities are vast. As long as your picture follows the collab rules and club rules, you're golden.\n7. If you have any questions that may not have been answered by either rule set, then please send a private message along to Tinker-JetDeadline:\nThursday, March 1st, 2018", "domain": "hobby"}

Either the poker player wins, or even the banker wins, or you will find a tie. The game was supposedly launched into France from Tuscany about late 1400. It is a game which includes three types – baccarat banque, baccarat chemin de fer, and punto banco. Whilst the former two enable the gamers to make a option, which involves ability and strategy when they play baccarat, punto banco is totally a game of good fortune. There exists a excellent hype around this game, but it really is pretty easy to understand. The makers of online gambling houses in some way understood it and launched it for the public and eliminated the myth that Baccarat is simply for high rollers and the super high level.\nWithin a live baccarat game, a poker player can converse using the dealership and the fellow gamers. They can also watch the dealership mix up the cards. In property gambling houses, the dealership only shuffles the cards and wrist watches on the betting. However, in live baccarat, the dealership also takes the role in the banker, which within a normal game is done from the gamers, subsequently. If someone isn’t willing to play the game, he/she can also place wagers around the game. They can wager around the gamers winning the game, the banker winning the game, or even a tie. At the outset of the game, the dealership takes wagers. The wagers are off after the dealership publicizes, “No longer wagers”. To start the game, the dealership offers two cards deal with up. The first and the third cards go the poker player and the second and the fourth playing card go to the dealership. The majority of the gambling houses use 8 decks for the game, however some use 6 and 1 decks also.\nIn baccarat, the objective in the game is to obtain a hand totaling 9 or as close to that particular as you can. The playing card 10 up-wards, i.e. the image cards are used as . The rest in the cards are used at deal with worth and the Ace as 1. The principles of all of the cards dealt to some poker player are measured and if the sum surpasses 9, then just the second value of the sum is taken into account. So, if a poker player has cards 2 and 6, then this total worth is 8. However, if a poker player has 5 and 9, then this total worth is 14, which surpasses 9. So, only 4 is recognized as for the purpose of the game. A poker player can ask for a 3rd playing card if the total value of the initial two cards is less than 5, or even a 10. The dealership can also have a 3rd playing card if a poker player does so.\nPlaying baccarat has been famously shown in David Bond’s On line casino Royale in which the well-known spy performs the game using a group comprising the villain. James Bond was displaying playing the game in Dr. No, Thunderball, In Her Majesty’s Secret Services, and Gold Eye. It is a noble game which includes now moved on from your high level for the simpler people, thanks to online live gambling houses.\nThe main goal in the game is always to arrive as close to 9 as you can, without having groing through. The hand nearest 9 wins. The game will begin after you have placed your wagers. You will find 3 kinds of wagers that you simply can place. You can bet around the poker player, around the banker, or perhaps in a tie. You are going to then be dealt two cards, therefore will the dealership. In case your hand total is 9 you do have a “all-natural” and also you earn instantly. In case you are dealt a 5 as well as a 6 for instance, you may not bust. The value of your hand is measured as 1, less 11.\nRight after your initial two cards have already been dealt, you can pull additional cards in order to. If you wan to earn at baccarat you need to be the nearest 9. You can be prepared to be compensated even cash on a winning poker player bet. Banker wagers have a tendency to earn more regularly, but you must pay out a certain percentage for the on line casino for each winning banker bet.\nThis is pretty much all there exists to know about baccarat. As you can view the guidelines are incredibly simple. No mater if you decide to play baccarat within a property dependent on line casino or you decide to play online baccarat, you are sure to have a good time and maybe earn a lot of money. You need to know that we now have 3 kinds of baccarat games. We are going to jsdzym discuss them in more detail another time, the main thing to consider would be the guidelines of baccarat and understand how the game is performed. If you know the basic principles you may effortlessly pick on any variations.", "domain": "hobby"}

And if you want to learn more about the differences between ball head and pan-tilt tripods, our article on ball head vs. pan-tilt tripods is definitely worth a read.\nWhy Choose a Ball Head Tripod for Outdoor Photography?\nWhen it comes to outdoor photography, a ball head tripod is an essential tool for many photographers. The main reason why you should choose a ball head tripod for outdoor photography is the flexibility it provides. Unlike other types of tripods, ball head tripods allow photographers to make quick and precise adjustments to the camera’s position, making it easier to capture the perfect shot.\nAdditionally, ball head tripods are also much more versatile because they can support a wider range of camera equipment. They have a higher weight capacity than other types of tripods, which means that they can support heavier cameras and lenses without wobbling or tipping over. This makes them ideal for outdoor photography, where the camera equipment needs to be stable and secure in unpredictable terrain or windy conditions.\nBall head tripods are also lightweight and compact, which is perfect for photographers who need to carry their equipment over long distances. They are easy to set up and take down, which means that photographers can focus on capturing the perfect shot instead of wasting time setting up their equipment.\nThere are several features that make ball head tripods the ideal choice for outdoor photography, including their flexibility, versatility, and portability. With their higher load capacity and ability to provide precise adjustments, ball head tripods are an invaluable tool for capturing the perfect outdoor shot. If you’re interested in learning more about ball head tripods, check out our article on choosing the right ball head tripod for your camera.\nFeatures to Consider When Choosing a Ball Head Tripod for Outdoor Photography\nWhen it comes to outdoor photography, having a reliable tripod is essential to capture the perfect shot. A ball head tripod is a popular choice for photographers who need flexibility and ease of use in their equipment. However, not all ball head tripods are created equal, and there are several important features to consider when choosing the right one for your needs. From load capacity to locking mechanism, each aspect can greatly impact your photography experience. Let’s explore the top features to keep in mind when selecting a ball head tripod for your outdoor photography adventures, including the importance of weight capacity and how it can affect your shooting options. Learn more about ball head tripod weight capacity here.\nWhen choosing a ball head tripod for outdoor photography, load capacity is one of the most important features to consider. This refers to the maximum weight that the tripod can support. It is important to choose a tripod with a load capacity that can accommodate the weight of your camera and any additional accessories you may be using, such as a heavy lens or a flash.\nDifferent ball head tripods will have different load capacities, so it is important to check the specifications before making a purchase. Below is a table with examples of different load capacities and the types of cameras they can support:\n|Compact and point-and-shoot cameras\n|Entry-level DSLR cameras with small to medium lenses\n|Professional DSLR cameras with heavy lenses\nIt is important not to exceed the load capacity of your tripod, as this can result in instability and even damage to your equipment. For videography, a higher load capacity is recommended as video equipment can be heavier and more bulky than photography equipment. Check out our article on ball head tripods for videography tips to learn more about choosing the right tripod for video.\nWhen choosing a ball head tripod for outdoor photography, make sure to consider the load capacity as well as other important features such as size and weight, material, and locking mechanism. With the right tripod, you can capture stunning outdoor photographs with stability and ease.\nSize and Weight\nWhen choosing a ball head tripod for outdoor photography, size and weight are important factors to consider. The greater the size and weight of the tripod, the more stable it will be. However, larger and heavier tripods can be cumbersome to carry and may not be practical for certain outdoor photography situations.\n- Size: The size of the tripod is determined by its extended height and its collapsed length. Consider the maximum height you need for your shooting and how compact you need the tripod to be when on the move. A taller tripod provides more flexibility in terms of camera placement, while a shorter tripod may be more stable in windy conditions or for low-angle shots.\n- Weight: Consider the weight of the tripod as it will add extra weight to your camera bag. A heavier tripod will be more stable in windy conditions but can be tiring to carry during long hikes. Conversely, a lighter tripod is more portable but less stable in strong winds, further, be aware that the camera equipment that you are going to use with the tripod also contributes to the load weight.\nTo give an idea about size and weight options on the market there is a table to compare selected models:\n|Maximum Height (inches)\n|Collapsed Length (inches)\n|Vanguard Alta Pro 263AB 100\n|Gitzo GT5563GS Systematic\nThe Vanguard Alta Pro 263AB 100 is the lightest model, making it ideal for carrying over long distances, while the Gitzo GT5563GS Systematic is the heaviest and may be better suited for photographing static subjects in windy conditions.\nWhen choosing a ball head tripod for outdoor photography, material is an important factor to consider. The material can affect the tripod’s durability, stability, and weight. Here are some commonly used materials for ball head tripods:\n– Lightweight yet strong\n– Resistant to corrosion and scratches\n|– Not as stable as other materials\n– Not suitable for extremely low temperatures\n|– Lightweight yet sturdy\n– Provides better stability than aluminum\n– Resistant to temperature changes\n|– More expensive than aluminum\n– Can be prone to cracking under impact\n|– Lightweight yet strong\n– Resistant to corrosion and impact\n– Provides better stability than aluminum\n|– More expensive than aluminum\n– Can be prone to cracking under impact\n|– Provides the best stability\n– Resistant to impact and extreme temperatures\n– Can be prone to rusting\nWhile aluminum is the most common material due to its affordability and lightweight, it may not be suitable for certain outdoor conditions where stability is crucial. Carbon fiber and magnesium alloy provide better stability and are more resistant to temperature changes but are also more expensive than aluminum. Steel, on the other hand, is the heaviest but provides the best stability and is resistant to impacts and extreme temperatures. Ultimately, the material choice will depend on the user’s specific needs and budget.\nWhen considering a ball head tripod for outdoor photography, the size of the ball is an important factor to consider. The ball size will determine the maximum amount of weight that can be supported by the tripod head. A larger ball will generally have a higher load capacity, but may also result in a larger and heavier tripod overall.\nSome key points to keep in mind when considering the ball size include:\n- Load capacity: As mentioned, the size of the ball is directly related to the load capacity of the tripod head. If you plan to use larger or heavier equipment, such as a DSLR camera with a telephoto lens, you may want to consider a tripod with a larger ball (e.g. 40mm or larger) to ensure stability.\n- Handling: A larger ball can also make it easier to make fine adjustments to the position of your camera or other equipment. This is particularly important for outdoor photography, where conditions may be less predictable and you need to be able to quickly adjust your equipment to get the perfect shot.\n- Compatibility: When choosing a ball head tripod, make sure the ball size is compatible with any other equipment you plan to use. Some cameras and lenses may have specific requirements for tripod mounts, and using the wrong size could result in instability or equipment damage.\n- Weight: Keep in mind that a larger ball will typically result in a heavier tripod overall, which can be more difficult to transport and set up. If you plan to use your tripod for travel or hiking, a smaller ball size may be a better option.\nThe ball size is an important consideration when choosing a ball head tripod for outdoor photography. It can impact the load capacity, handling, compatibility, and weight of the tripod, so it’s important to choose a size that’s appropriate for your equipment and needs.\nOne of the most important features to consider when choosing a ball head tripod for outdoor photography is the locking mechanism. This mechanism determines how tightly the ball head can be locked in place, which affects the stability and security of your camera.\nThere are several types of locking mechanisms available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Below is a table summarizing the most common locking mechanisms:\n|Simple and easy to use, allows for quick adjustments\n|May not be able to support heavier equipment, can slip over time\n|Quick and easy to use, can support heavier equipment\n|May be less precise and limited in adjustment possibilities\n|Highly stable and secure, can support heavy equipment\n|May be slower to adjust, requires more effort to use\nWhen considering a locking mechanism, it is important to think about the weight and size of your equipment, as well as how frequently you will need to make adjustments. If you are shooting with heavier equipment, a more secure locking mechanism may be preferable. On the other hand, if you need to make frequent adjustments to your camera angle, a friction-based mechanism may be more suitable.\nUltimately, the locking mechanism you choose will depend on your personal preferences and shooting style. It is recommended to try out a few different types of locking mechanisms before making a final decision.\nThe base of a ball head tripod is an important feature to consider when choosing a model for outdoor photography. Here are some factors to keep in mind:\n- Flat or bowl base: The base can either be flat or bowl-shaped. A flat base is better for general use, as it can be used on any surface. However, a bowl base is ideal for rough terrain, as it can be more stable and allow for smoother movement.\n- Compatibility: Make sure the base of the ball head tripod is compatible with your camera equipment. Some tripods have interchangeable bases or come with adapters to fit different cameras.\n- Material: The material of the base can affect its durability and stability. Look for a base made of high-quality materials such as aluminum or carbon fiber.\n- Base diameter: The diameter of the base can affect the stability of the tripod. A wider base can offer more stability, but may also make the tripod heavier and bulkier to carry.\n- Leg angles: Some ball head tripods offer adjustable leg angles, which can help you set up on uneven terrain and provide additional stability.\n- Center column: Some ball head tripods also have a center column that can be raised or lowered to adjust the height of the camera. However, this can also affect the stability of the tripod.\nConsidering these factors can help you choose a ball head tripod with a base that will best suit your outdoor photography needs.\nWhen it comes to choosing the right ball head tripod for outdoor photography, the head movement is one of the key features that photographers should consider. Here are some important points to keep in mind:\n- 360-Degree Rotation: A high-quality ball head should allow for a full 360-degree rotation. This means that you can easily switch from shooting in landscape to portrait orientation without having to adjust the tripod legs or the placement of the camera on the head.\n- Tension Control: The best ball heads also offer adjustable tension control. This allows you to customize the resistance of the ball movement to match the weight of your camera and lens. A ball head with too little tension will cause your camera to sag or droop, while too much tension will make it difficult to adjust the position of your camera smoothly.\n- Panoramic Rotation: Some ball heads also provide panoramic rotation, which allows you to smoothly pan your camera across a horizontal plane. This can be especially useful for capturing panoramic landscapes or for shooting video footage.\n- Angle Adjustment: Another important feature to consider is the ability to adjust the angle of the head. This can be useful when shooting on uneven terrain or when you need to capture a specific angle or perspective.\n- Quick Release: Finally, many ball heads come equipped with a quick-release plate or system. This allows you to quickly and easily attach and detach your camera from the tripod head, which can save you time and reduce the risk of dropping your equipment.\nThe head movement of your ball head tripod is a crucial factor in determining its usability and versatility for outdoor photography. By considering the features listed above, you can choose a ball head that meets your specific needs and allows you to capture stunning photos and videos in any setting.\nHow to Use a Ball Head Tripod for Outdoor Photography\nNow that you have chosen your ball head tripod, it’s time to learn how to use it for outdoor photography. The proper use of a tripod can significantly enhance the quality of your images by reducing camera shake and providing stability in challenging shooting conditions. In this section, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of setting up and adjusting the ball head, as well as securing your equipment for a worry-free shooting experience. Let’s dive in!\nSetting up the tripod\nSetting up the tripod: Before you can start taking photos, you need to properly set up your ball head tripod. Here’s a step-by-step guide for doing just that:\n|Choose a level surface to put your tripod on. This will ensure that your shots aren’t tilted or off-balance.\n|Pull out the legs of the tripod to your desired height. Make sure that all three legs are at the same height so the tripod doesn’t tilt.\n|Lock the legs in place at the desired height using the leg locks. This will provide a stable base for your camera.\n|Add the center column if needed. Some tripods have a center column that can be added to increase height.\n|Attach the camera to the ball head using the quick release plate. This plate slides into the head and locks into place, allowing you to quickly and easily attach and remove your camera.\n|Adjust the ball head to position your camera. The ball head allows you to move your camera in any direction, so position it to capture the shot you want.\n|Make sure the ball head is tight and won’t move or slip. This will ensure that your camera stays in position during your shoot.\n|Double-check everything before taking your shot. Make sure your camera is secure and the tripod is stable on a level surface.\nBy following these steps, you’ll be able to quickly and easily set up your ball head tripod, allowing you to focus on capturing beautiful outdoor photos.\nAdjusting the ball head\nOne of the most important features of a ball head tripod is its ability to adjust the ball head to achieve the desired composition for your shot. This task can be done by following the steps below:\n|Loosen the ball head by adjusting the locking mechanism, which will allow the camera to move freely.\n|Move the camera to the desired angle and orientation by adjusting the ball head, ensuring that the camera remains level.\n|Adjust the head movement to ensure that the camera remains stable, using the control knobs to lock the ball head in place.\nWhile adjusting the ball head: be careful to keep the camera level and avoid making any sudden moves that could cause the camera to fall off the tripod. It’s also important to ensure that the ball head is securely locked in place before releasing the camera to avoid accidents. Taking these precautions will help you get the best possible shot while keeping your gear safe.\nSafely securing your equipment\nWhen using a ball head tripod for outdoor photography, it’s important to ensure that your equipment is safely secured to the tripod. This not only protects your camera and lenses from damage, but also reduces the risk of accidents.\nBelow are some tips on how to safely secure your equipment to the ball head tripod:\n|Make sure the ball head is tightened securely before mounting your camera. Use the locking mechanism to ensure that the ball head doesn’t move unintentionally.\n|Attach your camera to the ball head using a quick release plate. This allows you to easily detach and reattach your camera as needed, while still keeping it secure on the tripod.\n|When attaching your lens to the camera, make sure the lens is properly aligned with the camera mount. This ensures that your shots are sharp and in focus.\n|Use a camera strap to add an extra layer of security. This can help prevent accidental drops or damage to your equipment.\n|If you’re shooting in windy conditions or on uneven terrain, consider using additional weights or anchors to keep your tripod stable. This will prevent your equipment from getting knocked over or damaged.\nFollowing these tips will help ensure that your equipment stays safe and secure while using a ball head tripod for outdoor photography. Remember to always double-check that everything is properly secured before starting your shoot.\nAfter considering the various features to look for when choosing a ball head tripod for outdoor photography, it’s clear that there are many factors to take into account. The load capacity, size and weight, material, ball size, locking mechanism, base, and head movement are all important considerations, and each photographer will have their own priorities based on their particular shooting needs.\nOverall, a ball head tripod is an excellent choice for outdoor photography due to its ability to provide stability and flexibility, making it easier to get the perfect shot. With its smooth movement and precise control, a ball head tripod can handle a wide range of shooting situations.\nWhen using a ball head tripod for outdoor photography, it’s important to take the time to set it up properly, adjusting the ball head for the perfect angle as well as securely attaching your equipment. This will help ensure that your equipment stays safe and secure while allowing you to take stunning photos with ease.\nWhether you’re a professional photographer or just starting out, a ball head tripod is an investment that can make a significant difference in the quality of your outdoor photography.

