Careys Civil Engineering was principal contractor on this project, which encompassed the remediation and refurbishment of 67,000m2 of the existing hard standings at one of Sainsbury’s largest distribution centres. Works on-site included the breaking out of the old sub-base and stabilised material, which was subsequently crushed on-site and re-engineered into the capping layer before laying and compacting the sub-base layer. The replacement 230mm reinforced concrete slabs were then cast in sections across the site, with the new land drains installed following the removal of the existing surface water drainage. Once on-site, our team re-programmed the work to accelerate the original 136 week programme and successfully completed the contract 40 weeks ahead of schedule.
The concrete slab that was removed was crushed on site and recycled to be used as a 6F2 capping layer beneath the new slab, which was founded on a layer of cement bound material (CBM). We also constructed a new filter drainage system which helped dewater the site of existing ground water.
Sainsbury’s distribution centre remained operational at all times and we maintained daily communication with the client to ensure there was no disruption to the 300 deliveries utilising the site. In addition to this, the project provided significant logistics challenges with materials/arisings areas located in front of “bays not in use”, being progressively moved throughout contract to correspond with construction phases.
All materials were transported from storage areas to the work areas by dumper/pick up with the exception of reinforcement mesh which was slung from excavators by chain and transported to the work area with banksmen escorts. A Heras fence opened as required for vehicle access, but remained closed at all other times.
The project was completed to a fast-tracked 84 week programme and delivered in just 52 weeks, over 30 weeks early, all whilst keeping the busy distribution centre fully operational. Whilst on site, the team won a number of client site safety awards, as well as a Smartwaste Award in the category of best large refurbishment project. The team also got involved in a number of charity events, including a sponsored truck pull.

Is Small Talk a Big Deal for You?
Communication plays a huge role in our life: it helps to learn things, share opinions, set connections etc. One of the well-known communication tools is a small talk. It is commonly used in business, corporate communication, at college and even parties. However, some people take small talks as a painful experience while others consider them useless and boring. Check out our hints on why you should think about making small talk your habit and how to participate in it correctly.
Breaking the ice. These are the small talks which usually break the ice among strangers. Typically, it is quite difficult to find common topics of interests for different people who do not know each other. This is why you need to consider starting conversation just about weather, news, or any other things that are going on around.
It is a nice move. Showing that you are friendly and opened to others will benefit the way you will be treated in this community. When addressing other people warmly, you will show your interest in them and demonstrate that they are important to you.
Making new connections. A small talk can be a beginning of a big friendship. You cannot get acquainted with a person without talking to them.
Remember that every person from all over the world likes being addressed by their names. Although people’s names are in the Top-10 list of things we tend to forget, do your best to remember the person’s name when he or she is being introduced to you. It is a good form to address the person by their names in a future conversation, so your interlocutor will certainly be pleased.
You should take into account that people in different countries, places and companies greet each other differently. It can be a hug, handshake, or a kiss. However, you need to know the rules and traditions in order not to make people embarrassed.
Some of us have worse communication skills than others. For such people, small talks “homework” is necessary. In order not to be scared to talk to the strangers and to know what you should ask or tell to them, you have to learn the topics to talk about in advance and try to have similar conversations at home with the members of your family or your friends.
There are different types of questions but, in general, we can divide them into 2 groups: those that can be answered with just “yes” or “no”, and the others that will require the full answer from the person. If you do not want that your talk to appear to be too small and to finish in just 30 seconds, try to ask the questions which will provoke your companion to tell more than just one word or a sentence.
Do not be afraid of silence.
In some cases, there will be silent gaps in your talk and you should not take them as something unnatural. It is much better to make a pause instead of filling it in with unnecessary words.
Facial expressions, gestures and postures of the interlocutors can have a very significant influence on the way their conversation goes. Remember that friendliness and openness are your two main trumps in the game of small talk. So, your words and even intonations will not be enough to make them serve you successfully if you are not smiling or if your arms are crossed.
The distance between you and the person you are talking to also indicates how good your conversation is: if you and your new acquaintance are keeping quite close to each other (though still it is not worth approaching him or her too closely as he/she or you may just feel uncomfortable), it means that the conversation is positive and you both are interested it its continuation.
Besides, paying attention to the gestures and posture of your interlocutor, you can understand whether he/she would like to keep the ball rolling or you should switch to another topic as soon as possible.
Remember the rule of 20 seconds.
Mark Goulston, who is one of the most prominent psychologists of the 21st century, has come up with the so-called Traffic Light Rule. It is claimed to be suitable for different types of conversations and can help to involve many people into any discussion.
The main principle of this rule is that a speaker has 20 seconds to express his/her opinion or share the news. That is to say, he or she has green light to speak up. During the next 20 seconds, which are considered as the yellow light of the talk, the speaker can still continue the monologue but he/she should remember that his/her time is running out. So, in total, you have about 40 seconds to say what you want. Metaphorically speaking, when your time is over and your light is red, another person joins the conversation and their 40 seconds begin to tick-tock.
erlocutors to express their thoughts concisely.
There is an impressive number of small talk rules that can help you avoid some embarrassing situations not only by explaining what you should do and why you should do this, but also by pointing out what you should never say or do under any circumstances. You see, when there are some tips that can hint you at only what you need to stick to, you forget about things that are highly undesirable for a smooth conversation. You may inadvertently ask an inappropriate question or make a rude gesture, which can gradually or immediately but destroy everything you have created during the whole evening or whenever your small talk is taking place.
Below you will discover a few handy recommendations for making your every talk polite, sensible and just really nice to remember.
Probably, you have notices that when you are trying to talk and text to two different people at the same time, you usually fail to talk. The thing your companion will definitely dislike most of all is not you giving absolutely irrelevant answers, but you paying absolutely no attention to what he or she is telling you. This can be evaluated as your unwillingness to communicate with this particular person, and hence will offend them.
So, in case you are waiting for an important message to answer, or the message you have already got is really important, you should explain it to the person you are talking to and apologize that you are not listening carefully to him or her at the moment. In any other cases set the mute mode for notifications and do not check them while you are having a conversation. That is it.
These are politics, religion and relationships (especially intimate ones). Unless you all are guys who support one and the same political party, practice one and the same religion and are very close relatives, you should never raise any of these three subjects. If you see your interlocutor for the first time in your life, you can never predict his or her reaction to your opinion.
On the other hand, in case the question containing an obvious provocation is addressed to you, you should answer it politely and smartly, so that your response did not become the reason for a quarrel and did not hurt anybody’s feelings and beliefs.
It is okay to ask what your new acquaintance did last Sunday when the exhibition of your favorite artist opened at the local museum. But the question about why he/she does not like this artist (or, what is even worse, how it can be that they have never heard about this person) is not very appropriate actually.
Although some sources do advise to say compliments even when you are talking to this or that person for the first time, we recommend that you should not do this. Your friendly and optimistic tone, some common topics and polite ease will be absolutely enough to enjoy your time without compliments which can be regarded as envy or something like that.
Even if your major is English language and literature and even if you have a doctoral degree in it. Not all, or it would be better to say almost no people can stand criticism, even when it concerns their speech. If your interlocutor is either a shy or simply a well-mannered person, they will just thank you and continue talking. However, it is very likely that they will try to finish the conversation with you and just go away.
On the other hand, you may face someone as sharp-tongued as you, whose retort to your criticism will make you feel rather embarrassed. So, just let your small talk flow smoothly. Remember that to err is human.
Bet, you do not like it when people talk too much about their life problems or, on the contrary, boast of their success. That is why you should never turn into such kind of interlocutor. Of course, you can and even must share some facts of your personal life even with someone you see for the first (and, maybe, the last) time. This can make your small talk a little bit warmer and therefore more comfortable, because usually, when one participant of the conversation touches on some personal issue, other people also add something of this kind. Anyway, you should dose such information wisely and remember about the Traffic Light Rule.

In Internet Explorer 5 go to Tools , Internet Options, then choose the Security Folder.
From there, choose the Custom level option. Go down the list, find the Cookies bullet with the yellow(!) symbol. As you can see, the default Cookies settings is to Always accept Cookies So you just on click on the Disable all cookies use option. Or you may choose to simply put the settings on HIGH, but I strongly recommand you go through the Custom Level option instead.
select View+Internet Options and click the Advanced folder.There, scroll down and look for Cookies ! symbol. As you can see the default option is to Accept all Cookies. They dont even ask you! So you choose the Disable all cookie use bulletoption. then click on Apply.
all you can do is select the Warn before accepting cookies option.
In Netscape3, select Options+Network Preferences , click the Protocols tab section under Network Preferences , and in the Show an Alert Before box check Accepting a Cookie.
1. For Netscape, look for the cookies folder in Netscape folder under USERS and manually delete the folder.
2. Cleaning Internet Explorer Browser's Cookies is a bit thougher. The IE's Cookie folder is in C:\Windows\Cookes\ . If you try deleting that folder, Windows will put it's foot down and will NOT let you.
NOTE* Here is a simple trick i learned which is another way to deal with cookies. From the START button on your task bar go to FIND, and look for "cookies.txt". Open the file in Notepad. Empty it. saved it as a blank file. Change properties to "READ ONLY" by . Set your Netscape to accept cookies. That's it! A low-budget Cookie Crusher. The cookie readers on homepages will see a blank file and assume you're always a witless newbie and try to write to an unwriteable file. Their cookies can't write to a "READ ONLY" file, so the process is endlessly repeated. If you cannot find the cookie file, use the search application inside your start key, search for Cookies.txt in your C drive. If that doesn't work, try "*.txt".
The best way to eliminate once for all all cookies is to create a directory cookies.txt inside Netscape's directory (where the file cookies.txt originally is). This directory will get a GREATER priority than the file, and all cookies will be therefore sent to dev null. Once you have created the new cookies.txt directory you may quietly reset "Options"/ "Network Pferences"/"protocols"/"show an alert before accepting a cookie" to NO, the sites you visit will "believe" that they planted cookies in your hardisk and you will know that no cookie whatsoever has been planted.
Or you can get either Windows Washer or Evidence Eliminator and let thewm clean the clloikes for you. An even better idea is to get @Guard and make it refuse all cookies too..

Can you help? American army troops have lost control of a prisoner.
Oh golly! I can dream can't I? We are waiting for the day when the MSM just can't control the flood waters any longer and the dam breaks. Just like Watergate which started as a tiny story deep in the WaPo and finally worked its way into rapid-fire Nixon-busting stories that finally brought public awareness into the mix.
Wow --- while I was composing my response to MrBlueSky (and taking a break) you guys jumped in with even more links! Bless you all.
WP --- is there any way for us Brad Villagers to know how the fundraising is going?
Has anybody heard from Clint Curtis today --- did his area fare well during Dennis the Menace (my pet name for the hurricane) ??
We've had nasty weather from Dennis' bands where I live --- lots of wind and flooding. My particular area hasn't flooded and we didn't sustain any wind damage, but they say the rain isn't through with us yet. In fact, we've had rain almost every day through the entire summer --- we're just soggy while other places are starved for some rain. I expect we'll experience our share of drought later in the summer --- as usual. It's either feast or famine.
When will Clint pick the name for his new puppy?
I want to thank my brother Steve for his tireless work on the Blogathon. He asked for my help with some of the guest bloggers. Little did I know that I would have the privilege of speaking on the phone with the likes of Clint Curtis and David Cobb. This was actually my first exposure to the blog, and now I have full appreciation for my brother's passion. Thanks to all who participated. I love you Steve. Get some well-deserved sleep!
Hi Jan, welcome to the Blog! Wow - how nice of you to help out and what an excellent experience you had actually speaking with such important people to our cause. I hope you'll be a regular here.
Steve has done so much work on this Blogathon and I know he must need some extra rest. Bless you both. And thanks!!
Just getting around to this and need your help... Please kick the following DU threads when ya get a chance.