The kernel has been upgraded to version 3.18.6, and the image now includes (following Gordon's very helpful input) an enhanced set of userspace packages (full list here), precompiled for convenience. All included packages are up-to-date against the Gentoo tree, as of 10 Feb 2015 (and so, of course, shellshock, heartbleed and Ghost fixes have been applied).\nAs before, you can burn the supplied image to a USB key (>=8GB now, Lexar and SanDisk keys seem the most reliable), then boot your B3 from it, without affecting any installed (Excito) system on your B3's hard drive. (The compressed image is 349MiB; writing takes between 10 and 20 minutes, depending on your system.) You can even boot a diskless B3! No soldering, compilation or U-Boot flashing is required.\nThe live-USB may then be used as a rescue disk, to play with Gentoo Linux, or as the starting point to install Gentoo Linux on your B3's main hard drive. Any packages you install, or other changes you make, while running the live-USB are saved on the USB key, but do not affect your existing Excito system, so you can run Gentoo for a while, then reboot back into your Excito system and continue to use it as normal, then boot back into the USB at a later date - any changes you made will still be there when you do.\nFull instructions are provided on the project's GitHub page (including how to specify initial network settings, so you can ssh in once booted, and how to install Gentoo on your B3's internal hard drive too, in case you want to do that).\nSome other changes in this release:\n- The same image may now be used to boot both standard and diskless B3s (shifted to UUID-based naming).\n- Utilities for (re)building the kernel (buildkernel-b3: source, manpage), and keeping your system up to date easily (genup-lite: source, manpage), are provided.\n- You can now use the rear power button to turn off your B3, if you like (thanks to Gordon's ebuild for Tor's bubba-buttond, installed on the image).\n- The workaround for the Marvell tso issue has been implemented.\n- The supplied system is subscribed to my sakaki-tools-lite and gentoo-b3 overlays, and (Gordon's) bubba overlay.\n- The image now includes a 1GiB swap partition (and has more free space on its root); this means you can build even large packages (like boost for example) when running from the USB, should you wish to do so.\n- The front LED now shows purple during early boot, rather than turning off, via a slightly modified DTS (provided here). (As before, it turns solid green once Gentoo is running.)\nHave fun ^-^", "domain": "hobby"}

This way, you can win prizes and gain exposure to a whole new audience. Moreover, it allows you to engage in discussions with fellow NFT enthusiasts. It's a great way for you to share your collection. Online forums can be joined and meetups organized. These communities can be helpful for new collectors.\nSocial media is an important part of a good strategy for NFT collection promotion. Each NFT should be posted individually so that you can get maximum exposure. You also need to prepare your audience at the least two weeks before posting them. Medium, Instagram Discord, Medium and Twitter are all great platforms for NFT promotion. Make sure you clearly explain the concept of your NFT collection. You should also share your mistakes. An enthusiastic audience will share your enthusiasm and love your creations.\nEffective marketing is the best way to attract buyers. No matter if your collection is unique or niche, it is important to market your art to investors. You will be able to stand out from the many other NFT collections on the market by using effective marketing strategies. Promote your NFT collection through social media. This will allow you to attract people who are interested in buying your NFTs.\nIf you are an artist you may be able to reward your top supporters with rewards. Some rewards include NFT features, personalization rights or collection naming rights. Affiliate marketing is an easy and inexpensive way to promote your NFT collections online. This method is extremely effective and pays a percentage for every sale. Push notifications are an excellent way to increase conversions. They will pop-up on the browser of the client and allow the buyer to browse the website.\nAnother great way to promote your NFT collections is to hold AMA sessions together with NFT artists. A successful NFT venture will understand that their NFT avatars need to have personality. NFT users are largely degenerates who were outcasts in the crypto community. By having a character that is similar to them, NFT users will identify with them more easily. NFT users will be more inclined to share your artwork and purchase from you.\nYou can look for nft project promotion using pre-sale advertising, which has become more popular as NFTs become mainstream. Remember, what works today may not be applicable tomorrow. Always consider the NFT community and what works today. You can think outside the box when you promote NFT collections. Remember, it's never too late for the metaverse to be of benefit. It's possible to make your collection stand apart from the rest and make millions of dollars with it.\nYou can share your NFT collection by joining cryptographic art groups and forums. This will allow your work to be seen by a wider audience, and you'll get valuable feedback. Learning from other NFT enthusiasts will help you gain a wider audience. To create even more excitement, NFT enthusiasts can also share their creations.\nInfluencer marketing has become a popular trend in marketing. Influencers are highly visible and can be used to promote NFT creators' collections. You can gain trust by using influencers for your products to promote. Instagram, a major brand, will offer you thousands of followers. The promotion of your NFT collection can be made easier by using influencers. Beauty brands sponsor people who have thousands upon thousands of followers. Partnering with such influencers can help spread the word on your art collection.\nSharing your NFT collection with other artists is one of the best ways you can promote it. Artwork community is generally supportive. If you want your NFT project's visibility to grow, you can share your collection via social media. Reddit and Quora are great places for sharing your collection. There are many forums where you can share the link to your NFT collection. You can also talk about it on behalf of others.", "domain": "hobby"}

These are displayed with the original ciphered texts. The differences between Finch’s 1801 edition which he named “a Masonic Key” and his 1802 “Masonic Treatise” will be added later. These differences from the 1802 edition include that it includes a number of extracts from William Preston’s writing not in the 1802 edition, is more difficult to set in order because the sections and degrees are not labelled, uses the long medial s (ſ) and there are errors which are corrected in the 1802 edition. I have also deciphered four quarto pages that accompanied John Browne’s Tracing Boards. These will appear after 9 May 2019, the date that I will be presenting a paper to Lodge Quatuor Coronati.

So I stop watering tulips as soon as bulbs go dormant, also we receive virtually no rain after June until september, right when the weather starts to be fresher, and that helps a lot to keep bulbs in good conditions. But, I never plant tulips in full sun, they perform better in dappled shade in this country, they still get all the light and heat they need, full sun is too much for all the Dutch hybrids.\nDoes anyone growing tulips in zone 9 has a similar expirience?\nOther plants that stand out in the garden this time of year are: Scilla peruviana, the portuguese squill and Armeria, which is also a native. Scilla peruviana bulbs like to be divided every two years or so in order to bloom properly. They form big clumps with no blooms after few years.\nHardy geraniums are not very common in this country, but they start to be appreciated by some people. they are grown mostly as a shade plant and their beautiful flowers can bring interest for many months to a less visible area of the garden.

Basically geocaching is like a traditional treasure hunt, but instead of having a paper map with an X marking the spot, “cachers” use a handheld portable device, around the size of a mobile phone, called a Global Positioning System receiver (or GPS as its more commonly known) to locate their position on the earth’s surface.\nUsing a system of dedicated satellites, a GPS can accurately and rapidly give a user their coordinates. If a user knows the coordinates of a particular thing on the earth’s surface the GPS can guide the user to this item, showing the user’s distance and direction from the item. Geocaching uses this functionality to enable cachers to place some treasure (a cache) at a particular location and then share the coordinates with the rest of the geocaching community (through the official geocaching webpage ). Other cachers can then programme these coordinates into their GPS and go hunting! When they find the cache they can log their visit in the logbook and exchange an item in the cache for an item they have brought.\nSo where did it all start…..well where everything does, on the internet! On May 1st, 2000, the GPS signal degradation called “Select Availabilty” (SA) was removed by the Clinton Administration. Two days later, on May 3rd 2000 a guy called Dave Ulmer hid the first geocache in, Oregon, USA, and then posted about it on the sci.geo.satellite-nav newsgroup:\nFrom: Dave (firstname.lastname@example.org)\nSubject: GPS Stash Hunt… Stash #1 is there!\nWell, I did it, created the first stash hunt stash and here are the coordinates: N 45 17.460 W122 24.800 Lots of goodies for the finders.

After only six years in this house, I painted the bedroom that used to belong to The Boy Child, but now holds the computer and one metric ass ton of crap. It was a Chinese lacquer red. You know how you always read in home magazines that painting a small room (this one is about 10×10) a deep color can actually open the space up or some such nonsense? Let me set you straight: MAGAZINES LIE. Because it was semi-gloss, it was a little like trying to work inside a liver or possibly a spleen. It is now a blue-green that was supposed to be more green than blue, but is actually more blue than green. A fact which bothers me not at all because the room IS NOT RED.\nI know. You like a red room. Your dining room is red. It was a federal law from the years 1995 to 2007 that all dining rooms be painted red. I like a red room too. I like it in someone else’s home, not mine. A person should not have to pay bills and print out coupons inside a spleen. It’s too much of a reminder how much the phone bill is leaching from your person. I should have painted the office the color of a turnip now that I think about it. “You can’t get blood from a turnip,” is exactly what I say to the Bills as they gather. They don’t seem to care.\nRegardless, the room is now painted and the house is a full 20 degrees cooler and I have a new batch of paint splatters on my jeans which nicely compliment the deep, murky green ones from when I painted the bathroom vanity last summer. And this brings me to my point. I consider these my good jeans.\nIn 2007, about the time people were over their red dining rooms and started painting everything the color of a paper bag, I bought a pair of jeans at Target. I liked them despite the fact that the zipper was apparently sewn in by a blind, three-toed sloth with no need of a zipper that actually met at the top. The jeans were quickly repaired with a hair elastic threaded through the zipper pull and run a couple of times around the button. It is a system that has worked like a charm for five years now. I have gotten other jeans since then. Some I picked up for $10 at a Rose’s in my hometown. Some I spent a ridiculous amount of money for. None could match the comfort and butt-flattering abilities of my Black Label (Black Label always means it’s fancy) Mossimo jeans. They have patches in strategic places and I’ve sewn the pockets back on several times because I pull on back pockets of pants by sticking my thumbs in them. I don’t know why I do this, and didn’t realize I did until I took an afternoon to sew up pockets on every pair of pants I owned with back pockets.\nMy good jeans are held together with hair elastics and paint. I don’t have to take paint chips with me when looking for fabric for the house. All I need to do is wear my jeans. I know these would not qualify as good to anyone else, but no one else has to wear them. They have a sibling somewhere. I blew out the back of them, put them somewhere I would remember to go back to them to fix them, and have lost them. That’s okay. They wouldn’t remind me what color I painted the guest room.", "domain": "hobby"}

The 2021 Open starts next week, on Thursday 3/11! This year’s Open will be different than years past; only 3 weeks instead of 5, even more scaling options than ever, and obviously COVID is still a factor, unfortunately.\nHere’s our plan with regard to COVID: We’re still running a class size limit, but those limits will be expanded for the Open workout sessions. Because of the possibility of more people being in the space and due to COVID still being a thing, we’ll have a few extra precautions in place, and we ask you to bring and wear your mask whenever you’re not warming up or working out. In addition, all our usual precautions will remain in place (stay home if you’re not feeling 100%, social distance whenever possible, sanitize equipment before and after use, etc.).\nWith that out of the way, here’s the layout for the three weeks of the Open (3/11 to 3/29):\nOn Thursday night at 8:00p, the Open workout will be announced via live stream on http://games.crossfit.com. Tune in and find out what workout we’ll be doing that weekend, and if you miss it, we’ll post it to SugarWOD shortly after.\nThe following Friday at 5:30p, we’ll have our Friday Night Lights event. This will be your first chance to get that week’s workout done, and we’ll run as many heats as we need to get everyone through it that wants to, including folks that aren’t registered for the Open but still want a great workout.\nThe rest of the weekend will run as follows during the Open:\nSaturday 8:30a & 9:45a – Our Saturday group Open WOD sessions, with standards given at the start, and organized heats running until everyone has gotten it done. Everyone is welcome, including folks that aren’t registered for the Open.\nSunday 10a – Regular non-Open WOD. Coach on duty will be leading class and will not be available to judge. No Open workouts on the side.\nSunday 4p-6p – Open Gym will be available for folks that still need to get the Open WOD done. No heats, informal.\nFriday (morning, noon and 4:15p classes) and Monday (all classes) – Regular non-Open WOD. Coach on duty will be leading class and will not be available to judge.

If you want to get ahead this year and leave the last minute shopping trips to everyone else, then you might like some of these ideas. When you are looking for original ideas for stocking fillers, you can spend hours looking for that perfect gift and that is just the toe of the stocking filled!\nHave a look at these gift ideas for inspiration:\nCashmere socks – Everybody seems to get socks at Christmas and they always come in handy but let’s face it, they are not very exciting to open. Why not try something a bit different this year and treat them to cashmere socks?\nSmartwatch – If your stocking filler budget is flexible, a smartwatch could be a great gift idea. If they are into their sports then getting one that syncs up with their sporting activities will no doubt go down well. Gadget lovers will be easily pleased with the addition of a smartwatch this Christmas.\nDesigner cufflinks – You can never have enough cufflinks and designer cufflinks add a nice little bit of sophistication for that important business meeting or that special event. Designer cufflinks are the perfect accessories for smart dressing men.\nThomas Sabo Bracelet – This Christmas, Thomas Sabo have even more great bracelets on offer for the jewellery lovers out there. You can get bracelets ranging from £35 up to a few hundred pounds, so there is a lot of flexibility to match your budget.\nDesigner underwear – Sick of him wearing those old underpants that he has had for years? Treat him to some nice designer underpants, if you know he will never buy them for himself. Then make sure that you throw the old ones away so they do not get another outing! Sometimes they just need a point in the right direction when it comes to fashion!\nSports accessories – If they like a particular sport then stocking fillers should be easy. For the runner, you can get loads of accessories from sports shops like flashing bands that will keep them safe whilst out in the dark. Or for the football fan, buy the club’s mug, scarf or key ring. Cyclists might need gloves, snoods or glasses to help them out on the road.\nChocolates – Unless they are allergic to chocolate, that is the one ‘must have’ in your stocking. Instead of the same old boring chocolate they have received for years, why not push the boat out and treat them to Hotel Chocolat or similar luxury ranges of chocolate?\nAlcohol – If they like a particular brand of drink that isn’t easy to get hold of then treat them by ordering it for their stocking. Maybe add a nice set of glasses to enjoy it with to fill that stocking up but make sure the glasses are well padded before you wrap them!\nBath bombs – Lush and other retailers have a great selection of relaxing or fun bath bombs to fill your stocking with. There are so many variations to choose from that the hard part is choosing which type to buy. Also, they are just the perfect size for a stocking filler and they don’t cost too much either.\nPerfume/Aftershave – Their favourite fragrance is an ideal stocking filler and is a really easy one to buy. Keep an eye out for different deals in the lead up to Christmas and you could get yourself a real bargain as well.", "domain": "hobby"}

Woo Hoo!! I placed second in the Women’s Bodybuilding Masters 50 & Over division, but placed first in the Women’s Bodybuilding Open Heavyweight, then won the Women’s Bodybuilding Open Overall Champion. And, I certainly didn’t expect this, but I received my Pro Card! I am now considered a professional bodybuilder!! Whew! I am very thrilled to have done so well, but I am still in shock!!\nAs I have stated all along, this was about the journey for me. It just goes to show that with a lot of hard work and discipline, you can reach not only your goals but beyond your goals as well! My goal was to train and prepare to the best of my ability and to give it my best once I got on that stage Saturday night. That’s all I could ask of myself! And, that’s what I did, and it paid off tremendously for me!! And, I can’t tell you how excited and pleased I feel having achieved more than what I set out to achieve!! It’s very rewarding!!\nI want to thank all of you for your support and encouragement throughout my training process. I can’t tell you how all of your positive feedback on my blog posts really kept me motivated to stay on track and to strive for my best! I would like to also thank my wonderful husband, Tim, and my boys for all of their unwavering support and for having to put up with me during all of this, especially on low carb days!! I couldn’t have succeeded without their love and support. I love you guys!! I would like to thank my awesome trainer, Anthony Tiller, for his love, support, encouragement, and expertise throughout my journey. He is the master behind the madness and the man with the plan!! Thank You Anthony!! And I can’t thank enough my friend and fellow bodybuilder, Tina Bell, for all of her help—-she choreographed my posing routine, provided tremendous amounts of positive support and encouragement, and was always there whenever I needed her! Thanks Tina! I would like to also thank my sweet friend, Lauren Wood, for always being there for me in and out of the gym and always with her beautiful smile!! Your support didn’t go unnoticed!! Thanks Lauren! And last but not least, I want to thank all of my wonderful friends who are part of the fabulous Underdog Family!! You guys also kept me on track with your support and encouragement and willingness to let me have free riegn of the gym whenever I was in there to workout!! Y’all are the BEST!! I love my Underdog family—-you folks ROCK!!\nI have enjoyed these last several days of eating and drinking anything I want—-it’s been fun!! My family and I are headed to Spain for our family vacation for the next 10 days, and I can’t tell you how great I feel physically, mentally, and emotionally, and how excited I am to experience the culture of another country and not have a care in the world about what I eat or drink!! BRING IT ON!!! So, when I return, I plan to get back into a regular workout routine of lifting 3 days a week and watching my macros to some degree. My trainer says he is going to reverse me out when I get back from vacation, and it will make it very easy for me to maintain what I have worked so hard to achieve. Although, I hope to put just a little weight back on. I just don’t want to go overboard with all of the bad eating and gain more than I would like.\nThanks again for following along with me during my journey!!", "domain": "hobby"}

We do teach from Rock School graded materials, but primarily focus on learning the songs children want to sing and play from the radio or TV. Those children who are also in a band, immediately apply what they have learned in lessons at their weekly band practice.\nWe run a range of concerts inside and outside school and are asked to provide children’s bands for concerts organised by external bodies. When bands reach year 6, they also do a studio recording. These performance opportunities give children goals to work towards and some very special memories and achievements. Bands usually receive 2-3 concerts per term for Autumn and Spring terms and can choose from around 20 concerts in the Summer term including some larger festivals and venues.\nHosted by Mr Peter Richmond 01904 488581\nPupils are taught to read music and play tunes, rather than just strumming guitar.