Release 158: Even more PORTALS!
This release reworks the configuration of the Portal rendering to allow more ports to be open simultaneously.
Adding in 3rd person spanner and beacon plotter animations to the playable character.
Fix for totem accepting an iron slingbow as ammo.
Fix for placing 2 slabs together of different types/colours.
Considering the Y coordinate in the compass creature position visualisation.
Fix sudden stop in cuttletrunk death animation during its fall.
Added new compass entry when the creature is dead and the player haven’t picked up the drop items.
Improved the compass entries management to give more priority to the entries in front of the players.
Improvements to active portal logics. There should no longer be issues with a portal not opening purely because there are other portals nearby, and it should never be the case that you cannot get a portal to activate because of there being other portals nearby. We now allow more portals to become active, with draw distance / terrain-detail levels being dynamically scaled down as more portals become active.
Reduce the amount of websocket data received by ~3x.
The following items were known issues in previous releases and have now been resolved.
Cannot click left arrow on various game options.
The following items are known issues in this release.
Assigning both mouse buttons to ‘Use Left Hand Option’ will disable the left mouse button.
Cannot close Inventory when Chat is used.
Cannot sell some items even if the tint matches on a Buying Plinth.
[new] Game displays welcome message for a world through a portal without going through it.
Item placed into buying plinth will disappear when placing the same item into storage.
Item wanted is completely different to what was placed there before on the buying plinth.
[new] Menus may constantly reappear on screen after closing them.
Opening or closing doors and trapdoors when standing too close to them will restrict player movement. To get out of the situation, interact with the door or trapdoor again.
[new] Portal Configuration menu does not show correct planet name when using the appropriate portal token.
Portal UI text overflows when the portal token name is very long.
Smart stack icon does not have the same tint as the items within the smart stack itself.
Some menu options are cut off at the top and bottom.
Speech bubbles may still be displayed above players after going through portals.
• [new] Game displays welcome message for a world through a portal without going through it.
It’s a pretty useful for portal searching in unknown settlements. Could you replace it by new compass markers with high priority?
Could you replace it by new compass markers with high priority?
I would hope that in-sandbox signs are a better solution that out-of-sandbox HUD features.
• Fix for totem accepting an iron slingbow as ammo.

from Image::writePNG. I think the endInfo creation in writePNG is in there because it was copied from PNGDecoder::loadStream which uses endInfo as apart of png_destroy_read_struct(&pngPtr, &infoPtr, &endInfo); in line 242. Since endInfo is not used in writePNG it can probably be removed.
Actually loadStream doesn't use endInfo either. It could be used by passing it to png_read_end, but this isn't done.
I don't know what adding it to png_read_end would do, png_read_end is currently passing in NULL and endInfo isn't NULL, line 126.
Thanks for your help finding and fixing this! A patch for this issue has been added in commit 194984de2f8deca747b20e646cda9d54705f1723 and will be available in daily builds 1.10.0git-4974 and higher.

If you’re looking for a 2019 smartphone “big bet,” then you could do worse than considering 3D cameras. According to a new Bloomberg report, tech giant Sony Corp is ramping up production of 3D sensors to satisfy what it believes will be an increased demand for the parts going into 2019.
The global smartphone industry is in dire need of some new technology or a large boost to actually restore consumer demand and investor faith. Everyone is walking around with a smartphone, but with prices raising and technology stagnating, there really needs to be some serious innovation within the next few years to once again inject some fresh excitement into the market. As most companies know and understand, it’s becoming more and more difficult to expect customers to upgrade or change devices on a 12-month cycle when each new device simply offers very small iteration over the previous model.
Sony is placing a lot of importance on 3D camera models and is already operating its sensor division at a profit according to Satoshi Yoshihara, who currently operates as head of that particular part of Sony’s business. Production of those sensors has been ramped up internally to try and match what it feels is increased business demand from Apple and other companies heading into 2019. In addition to ramping up production efforts and actually providing the physical hardware, Sony is also pulling together software toolkits that will give companies the ability to play with the hardware and generate 3D imagery to see how the technology could be used in specific areas and how it can be integrated into other software and services.
Companies like Apple have almost relied on improvements in camera technology in recent years to try and push their devices as being premium and worthy of the increased sales price. Apple’s TrueDepth camera system, which opened up the possibility of Face ID, is a perfect example of this innovation but it seems that 2019 could be the year that things are taken to the next level. Sony is already positioning itself to be at the forefront of that camera tech boom but it will also face competition from the likes of Lumentum Holdings Inc. and STMicroelectronics NV.
Satoshi Yoshihara believes that the most important thing in 2019 will be attempting to get people excited once again about smartphones. Where do you stand on the subject? Will 3D cameras and advanced imagery reignite your excitement and passion for your smartphone?

When it became clear that Bronwyn and I were indeed supposed to be seriously praying about a change in our lives I chose Isaiah 43 to be the chapter we would read through every day during quiet times. To be honest I picked it quite arbitrary, there was a song with the words from that chapter I used to sing very loudly back in my Camp Lake Stephens days when I was a camp counselor in Mississippi. So we started praying through it, sometimes together and other times separate. This was still kind of the beginning of all this and we had no idea what God had in store for us but we just kept praying. Isaiah 43 has some amazing verses in it if you haven’t read it. “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name you are mine”, are right there in verse 1. All the next stuff about God being with you when you pass through the water and fire is also pretty amazing. However the verses that were really playing in my head were 19 & 20.
“Behold I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. The wild beast will honor me, and the jackals and the ostriches, for I give water in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my chosen people.”.
Now keep in mind this is before we had ever even heard of BlueSky or thought at all about moving to Africa but it’s all there beautifully written. God laying out His plan for us, doing a new thing where wild beast roam, bringing water to the desert. On March 29th when Bronwyn first sent me the text “wanna move to Kenya” I didn’t immediately have these verses pop into my head but on March 30th I did write “I’ve gone in 24 hours from being willing to go to Kenya to wanting to go”. I went back to the verses in Isaiah 43 and God put the picture together. He was calling us out of Memphis and to Nairobi to serve him in a new and awesome way. We were to bring the good news of living water to Africa. But the story of Isaiah 43 doesn’t end there. I mean sure I could talk about how Cush is essentially East Africa or dwell on verse 25 where the author talks about God blotting out sins for his own sake, something Bronwyn and I knew we needed to be reminded of. But the big part of the story was April 30th when our Church, Fellowship Memphis, was teaching on Global Missions of all things and what chapter should Jason Cook teach from but Isaiah 43. I literally shut my bible and just sat there in awe knowing full well we were moving to Africa.

The direct translation of ‘civet’ is simply ‘stew’, however in a more culinary sense civet generally refers to a wild game stew made from rabbit, hare, venison or boar, thickened with the animal’s own blood and traditionally served with small onions.
The name is derived from the French word ‘cive’ – spring onion – a traditional garnish.
1 Remove any sinews from the John Dory and trim the edges. Cut each fillet into three even portions, then cut each portion in half to yield 12 pieces in total. Set aside.
2 Open the oysters, and remove them from their shells, taking care to retain all the juices. Rinse the clams.
3 Put 500 ml of the clam stock into a pan and warm gently to just below a simmer. Keep warm while you poach the seafood.
4 Put the rest of the clam stock into a large, heavy-based pan, bring to a simmer and add the clams. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and simmer gently for 2 minutes until the shells begin to open. Remove the lid from the pan and lower the heat.
5 Season the John Dory fillets lightly with salt and pepper and place them in the pan on top of the clams.
6 Poach gently, uncovered, for 2 minutes, then turn the fillets over. Add the pasta bows and swirl the pan gently to mix them in.
7 Cook for a further minute to warm through. Add the seaweed and oysters to the pan and poach for 30 seconds. Turn the oysters and poach for a further 30 seconds.
8 Add the reserved oyster juices and chives and season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice.
9 Use a hand-blender to whisk the reserved clam stock for 10–15 seconds to a frothy foam.
10 To serve, divide the civet evenly between 6 warm serving bowls, making sure that each person has 2 fillets of John Dory. Spoon on the foaming sauce and serve immediately.

So, funny story. I didn't actually meet Kimberly and Andrew until the actual day of their wedding. I normally try not to do this, especially if my couples are local. Their original photographer fell and broke her ankle the night before and could not possibly photograph their wedding. Thankfully, I was available and met the sweetest bride and groom ever on their wedding day. After talking with Kimberly after she received her wedding images, I am totally taken aback by how much she and her husband adored them. This is what makes my heart sing and makes for one grateful photographer.
Kimberly and Andrew tied the knot at the beautiful 305 Trackside venue located in downtown Southern Pines. I have to admit, this was one of our first times in the area and I am pretty positive Jason and I fell in love with all things the area had to offer! With the bustling downtown area with pockets of gorgeous art, the Sunrise Theater with it's old school flare, and such a pretty little train depot that sat right in the middle of the town square, the area was perfect and had all of the ingredients for a beautiful wedding night.
The couple wanted to tie the knot later in the night. With a 7pm ceremony, it gave us some out of this world portrait time right before the festivities began. Can you say golden hour sunsets?! I was one happy wedding photographer!
The ceremony itself, which was had inside 305 Trackside with its gorgeous wood decor and delicate light fixtures, was the perfect match for Kimberly and Andrews wedding. The decor that was set up to really make this venue unique to the couple matched so well, especially with the photos that were strategically placed around the venue. These are the little details that matter, and it shown so well to every single guest that celebrated with them.
My favorite part of the night? The first dances. The dance with the bride and groom was so emotional and I honestly felt honored to even be a part of their day. The father and daughter dance was especially sweet, and the mother and son dance pulled at my heart strings. What a fun and sweet wedding to be a part of! Love to all of you!