Our technician, Joel, made a real effort to ensure all our skiing needs were met, and or boots fit comfortably.\nReally lovely personal touch where they checked in on how we were getting on with the equipment during the week.\nWe especially liked the premium boots offer.\nOutstanding rental experience in Tignes! We rented a snowboard and a set of skis for a week and were thoroughly impressed by the service and the quality of the equipment provided.\nInstead of the usual low-end gear found at many rental locations, this shop offered genuinely top-notch items.\nThe Ski Atomic Bent 90s I used were in excellent condition.\nIzzi was incredibly knowledgeable and provided fantastic assistance, making our experience even better!\nWe go skiing twice a year as a group and have never had service anywhere near as good as this!\nWe arrived later than planned and they were flexible with us, tweaking our planned drop off to collecting us and taking us to the store to get our skis fitted and then dropping us back at our appartment.\nWe had last minute add-ons that were no problem and one member of our group wasn’t getting on with their boots so the shop came and collected them, took them to store, pulled out every pair of boots until our group member was happy and then bought them back to our apartment.\nAt the end of the week they came out again and collected the skis from us just as we were waiting for our transfer so super easy!\nNext time we are in Tignes we will 100% be using them. Thanks guys!\nWe were introduced to Tignes Spirit through our son who is working in Tignes this season and they were excellent, beating local competition in all respects.\nCommunication was much easier in English, they were extremely efficient, friendly and polite.\nThe equipment was great quality (we had brand new Nidecker snowboard bindings) and pricing couldn’t be beaten.\nWe’re going back in March and without a doubt will be using them again.\nWell done and thank you !!\nI highly recommend TS for rental and kit. They go out of their way to set you up with the most appropriate kit.\nThey stay open late to ensure you can get set up the night before your first day on the snow.\nI've never had to wait more than five minutes unlike the large chains which have long queues on busy days.\nAlthough we stayed in le lac this year we wanted down to rent for my son from TS. Worth a short walk/ bus\nWe were keen to purchase some skis but wanted to try some first.\nStaff were super friendly and very helpful and let us try out some skis before we purchased.\nGreat experience would thoroughly recommend.\nThis is the 2nd year I've rented from Tignes Spirit. They really know their stuff and ensure you get the perfect fit for your level.\nService is friendly and very professional.\nTheir aftercare is great and they even phone you the next day to check all is OK with the gear they've rented you.\nAlthough our accommodation was a bus ride away in Val Claret this year, it was worth the short (free bus) journey as their gear is high quality at a very competitive price.\nBoots and skis were perfect for me, and last year they even carried out an instant no quibble repair in their onsite workshop when I had a bent brake after a fall!\nThey also have a very nice shop attached which sells lovely ski wear.\nEnglish speakers too which helped us immensely.\nI wouldn't rent from anywhere else.\nFantastic service, friendly staff. The equipment was pretty much brand new.\nThe staff are very knowledgeable. Well stocked shop with all the latest kit!!\nWell done tignes spirit!!\nI had the best hiring experience with Tignes Spirit Rentals. Ben was phenomenal when I was trying to book some gear online, he was quick to respond and make any amendments I needed.\nQuite often with snowboard hiring, you never know what you'd get, but with Tignes, it was exceptionally great gear - both board and bindings. I told them my skill level, type of board I liked and that I was doing back country. As I was going to be in Sainte Foy, not only did they deliver - they made sure it was the right type of board and I got to choose a board I like.\nExperience didn't end there, they checked in and made sure everything went well.

Now your wish is about to come true in Uttarakhand. Yes, to promote water sports, the Uttarakhand Tourism Development Board is introducing jet skis in Tehri Lake.\nThe process has been initiated. Initially, four jet skis will be introduced by the board. This will provide tourists with the pleasure of water sports in the lake, similar to Goa. The board will start operating them by the end of September. Trained youth will operate the jet skis. The ticket prices will be determined by the tourism department. This is the first time in the state that jet skis will be introduced, giving wings to tourism. Local people will also be able to enjoy it along with tourists coming from outside. A contract will be signed with a private company for the operation. The company will also provide training to five to ten young people for operating the jet skis.\nJet skis work like watercrafts\nIf you want to fly in the air, then hydro-powered jet skis are for you. It not only skims on water like skiing but also flies in the air like a jet. It works just like a watercraft, and with its help, you can fly up to a height of 7.6 meters. You can also go up to 10 feet underwater with it. The price of jet skis starts from six lakh rupees. Through the jet thrust adapter, it redirects water from the jet unit of the PWC (Personal Watercraft) and directs it onto the jet ski bike with a 66-foot hose. The pressure of this water is used to propel the jet ski into the air and lift it upwards. This allows the rider to ascend rapidly.", "domain": "hobby"}

Don’t let the quarantine stop you from finding love or having an intimate time and romantic date with your partner. Although virtual dating is not as beautiful as meeting physically, it has its perks that you may want to try as we continue to cope with the hardships brought by the pandemic.\nThe term “virtual dating” can be seen as a plot for a sci-fi film, but there are many ways to make it special, normal, and enjoyable. Here are 10 fun virtual date ideas to try during COVID-19 that can hopefully make up for the lack of hugs and kisses with him or her:\nThis activity is a fun way to get to know the person you’re dating and prepare you once you eventually meet. Come up with questions that you are curious about your date, and he or she will also do the same. It’ll be great if both of you have an equal amount of items so that the conversation remains balanced.\nAs a tip, create questions that are reflective of your personality. You may ask common questions, like, “What’s your job?, or “What’s your childhood like?” Or add a little spice to it, such as their thoughts about your favorite films, hobbies, or ideal future partner.\nHowever, since it’s the first date, do have certain constraints on the questions you’re going to use.\nThis is an excellent way to measure compatibility and initiate intriguing chats with each other. Both of you will make a top-five list of various topics that may range from films, television shows, or people you would want to be with on a deserted island.\nIf you disagree with a certain rank, you can start asking questions that can poke fun conversations with each other. Don’t be too defensive, though!\nThis activity can reveal the things deemed valuable in your life or some funny story to share with your date. Both of you would pick things related to the decided theme for a “show and tell” session.\nThe themes could be showing your pets, artwork, hobbies, favorite clothes, or college sweatshirts. Use your webcam or smartphone to show the chosen items and explain or tell a story about it.\nThis activity can show your culinary skills or your lack of it. Either way, the most important thing is to try. Both of you would agree on a recipe to do together in your separate kitchens.\nIf both of you are relatively new to cooking, it’s better to pick an achievable recipe. Afterward, set your table to a dinner-date like with candles and a bottle of wine. You can talk about the cook-off or anything that both of you would like.\nDo you know that you can visit world-class museums online while in your pajamas and at your home’s safety?\nIf both of you want to turn your culture on by witnessing the world’s finest curated collections, you can check out the Louvre’s Gallerie de’ Apollon, the Smithsonian’s Natural History, or the National Women’s History Museum at NASA online.\nWith the recent online services like Netflix Party or Meta stream, you and your partner can both share a screen while in different locations.\nSince watching movies in the cinema is a no-go, you both can have your movie date through online streaming platforms. Choose a theme for the movie date. It can be about films focusing on hope, movies that changed your life, or movies involving your favorite actors.\nA good old-fashion game night usually does the trick when both of you want to have fun and bond with each other. More so, you can easily reveal your partner’s secret competitiveness through game nights. Since both of you have to do this virtually, look for apps or video games available online.\nThe advantage of playing games is that you don’t have to rack your brains out for conversational topics. It generates a shared focus and enjoyment at the same time.\nEnjoy your time together by sweating through online workouts. More so, exercising is more important than ever as it keeps both of you healthy amidst the ongoing pandemic.\nIt’s nice to share your struggles while keeping up with the strenuous workouts. Finish off the exercise date by eating a healthy lunch virtually and giving off some admiration for a job well done.\nHow sweet it is to listen to your partner’s voice while reading romantic poems or novels. Reading aloud to each other is a heart-sweeping virtual date because it can inspire thoughtful conversations and spark romantic memories together.\nFind something that both of you will fancy and have never done before. Then sign up for a course, webinar, or a virtual class together. This activity is a great way for couples to bond. It will also help you learn more about the world, and your partner’s passions.\nIt could be anything from learning how to draw, paint, cocktail making, or learning a language. It’ll also give you something to practice and do together after the self-isolation days are over.\nEven though the world’s current state is dimmed right now, your love life doesn’t have to be the same. More so, as we continue to live through the changes, we would need support from our loved ones more than ever. And constant communication and interaction with them can help with the overwhelming emotions most of us are probably feeling these days.\nSo, do continue the love even in the times of social distancing. Once everything goes back to normal, be ready to give and receive a big kiss and hug from your partner.\nLooking to shed some weight during the lockdown?

Normally, by November, capitals are covered in snow and ready to go. That means you should not squander an additional second thinking about skiing when rather you might directly down to your favorite hill as well as start hitting the slopes.\nIf you are mosting likely to make the trip around though, you wish to make certain that it's going to be a truly fun time. That is very easy enough to do when you adhere to these four basic suggestions for ensuring that you have a remarkable ski weekend.\nSelect the Right Ski Hillside\nThis is by far the most important part regarding your ski trip planning. You can do every little thing else on this list completely, however if you did not choose a great ski hillside, then it isn't going to matter. But choosing the excellent ski hillside is a lot easier stated than done.\nAmong the important things that you require to quit and also take into consideration is just how well you recognize the ski hillside. It's not always a poor thing to wish to go out as well as explore a hill that you have actually never ever been to in the past, you simply have to see to it that it is the ideal time to do it.\nIf it has been a couple years given that you last went skiing and also you are taking your 6-year-old kid to learn to ski for the first time ever before, after that maybe it isn't such an excellent suggestion to check out a hill that you have actually never ever been to before. However, if it is simply you and your significant other vanishing on a charming ski weekend, then you can do not hesitate to go try that hillside that has constantly gotten on your container listing.\nAnother point that you require to consider is just how expensive lift tickets are at the ski hillside. Whereas several ski hillsides that are close to each various other tend to offer similar prices in order to not shed clients, ski hills that are in an additional state might have them substantially cheaper. Specific ski hillsides likewise supply various discount rates to people that acquire their lift tickets in groups of four or more or for truly young children, which can both be super practical for households taking place ski weekends with each other.\nBook the Best Lodgings\nMuch like with selecting the best ski hill, choosing the ideal location to stay likewise comes with multiple requirements that you need to take into consideration. Among which is its proximity to the ski hill that you have actually chosen to head to. Almost every ski hillside will typically have a wide variety of areas to remain at close by, so locating a suitable place that is close should not be as well tough.\nIf you are more info planning on carving up some powder in Colorado, after that you ought to seek an inn around Breckenridge that is no even more than a hr's drive away from capital. The last thing that you want to do is go somewhere for the weekend break and also invest just as much time taking a trip to as well as from the ski hillside as you do actually winter sports on it.\nYou likewise intend to make certain that you are checking out the price because similar to with the ski hillside, the cost of your lodging can make the distinction in between you going there or not. By examining different web sites, you could be able to find some really bargains that you might not otherwise be aware of.\nIt likewise may benefit you to check out a few of the hotel websites directly. When they are located close to a ski hill, often they will use various discounts and services to those people that are intending on going snowboarding while they remain at their resort in Breckenridge, CO\n. Make a decision Exactly How You Want to Travel\nThis will absolutely be affected by the place of the ski hillside that you selected to visit. If you are intending to go winter sports somewhere that is only one city over, after that your traveling approaches are practically restricted to driving. Nevertheless, if you are headed one state over or perhaps better to some really fantastic hills, then you will certainly have the option to either fly or drive.\nTraveling might end up costing a little bit more than driving to your destination would, yet it can also imply that you obtain numerous extra hours to invest in the ski hillside instead of sitting in a lorry. It can frequently be a little bit of a discomfort to attempt and fly with your ski devices, so if you own your equipment and also plan on bringing it with you, then you need to also consider this factor when making your choice.\nIf you do wind up driving, after that make sure that your vehicle is probably prepared to handle the winter driving. This suggests inspecting the step on your tires, possibly bringing it in for an oil change, and also having an emergency set in your vehicle, or at least, having a blanket as well as flashlight.\nExamine the Weather condition\nWhenever you are taking a trip anywhere for any factor, it is constantly a good concept to inspect the weather beforehand. No matter what the weather claims, it likely will not quit you from taking place your trip, especially if you booked the resort and also acquired the lift tickets already. But what it could do is inform you regarding what to expect when you are out on the ski hill.\nIf you see that it is expected to be exceptionally cold for the duration of your trip, then you might want to take into consideration packing a few added layers to use to make sure that you do not need to cut your ski day short since you are no more able to feel your hands.\nLearn more about this frisco co hotel today.", "domain": "hobby"}

The mixture would be too wet to handle too much or roll into a ball, but you could scrap little mounds from a spoon.\nThese look lovely if served dusted with a little icing sugar.", "domain": "hobby"}

LVRD is getting back on the track after a two-year hiatus. If you've been thinking about playing roller derby, now is the perfect time to join our new recruit program since veterans and new recruits alike will be working on the very basics of roller derby skills. Not interested in skating? We would love to train you to be a non-skating official with our league. Every role is important in getting roller derby back on the track in 2022!\nOur February meet and greet will be a fun, regular open skate - not a try-out. Rentals are available if you don't have your own gear. Hang out, chat, and skate with members of our league. Ask all your burning questions, bring up your concerns!\nFollowing our February Meet & Greet, boot camp to become a skating member of our league will begin on Monday, March 7th and continue every Monday and Thursday from 8:00-10:00 pm. You'll be joining our league at a time when we're all working on the basics. Our only requirement is that you have a very basic level of skating. We will teach you the skills you need to increase your confidence on skates and then move into more advanced skills. We're seriously all starting from that same baseline after two years!\nParticipation in boot camp is $25 which covers the cost of training, skate rental, and loaner gear. The only gear you need to bring is a mouth guard, face covering, and water bottle!\nBecome a Skater\nLearn what it takes to become a member of our team. See demonstrations of the skills that will be needed for our upcoming try outs. Email us to learn about our next Open Recruit Night.\nTransfers welcome at any time!\nJoin the Refs and Other Volunteers\nLehigh Valley Roller Derby could not do what they do without the help of a very talented and dedicated group of people. Refs, announcers, mascots, statisticians, artists, web programmers, score board operators, DJ’s, game set-up and clean-up, they help with it all. And most times with nothing more than love as payment. Without them, the game could not go on.\nHang out with us\nWant to know where you can catch the lovely ladies of LVRD out and about?\nStay updated on news and events by joining our mailing list!\nWe promise not to share your email address.

Check back frequently for new issues with more valuable information about coffee and coffee roasting.|\nRoastmaster's Talk Issue 1.1\nWelcome to the first issue of Roastmaster’s Talk. Over the past fifteen years, I’ve had countless “Roastmaster talks” with customers while a batch of beans has tumbled around in the coffee roaster. I will use this forum to discuss common questions about coffee and tea, highlight new offerings, seasonal drink ideas, and post responses to emails.\nMy passion for coffee began while working in my parent’s coffee shop as a teenager. I was intrigued by the exotic origins of the coffee beans I was packaging for our customers. We were “just” retailers of beans supplied by a variety of regional coffee roasters. Visits to our suppliers’ roasting plants and sessions at their cupping tables gave me a greater understanding of what it takes to unlock the full potential of a coffee bean. My college years provided me an opportunity to research and write papers on the history, cultivation, and production of coffee. The desire to have the greatest control over our products’ quality led to the opening of our coffee roasting operation in 1991.\nTo be successful as a specialty coffee roaster, I feel one must be dedicated to these principles:\nSource great raw arabica green beans from around the world.\nIt is my hope to address all of these topics, and more, as I share my thoughts in this forum.

Few people know the truth of this expression more than serious model railway enthusiasts. For a non-enthusiast, it is easy to look in on the kits and simply see a scale model railway. But the enthusiast knows that the details can really make or break the whole success of the scale railway setup. For many enthusiasts, the couplings are the hardest thing to get right.\nThe problem is that many couplings do not accurately replicate the way that coaches and engines hook together. In many instances, they are over simplified and detract from the look of the overall railway. Worse still, they may not line up. Many manufacturers do not follow a standard approach, meaning that if you have collected coaches or engines from different suppliers, the couplings may not match. In other instances, the couplings may simply be impractical. For example, with some couplings, the gap between the coaches is enormous. For some kits, if you were to calculate the gap between the carriages in terms of the scale of the kit, the couplings would be positioning the coaches as much as 1.5metres apart! In real life this would simply not happen. For one thing, it would make moving between coaches impossible!\nOne way around this is by replacing the couplings with something that looks good but also maintains the realism in your setup. After all, when you have gone to the effort of getting the right coaches and engines, and you have created your scenery around your track, why let the couplings be the detail that spoils the entire look of your system?\nAt CRT Kits we can supply couplings for your kits. We have three options. The simplest is the three link chain couplings. This was a peculiarly British method of connecting freight trains on older lines. The three link chain couplings extended the gap between the carriages. This made it easier for trains to get moving as they could essentially move one carriage at a time as the chains pulled taut, rather than moving all the carriages at once. However, the sacrifice was that the journey was incredibly bumpy and not suitable for passenger travel. As an alternative, the screw-link couplings and instanter couplings offered a compromise. This had a middle link which could be adjusted to shorted the slack in the train and reduce the bumpiness of the ride. Our couplings are available in all three types, with machined brass parts and steel chain links. They are ideal for creating authentic couplings which not only look good, but also connect your coaches effectively.\nFor all enquiries about our parts and accessories, including couplings, and our kit building services, contact us using the details on the website.

The Artful Body approach is to empower you to be your own most-effective health and wellness resource. By training you to train yourself, Artful Body workouts support your profound and innate ability to strengthen and heal yourself. In addition to being a challenging workout for the mind and body, every session is fun! Playful metaphors and creative imagery keep levity amidst the concentrated focus while musical dynamics are incorporated to keep workouts flowing.\nRelying on Joseph Pilates' philosophy of biomechanics as the foundation, Artful Body is a classical Pilates studio (Mr. Pilates called it \"Contrology: the Art of Control\" while today the work is simply called \"Pilates\"). Pilates is well-known to produce long, lean muscles and promote strength, flexibility, and proper postural alignment. Every session is not only classical in content but also in context; we teach classical Pilates, classically, for the benefit of the body andmind. Because of the classical emphasis on aligning mind and body, workouts leave you feeling invigorated and not depleted.\nArtful Body is housed in one wing of a three-wing, historic barn that was built in 1907; the space lending an air of creativity married with functionality. Originally built to bathe the horses that lived on site, the studio wing was shortly thereafter converted into a maintenance house for an early era automobile and then, later, turned into an art gallery for a photographer's agent in NYC. Artefacts of each of these eras peak out from the corners and walls and invite you to see yourself in your fullest potential- as a work in playful progress. The broad windows and original sliding barn door flood the space with natural light and views to nature, giving you a peaceful environment to connect mindfully with your body.\nCreative. Smart.

The others are Yang and Chen. Each of these 3 styles is named from the family that has practiced, taught, and passed it on to later generations. Traditionally, the study and practice of the art has been “family property”. Family members devote their lives to teaching and practicing the art. They are also considered to be the ultimate authority on their style. “Tai Chi” is a contraction of the more traditional term “Tai Chi Chuan”. Chuan is a general term that can be translated as “martial discipline”, or “boxing”.\nThe slow motions one usually identifies as Tai Chi Chuan are known as “The Form” or “The Chuan”. This is a series of movements that may last from 10 minutes to 1/2 hour. The Form is very important and is the basis for training in Tai Chi Chuan. The form has aspects of health, martial arts and meditation. However it is still only a part of the complete training in the art. The martial aspect of The Form is not readily apparent to the uninitiated. A simple answer could be “You must be able to do it slow before you can expect to do it fast”, but there is much more to it than that. Besides the obvious martial benefits of balance, co-ordination, and looseness The Form also cultivates qualities like a relaxed focused mind and healthy resilient body. It trains the core motion and reactions of the practitioner, increasing the person’s martial potential. The Form also contains, in its movements, a myriad of martial applications and the elements of power generation. These are hidden from an untrained observer in much the same way that fine poetry will not be revealed to someone who has not learned the language yet. The Form is the basis of Tai Chi Chuan but “Push Hands” is considered the “gateway into martial arts”. There are also other martial exercises beyond Push Hands. The confusion about Tai chi Chuan being a martial art has probably arisen in part because many Tai Chi Chuan schools only practice The Form and exercises focused on health and meditation. This may be because the founder of the school has not learned the martial practices or that the students do not have the desire or have progressed far enough to learn them.\nTwo reasons. First, respect to the teacher and the art becomes, since the art is passed on and taught by family members, respect for the generations that have worked and refined, and passed the art on so that you can learn it. Second, that the lineage and teachers of a person is the best measure, short of actually working with them, of their proficiency in the art. This is because the art can not be learned from a book, it requires hands-on training. Books (e.g. the Tai Chi Chuan classics) can be used to help solidify and promote understanding (“sign-posts on the road”) but no more than that. Family members traditionally accord the greatest respect and are the ultimate authority on the art. This authority may seem arbitrary to western thinking but it is based on practical facts. Family members learned and practiced Tai Chi Chuan with the greatest masters alive – the older generations. They would start as young as 3 and practice full-time. Furthermore, advanced training and concepts where only available to family members or those very close to it (“disciples”). It is hard for an outside practitioner to achieve that kind of focus or to have that quality and diversity of teachers.", "domain": "hobby"}

(Don’t we wish we could just show up!) If you’re new to camping and not sure where to start, this quick camping guide walks you through everything you need to do to have a relaxing, restorative outdoor break.\nBook your campsite close to home\nWhen it comes to choosing the perfect campsite, let’s start with a tip that’ll have you thanking yourself later: camp close to home. This way, you can easily get back if you forget something crucial or the weather takes a turn for the worse. Plus, exploring the hidden gems near your backyard might surprise you! Camping near home lets you create memories without too much fuss. Check out National Parks or KOA campgrounds near you.\nWherever you go, make sure you book your campsite in advance. They can go fast!\nGet your gear\nIf you’ve never been camping before (or not since you went with your family as a kid), then you’re going to have to buy or rent some supplies.\nHere’s a checklist of the basic camping gear we recommend for any beginner camper (or for a pro camper looking to refresh some worn-out pieces). If you’re an ID.me member, just click the links to get ID.me discounts or cash back!\nIf you’re going to be hiking, your backpack will be your most important piece of equipment. Choose something light, breathable, and durable that can carry plenty of water and supplies.\nIf you’re not sure you’ll love camping, then you may be able to rent a tent for this first trip. But if you’re committed, then investing in a good tent is essential. Choose something with plenty of space. If you’ll be camping during cooler months, make sure your tent is appropriate for the temperature.\n- Dagger OSMO Tent: 2-Person 3-Season | Backcountry\nSleeping bags and pads\nWhat’s the quickest way to ruin a camping trip? Get no sleep. If you want to have fun, make sure you have a warm, dry, cozy sleeping arrangement. That means a sleeping bag appropriate for the temperature where you’re camping, a well-insulated sleeping pad that protects you from the cold ground, a camping pillow, and anything else you need to wake up well-rested and ready to explore.\n- Stoic Groundwork Single Sleeping Bag | Backcountry\n- Stoic Double Cloud Camp Bed | Backcountry\n- ALPS Mountaineering Camp Pillow | Backcountry\nIf you’re backpacking, you can’t take a cooler, unfortunately. Stock up on dry food like trail mix, oatmeal, and dehydrated veggies! But if you’re camping near your car or RV, then you can bring along some fresh fruit and milk. Get a nice big cooler (bigger than the one you use for a quick picnic) so you can store all the food you need and plenty of ice.\nNice big water bottles are essential for camping. If you’ll be doing lots of hiking, consider getting a water bladder that you can drink from hands-free.\nShop travel mugs\nYou’ll get sick of GORP pretty fast, so make sure to get a camping stove to make some filling dinners (you’ll be hungry!) and hot coffee. Don’t count on making everything over a fire, because lots of campsites ban fires during the hot months. (Always check before lighting one!)\nPots, pans, spatulas, forks, knives, spoons… You’ll need all of it. Choose lightweight cookware and utensils that won’t take up too much space. Kits that nest together are a great option.\nChairs are optional, but they can make your camping trip much more comfortable. If you’re backpacking and can’t carry a chair, consider a mat that will insulate you from the ground when you sit.\n- Trailhead Camp Chair | YETI\nIt’s smart to bring flashlights, but don’t stop there. Headlamps are great to free up your hands, and lanterns make it much more pleasant to sit outside as it gets dark. Don’t forget to bring extra batteries or a portable charger.\nHiking Shoes or Boots\nIf you’ll be doing lots of hiking, sturdy and comfortable boots are a must. Sore feet and blisters will ruin your trip just as quickly as a bad night’s sleep. If you buy new boots, make sure to wear them a bit first in case they need some breaking in.\n- Men’s Newton Ridge™ Plus II Waterproof Hiking Boot | Columbia Sportswear\n- Women’s Newton Ridge™ Plus Waterproof Hiking Boot | Columbia Sportswear\nClothes for rain and cold\nCome prepared for any weather you might encounter. Even if it’s pretty warm in your area, it will be colder after dark. Bring warm layers and reliable rain gear.\n- Crew Neck Sunshirt | YETI\n- Men’s PFG Zero Rules™ Ice Hoodie | Columbia Sportswear\n- Women’s Arcadia™ II Rain Jacket | Columbia Sportswear\nSunscreen and bug repellant\nWhen you’re packing your usual toiletries, make sure to bring these along too!\nPlan your trip\nSome of us are natural-born adventurers who love to go with the flow – and that works! Embracing spontaneity can lead to unexpected surprises, and there’s nothing wrong with planning to spend your camping trip just kicking back by the lake.\nHowever, a little bit of preparation can go a long way in ensuring you have a fantastic time. Consider looking up some hiking trails in the area ahead of time or researching outdoor sports you might want to try. Who knows, you might find a breathtaking summit or discover your inner rock-climbing superhero! Don’t forget to pack some games and books for rainy days. They can transform a dreary afternoon into a cozy, laughter-filled gathering.\nCamping Tips from Reddit\nExperienced campers have offered awesome tips on multiple Reddit threads to help you make the most of your newbie camping experience. We’ve curated some of the best for you!\n- Consider purchasing wood closer to your camping location to prevent the spread of pests and insects. Transporting wood can also be illegal in some places.\n- Some effective fire starters include cotton balls wiped in petroleum jelly or dryer lint. Remember to start with small kindling and gradually increase the size of the fuel, ensuring the fire gets plenty of oxygen.\n- Invest in a good tarp and learn how to pitch it for protection from the elements. Insulate the ground underneath your sleeping bag. Sleeping pads are not just for comfort but also for thermal insulation.\n- Bring essentials like towels (preferably microfiber), duct tape, a tarp or two, soap, and hand sanitizer. These can prove extremely useful.\n- Be prepared for water-related situations, whether during hiking, at night, or while you’re sleeping. Cold nights and unexpected rain can pose challenges.\n- Avoid bringing food or smelly items into the tent to prevent attracting wildlife like raccoons or bears. Lock your cooler in the car to keep it safe from animals.\n- Consider a minimalist style of camping, even if you’re car camping, to avoid carrying too much unnecessary equipment.\n- Look at State and National Parks for your camping excursion. They’re usually affordable and tended by park rangers who may be able to help if you run into trouble. (Just be warned that these sites can book many months in advance.)\n- Learn camping tips from the experts – REI! Videos like How to Build a Fire will help you navigate your first camping experience like a pro.\nEnjoy Your Summer Camping!\nPack up your gear, get out there, and enjoy yourself! Organizing a camping trip can be stressful, especially if you’re a beginner or you’re bringing along kids or pets. But remember that the point of all this prep and planning is to have a wonderful time out in nature (which is proven to reduce stress!) If you’ve followed this guide, you have everything you need and a beautiful campsite booked close to home. Drink in that fresh air and have a wonderful time!", "domain": "hobby"}

My readings find their roots in solidifying the relationship between you, the cards, and spirit. I act as a communication channel to notice and express energies manifesting in your life, and what you can do about it all to be your happiest.\nWhy choose me as your tarot reader?\nI have always been a witch, and I grew up in a Spiritualist home. I went to my first table-tipping and facilitated energy healing sessions before I hit puberty. I’ve been reading cards for nearly 20 years. My experience with magical and divination practice is infused with constant and diverse spirit listening. My mediumship primarily manifests in clairsentience (clear feeling) and claircognizance (clear knowing), with some clairaudience (clear hearing): all of this means I feel my mediumship in my body, primarily through physical sensation on my skin and in my muscles. My card reading always starts from this intuitive place, not from the dozens of tarot books I’ve read over the years (though those certainly haven’t hurt). My readings find their roots in solidifying the relationship between querent (that’s you!), cards, spirit, and myself as a communication channel to notice and express energies manifesting in your life, and what you can do about it all to be your happiest self.\nI really believe that every tarot reader has a different perspective on reading the cards, and that all of these methods are valid. What matters is finding the right reader for you at a certain point in time. I may be the perfect reader for you this week! Maybe next year someone else’s vibes may mesh with your wavelength a little more. Who knows, maybe we’ll just get each other. It’s all good. I don’t pretend to have a monopoly on understanding the One Way of the tarot. Follow your intuition. There is some spectacular magic that can happen when you follow your bliss and your gut and find a reader who connects with your spirits and your energies and your concerns at just the right time. Tarot reading is, for me, a truly intuitive and collaborative experience. I love flowing with the different energies that clients bring to a reading. I always hope to facilitate strong connection, breakthrough, and clarity.\nSliding scale rates\nIn the interest of making healing and spiritual clarity through tarot more financially accessible, I am offering tarot readings on a sliding scale on a selective basis. If this is an option you feel you require at this point in time, please contact me via email and we can discuss how I can best support making this service accessible for you.\nTime based readings\nInstead of arranging my prices based on how many cards we draw together or what spread we use, I arrange my pricing based on how much time we spend together. This leaves space for the reading to really open up and meet your needs – which may change, as our session moves along! What starts off as a three-card reading, looking at one general question, can get more complicated and nuanced depending what cards emerge and what further questions those cards stir up in you. Based on what cards we draw and how they relate to your inquiry, you may wish to shift focus within the reading: we can either draw more cards for clarity, or spend a lot of time unpacking just one. More cards doesn’t always mean more useful information.\n60 minute readings\nUsually starts with a 3-card reading to set the tone, moving into expansion with an intuitive spread that is responsive to your situation(s)\nIn-depth exploration of one or two general areas of your life\nIn-depth exploration of one specific nitty-gritty question\nLooking at the pros and cons of responding two different ways to one situation (i.e., choosing one job over another, attending a festival or not)\n90-120 minute readings\nUsually starts with a general 3-card reading or customized-to-you tarot spread; expansion into multi-card reading as we fine-tune your concerns\nGeneral exploration of 2-3 general areas of your life\nVery in-depth exploration of one area of concern, both general and specific (i.e., love life in general as well as getting down and dirty into the nitty-gritty details; or: health in general and delving into different modalities of self-care and community-care)\nLooking at the pros and cons of many different options (i.e., choosing between different schools, programs of study, jobs, or new cities to live in)\nHow to book a session\nI offer sessions in person in Toronto. We can have a session at a cafe, over a drink, or somewhere more private (my place or yours)! I know everyone has a different type of space that helps them feel more comfortable. Or, if mobility or distance is an issue, I’m happy to Skype, and regularly work with clients all over the world (including India, Australia, USA, UK)!\nIf you’re interested in booking, please browse over to my Online Appointment Booking System!\nChoosing your deck\nI am currently doing readings with three tarot decks (all illustrated by women), though I live with many more. These decks are the Rider-Waite-Smith, a classic and one of my favourite decks of all time due to how iconic and communicative the illustrations are; Thea’s Tarot, a 70s queer deck illustrated in black and white paper cuts by Ruth West; and The Wild Unknown by Kim Krans, which has simple, sketchy, animal and plant-centric imagery. You can see the three decks on this images on this page. They each have different personalities and imagery, and will result in different energy and different readings. Please choose the deck that you feel drawn to the most! The RWS deck is more traditional in its imagery, while Thea’s Tarot has a more obviously dykey, non-binary, gender-fluid vibe. Or, avoid human imagery altogether and lose yourself in The Wild Unknown’s stark, evocative images of nature. (Addendum: I recently added The Dark Days tarot to my roster, more on that soon!)\nDo your part: how to prepare\nLet me help you make the most out of our time together! Before our session, I ask you to please spend some time connecting to your heart and your body, so we can really work together on addressing your most pressing concerns. Calm your mind and body, if you can, and move forward with an open mind and heart, without blocking off any potential avenues for action and growth without fully exploring it and giving it a chance. Try to make a short-list of priority topics. A tarot reading can offer insight on any area of life, including classics like employment, love, and family; but we can also consult the tarot about community organizing, self-care, self-love, artistic process, and chosen family.\nIf you’re not sure how to formulate the best questions, I can help you during our session. However, in order to get the biggest bang for your buck, I’d suggest coming prepared with a few open-ended questions (i.e.: not of the yes-or-no variety). Some inspiration: What do I need to know about _ right now? What do I need to keep in mind when addressing _ this week/month/year? What type of attitude and perspective is necessary on my part to achieve a positive and healthy experience in relation to _?\nI also ask that, together, we respect the cards, the spirits, and the process of mutual creation and discovery that happens within a tarot reading. The cards may not tell you what you want to hear, and I may not either! Tarot does not always pad our egos. Tarot can tell us where we fucked up, and what we’ve done well. I ask that you enter into this process with me with an open heart, an open mind, and an understanding that in my practice my methodology is one of intuition and of love and collaboration. Whatever I share with you from the cards and the spirits comes from a place of true belief that we can all be better, and that you have the tools you need to understand and change your situation with increased clarity. Cultivating reflexivity and self-understanding is an important part of transformation – and the tarot is really great at helping to push this process along!\nSomething else to consider: please take the reading process seriously! Please don’t waste my time, your time, or the time and effort of our spirits and guides. If you’re going to book a reading, please don’t disrespect the process or what emerges as we work together. Tarot does not always tell you exactly what you want to hear!\nI am a queer identified non binary femme and have experience with trauma and different forms of disability and chronic illness. All of the work that I do, including my tarot readings, is invigorated by a fierce anti-oppressive ethic and I strive to fight sexism, racism, colonialism, misogyny, transphobia, homophobia, fatphobia, ableism, white supremacy, and cis supremacy in all that I do. Your readings with me are strictly confidential; I will not share your deets with anyone. I will never push one solution on you. I will never act as though I know more about your situation than you do. I will not act as though your future is set in stone. Instead, I will work with you to notice the energies (both flowing and blocked) in your life, as shown to us by the cards, and work with you to make a plan to face it all head-on and with renewed sense of self-knowledge, self-affirmation, self-love, and confidence.