The old woman stumbles so close to the driver-side door that she paints overcast clouds with her hot breath up and down its window.
Sales are down at the lot and I’m down, too—real down-in-the-dumps lately. But today a true pushover has serendipitously arrived in an olive-tone floral-patterned dress, a color to match her complexion. The dress could double as circus tent. Mrs. Quintana is sizable; she’ll soon fill the driver seat of the sedan that she’s peering into, and fill it amply. Also, from what I gather, she’s an honest, earnest woman, who’s worn a brave face of late. Her husband died a year ago this week. She’s volunteered such information within the past hour.
“Wanna take it for another spin?” I ask.
She’s setting herself up to be swindled. The sticker means nothing. It’s a used car she wants to buy, not one of our new ones. A “previously owned vehicle” is the more euphemistic term we use for it. The odometer somehow reads a hair below 42,000 miles, but my gut tells me this thing will be in and out of repair shops for ever more.
“I’ll see what I can do. But he ain’t crazy,” I tell her, as I head into the showroom and toward the offices.
Minutes later I’m going through the ritual, standing on cold linoleum tile and leaning against the faux woodgrain paneling in my boss’s office, smoking another cigarette down to its nub. Hazeltine isn’t here. He’s out and about somewhere. Word is he split a half-hour ago and won’t be back anytime soon. So I could sit in one of the two chairs he’s set aside for guests. Hell, I could sit in his chair if I wanted. But I don’t. I like puffing away and losing myself in the curly Q smoke rings while imagining my boss is here too, silent.
I’m in no rush to have him return. I got his consent soon after old Mrs. Quintana arrived to sell her the vehicle for nearly two grand below what’s she’s offered, so I’m golden. He’s left a written contract full of dotted I’s and crossed T’s and all I have to do is fill in the final agreed-upon price and get her to sign. Well, that and deal with the financing papers, which I never enjoy. Particularly in this case. Mrs. Quintana is a little down or her luck. Her credit is sketchy at best, and she’s prime for the pickings. It’s really a travesty how the financially downtrodden are the ones expected to pay exorbitant rates so the wealthy can float by without a hitch in their step. But it’s a problem for which neither I nor anyone here has a solution. That is, unless the perpetually broke are willing to do as I’ve done: to give up any attempts at earning an honest living—something I found impossible to achieve—and go about their days trying to cunningly tip the monetary scales in their favor during life’s give-and-takes. I drop my smoke to the floor and smolder it under my wingtip shoe, thinking I need to kill a few more minutes before rejoining Mrs. Quintana. I kick the ciggy into the corner for the midnight cleaning staff to find. It hits a bump in the floor and jumps the tile, becoming momentarily perched on a low-lying ridge at the base of the wall paneling. There it teeters for a few seconds until I wonder if it’ll stay secure there. But a moment later it tumbles off.
Dirty floors, stale cigarettes and car sales. That pretty much sums up my life these days. A shyster to the unsuspecting. To the shystered.
It wasn’t always this way. I was once an innocent, too, one of the unsuspecting. But then one day when I was a kid my mother took me to the county fair. We looked at livestock mostly, took in a few rides. On our way to the fairgrounds exit, barkers and carneys pressed me to try my luck at winning a fabulous prize. There were life-size stuffed animals wherever I looked, and I tugged at my mom’s dress, begging her to give me money for a try at one. I wanted to win something for my sister Angela who stayed home sick that day under the watchful eye of my dad.
Cash in hand, I ran to the ring-toss booth and waved the bill at the man behind the counter. “Three throws please,” I told him. Like the teetering cigarette from moments ago, the rope rings fooled me for a second, dangling on their mark until harmlessly falling aside. When I asked for my change, the man fished his pockets and gave me two ones. “Sorry, that’s all I got, kid,” he said. “But tell you what; I’ll give you seven tries. That’s one more than I owe you. You’re getting a deal.” I don’t specifically remember the ensuing results; I only know I never stood a chance.
Now, as I prepare to exit Hazeltine’s office and to tell Mrs. Quintana what a deal she’s getting on the clunker sedan, I remember my reaction that day: I tossed two crumpled dollar bills into my mother’s hand and bawled into her clutches. Then I wonder what Mrs. Quintana’s reaction will be when she realizes she’s been taken. Anger? Sorrow? Perhaps a feeling as empty as her bank account? Because the realization will hit, whether it happens later today or a year or two from now is all that remains in question.
There are aspects to my profession that I like, when selling cars seems more of a game rather than simply a dreaded means to a livelihood. The times when I turn on the charisma and assume a new persona, and rekindle the glory days of my acting career, when I had the lead in a 7th grade adaptation of Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men,” and a few years later, in high school, a prominent role in “Our Town.” But there are mostly times—like now—when acid roils my stomach so bad I could almost double-over knowing that I prey on good, everyday people who are so excited to buy a new car and take it for a ride that they don’t realize that we—and me—at the lot are, in turn, taking them for a ride.
I decide today’s going to be different. Some small penance will be paid to some karmic force as I’ll take Mrs. Quintana aside, and suggest she’ll find a better value for her needs without taking on a sizeable debt at the Japanese import place two blocks down from this place. A smile sweeps my face and I suddenly get a spring in my step. I swing open the showroom door and make my reappearance on the shadowy lot.
“He go for it?” she asks. Her hands are cupped and resting on the shelf of the flowery olive fabric covering her breasts, as if in prayer.
I’m ready to come clean, to give her the real skinny—I really am—when suddenly, I blurt out: “Yessiree.” “Fantastico!” she shouts.
“But I had to fight to get him to come down; he wanted fourteen-five,” I say. “So I got it for you at thirteen and a quarter. Pretty much what you asked for.” A heavy sigh whistles through her lips and she looks like a piano’s been lifted from her back. I extend my arm and she shakes my hand with gusto.

Explore Labs Triple-Axis Accelerometer and Magnetometer LSM303D Breakout Board 5V Ready with Voltage Regulator works with I2C and SPI.
The LSM303D is a system-in-package featuring a 3D digital linear acceleration sensor and a 3D digital magnetic sensor. The LSM303D has linear acceleration full scales of ±2g / ±4g / ±6g / ±8g / ±16g and a magnetic field full scale of ±2 / ±4 / ±8 / ±12 gauss.
The LSM303D includes an I2C serial bus interface that supports standard and fast mode (100 kHz and 400 kHz) and SPI serial standard interface. The system can be configured to generate an interrupt signal for free-fall, motion detection and magnetic field detection. Thresholds and timing of interrupt generators are programmable by the end user. Magnetic and accelerometer blocks can be enabled or put into power-down mode separately.
The carrier board includes a low-dropout linear voltage regulator that provides the 3.3 V required by the LSM303D, which allows the sensor to be powered from 2.5 V to 5.5 V. The regulator output is available on the 3Vo pin which can supply approx. 150 mA to external devices.
The breakout board also includes a circuit that shifts the two I2C lines or all four SPI lines (clock, data-in/out and chip select) to the same logic voltage level as the supplied VIN, making it simple to interface the board with 5V systems; and the board’s 0.1″ pin spacing makes it easy to use with standard solderless breadboards and 0.1″ perfboards. The board ships fully populated with its SMD components, including the LSM303D, as shown in the product picture.
Output Format: Values are expressed in 16-bits as two’s complement for each axis. As shown in the example codes below, knowing the sensitivites of the device, one can easily find out the acceleration value in g (acceleration due to gravity - m/s2) and magnetic field intensity in gauss. These readings may be used separately or together to create a tilt-compensated compass or other complex orientation calculations for Inertial Measurement Units (IMU).
I2C Communication: By default, I2C communication is implemented. The Explore Labs 3D Accelerometer + 3D Magnetometer LSM303D Compass Breakout Board can be configured and its angular velocity readings can be queried through the I2C bus. Level shifters on the I2C clock (SCL) and data (SDA) lines enable I2C communication with microcontrollers operating at the same voltage as VIN (2.5V to 5V). A detailed explanation of the I2C interface on the LSM303D can be found in its datasheet and more detailed information about I2C Protocol in general can be found in NXP’s I2C-bus specification manual.
I2C Address: In I2C mode, the device’s 7-bit slave address has its least significant bit (LSb) determined by the voltage on the SDO/ADR pin. The carrier board pulls SDO/ADR HIGH through a 4.7 kΩ resistor, making the LSb 1 and setting the slave address to 0011101b (0x1D). This is the default device address in I2C mode. If SDO/ADR pin is connected to ground, LSb value is ‘0’ which changes the device address to 0011110b (0x1E). This solution permits the connection and addressing of two different accelerometers to the same I2C lines.
SPI Communication: To use the LSM303D in SPI mode, CS pin must be driven low (connected to GND). A minimum of four logic connections are used viz., SDI, SCK, SDO and CS. These should be connected to an SPI bus operating at the same logic level as VIN. The SPI interface operates in 4-wire mode by default, with SDI and SDO on separate pins. In the default 4-wire mode, the sensor transmits data to the SPI master on a dedicated data out (SDO) line. If the SPI interface is configured to use 3-wire mode instead, the SDI line doubles as SDO and is driven by the LSM303D when it transmits data to the master. A detailed explanation of the SPI interface on the LSM303D can be found in its datasheet.