These meditations are suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners, and they can be practiced at any time or place.\nFirst published in 1993, this book has since been translated into many languages, making its wisdom accessible to a global audience. The book’s collection of meditations focuses on various aspects of mindfulness, including breathing, walking, eating, and working.\nWhat sets this book apart is its simplicity and ease of use. Hanh’s clear and concise instructions make the meditations accessible to people of all levels of experience. In cases where specific meditation exercises require a certain level of prior experience, the book explicitly mentions this, allowing readers to navigate and choose accordingly. Additionally, the book provides valuable guidance on setting up a meditation practice and overcoming common challenges that may arise.\nDrawing upon the principles of Theravada Buddhism, Hanh’s teachings transcend religious boundaries, offering insights and guidance relevant to people of all faiths and backgrounds. This timeless book can be revisited and reread over time, providing continuous opportunities for personal growth and transformation.\nBeyond the guided meditations, the book includes practical tips on incorporating mindfulness into everyday life, empowering readers to cultivate a deeper sense of presence and tranquility in their daily routines.\nOverall, The Blooming of a Lotus stands as a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their mindfulness practice and cultivate inner peace. Hanh’s wisdom and guidance provide a clear roadmap for personal transformation, offering a path to greater happiness and well-being.", "domain": "hobby"}

They are arresting and can be extremely versatile – no wonder they’re popular. I created two wedding invitations where the only difference was the one image. What a difference that one change makes.\nIn the first invitation, I used Hungarian folk art embroidery – in fact, it’s a Transylvanian style. You can see some examples here. It looks like lace, yet it’s mostly crewel work – embroidery using wool. This tends to look more robust than silk embroidery, which helps give the invitation its rugged look. Interestingly, there’s a formal air to the design too – an unusual combination.\nI also created a lacy backer.\nWe’ve ended up with a design that’s elegant, rugged and formal – in fact, it looks almost like it could be cloth, a very pleasing effect.\nIt’s very different from the other chalkboard wedding invitation design.\nThis wedding invitation is intensely romantic in an old fashioned way – Lily of the Valley was such a popular flower to depict love. At the same time, the chalk board gives it a fresh and modern feel, as does the splash of red adding color to the couple’s names. The Lily of the Valley also gives movement and a clean feel. This design is wonderfully romantic and traditional but with a twist. It’s just right for the contemporary traditionalist.\nWhat’s a visual that captures heartbeat?

He said there was absolutely nothing wrong with the bike. Before I left the shop owner told me that there was one thing the bike did need. Inside I groaned, then he said: “It needs to be ridden.”\nThis morning I got up to go to work got in my car to leave and it wouldn’t start. Turn the key and all it did was click, click, click.\nBattery, starter, alternator?\nGot some one to give me a jump and it fired right up. Drove it to the auot parts store and after a load test it turned out the battery was bad.\nSo a battery and a new post clamp later the car was back up and running.\nWhy does my car have to be jealous of my bike. 🙂\nLast year, about 14 months ago; I decided to get me motorcycle endorsement and I signed up for the class.\nHaving passed the class but not having a bike I bided my time and saved my pennies. 3 weeks ago I bought my first bike.\nA Honda Rebel, a nice small bike with classic cruiser styling. The bike is a 2006 with very low mileage, engine roll bar, and saddle bags.\nThe best part is it fit right in my budget with a little left over.\nReally I’ve wanted a bike since I was in my late teens early 20’s.\nIt was at that time I came across a book called Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. The book actually has very little to actually do with the mechanics of a motorcycle.\nWhat the book IS about is how a motorcycle brought a father closer to his son; based on a motorcycle trip he and his young son Chris took from Minneapolis to San Francisco.\nIt also talks about taking the time to see things; how with a motorcycle you’re not confined to a box. It is about quality and not quantity that has become such a part of life still today.\nYou have the ability to really see things and not just see them but experience them. It is about seeing the details, the finer things. More than that it was also about self discovery.\nIt was at that time in my life that I had some access to a dirt bike. I rode when I could here and there and I loved it.\nAt that time it never came about that I was able to get a bike of my own and from there it was pushed to the back of my mind and for quite a while actually forgotten.\nIt was a couple of years ago just after I got my Kindle that I picked up a book by Neil Peart the drummer for Rush.\nThe name of the book: Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road; It is about how within the span of one year he lost his daughter to a car accident and his wife to cancer.\nTo say he was devastated would be putting it mildly. In the course of his grieving he decided to take a motorcycle trip. He started in Canada and ended in Mexico.\nAfter reading this book the desire for a bike once again returned and this time I wasn’t going to say no to it.\nYesterday I took the bike out for my first real ride, after neighborhood riding the first few times to get the feel of it. There is a road that runs along the coast; still very unpopulated and very little traffic.\nThe road twists and turns through pine forests, coastal creeks, salt flats, and a bird sanctuary. I’ve driven that road a hundred times since I’ve lived her, but never have I experienced it the way I did yesterday.\nIt was a cool morning and not a cloud in the sky, the wind in my face as I rode made me feel alive, the colors of the trees and grass so vibrant.\nI logged 30 miles on that ride and I am already looking forward to the next.\nWill I ever make the kind of journey Robert Persig or Neil Peart did? More than likely not; I don’t have the kind of resources to travel like that but it sure would be an adventure if I could.\nWill I manage to do it in my own sweet way? You bet your bottom dollar.\nAs may may have surmised from the title I am from Florida, the Gulf Coast to be exact. But to lay to rest any questions; I am not an Eagle.\nSo where does the Eagle come from you may ask, or not; but I will tell you anyway.\nWhere I live; being close to the Gulf of Mexico many years ago I took up the hobby of kayak fishing. I found it to not just be an excellent way to find fish but also a way to spend some quiet time out on the water.\nThere is a particular area that I go on a regular basis as it is close to home yet is a rather nice spot. During the cooler months I will be out on the water before dawn, my favorite time. The wind is generally calm, there are none of the daily boaters buzzing across the water yet, and watching the sunrise from out on the water can be simply amazing.\nAlong the shore there are a pair of nesting Eagles, (snowbirds if you will) for this is their winter home. Many a morning over the last 9 years of fishing that area the Eagles and I have shared the dawn. Me casting a line while they circle above looking for the first meal of the day with the coming dawn.\nOver the years I’ve come to think of them as friends, their beauty as they float above scanning the water, the grace as they fold their wings and dive, then just as you think they are about to hit the water they turn and lift with a fish in their talons. One time they landed on shore just a few yards from where I floated in my tiny craft and I watched them as they ate their morning catch. Such power was just incredible.\nOften I’ve wondered what it would be like to soar freely as they do, yet in my own way I suppose I do.", "domain": "hobby"}

For most players the best line is at or slightly right of the marker post although anything too far right may end up in the ditch that borders the fairway. Playing left of the post runs the risk of being blocked out by the trees. Club selection is all important for the approach shot as out of bounds awaits behind the green. Aim left of the flag to avoid the steep bank right of the green.\nPro’s Tip: Don’t go through this green as out of bounds waits.\nFor bigger hitters, a drive over or slightly right of the tree will find the down slope on the fairway and gain an all important extra few yards. For most, however, a tee shot aimed at the marker post will take the two grass bunkers out of play. A good second shot here will set up a chance to attack the flag but check your yardages to this deep green as there can be as much as two clubs difference between front and back pin positions.\nPro’s Tip: Bigger hitters can take on the fairway bunker, this considerably shortens the hole.\nFor bigger hitters, a drive over or slightly right of the tree will find the down slope on the fairway and gain an all important extra few yards. For most, however, a tee shot aimed at the marker post is the ideal play. A good second shot here will set up a chance to attack the flag but check your yardages to this deep green as there can be as much as two clubs difference between front and back pin positions.\nPro’s Tip: Your second shot will most likely be from a sloping lie so adjust your stance accordingly.\nThis 90 degree dog leg left demands a tee shot of around 200 yards aimed at the marker to set up a short approach into the green, although depending on the wind direction it can often play a lot longer off the tee. The green is defended by a narrow stream and two large trees making a clean strike essential into the up sloping green. Longer hitters may be brave (or perhaps foolish) enough to take the green on from the tee, even though it demands a shot played over two lines of trees (and the out of bounds) aimed at a green that cannot be seen from the tee. Some succeed, but many never see their ball again.\nPro’s Tip: It’s easy to over shoot this green, a lateral water hazard waits at the back.\nArguably the most daunting tee shot on the golf course. Picking the right line here is essential as the further left your aim, the longer the carry required to reach the fairway. Hitting the tee shot with a slight draw will follow the line of the fairway and shorten this long par 4, otherwise, best to play safe and don’t be tempted to take on too much of the tree line, as anything left or in the stream is OB. Your approach shot to a difficult green is likely to be played with the ball above your feet, so aiming at the right half of the green is advised as the ball will generally gather from there towards the centre. Depending where the hole is cut you may well still be left with a putt with a double break. This is stroke index 2 for a good reason!\nPro’s Tip: Confident long hitters can take on more of the corner than you think but you will need a 220 yard carry.\nOften played into the prevailing wind, this hole tends to play longer than its yardage suggests and only an accurate shot will find the green. Anything short will be caught by the bunkers guarding the front approaches.\nPro’s Tip: Take time out and enjoy the magnificent views.\nAn inviting tee shot to a broad, upward sloping fairway leaving a mid to short iron approach to the green. Club selection for your approach is critical here: Pitch it on the bank short of the green and the ball may well stop short on the up slope; hit it long and you are likely to be faced with a tricky downhill put on this steeply sloping green. Get it just right, and you’ll be rewarded with an uphill putt and a good chance of making birdie.\nPro’s Tip: Hit your approach big and you will need a putting touch better than Tiger Woods.\nOn this shortish par 5 alongside the reservoir a confident drive aimed at the white marker post is best as there is out of bounds both left and right on this hole. Stay well to the left with your second to set up the best approach to the green. This will open up the green allowing an attacking approach shot and also takes the bunkers hiding on the right out of play – the undulating green still presents a challenge\nPro’s Tip: This green falls away to the back with a large step so you need to think hard about your approach.\nBeware of over-hitting this short par 3, the easiest hole on the course. Sand traps await should you under estimate the distance. Bunkers short and right await wayward shots.\nPro’s Tip: Stroke 18 and the number of shots dropped on this hole is amazing, anywhere on the green will do.\nAnother daunting tee shot to begin the back nine! The ideal target line is the furthest Poplar Tree on the right hand side of the fairway. Any tee shot straying to the right may be fortunate enough to end up on the adjacent fairway but is just as likely to get snagged up in the trees. The green slopes gently away from the fairway and is protected by a large bunker short right. Keep it straight and this hole offers a good birdie opportunity\nPro’s Tip: A thin row of trees to the right of the fairway will punish a wayward tee shot and will have you trying to manufacture shots to the green.\nA good drive to the middle of the fairway is required here if you want to have any chance of attacking this green in two as it is the approach shot that defines this hole. With a three tiered green; bunkers front left, and back right; trees on both sides and a large pond thrown in for good measure it has everything you could possibly want. Birdies here are few and far between, although as many pars are achieved by laying up short of the water and attacking the flag with a short iron as they are by taking on the green after a poor tee shot.\nPro’s Tip: In my opinion this is one of the best holes in Derbyshire. Enjoy.\nOn this modest par 5 the ideal tee-shot line is centre fairway and aiming at the conifer hedge is usually a good reference point. The second shot here is all about position. A ditch cuts across the fairway about 100 yards short of the green and is marked by a number of trees including on centre fairway. Choose your club carefully to avoid over running into the ditch and leave yourself the chance to take on the flag with a short to mid iron. Big hitters may go for the green, or at least try to clear the ditch with their second, but the more cautious may prefer to lay-up and go for a safe par.\nPro’s Tip: Be careful not to be blocked out by the tree when laying up short of the fairway ditch.\nWith the green not visible from the tee this hole depends on good club selection and commitment. Any shot falling slightly short will tend to helped on by a kick forwards and to the left, but anything too long will run away down the steep banking behind the green. Bunkers short right, and left of the green are similarly invisible from the tee, so beware!\nPro’s Tip: There is more room on the right than you think.\nThe signature hole of Chapel’s picturesque course offers either heaven or hell. Don’t let the yardage fool you here – it may not be long, but that doesn’t make it simple! The green is defended by a large duck pond which runs all the way up to the front edge of the putting surface. Play your tee shot for position, aiming at the red marker post which stands out behind the green. A well struck approach here can set up a good birdie opportunity but anything short will have you reaching into your bag for another ball!\nPro’s Tip: For the longer hitter try to get as close to the pond as you can. The bank up to the pond should save you if you flush one.\nThis narrow par 3 plays its part in testing your skill. Straight line accuracy, even if a little short on approach, offers you the chance to keep par.\nPro’s Tip: The green slopes right to left so aim towards the right hand side of the green.\nGently curving to the left, and uphill all the way this hole tends to play even longer than its yardage. A good drive to the middle or right of the fairway will open up the views of the green. Any approach shot played from distance will tend to gather from the left as it runs onto the green, however there is also a hidden bunker back left if you over do it! One of the most testing greens on the course, and rarely a straight putt to close out a well deserved par.\nPro’s Tip: This hole is the first of one of the most demanding finishes in Derbyshire. A drive onto the fairway is essential.\nDown the gently sloping hill, keep the drive centre fairway to give yourself a great chance of attacking the green in two. Anything left or right tends to rule out this option, and too far right will find the out of bounds. This green slopes away from the approach shot and hides many interesting breaks. Skilled players will still find this well guarded hole quite testing.\nPro’s Tip: Land your approach a little short as your shot will always run on more than you think.\nThe final hole, and a wonderful example of a classic par 5. . A well placed tee shot to the central fairway sets up a straight forward second between the trees to the end of the fairway. Take care as you play your approach shot between the trees, over the stream, avoiding the inconspicuous deep bunker left, onto the rambling final green. As you would expect, many interesting, challenging breaks are well hidden, force you to concentrate right to the very end.\nPro’s Tip: Don’t make the mistake of trying to lay up to close to the stream as you will find yourself playing into the green from a steep downhill lie.\nThe cookie settings on this website are set to \"allow cookies\" to give you the best browsing experience possible.

Here, at the end of the tarmacked road, we have to change vehicles. The pre-booked Bus Alpin is as reliable as our PostBus and takes us to the starting point of our hike in Pian Geirètt (2012 m). There, as the intriguing conveyor track of the Scaletta Lodge is being loaded, we begin to walk uphill. Having set off after a hearty meal and inspired by the call of the Greina Plateau, we pass by the lodge, resting only briefly at the cairns on Scaletta Pass (2235 m) after the steep climb. After a final glance back to Ticino, we say “ciao Bella” and walk on towards Grisons. Over scree and snow fields we climb up to the Passo Greina (2355 m), where the expanse of the legendary Greina Plateau reveals itself to us for the first time. What a sight! Rocks, gravel, snow tongues, bare heathland that has only recently escaped its winter covering, and meandering waters. Incredible that this extraordinarily beautiful landscape was once meant to give way to a reservoir. In 1985 these plans caused nationwide protests, which saw the Greina Plateau in the headlines for months. Due to its unparalleled biotope diversity, this landscape was included in the Federal Inventory as a protected area and is now one of the Swiss natural monuments of national importance.\nCiao Ticino, bun di Grischun!\nWe enjoy our hike through this plateau, which is just over six kilometres long and approximately one kilometre wide. It is set amidst secluded mountains, far off the beaten track. For our packed lunch we seek out a spot sheltered from the wind and simply can’t get enough of the views. When you look closer at your immediate surroundings, you are bound to notice the Alpine flowers and moss, growing in the smallest crevices. As if striving for harmony with the colours of the lichen-covered rocks, an entire field of yellow gentian presents itself at the side of the path. The photographers among us rejoice and we all revel in these sights.\nApproximately halfway across the plateau we pass the turnoff to Motterascio Lodge, a charming option for another time. Today, however, we head towards Grisons and climb Diesrut Pass (2428 m). Over a steep path we quickly gain altitude, and take one last look back over the Greina Plateau and Terri Lodge, in its spectacular location at the entrance to the valley. Our destination is Puzzatsch (1667 m) in the Val Lumnezia, where we arrive after a two and a half-hour descent through pastures full of flowers and past alps. Our PostBus is already waiting, admired by the villagers on the village square. Here we find a beautiful old fountain, perfect for cooling down our hot feet. Like a prickling spa treatment! We conclude this unforgettable day’s hike with a drive in the open-top PostBus through the beautiful Val Lumnezia, the Valley of Light, towards the Rhine Gorge, the next scenic jewel!\nHike Pian Geirètt – Scaletta Pass – Greina Pass – Greina plateau – Diesrut Pass – Puzzatsch, approximately 7 hours, T2", "domain": "hobby"}

This includes eight-ball, nine-ball, and straight pool.\nThe earliest recorded history of playing a recognizable form of billiards was in 14th century France. Originally played as an outdoor lawn game comparable to croquet, it ultimately moved indoors and onto a wooden table with green cloth in order to resemble the grass on which it had been played formerly. By the early 1700s, indoor billiards was a preferred pastime of French nobility and English gentry.\nBy the 1800s, the cue had developed into the design that it is known for today, aided by advances in technologies that came about during the Industrial Revolution. There were many adaptations of the game by this time with some utilizing obstructions and targets while others relied on the table cushions alone, such as carom billiards. Another obstacle/target that was added to the table came in the form of pockets, leading to the rise of pocket billiards.\nThe earliest version of pocket billiards was played with only two balls and the players would each take a ball and try to pot the other. Up to a dozen players could be included in a game at any one time, each with their own cue and ball playing in a fixed rotation. To distinguish between each player’s ball, they were frequently numbered and stained with a dye. The range of colors included white, red, yellow, green, and brown with blue, pink, and black coming at a later date. After these colors were used, more players could enter by adding colored balls with a cross or a spot.\nThe word “pool” means a collective bet or playing for money and during the 1800s, American poolrooms were betting parlors for horse racing. Pocket billiard tables were installed in them so patrons could pass the time between races but soon enough the word pool had become attached to the American form of pocket billiards. The first pocket billiards championship was played in 1878 with the dominant form of the game being American Four-Ball Billiards. Professional players became so well known that cigarette cards were issued featuring them.\nThe most famous pool game, eight-ball, was invented shortly after 1900. A decline in popularity of the sport occurred post WW2, but the game of pool was revived after the 1961 film “The Hustler” featuring Paul Newman as a pool hustler was released. New poolrooms opened across America coinciding with the creation of coin-operated tables helping to give the game a large boost.\nPool is now frequently televised on U.S. and international networks. Nine-ball is the favored championship game of choice due to its fast-paced nature, making it suited for TV and audience engagement.", "domain": "hobby"}