you don’t like herbstreit? imo, he is one of the best analysts for espn-he admits when he is wrong (see OSU/’PSU, 2005), and actually puts forth effort to give an unbiased opinion. as opposed to may, lou holthz, etc. on second thought, maybe the bar is set too low….
nice digressions…..you gambling on this week’s outcome?
just once, i would love to see psu go deep on the first offensive play of the game. or go play action, or run a bootleg on first and goal.
the point is, we need to establish ourselves early, and win this game by a big margin (if possible. knock on wood). winning on the road by a sizable margin will improve this team’s demeanor when we hit columbus in two weeks. we come into the shoe with any doubts, and we lose. the buckeyes can smell fear and weakness, and react savagely.
No, jd, actually Herbstreit’s only current guilt is by association with Musberger. Not his fault, to be sure. He has come a long way from the old days, when he was an overt Buckeye homey.
At this point, I’d have to say that Craig James is the bottom of the barrel, the scum of the analyst Earth.
Eggman – enjoy the foliage in New England! Don’t even think about the stock market. Hang onto that bottle of Boone’s farm. It might look like Chateau Latour by the time the crash is finished.
jd, you and I agree on our pipe dreams. It would be a great surprise if the first series involved some money plays. I hope it turns out that way. My spirits need that boost.
Alas, I put no money where my keyboard is. I’d have to have some left in order to do that!

Twin/Dual promoter plasmid for expressing two genes in mammalian cells where both genes are terminated at the same poly-adenylation signal.
This plasmid contains two promoters that terminate transcription at the same poly-adenylation signal allowing the expression of two genes from one expression cassette. The second promoter (PGK) is approximately 10-fold weaker than the upstream CMV promoter.
There is a start codon in the NcoI site that can be removed by digestion with KpnI if required. The MCS for gene insertions extends from NotI to XbaI but the Shine-Dalgarno sequences and KOZAK ribosomal entry site sequences are aligned with the start codon in the NcoI site. The PGK promoter has been inserted between the ClaI and BamHI sites and contains sites downstream to allow a second gene to be inserted.
The BsgI and BseRI restriction sites in the first MCS cleave within the stop codon in the XbaI site and allow the retrospective fusion of coding sequences.

I have been working very hard to increase my water intake throughout the day and to stop drinking so much Diet Coke. A few drops of Pure, currently I’m drinking the Pomegranate flavor, makes my water very appetizing and before I know it I have drank a full 8- 12 ounces. You can control the amount of flavor by the number of the drops of Pure you put into your water.
I enjoy many of the other flavors of Pure, including the vanilla and the tropical flavor. This is a great gift for anyone needing or wanting to drink more water and very easy to use, whether at home, on the go, or at the assisted living facility.

My name is Chris Smith and I’d like to welcome you to my website. The following is a little about what I do. First and foremost, I'm a professional wedding photographer in Lancashire. I love to work with people and I love creating images that my clients keep forever.
I am one of those extremely lucky people who are able to make a good living from my hobby and passion, and this comes in the form of taking photographs, capturing real life moments that are often missed in the blink of an eye.
From my base in Chorley, in between Preston and Wigan, I currently offer two main types of photography across Lancashire – wedding and portrait.
First and foremost, I am a wedding photographer, providing brides and grooms across the North West with the style of wedding photography that they want – not what I think they should have. If you are unsure of the style of photography that you want for your wedding then I will of course help give you some ideas and inspiration. The only thing that I insist on is that you let me capture the emotion, joy, excitement and happiness as it happens. After all, documenting these types of moments is what a wedding photographer is meant to do.
I work with only you in mind - you're the most important thing to me. Making sure that you get the day you deserve captured and get those memories that you don't see. This is where I am an important asset to your big day.
As a modern and contemporary Lancashire based wedding photographer, I do not insist that you have all of the usual formal shots if you don’t want them. If you do want these, then brilliant – these will be photographs to cherish for a lifetime. The most important thing to me is you and my promise is that you get the style of wedding photography that you want.
Before the big day, I really like to get to know my clients and this starts at the initial consultation. This isn’t just to run through all of the formalities – it’s to get to know you both as individuals and as a couple. This personal approach to my work ensures that I know what is important to you and also gives you the confidence to trust me to capture your day exactly as you would want.
I have photographed a number of weddings at various venues across Lancashire and Merseyside, in particular those around Chorley, Preston, Wigan, Southport and Liverpool. As your photographer, this is a benefit to you as I will more than likely be familiar with the layout and may already have different types of creative shots in mind – if that’s what you want of course.
To find out if I am the right kind of photographer for you, please feel free to contact me here.
All packages include a pre-wedding shoot which is to help us get to know each other a little better and to crack the ice, this helps to make sure we all get the best out of your images.
You can check out some of my feedback on my Facebook page.
So, if you are starting to plan your big day and are looking for a friendly and creative wedding photographer in the Preston, Wigan or Lancashire area, give me a call or drop me an email to see how I can add true value to one of the biggest days of your life.

We don’t just do weddings at Abbas. With Christmas approaching fast we also provide and cater for a lot of corporate and private Christmas Parties and Events. In the past we have supplied large companies with marquees for their seasonal party along with decorations & accessories for hotels and venues.
For this particular party, a clear span frame marquee to seat 230 guests was used in conjunction with a popular venue in Somerset, Charlton House Hotel.
Starlight ceilings paired with gold chairs and candelabras were used to really capture the Christmas theme.
Starlight Ceiling, Chandeliers and Gold Chairs.
The brief for this was to create a space to cater for an area for dining, dancing and a large bar area. Tickets for a Christmas Party night were sold to include a 3 course meal by The French Kitchen followed by a live DJ.
The space was created from 2 frame marquee structures to fit around the lake. It included round dining tables, silver chivari chairs and a black & white checkered dance floor. Disco balls, effect lighting and chandeliers were also used to create a festive party atmosphere.
Our canvas sail was used to create an outdoor covered area along with wooden doors and a red carpet walkway.

President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday signed the Pension Reform Bill, 2014 into law.
With the signing the bill into law, the Pension Reform Act, No 2, 2004 has been repealed.
The bill had been passed by the House of Representatives on May 27, while the Senate passed the bill on June 3.
The new law is designed to punish offenders, with a view to serving as deterrence to those who may want to mis-manage or divert pension funds assets.
The new pension law also provided for the minimum rate of Pension Contribution from 15 per cent to 18 per cent of monthly emolument, and 8 per cent to be contributed by employee and 10 per cent by the employer.
Also outlined in the law, the percentage would ensure the provision of additional benefits to workers’ Retirement Savings Accounts thereby enhance their monthly pension benefits at retirement.
The new law also empowered pension commission to take proactive corrective measures on licenced operators whose situations, actions or inactions jeopardise the safety of pension assets as the provision further fortifies the pension assets against mismanagement and or systemic risks.
The law also provided for the repositioning of the Pension Transition Arrangement Directorate (PTAD) with a view to ensuring efficiency and accountability in the administration of the Defined Benefits Scheme in the federal public service.
It equally provided for the creation of additional permissible investment instruments to accommodate initiatives for national development, such as investment in the real sector, including infrastructure and real estate development.
This is provided without compromising the paramount principle of ensuring the safety of pension fund assets.
Also provided for in the new pension reform law is the expanded coverage of the contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) in the private sector organisations with three employees and above, in line with the drive towards informal sector participation.
It also reduced the waiting period for accessing benefits in the event of loss of job by employees from six months to four months. This is done in order to identify with the yearning of contributors and labour.
The law also makes provision that would compel an employer to open a Temporary Retirement Savings Account (TRSA) on behalf of an employee that failed to open an RSA within three (3) months of assumption of duty. This was not required under 2004 Act.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical treatment involving the implantation of a medical device, which sends electrical impulses to specific parts of the brain. DBS in select brain regions has provided remarkable therapeutic benefits for otherwise treatment-resistant movement disorders such as Parkinson’s Disease, Essential Tremor and Dystonia.
ITB TherapySM uses two fully implantable components – an infusion pump and an intraspinal catheter – to deliver precise amounts of Lioresal® Intrathecal (baclofen injection) directly into the intrathecal space.
Because ITB Therapy delivers baclofen directly to the spinal cord, it may relieve severe spasticity with smaller amounts of medication than when taken orally. This may present an alternative for patients who do not respond to or cannot tolerate therapeutic oral doses.

(Mexico City, MEX) Team Canada defeated host Mexico 74-67 in a hotly contested gold medal showdown on Saturday at the Men’s U23 Americas Zone Qualification Tournament in Mexico City. Both teams have qualified for the World Junior Championship in Turkey in September.
The match was close from the opening tip off until the final whistle. The lead seesawed back and forth for the entire first quarter with Canada narrowly coming out ahead 17–16. The trend continued in the second frame until Canada went on a 6-0 run in the dying minutes of the quarter to take a 31–25 lead at the break.
Mexico clawed its way back in the third quarter and briefly took the lead, while Canada struggled through some foul trouble. Mexico only converted twice on eight attempts from the free throw line as Canada held a slim 48-47 edge on the scoreboard going into the final frame.
Both teams frantically traded baskets throughout the fourth quarter at an electric pace, with Mexico responding to every Canadian basket. Mexico managed to tie the game at 63 with three minutes to play before Kevin Wakeling and Reid Richard scored 7 and 4 points, respectively, to seal the victory for Canada. Canada played solid defence to end the game, forcing turnovers with pressure and limiting Mexico to just two baskets.
Nik Goncin scored a game-high 28 points for Canada despite being double and triple teamed at times throughout the match. With Goncin receiving the extra attention from the Mexican defence, the remaining Canadian players made them pay by converting on their scoring opportunities time after time.
Earlier in the day Brazil defeated Venezuela 68-36 to claim the bronze medal.

This article by the Micronutrient Information Center of the Linus Pauline Institute, Micronutrient Research for Optimum Health, explains the vital function of choline in the structural integrity of cell membranes, cell signaling, nerve impulse transmission, lipid (fat) transport and metabolism, and major source of methyl groups.
It also goes on to point out the symptoms and nutrient interactions resulting from choline deficiency. It lists serious complications of choline deficiency, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, pregnancy Complications such as neural tube defects and cognitive functioning (memory).
Little is known regarding the amount of dietary choline required to promote optimum health or prevent chronic disease in humans. The Linus Pauling Institute supports the recommendation by the Food and Nutrition Board of 550 milligrams (mg)/day for adult men and 425 mg/day for adult women. A varied diet should provide enough choline for most people, but vegetarians who consume no milk or eggs may be at risk of inadequate choline intake.

During the past two weeks in athletics, the children have been working extremely hard learning the techniques needed for field events (javelin, shot put, discus and long jump) and track events (100m and hurdles) which they will participate in on Sports Day.
For some children this is their first time learning and trying some of these events. Nevertheless, each child has demonstrated determination in getting the technique right through repetition.
The focus in cricket has been bowling, this includes keeping the arm straight as well as as adding in the run and the jump to gain momentum. Matches have been introduced to develop all children’s understanding of the point system and rules.
On Friday the 11th of May, two WPS dodgeball teams faced four other teams from two local schools to fight for the AMSA cup. With this being a fairly new sport to most, all the children adapted very quickly to the rules of the game.
In the first two matches, WPS took their opponents by surprise and came away with two comfortable wins. However, the other two teams after that proved to be trickier opponents. Both teams had to dig deep and WPS eventually came away with a draw and a loss.
After four hugely energetic performances, WPS began to show signs of fatigue but through predetermination and team work, both teams came away with four encouraging performances.
This meant that it was all to play for in the last game of the competition. Every school that participated had worked hard and were determined to win the last game in order to take the AMSA Cup back to school. However, after a very nervy 5 minutes both WPS teams won, this meant that WPS would be crowned the new AMSA Cup winners!
Despite playing a sport in which most had never played before, the children demonstrated fantastic perseverance as well as showing terrific sportsmanship by always respecting their opponents.
WELL DONE WPS DODGEBALL CHAMPIONS!!!