However, keeping them that way can be a challenge. Mushrooms are delicate and can easily spoil if not stored properly. In this article, I will share my tips on how to keep mushrooms fresh and flavorful from the fridge to the plate.\nWhy Proper Storage Is Important for Mushrooms\nMushrooms are living organisms, and like any other living thing, they require specific conditions to thrive. Proper storage is crucial to maintain the freshness and flavor of mushrooms. If not stored correctly, mushrooms can become slimy, discolored, and develop an unpleasant odor. Moreover, improper storage can lead to the growth of harmful bacteria, making them unsafe to consume.\nUnderstanding the Different Types of Mushrooms\nBefore we dive into the best ways to store mushrooms, it’s essential to understand the different types of mushrooms. Each mushroom variety has its unique flavor and texture, and therefore, requires different storage conditions.\nFor example, button mushrooms are the most commonly found variety and have a mild flavor. Shiitake mushrooms, on the other hand, have a more robust and earthy flavor. Oyster mushrooms have a delicate flavor and are best consumed within a few days of purchase. Knowing the different types of mushrooms will help you choose the best storage option for them.\nHow to Choose the Freshest Mushrooms\nWhen buying mushrooms, always look for ones that are firm, dry, and free from blemishes. Avoid mushrooms that are slimy or have a strong odor, as these are signs of spoilage. Fresh mushrooms should have a smooth, unblemished cap and a firm stem. If the cap is open, it means the mushrooms are starting to dry out and will not be as fresh.\nThe Best Way to Store Mushrooms – Temperature and Humidity Requirements\nMushrooms are sensitive to temperature and humidity changes, so it’s essential to store them in the right conditions. The ideal temperature for storing mushrooms is between 32°F to 36°F (0°C to 2°C). Additionally, mushrooms require a high level of humidity to maintain their freshness. Aim for a humidity level of 90-95% when storing mushrooms.\nTips for Storing Mushrooms in the Fridge\nThe fridge is the best place to store mushrooms as it provides the right temperature and humidity level. Here are some tips for storing mushrooms in the fridge:\n- Keep mushrooms in their original packaging or wrap them in a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.\n- Place the mushrooms in the vegetable crisper drawer, away from any air vents.\n- Avoid washing mushrooms before storing them in the fridge, as they will absorb excess moisture and become slimy.\n- Store mushrooms away from strong-smelling foods like onions and garlic, as they can absorb the odor and affect the flavor of the mushrooms.\nHow to Store Mushrooms Long-Term\nIf you want to store mushrooms for an extended period, freezing is the best option. But, it’s important to note that freezing will change the texture of the mushrooms. Here’s how to freeze mushrooms:\n- Clean and slice the mushrooms.\n- Blanch the mushrooms in boiling water for 2-3 minutes.\n- Drain and rinse the mushrooms under cold water.\n- Pat the mushrooms dry and place them in a freezer bag or airtight container.\n- Label the container with the date and freeze for up to six months.\nCommon Mistakes to Avoid When Storing Mushrooms\nWhen it comes to storing mushrooms, there are some common mistakes you should avoid:\n- Storing mushrooms in a plastic bag – this can cause excess moisture buildup and lead to spoilage.\n- Washing mushrooms before storing – this can cause them to become slimy.\n- Storing mushrooms at room temperature – this can cause them to spoil quickly.\n- Not checking mushrooms for spoilage regularly – spoiled mushrooms can contaminate other foods in the fridge.\nHow to Tell if Mushrooms Have Gone Bad\nIt’s essential to check mushrooms for spoilage regularly, as spoiled mushrooms can cause foodborne illness. Here are some signs to look out for:\n- Slimy texture\n- Unpleasant odor\n- Wrinkled or shriveled appearance\nCreative Ways to Use Mushrooms in Your Cooking\nMushrooms are a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. Here are some creative ways to use mushrooms in your cooking:\n- Add sautéed mushrooms to pasta dishes for extra flavor and texture.\n- Stuff mushrooms with your favorite filling for a delicious appetizer.\n- Make a mushroom risotto for a comforting and flavorful meal.\n- Use mushrooms as a meat substitute in burgers or meatballs for a vegetarian option.\nConclusion – Enjoy Your Fresh and Flavorful Mushrooms!\nIn conclusion, proper storage is essential to maintain the freshness and flavor of mushrooms. Understanding the different types of mushrooms and their storage requirements can help you choose the best storage option for them. Remember to check mushrooms for spoilage regularly and avoid common storage mistakes. By following these tips, you can enjoy fresh and flavorful mushrooms in your cooking.", "domain": "hobby"}

This fighting art was once used in real combat by Siamese soldiers. During the last couple of centuries the emphasis has been on sport. Muay Thai is often referred to as the art of eight limbs because it involves using almost every part of the body. The Nak Muay (Thai fighter) uses his legs, knees, feet, hands, and elbows to attack the opponent. Traditional Muay Thai (Muay Boran) can also use weapons – a good example of this is Krabi Krabong which is commonly taught in Thai schools.\nDespite its fierce reputation it is actually possible for practically anyone to enjoy Muay Thai. Age is no barrier to the training – there are people learning this martial art for the first time in their sixties. The only real requirement is that people have a reasonably amount of physical fitness. If people hope to do well in sport Muay Thai then it is better that they begin at an early age but for most Nak Muay outside of Thailand this will not be their motivation.\nMuay Thai can be a great option for people in recovery because:\n* It teaches self discipline\n* It increases self confidence and self esteem. One of the characteristics of the addictive personality is low self esteem so anything that can increase this is helpful.\n* It allows the Nak Muay to gain mastery over their body.\n* Muay Thai is an intense physical activity. This means that those who practice it can gain a high degree of physical fitness.\n* This type of martial arts training can teach people humility and patience. These are highly beneficial attitudes for people in recovery.\n* Muay Thai can be a type of moving meditation – especially when practicing Muay Boran or shadow boxing.\n* It increases balance and coordination.\n* Learning Muay Thai is a wonderful way to socialize and meet new people.\n* People in early recovery may find that they are faced with a great deal of stress, and this is not something they might be used to. Muay Thai is a great outlet for pent up tension in the body.\n* It gives the individual the confidence to be able to defend themselves if they were ever physically attacked.\n* Some people find that this type of martial art can be a type of spiritual path.\n* If is a wonderful hobby for people in recovery because it involves so many challenges. Boredom is a risk for people who are trying to stay sober but with Muay Thai there is never a dull moment.\n* A Muay Thai session is a great way to vent frustrations. Just kicking a bag for a few minutes can help people release negative emotions.\n* The life of the Nak Muay is the complete opposite of the path of the addict.\nIt is possible to practice Muay Thai as a sport or as an art. Sport Muay Thai is focused on competition fighting. The aim of the training is to help the individual develop the skills they will need to perform well in the ring. For many Nak Muay who are focused on the sport their aim will be to build up conditioning prior to a fight. Once the fight is out of the way they will reduce their training (some even stop altogether) until they have the next fight to build up to. Many of those who are involved in sport Muay Thai will give the martial art up when they no longer want to fight. There are usually no belts, or other grading system, in Muay Thai so people can easily lose motivation if they have no fight to build toward. Some western gyms have introduced belts to keep students motivated.\nMuay Thai as an art is something that people can turn into a lifelong practice. The aim here is to master techniques and there is always something new to learn. Those who are interested in the art of Muay Thai might never bother with entering fights. There is also traditional Muay Thai which uses strikes that would not be allowed in competition. Many Nak Muay are interested in both the art and sport of Muay Thai. It is more about the motivations of the individual than the actual school teaching this martial art. Some students turn up to Muay Thai class with the intention of fighting in competition while others are more focused on mastering the subtleties of the art.\nThere can be a great deal of variation in Muay Thai training sessions. In Thailand a typical session involves:\n* 30 minute warm up. This can be either running or using a skipping rope.\n* Shadow boxing\n* Pad work involves a trainer holding pads while the Nak Muay attempts different techniques. Pad work is usually done in rounds – for example, there could be five rounds each of which is 4 minutes.\n* Bag work involves practicing techniques on the various bags in the gyms. The heavier bags allow the Nak Muay to build up their conditioning.\n* Clinching (Plam Muay) involves using grappling techniques against an opponent. While clinching it is also possible to land knees and pull the opponent off balance.\n* Sparring involves using all techniques against an opponent. The Nak Muay will usually wear more protective gear than in a real Muay Thai fight and they will be advised to take it easy.\nThere are now Muay Thai lesson available in most urban areas around the globe. There are a few things worth considering before taking up this type of class:\n* Those people who have not exercised in a long time or have any type of medical condition will be advised to seek medical advice before taking up Muay Thai.\n* It will be necessary for people to purchase a few items in order to be able to train Muay Thai. The items needed include: shorts, hand wraps, gum shield, and gloves.\n* Most Muay Thai schools will provide a free introduction lesson. It is worth attending a few different schools to get a feel for what each has to offer.\n* If people do not wish to spar or clinch then they do not have to take part in these activities. Beginners will usually wait a few months before they attempt this type of combat.\n* Some Thai boxing camps in the west now use a belt grading system. This can be a good option for beginners because it will help to keep them motivated.\n* Those people who are completely new to Muay Thai might prefer to try some private lessons at first. This will allow them to build their confidence before joining a regular class.\n* One of the great joys of Muay Thai is the opportunity to go train in Thailand. There are many camps in Thailand that have special packages for westerners who want to go train there.\nMuay Thai is not something that is going to appeal to everyone. There are plenty of other martial arts that offer similar benefits and these are also worth considering including:\n* Tai Chi is a martial art that is best known as a type of moving meditation. This is a good option for people who desire a far less intense experience than Muay Thai.\n* Tae Kwon Do is currently the most popular martial art in the world. It involves flashy high kicks and can also be practiced as a sport or an art.\n* Karate is the Okinawan art of the empty hand. There are many styles of Karate and there are believed to be as many as 50 million practitioners of Karate.\n* Aikido is a Japanese martial art that is believed to be effective for people no matter what their size. It is described as a spiritual path as well as a combat system.\n* Kung Fu was made famous by the legendary Bruce Lee. This Chinese martial art has something to offer people of all ages and abilities.", "domain": "hobby"}

Daytime use telescopes are often called \"Spotting Scopes\". Some daytime scopes can be used for astronomy and some (not all) astronomy telescopes can be used for daytime viewing. You need to determine your purposes for using a telescope before determining which scope is right for you!\nTwo Designs of Spotting Scopes: Refractor and Catadioptric\nMagnifications for Daytime Viewing\nMost daytime viewing is done at magnifications ranging from 15 power to 60 power. (Binoculars generally provide 7-10 power). There is a limit to how much you can clearly magnify an image during the day and that limit is a function of the clarity of the air. Heat, moisture, fog, pollution, or dust will also be magnified along with your ultimate target. Heat or fog magnified 60 times looks hotter or foggier than if it was magnified 20 times! Higher power, therefore, does not always look as clear as lower power.\nField of View\nThe angular field of view, or the size of the area viewed from side to side, is expressed in degrees. Linear field of view refers to the width of the area, in feet, that can be observed at 1,000 yards in front of you. Angular field can be converted to linear field by multiplying each degree by 52.5 feet.\nGenerally speaking, the lower the power, the wider the field of view. Higher magnification has a narrower field of view.\nLens Diameter - Brightness\nThe larger the spotting scope's objective lens (front lens), the more light it gathers and the brighter your image will be. Most spotting scopes have lens diameters ranging from 60mm to 90mm. The larger diameter models are heavier for fieldwork but will give you better, brighter performance in the dark woods or in the lowlight of dawn or dusk.\nLens Coatings - Clarity and Color Resolution\nOptical coatings are important because they improve the amount of light throughput. Better coatings allow more light to pass through the instrument to your eye. Better coatings also provide for greater clarity, contrast and color resolution. Lens coating levels range in quality as follows: coated, fully coated, multicoated and fully multicoated with fully multicoated giving you the best light transmission. Terminology may vary from one manufacturer to another; some \"multicoated\" lenses may in fact be fully multicoated. And not all coatings are created equally: better manufacturers have proprietary, sometimes patented, coatings that give better performance.\nAngled Body or Straight-Through Body\nSpotting scopes are available with eyepieces set at a 45-degree angle from the scope body or in a straight line with the spotting scope. Catadioptric designs usually have 45 degree eyepiece angles (and low power auxiliary finderscopes) which is preferable if you choose to use your spotter also as an astronomical instrument.\nOne design is not better than the other; rather it is simply a matter of personal preference.\nThe straight-through eyepiece design can provide a more natural \"line of sight\" view, making it easier for users to properly aim the spotter at the target they are seeing with the naked eye.\nAngled eyepiece designs may be more comfortable if you are sharing the instrument with users of different heights, i.e. children. The angled design is also more comfortable looking at overhead objects or views.\nSpotting scopes mount on camera or video tripods that are generally sold separately from the spotter. If you have a sturdy camera or video tripod, it may be sufficient for your spotter. The tripod must be sturdy enough to steadily hold the scope with a minimum of vibration.\nIf you are purchasing a tripod for a spotter, we recommend video tripods because they \"pan\" smoothly as you move the scope. Both camera and video tripods have a ¼\" 20 standard screw on the head of the tripod that can also be used with still cameras or video cameras.\nSuitability for Astronomy\nSpotting scopes can be used for astronomy with varying degrees of success. We recommend a minimum of an 80mm aperture (lens diameter), an angled eyepiece and an auxiliary finderscope for that purpose. A spotting scope this size (used in dark-sky conditions) will provide excellent images of the moon and good images of Jupiter, Saturn and many bright \"deep sky\" objects.\nNear focus is the distance between the instrument and the nearest object you can focus on, while maintaining a sharp image. This feature is important if you have a nearby bird feeder or if you want to do photographic work.\n© Out of This World - All Rights Reserved", "domain": "hobby"}

During a match at the US Open, Evert lost her designer diamond bracelet that was designed by George Bedewi.\nA clasp on the bracelet had snapped, causing the bracelet to fall off. Evert asked the officials to pause the match until she found her bracelet. Ever since the incident, the diamond line bracelets have become known as tennis bracelets, and sports stars today, including Serena Williams, commonly wear them.\nEASY TO WEAR AND EASY ON THE EYE\nThe great thing about tennis bracelets is that, not only do they look stunning, but also they are easy to wear. This is why a lot of athletes wear them.\nThe form of the bracelet makes it convenient for those who play sport or have an active lifestyle, as they don’t have to wear a heavy bracelet that clatters around and gets in the way.\nInstead, a tennis bracelet is flexible and lightweight, which means there is less chance of it getting dinged or banged when playing a sport or carrying out day-to-day activities.", "domain": "hobby"}

It also uses oversized rollers to provide for a smooth travel of the belt, and the cushion flex whisper deck can decrease impact by up to 40%.\nSo not only are you feeling like each workout is a lot more comfortable, but you will also be putting a lot less pressure onto your knees each time you take a step. This is very important if you run regularly, as you do not want your knees to suffer after a while.\nYou get six built in workout programs with the F80, plus two custom programs so you can design your own workouts whenever you want. You will also get two heart rate programs too, so whatever your goal is with your workouts, whether it is to lose weight or build up your stamina, you will be able to design a program specifically for you if you wanted too.\nSpeed and incline capabilities\nWhen using the Sole F80, you will have a speed range of 0.5 up to 12mph. This gives even the quick athletes plenty to work with, and most will not get anywhere near the top speed for their running workouts. This also allows for the preset workout programs to really give you that diversity you need to really push yourself each time you train.\nYou also have an incline capability of up to 15%. This again adds even more variety to your workout options, and running or walking on an incline is going to target different muscles on your body plus really help push you to your physical limits if this is what you want to do.\n“This is my first treadmill ever, and I was nervous to spend so much money, but all the reviews everywhere (here and on Consumer Reports) said that this one was the best at-home treadmill you could buy. Why buy a cheaper one that will break in a year? You can’t beat the awesome warranty on frame, parts, and even labor. So with peace of mind, I took the plunge and placed my order.\nFirst off it is VERY HEAVY and even my weight-lifting husband had trouble dragging it into the garage. But once, in place, it assembled fairly easily–the trickiest part was the plastic cover pieces–it’s nearly impossible to reach or see the screw holes in some areas–but those are really for looks anyway. I just took my first run on it and I am TRULY IMPRESSED–I have run on treadmills at the gym before, and this is definitely comparable….” Snippet of review by “Pookapuff”. To read the review in full – Click Here\n“Overall Assessment: For features, functions, and overall quality at a very reasonable price, I think the Sole F80 is an outstanding value. As of this writing, we’ve had ours for 5 weeks, logged over 100 miles, and been through every workout numerous times. In general, the F80 has exceeded my expectations. It actually makes treadmill workouts “fun” – something I never expected. The standard preprogrammed workouts all vary the speed and/or incline about once a minute, alternating between stress and recovery. There are no long boring slogs (unless that’s what you want – then you just go manual).\nAnd the display screen provides so much feedback that you’re always aware of exactly what’s going on and what to expect next. That makes the time pass quickly, so that when I stop exercising, it’s because I’m tired; never because I’m bored….” Snippet of review by “T. OBrien”. To read the review in full – Click Here\nYou would be forgiven for thinking that the Sole F80 is a fixed treadmill that cannot be folded up for storage purposes, as most treadmills of this size usually are. But in fact the F80 uses the easy assist folding deck design, and has a patented all gear rack and pinion system that will allow effortless raising and release of the running deck.\nThis makes the F80 and excellent option for home use, as it can be quickly folded away and stored in the corner of the room without taking up much space when it is not being used.\nThe full dimensions of the F80 are:\n- Length = 80 inches\n- Width = 33 inches\n- Height = 58 inches\n- Weight = 265 pounds\nOverall thoughts for the Sole F80\nWhen you get innovation paired with quality, then you know you have a winning product. The fact that the Sole F80 was voted the best treadmill in this price range just goes to confirm the quality of this machine, and if you are looking for a treadmill in this price range then you will not find any better than this F80 model.", "domain": "hobby"}

They offer an exhilarating hobby for people of all ages. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced pilot, there is an RC plane out there that will perfectly suit your skill level and needs. But as with any other product, not all RC planes are made equal. In this article, we will look at some of the best RC planes currently available in the market.\nBefore we delve into our top picks, it’s crucial to note that when choosing an RC plane, factors such as durability, controls, flight time, and price are important things to consider.\nE-Flite Apprentice S 15e\nFor beginners, the E-Flite Apprentice S 15e stands out. It offers a panic recovery mode – if you lose control of the plane, simply push a button, and the aircraft will automatically right itself. The plane is built with high-wing trainer design, which is more stable and easier to fly, a perfect choice for those just starting out in the hobby.\nHobbyZone Carbon Cub S2\nThe HobbyZone Carbon Cub S2 is another fantastic option for beginners. It is equipped with a GPS module that allows the plane to fly back to you if it gets out of range. It also features a “virtual fence” that prevents the aircraft from flying too far away from you.\nE-Flite UMX Timber\nFor intermediate flyers, the E-Flite UMX Timber is an excellent choice. This model has a flight envelope broad enough to take on both slow flight and acrobatics. It also performs well in a variety of weather conditions, making it flexible and reliable.\nFMS F4U Corsair\nThe FMS F4U Corsair is ideal for advanced flyers. This warbird model is recognized for its speed and ability to perform high-precision aerobatics. It replicates the original’s inverted gullwing design and it is as stable as it is agile.\nUltimately, the best RC plane for you depends on your skill level, what you want to do with the model, and how much you are willing to spend. Remember, it’s essential to choose a model that fits your capabilities to ensure a positive flying experience.\nIn conclusion, with the rising popularity of RC planes, other similar remote control gadgets are coming into the spotlight. In fact, alongside RC planes, there is a growing market for electric skateboards. You may even see an electric skateboard for sale at your local hobby shop. Just like RC planes, electric skateboards offer a unique and fun way to pass the time and develop new skills.\nWhether you’re into RC planes or electric skateboards, one thing is for certain: remote control gadgets are here to stay. They offer a mixture of thrill and skill, a blend of technology and physical activity that many hobbies can’t match.", "domain": "hobby"}

I loved sleeping on the roof in summer time. Back home we have a special beds and mattress for the roof. I fell in love with the gorgeous full moon and I was fascinated by the endless sky full of stars. Around the age of 21 I got to know Astrology through the famous astrologer Ibrahim Hazbon’s radio program called “the world of horoscope” broadcast in Arabic from Tel Aviv\nSince the program was very successful, he started another one every Wednesday but this one with more information about astrology. He would choose a planet to talk about and discuss its effects on humans in detail. He would talk about each sign and its ruling planet.\nFor years I used to record his programs which lasted for almost an hour. Then I would listen to it again and write down all the information. He starts with the movement of the planets. Then he points out the most important events in the heaven. Then he responds to phone calls from people in various countries. People call in asking mainly about marriage, health, work and travel.\nA couple of years later, my neighbor was fixing my computer. He asked me if I wanted a program to be installed for free; he got through his friend called Vision which is about stars. It was completely a coincidence, a sign from the universe. This program helped me to know my astrology chart and charts of my friends and family.\nAstrology translated my behavior and put it into words that made it easy for me to understand myself. I discovered my personality, came to know my weaknesses, strengths, passions, emotions, and many other parts of my personality. Astrology opened my eyes to a different, fascinating world, world of horoscope related to planets in the galaxy. It has been a great way to comprehend the big universe we live in.\nWhen I came to the U.S.A. first time in 2004 for a visit, I got a great gift from a very lovely woman whom I met for the first time in my life. She gave me 20 books of astrology. Kathleen was the manager of my uncle & aunt’s antique store in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Those were a treasure but they are in English and still was hard for me but It was another sign from the universe.\nMy life journey for self-discovery took me to learn hypnotherapy.\nHypnotherapy changed my life and opened my eyes to new way of living. I learned how I can reprogram my thoughts to change a bad habit or to identify and transform a false belief. Hypnotherapy empowered me by giving me ways of communicating with my subconscious. I am more in touch with my senses and have enhanced my intuition and self-awareness.\nHypnotherapy helped me to be gentle with myself through the process of healing in this life time. It taught me to be compassionate with myself and toward others.\nSelf-hypnosis is a wonderful tool to learn and everybody can learn it. Learning how to relax the body and brain is very beneficial to begin with. By relaxing your body, you can reach this powerful mental state to give positive suggestions or affirmations to your subconscious.\nI have served in multiple positions and I am currently the President of San Francisco Astrological Society\nThe SFAS Steering Committee works to bring top level speakers to each of our monthly meetings, usually the last Thursday of each month. We emphasize variety, and aspire to keep our members engaged with current happenings in the field of astrology. We occasionally host a longer workshop format on a weekend for a special topic.\nThe goal of the San Francisco Astrology Society (SFAS) is to serve as an educational, professional and social networking resource to the Bay Area astrological community.\nThe San Francisco Astrology Society began in 1992 as an informal gathering of like-minded astrology students meeting in people’s homes in diverse neighborhoods such as the Sunset & Mission District to discuss astrology. Today we meet at The Women’s Building in the Mission District to accommodate the larger community. That spirit of warm conviviality continues in the monthly meetings that usually feature invited local and national astrological experts making dynamic and informative presentations!\nThe San Francisco Astrological Society (SFAS) provides an affordable monthly forum for people interested in astrology to gather and explore this ancient language. We welcome any person, from the mildly curious to the professional astrologer, who wants to delve deeper into the significance of the stars and planets to earthly life.\nFinally, the friendly atmosphere encourages and promotes both social and professional networking and connections among members of the community.", "domain": "hobby"}

Chain Link was the recipient of the Nike Game Changer Award for it’s work in the community in the past year. On hand to receive the award were Josh Gotthelf and Eric Newman who have proudly helped put Chain Link on the map not just as a high quality basketball program but as an organization that changes lives with each and every clinic and event. With the summer months around the corner Chain Link Fundamentals will once again be a game changer in a community near you. Please keep checking the site and our facebook page for updates.\nFeb 26, 2011 / 3:58 pm / posted by dimemag\nThanks to Chain Link’s everyday support base in the basketball community and Powerade two hundred youth participants from Los Angeles were able to participate in a pair of All-Star weekend clinics at the Galen Center on the campus of USC on February 20. A team of local coaches were pre-assembled to work with Chain Link Fundamentals to deliver a dynamic program for the participants that are members of LA’s Best and the After School All-Star’s organizations. It was a tremendous way to cap off All-Star weekend as the kids got to experience the Chain Link curriculum at a top notch facility with terrific teachers of the game.\nFeb 1, 2011 / 1:20 pm / posted by dimemag\nOn January 8th and January 22nd Chain Link Fundamentals teamed up with Nike to run two dynamic Saturdays of skill development clinics at the El Faro Beacon Scan Facility on 120th Street and 1st avenue. The Chain Link Fundamentals staff worked with over 500 participants over the course of the two Saturdays. The participants were middle school aged girls who are members of the DYCD/Beacon program which is spread throughout all five boroughs. From beginners to more advanced participants the gym was filled with eager participants who were given two great hours on the court featuring the dynamic warmup, skills and drills in the Chain Link station cycle and an court team building activity.\nChain Link Fundamentals will next activate during all-star weekend in Los Angeles.\nOct 21, 2010 / 2:01 pm / posted by dimemag\nChain Link Fundamentals capped the summer with a bang at the World Basketball Festival. After being led through warm-ups by the elite coaching staff, one of the best players in the world, Kobe Bryant, stopped by to assist in the instruction.\nIn the midst of the clinic, Kobe observed diligently, spoke to the kids, offered personalized advice to several of the participants.\nBryant was fantastic during this once-in-a-lifetime experience that these kids will remember for ever – likened to receiving one-on-one painting lessons from Michelangelo. After putting in hard work all summer at PS 92, learning from the 5-time champion was a fitting reward.\nAug 20, 2010 / 12:00 pm / posted by dimemag\nConverse Open Gym has provided kids all summer with the great opportunity to run full court at PS 92 in Harlem on a newly-refurbished playground, complete with glass blackboards and professional rims. Kicking off Day 3 of the World Basketball Festival, kids from the Milbank Center took to the hardwood at Rucker Park to get their run in.

This course includes:\n- 6 classroom and pool sessions\n- Scuba system used during the pool sessions\n- Unlimited amount of practice dives in our pool before your certification dives\n- 4 Open Water Certification Dives.\nUnlimited practice dive gives you as many pool sessions you want to polish your skills…ensuring you are VERY comfortable and confident when you do your Open Water certification dives. Also included are the full set of course materials, books and DVD for the academic portion of the course. When you complete your training dives you will receive a PADI Open Water Certification.\n- How Is the Course Organized? – Getting certified to scuba dive is a 3-STEP process.\n- STEP 1 is a series of 6 classes, normally held from 6-9 pm, twice a week (Mon and Wed, or Tue and Thu) for 3 consecutive weeks. We have classrooms and an indoor pool right in our facility.\n- STEP 2 is your independent practice sessions. You can schedule as many of these as you wish. They are free to our students and allow you unlimited time to practice all of the skills you learned. You will become VERY confident and relaxed after your practice session, and ready for STEP 3.\n- STEP 3 is your Open Water Certification Dives. These are a series of 4 dives done outdoors with our instructors, usually completed over 2 days. They are fun dives which allow you to gain confidence in your skills in an open water environment, while still under the supervision of our instructors. You can complete them on one of our many local diving weekends, or on one of our Caribbean trips. You can even complete them on your own vacation with a dive center at your destination.\n- How Do I Enroll? – So you can have plenty of time with your instructor, our classes are small, averaging 6 student divers. To guarantee your place in a class which meets your schedule, it’s best you enroll in person to fill out forms, pay for the course and pick up your study materials. You may also enroll over the phone and we can ship your course materials to you.\n- Where Are the Classes Held? – For your comfort and convenience, all of the classroom and pool sessions are held at our facility. Conducting all of the sessions at one location saves travel time, so you will have more time for learning and practicing.\n- What Do I Need to Provide? – If you are starting a program, all you need for the first couple of class sessions is a bathing suit and a towel – we will take care of the rest! By the 4th class, you will need to purchase your their own mask, snorkel, fins, and boots. You will need these items for your Open Water Certification dives, and we do not rent them. We encourage you to try several different styles of gear for the first class or two so you can make an educated buying decision. You’ll find it’s impossible to choose gear without trying it out first, and what better place than our pool? For all open water dives you will need to provide your own diving equipment, which you can rent from us or buy new!\n- What about buying my complete scuba system? Is the internet a good place to buy gear? – Please do not purchase any dive gear from anywhere else, especially the internet, without first consulting with us. We constantly research and test gear to ensure we carry the best brands at the best prices. Our regular prices are usually at or below internet prices, but with dive gear it’s not about price. It’s about safety, and getting the appropriate gear for the diving you’ll be doing. Diving is a gear-intensive sport. Equipping our dive students and dive community with great gear is our primary purpose, and is what pays the bills, keeps the doors (and pool) open so we can continue to introduce people to scuba and keep the dive community active and healthy. Our customers are those who support us by purchasing dive gear from us, and we work extremely hard to take care of our customers. We look forward to having a lifelong relationship with every diver, for more classes, trips, dive parties, etc. If you purchase all your gear from us, you’re automatically part of our dive community…if you buy elsewhere, it makes it almost impossible for us to take care of you…since we’re not familiar with your equipment, we can’t really advise you on how to use your gear, service your gear, or loan you gear. In addition, anyone who buys their gear from us gets to use our pool free whenever they want..for life!\nDon’t just buy gear from us because you like us,\nbuy from us because we have the best programs to benefit YOU!\n- What if my schedule doesn’t match any of the scheduled courses? – Not a problem. Since we have a pool on site, we can put together a custom private schedule for you or your group for only a $100 scheduling fee.\n- What if I have several months between my pool sessions and my Open Water dives? – All of our students get to use our pool for free for their independent practice sessions. This is to practice their skills and we encourage it. Even if you complete your pool sessions in the winter and don’t do your Open Water dives until spring, you can come in as often as you like to practice. Some students log as many as 5-20 practice sessions before their dives. This lets you get very comfortable with your skills before your Open Water dives.\n- When are the Open Water training dives scheduled? – To complete your PADI Open Water Course and Open Water certification, 4 open water training dives are scheduled over 2 days. For the Advance Open Water (AOW) certification, an additional 5 dives are scheduled over another weekend. Often you can start some of your Advanced Open Water dives the same weekend you do your Open Water dives. You can often complete all 9 dives on one of our Caribbean dive adventures! Your instructor will discuss course scheduling options during class.\n- Where Do You Dive After Certification? – Let’s face it, diving is all about traveling to fun and exotic destinations! From day trips to weekend jaunts, to 2-week adventures, we average 5-10 group trips a year!We frequently take off on our most popular long-weekend getaway trip to do training dives in the warm, crystal clear waters of Cozumel, Mexico! We also feature frequent adventures in the Caribbean, South Pacific and all points between.\nFrom April to October we are diving locally almost every other weekend at dive sites like Mermet Springs and Haigh Quarry. These are 2 of the best dive spots in the Midwest.\nWe have been leading groups of adventurous travelers all over the globe for over 20 years, and our experience allows us to provide lots of diving opportunities at a wide range of prices so everyone can participate.\nOur group trips are legendary for the fun times we provide. A dive trip is not just about diving, we always explore all of the fun things there are to do at a destination. Horseback riding, mountain biking, windsurfing, zip lining, snorkeling, exploring the countryside are all part of what makes a memorable and exciting vacation!", "domain": "hobby"}

Build reputation and earn their respect on your journey to become the ultimate icon.\nMagnus Walker. Speed.\nSpeed is the connection that exists between car and driver that is only present at top speeds. It’s about keeping your nerve and never lifting off the gas. It’s about the adrenaline rush of taking a corner at high speed, having faith that your car will hold firm and not lose grip. The fearless always push the limits.\nAlthough no single person can be credited with the rise in popularity of the air-cooled Porsche, the enigmatic 911 fanatic Magnus Walker has definitely played his part. One of the most recognisable characters in the automotive world, not just for the dreadlocks and majestic beard, but the accompanying roar of a turbocharged flat-six cylinder howling through the open exhausts of a Porsche “Widowmaker” 930 Turbo. Magnus may collect and modify classic Porsches, but he’s never been afraid to get out and push them as far as he can on the mean city streets and canyon roads of Los Angeles. – Need for Speed\nWho is Magnus Walker?\nMagnus Walker. Ce nom ne vous dit peut-être pas grand chose, peut-être ? Pourtant, cet Anglais à Los Angeles est l’un des passionnés de Porsche 911 les plus connus et respectés aux États-Unis. Complètement fou de la sportive classic de Stuttgart, il récupère des épaves et des pièces détachées pour se livrer à des travaux de restauration d’une incroyable qualité … qui ont fait de lui l’un des passionnés de Porsche 911 les plus connus et respectés aux États-Unis et dans le monde.\nPassionné de la 911 en 1977, à l’age de 10 ans, lorsque son père l’emmena à Londres, sa passion tournera à l’obsession avec l’âge avançant. Avant de pouvoir assouvir ses désirs automobiles, il a fait fortune dans le textile avec sa marque de vêtements Serious Clothing, ainsi qu’en louant ses hangars pour la télé et le tournage de clips.\nHis beanie hat hoards a mass of dreadlocks; his beard is a mixture of silver and blonde hairs. Magnus Walker is not what you’d call a typical-looking Porsche enthusiast. Sit him outside Kings Cross, and you’d be excused for handing him your spare change. Yet the self-proclaimed Urban Outlaw has shot to fame as one of the world’s most prolific Porsche collectors and something of an underground hero for anti-establishment tuning of vintage Porsche products. So how exactly does a scruffy lad from Sheffield wind up nestled in Los Angeles as an aficionado of Stuttgart’s finest?\nThe story begins back in 1977. England was an exciting place to be as a young ‘un – the Sex Pistols kicked off the punk rock movement, and a little film called Star Wars was about to spawn a whole generation of geeks. But, for Magnus, aged 10 years old, 1977 signalled a very different kind of obsession.\nHe explains in his strange amalgam of US twang and Yorkshire vowels: “It was the Earl’s Court motor show. I travelled there with my dad, and as we reached the Porsche stand, I laid eyes on a 911 painted in Martini red and blue stripes. The engine plaque read turbo, the spoiler was as tall as my head. I knew right then the Porsche 911 was my dream car.” – Magnus Walker\nMagnus was hooked. In between scrawling 911 shapes on any piece of paper he could find, he wrote a letter to Porsche HQ asking for a job – solid ambition for a 10-year-old northerner. To his surprise, they replied, thanking him for the interest and suggesting he establish contact again in a few years’ time. Sure enough, this tentative contact engaged a little thing Magnus describes as “Porsche passion”.\nUnfortunately for Walker, Sheffield in the early Eighties wasn’t exactly the place where dreams came true. By 1982 he’d dropped out of school with two O-levels to his name and no real education. About this time he also discovered drink and heavy metal music… two hobbies not exactly renowned for sparkling future prospects. Undeterred, Magnus bummed around on the dole making money exclusively to fund these new hobbies. “Cut your hair and get a proper job,” he was constantly told. By the age of 17, it was beginning to sink in, so, sure enough, he decided to get a proper job.\nOver the next years, Magnus established a business buying cheap, soulless clothing and personalising it before punting it on at a stall in Venice Beach. He’d joined the fashion industry without even trying, and now there was money for sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll. By the early Nineties, the stall had evolved into a brand nicknamed Serious Clothing, now being wholesaled in hundreds of shops and worn by stars including Madonna and Alice Cooper.\n“Serious Clothing had its own style. We were shifting a ton of merch, renting a house and a workshop to keep it going. One day it hit me – why am I paying for two peoples’ mortgages? Why don’t we get our own place? In 2000 my wife found a 24,000sq ft warehouse we now call home. It was in an undesirable place, pretty beat up, and people called us crazy. But we had this gut feeling that everything would be ok, so we ran with it.” – Magnus Walker\nBut how does this translate into the Porsche collection? Back in 1992, Magnus realised that long-held dream and bought his first Porsche, a 1974 911, which soon resulted in countless speeding fines and even being pulled over at gunpoint. A change was, inevitably, needed. Fast-forward to 2002 with both businesses ticking over, the bearded speed freak joined the Porsche Owners Club where he also drove his first track day. He was pretty handy, first obtaining his Clubsport licence and then instructing other owners.\n“I was doing nearly 50 track days a year, and the costs were getting crazy. The more serious I took it, the less fun it became. So in the mid 2000s, I sold every car I owned that wasn’t a Porsche and focused my time (and money) on obtaining the ultimate early 911 collection to fulfil my childhood dream.” – Magnus\nThe 911 styling was never intended to bring him fame. Aside from a small blog on the forum Pelican Parts, Magnus kept the collection sheltered at his workshop for his own enjoyment. But in 2012, a film director named Tamir Moscovici approached him, fed up with directing drink commercials and determined to do something more edgy. He, like Magnus, was a Porsche guy, and instantly the pair gelled. Tamir proposed the idea of a short YouTube film and, ever the optimist, Magnus replied with: “What’s the worst that could happen?” Four days of filming later, the 32-minute documentary Urban Outlaw had been created and was later shown at Sundance, to rave reviews.\n“Things blew up after that. It opened up my collection to the whole world. Within two weeks, I had a phone call from Jay Leno to be on his Garage (Leno’s car-based show). My emails exploded, my phone never stopped, it was a new chapter opening up in my life.” – Magnus\nA month after the film’s launch, Magnus noticed a letter at his workshop stamped with the Porsche logo. Unbeknown to Magnus or Tamir, Porsche had watched the film. What’s more, they loved it, and they loved him – so much so they flew him across to Stuttgart for a factory tour.\n“Opening that letter reinforced my love for Porsche. Being a Porsche guy is about loyalty and the journey. For Porsche to reach out 35 years later reinforced that brand value. I’ve been fortunate to build a working relationship with the brand I strove so hard to be a part of. I’ve been lucky, and I don’t know what the future will bring. But one thing will always remain – Porsche passion. It brought me this far, and I’m sure it will continue to take me further.”\nCitations/Quotes via topgear.com Who is Magnus Walker?\nWho is Magnus Walker?