13 Feb California’s governor has cancelled plans for a high-speed railway linking San Francisco and Los Angeles, saying that that it would cost too much and take too long.
However, a stretch of the line will be completed.
Newsom acknowledged that some critics will say this is a “train to nowhere”. “But that’s wrong and offensive,” he said. “The people of the Central Valley endure the worst air pollution in America as well as some of the longest commutes. And they have suffered too many years of neglect from policymakers here in Sacramento. They deserve better.” Merced, Fresno, Bakersfield, and communities in between are more dynamic than many realise, he said.
Regional projects will be continued and the state will finish Phase 1 environmental work. “We’ll connect the revitalized Central Valley to other parts of the state, and continue to push for more federal funding and private dollars,” said Newsom. Abandoning high-speed rail entirely would waste billions of dollars with nothing but broken promises and lawsuits to show for it, he said.

So I’m here to talk about something a little bit out of the ordinary- a graphic novel!
Blankets was a gripping, heartfelt coming of age story. It was beautiful, it was human, it was sincere and excellently crafted. I was immediately hooked by the effortless storytelling technique and the honest, real characters.
Blurb: Wrapped in the landscape of a blustery Wisconsin winter, Blankets explores the sibling rivalry of two brothers growing up in the isolated country, and the budding romance of two coming-of-age lovers. A tale of security and discovery, of playfulness and tragedy, of a fall from grace and the origins of faith.
The art style is absolutely beautiful, and it manages to work through some pretty complicated feelings about faith and family in a nuanced way. The book was 600 pages, but it was so good that I read it in one sitting, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Rob Manfred was elected baseball's 10th commissioner Thursday, winning a three-man race to succeed Bud Selig and given a mandate by the tradition-bound sport to recapture young fans and speed play in an era that has seen competition increase and attention spans shrink.
The 55-year-old Manfred, who has worked for Major League Baseball in roles with ever-increasing authority since 1998, will take over from the 80-year-old Selig on Jan. 25. It's a generational change much like the NBA undertook when Adam Silver, then 51, replaced 71-year-old David Stern as commissioner in February. And like Silver, Manfred was his boss's pick.
Manfred beat out Boston Red Sox Chairman Tom Werner in the first contested vote for a new commissioner in 46 years. The third candidate, MLB Executive Vice President of Business Tim Brosnan, withdrew just before the start of balloting.
Selig has led baseball since September 1992, first as chairman of the sport's executive council following Fay Vincent's forced resignation and as commissioner since July 1998. After announcing his intention to retire many times only to change his mind, he said last September that he really, truly planned to depart in January 2015.
One baseball executive who attended the meeting, speaking on condition of anonymity because details of the 4 1/2-hour session were not to be divulged, said Manfred was elected on approximately the sixth ballot. The initial vote was 20-10 for Manfred, three short of the required three-quarters majority.
His total increased to 21 on the second and 22 on the third. While teams put written ballots into envelopes, keeping their choices secret, from team official speeches it was evident that Tampa Bay's Stuart Sternberg and Milwaukee's Mark Attanasio likely switched, the person said.
Manfred's total dropped to 20, then increased back to 22 before a dinner break. He got the needed 23rd vote on the next, apparently from Washington. Owners then made the final vote unanimous. The person said it appeared Arizona, Boston, the Chicago White Sox, Cincinnati, the Los Angeles Angels, Oakland and Toronto had been the final holdouts.
"What I said to the owners when I came down after the vote is that I didn't really want to even think about who was on what side of what issue at points in the process," Manfred said, "and that my commitment to the owners was that I would work extremely hard day in and day out to convince all 30 of them that they had made a great decision today."
White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf and Toronto president Paul Beeston spoke out strongly against Manfred, the person said. Angels owner Arte Moreno joined Reinsdorf in leading Werner's support.
"While Rob may not have been my initial choice for commissioner, the conclusion of a very good process was to name Rob as the person best positioned to help baseball endure and grow even stronger for the next generation of fans," Reinsdorf said in a statement. "Today's decision was reached by 30 owners voting separately but speaking, in the end, with one voice."
Werner, who made his career as a television executive, was preferred by those who wanted an owner to follow Selig, who was the longtime head of the Milwaukee Brewers when he took over MLB.
"I think the last two days have been productive because we've been able to share a number of ideas about the game and how to improve it and modernize it," Werner said. "I think that Rob agrees with many of the ideas that I espoused, and I am very confident that we are going to see some things, such as improved pace of play."
Manfred started with baseball in the late 1980s as an outside counsel in labor negotiations and was hired by Selig as executive vice president for labor relations and human resources in 1998. He received an expanded role of executive vice president of economics and league affairs in 2012 and last September was promoted to chief operating officer, becoming the likely heir apparent to Selig.
Manfred helped lead negotiations for baseball's last three labor contracts and the first joint drug agreement that was instituted in 2002, a program that has been strengthened repeatedly.
Manfred, whose term was not specified, grew up in Rome, New York — about an hour's drive from the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. He must address issues that include decreased interest in baseball among young people and an average game time that has stretched to 3:03 — up 30 minutes from 1981. And he will be leading an opinionated group of multimillionaires and billionaires.
"I think some of Rob's greatest attributes are his ability to reach consensus," said St. Louis owner Bill DeWitt Jr., who chaired the committee that picked the three candidates.
"I have known Rob for more than 15 years, and I'm confident that his vast experience in all aspects of the sport will serve his commissionership well," Clark said in a statement.
While average attendance of about 30,500 is not far below the record of 32,785 set in 2007 before the Great Recession, national television ratings for the World Series have dropped by more than 50 percent under Selig — partly because of fractured viewing caused by the vast increase in available networks.
"We have to figure out ways to make it relevant to that 12-year-old," San Francisco Giants President Larry Baer said. "I have four children, and we want to make baseball as relevant as possible to them with their handheld and on television and getting more people playing the sport. Those are all big challenges, and I think Rob sees all of those in his purview, and I think he's ready to attack."