He’s in the Game\n1971 Porsche 911\nMagnus Walker’s 1971 Porsche 911 is a true classic, but it’s far from being a precious show pony; this car gets used and abused in the best way possible. The ‘277’, as it is commonly known, is a raw, visceral, canyon-carving screamer that strikes a perfect balance between weight, handling, braking and power. This naturally-aspirated boxer-powered street brawler has seen its fair share of battles and the scrapes, chipped paint and blemishes show it. If ever there was a perfect car to represent its owner, the howling 277 is it.\n“I’m super excited to be in the new NFS – need for speed video game along with my favorite car #277” – Magnus Walker\nKen Block. Style.\nStyle is pure expression through driving, sending your car into a corner sideways with ultimate precision. It’s the feeling of freedom for that split second as your tires leave the ground, when you find yourself in a place where only you and the car exist. For some, style is all that matters.\nKen Block might just be the undisputed king of the internet and has quickly become one of the most recognisable faces and names in the automotive game. Years of driving in top-tier rally, X-Games competitions and his famous Gymkhana videos watched by hundreds of millions of people around the world have honed his skills behind the wheel. Few, if any, can match his ability to throw a flame-belching car sideways with such incredible precision. In a realm where an inch can mean the difference between worldwide fame or global ridicule, Block rules the streets. – Need for Speed\nWho is Ken Block?\nNo one can get America more excited about non-NASCAR motorsports than Ken Block. Although he’s pretty good at rally racing (in its latest stadium-and-social-media-friendly incarnation, Global Rally Cross), he’s even better at promoting it and his auto/outlaw image. Block’s annual stuntastic Gymkhana mini-features are as close to guaranteed viral as they come. Why? The driving, for sure, but the machines he jumps into are simply incredible, including his latest, an 850-horsepower AWD 1965 Mustang. – motortrend.com via The 2015 Power List – 50 Leaders, Thinkers, and Agitators Shaping the Auto Industry\nWho is Ken Block?

This “background noise” will make your job of capturing the crowd’s attention all the harder, adding to the already stressful situation of performing standup comedy for the first time.\nFor live standup comedy to work, it must be done in a properly structured environment.\nOur shows are held in separate “dedicated” rooms that are distraction-free and filled with focused , behaved audience who are there specifically to see comedy, so they won’t be chatting away only paying half-attention.\nThere are many other open mic amateur nights in the DMV area, but ours are the best. Ask any veteran comic in the DC area and they’ll tell you our shows are the “best rooms in town” for a newbie trying standup comedy for the first time.\nIf you do well at our weekly “public” shows, we’ll use you for our paid private party gigs that pop up randomly throughout the year.", "domain": "hobby"}

Do you also love to save money? If you answered yes to either of these questions, then grab a few easy ingredients and put your DIY skills to use to make this oh-so-easy air freshener that contains one secret ingredient.\nMany of us use Febreze to banish odors from our homes. With kids, pets, and not a lot of free time, it can be a lifesaver for freshening up, but the cost can really add up. One enterprising woman named Jen found a way to make her own air freshener that smells a million times better than Febreze, lasts just as long and costs a fraction of the price.\nAre you ready for the secret ingredient? It’s Downy Unstopables! Relatively new to the market, this product is made up of tiny beads of fabric softener designed to dissolve in the washing machine and make your clothes smell fantastic. Luckily, Jen figured out a way to turn the beads into a homemade air freshener than costs just 60 cents per bottle. Here’s how to make it:\nGather a quarter of a cup of Downy Unstopables (it’s available in different fragrances), four tablespoons of baking soda, eight ounces of boiling water, a funnel and a clean, empty spray bottle.\nBegin by combining the beads and baking soda in a bowl. Pour the boiling water on top of the mixture and stir to combine. Wait until the beads have completely dissolved before moving on to the next step. It could take up to 30 minutes for the beads to dissolve. Place the funnel in the spray bottle and carefully pour in the liquid.\nThere you have it! An easy, inexpensive, incredibly wonderful smelling air freshener that is safe to use all around your home. Use it on carpets, furniture, pet bedding, drapes, or anywhere else that needs a bit of freshening. Enjoy!", "domain": "hobby"}

Early in my career I approached Haynes with the suggestion that there was space in the market for a book providing advice for young drivers starting out in motor racing. This title was the result.\nMy book writing\nMotor racing, whether approached as a sport or business, is complicated. Getting into a position to win races depends on many factors other than the driver’s ability. This means young drivers setting out in the sport have a lot to learn, and quickly, because roaring around in circles is very expensive. There are a number of entry-level single-seater formulae for drivers to choose from, but when this book was written Formula Ford was the universal choice.\nOver the course of 128 pages and 36,000-words, my book drew on the wisdom and comments of specialist experts. After explaining the background and concept of Formula Ford as a relatively affordable route into motor racing, the book discusses how to target and retain the support of sponsors; the costs of racing and what to budget for during a season; the author’s first-hand experience of spending 10 days at a racing drivers’ school; setting-up a car and refining driving technique for optimum performance; the UK’s top ten circuits and how to drive them; Formula Ford design, with a chapter written by highly reputed racing car designer Adrian Reynard; and the various Formula Ford manufacturers, their backgrounds and philosophies. Appendices include a business directory providing useful contacts.\nIn the years since writing this book, it has been an occasional but delightful pleasure to be told by racing drivers that they read it as part of their induction into the sport.", "domain": "hobby"}

Do I need to be able to read music?\nNo. A minority of current members can read music – although all have developed good “sight reading” skills.\n2. Is there a voice test for new members?\nOur Musical Director, Meryn Williams, will ask you to sing – in private – to determine which section of the choir your voice is best suited to. You will then sing with that section with the support of a “buddy” who is an experienced member of the section.\n3. Are there “vacancies” in each section of the choir?\nOur only restriction is that we need to have a balance across the four sections – Top Tenor, 2nd Tenor, Baritone and Bass – to produce the best sound. We have more Baritones than members in other sections at present and our “balance” is only likely to be an issue if all new recruits are Baritones.\n4. How many members are there at present – and is there a “target” number ?\nWe have a maximum of 13 members performing currently. Subject to the “balance” referred to in Q3 we are happy to recruit to a maximum of 20 members.\n5. Do you have to be a fluent Welsh speaker?\nNo. We have a number of Welsh language songs and hymns in our repertoire but currently only two fluent Welsh speakers. New members are supported by existing members in learning our repertoire.\n6. Is there a Subscription for membership?\nMembers currently pay £12.50 per month ( approx. £3 per week ). New members do not pay a subscription until they have been members for 3 months.\n7. How often do Hims and Arias perform – and to what sort of audiences?\nWe are keen to support the local community and sing at Care and Nursing Homes , at Charity Fund Raising events – and at Weddings, Dinners and Celebrations. Performances average out over the year at 15 – 20. Our Musical Director (MD), Meryn is also MD of Vocelle, a ladies choir, and we perform three or four times a year with Vocelle.\n8. When and where does the choir practice?\nOur current practice night is a Sunday evening from 7.30 to 9.00p.m. We practice at Llanharry Church Hall. If we are preparing for a major concert we occasionally rehearse on a Thursday evening in addition to Sundays.\n9. Do I have to live in a particular “catchment area” to join Hims and Arias?\nNo. Our current members all live in the CF72 Postcode area but we welcome all new members who are able to regularly attend practices.\n10. What is the age range of current members?\nWe have more members in their 50’s than any other age category, with our oldest members being in their 70’s. Our youngest member at the moment is 40.", "domain": "hobby"}

The wine is the product of an attempt to produce a wine with zero additions in the winery. The wine also demonstrates learnings from our long history of working with Grenache. The estate grown Grenache was harvested from some of the oldest vines in Western Australia. 2016 was a difficult vintage, resulting in the early harvest of the variety in an attempt to maintain freshness. Tempranillo and Malvasia were purchased from a nearby vineyard that I had recently discovered. These two varieties had been grafted onto very old Shiraz rootstock, over a soil type that is very similar to our estate vineyard. This gave us the confidence that this unusual blend would be synergistic.\nPrevious Grenache-based wines were produced in the Burgundian method – cold soak, some whole bunches etc. This time around, we made a conscious effort to get the primary fermentation going as quickly as possible, so as not to extract the woodier notes that our estate vineyard can sometimes produce. This was achieved by crushing all three varieties together and inoculating the must with a pied du cuvee – a foot stomped bucket of grapes that I had harvested a week earlier. The wine was pressed off skins after only five days and fermentation finished in french oak puncheons.\nPhone Orders - Call Bree 0450 648 918", "domain": "hobby"}

When you freshly grind the beans, it makes for a much smoother brew. That's when I purchased this awesome machine.

Very appropriate for slower songs such as ballads and love songs -- it creates an emotion all its own. Use open-voiced arpeggios and 4-note straddles for the fullest and best sounds.\nPiano Tip #2: Use crunches.\nInstead of just playing a chord, roll the notes down from the top quickly to create an effect. You can do this on any chord, but do it sparingly -- certainly not all the time.\nPiano Tip #3: Use \"implied blue notes\".\nYou know what a blue note is -- the flat 3rd, 5th, or 7th of any scale (used in the blues and jazz, etc.). Instead of striking the blue note, just slide off it quickly as you play a note or a chord. It gives a slightly \"bluesy\" effect without being obvious.\nPiano Tip #4: Use a tri-tone chord substitution.\nInstead of moving from a V7 chord to a I chord, do a half-step slide by playing the 7th chord 1/2 step above the target chord (the I chord). You'll notice that the 3rd of the V7 chord becomes the 7th of the substitute chord, while the 7th of the V7 chord becomes the 3rd of the substitute chord. (For an explanation of the mysterious tri-tone, click here).\nPiano Tip #5: Use Walk-Ups in your left hand in octaves. Anytime a chord progression moves up a 4th, you can use a walk up. For example, if you see a chord progression like this: G7 C Since C is 4 scales notes above G, you can walk up the G scale in octaves until you play C. If the chord progression is F7 Bb, then you would walk up the F scale until you came to Bb. Anytime a chord progression moves up a 4th, you can use a walk up. For example, if you see a chord progression like this: G7 C Since C is 4 scales notes above G, you can walk up the G scale in octaves until you play C. If the chord progression is F7 Bb, then you would walk up the F scale until you came to Bb.\nPiano Tip #6: Use Walk-Downs in your left hand in octaves.\nThis is just the reverse of the last tip, except you walk down a scale 5 notes instead of 4. For example if the chord progression is G7 C , you would play G - F - E - D - C in your left hand in octaves.\nPiano Tip #7: Add one or more \"color tones\" to some of your chords\n. Instead of playing a plain old vanila C chord, why not add some color to it by including a 6th or a major 7th or a major 9th? It will add flavor to any triad, and make your piano sound more unique and interesting. (But don't overdue it -- just as you can add too much salt to your meal and ruin it, you can overuse color tones too.)\nPiano Tip #8: Add some \"passing tones\" to your songs.\nPassing tones are non-chordal tones such as 7ths and 9ths and 6ths that \"pass through\" the harmony of the song, creating movement. They create movement and interest and help move the song down the tracks. (If you don't know how to create passing tones, check out\n\"How To Create Passing Tones To Add Interest & Motion To Your Songs\"\nPiano Tip #9: Start playing in public as soon as you can.\nYou will probably protest \"But I'm not ready yet!\" just like I did when I got started. And of course, you are probably correct -- you may not be ready yet. But by playing in public you will advance so much faster than if you just always play for yourself. There is something about knowing other people are listening that motivates a person to improve rapidly. I had several very embarrasing experiences when I was just getting started, but I wouldn't trade them now for anything because those experiences got me in gear to figure out what I was doing wrong in a hurry. So get in a group, play for church, play at a retirement home -- anywhere, but just get started.\nPiano Tip #10: Play along with your favorite artists.\nI used to do this by the hour and it really paid off for me. I remember back in high school days I was in a practice room \"playing\" the piano along with a record (we didn't have CDs or IPODs then) of Erroll Garner playing \"Misty\". What I was doing was imitating the sounds I heard as best I could, but my playing sounded more like a trash can being emptied than it did music. Don, a friend of mine and also a piano player, came in the room and said \"Shinn -- what in the world do you think you're doing?\" -- and I didn't blame him -- it sounded terrible. But you know what? After a couple solid years of doing that, I got the hang of it and my playing actually started to resemble the records I had been playing along with. It's hard work, but it's fun, and there are big rewards down the road if you hang in there.\nIn case you just discovered this page accidentally and like what you see, sign up for our free newsletter below.", "domain": "hobby"}

The zodiac charm discussed here has the animals displayed on one side. The other side has a Chinese inscription and symbols including several swastikas.\nThe visitor’s story is so interesting that I am going to let him speak for himself:\n“Actually my interest in zodiac charms has appeared because I have one. One great archaeologist gifted it to my grandfather many years ago. It was found around 1940-1950 in the Southern Kazakhstan. Photos of mine charm are attached to this mail. It’s size is 43 mm in diameter, 2mm – thickness. It is made of bronze.\n“Our national institute of archeology have carefully viewed this charm and have stated that it’s age seems to be about 1st. century BCE. As I’ve discovered from your web site, it was the period of occurrence of such kind of charms (Han Dynasty), and the rise of popularity of them was few ages later till Ming Dynasty.\n“One interesting thing about my charm is that the statements in Chinese on the front side of it are translated as follows: “The first one”, “The honorable”, “The noble”, or “I’m the noble”, “I’m the first”, “I’m the honorable”. Our scientists say, that it is possible, that this charm was owned by some powerful person, or family chief, etc. As it was stated on your web site, there were a great numbers of charms, depicting different purposes: for good luck, for marriage, for some other purposes. Basing on such type of categories, I’m concluding, that my charm appears to be the charm of “power”, or the charm of “gentility”. Did you ever hear about charms of “power” or “gentility”?\n“As you’ve quoted, the practical reason of the square holes in charms is that they were put on the square metal rod to remove the extra metal on the rim of the coins. By isn’t is a technological development for cutting the extra metal? I mean that maybe first coins and charms didn’t have any square holes, and only after technological development, the holes appeared as we can see them? This hypothesis corresponds to the age of my charm – 1 st. century BCE, when the process of making metal coins and charms was just developing, so that’s why my charm doesn’t have any square holes. What do you think of it? Or I might be mistaken?”\nThe pertinent parts of my reply follow:\n“None of my Chinese reference books discuss any charm quite like yours. It may very well have originated in the ancient lands of Kazakhstan and therefore have distinctive characteristics particular to that region of the world.\n“I am not familiar with charms of “power”. However, there were tallies, such as the famous “tiger tallies”, used in ancient China as symbols of authority. Perhaps your charm had a similar purpose.\n“The very first Chinese money did not have holes in the middle. In fact, they were not even round and did not resemble coins as we know them. They were based on implements such as shovels and knives.\n“I should have mentioned in my first message that another reason ancient Chinese coins had a hole in the center was that their value was fairly low (especially compared to gold, silver and jade) and to make purchases a person needed to use many coins. The hole in the middle facilitated carrying the coins because the coins could be placed on a string. A typical “string” of cash coins might have 100 or 1,000 coins.\n“Early charms tended to be modeled after coins and therefore most had a square or round hole in the center. The charm could be worn around the neck as a necklace or hung from the waist. However, there was no need to carry a large number of charms on a string so, unlike coins, the hole in the center was not really needed. As is the case with your charm, a number of charms were made as pendants to be worn.\n“This is the practical reason why most Chinese coins and charms have square holes.\n“There is a philosophical reason for the square hole as well. The Chinese believed that heaven was a “circle” and the earth was a “square”.\n“Thank you again for providing the background and images of your zodiac charm. It is a real treasure.”", "domain": "hobby"}
