How to remove Push Way from the computer and browsers
If you're currently on this page, you definitely have an issue with intrusive ads. It's a frequent problem today, as adware is getting very popular, and they're dwelling even on the most reputable sites. The thing is to learn how they work. We also know how adware enters the device, and we'll tell you what to do to avoid it. People always say: it's wiser to avoid adware than to uninstall it, and they're right! On this website, you will find the helpful information about undesired programs.
What is Push Way. Removal reasons and methods
Push Way is a malicious program that appeared in your system, just before the ads started to show up. The majority of red flags, that computer operators associate with their devices, are triggered by adware, such as Push Way. We are talking about a slow launch, overheating, lagging, critical failures, often shutdowns, and a lot of other irritating problems. Here's a detailed definition, if you don't believe us.
- Sluggish work of the machine is commonly triggered by the obstruction of a system with adware, malware and different unwanted tools. It isn't the computer's failing. The useless programs have a horrible practice of operating in the background and starting to work immediately after the PC's boot. That's why you're waiting for minutes before the device is able to respond to your demands after the boot. They aren't useful in any way, yet they still are taking your device's resources.
- Excessive heat is triggered by that very fact – lots of tools are acting simultaneously. In fact, turning them off may work well, but they will reinstall themselves and will be back right after you reload the PC.
- Fatal failures aren't actually the Push Way's work – they're more like a hackers' inaccuracy. Sophisticated viruses are dealing okay with all other utilities, but the crude advertising tools are clashing with many decent programs and triggering Emergency shutdowns.
We said nothing about the link flood, and it wasn't an accident. Of course, it's caused by advertising utilities too, but who blame hardware for that problem?!
As you've already noticed that we're always talking about many unwanted utilities. It's because adware doesn't get into the computer solo. Adware always brings mates along. Push Way can bring you advertisement and modify the browser features, yet besides that – it can't damage the OS. The much more interesting issue happens if adware stays in the PC for more than a week and lets you download other similar tools, which causes the chain reaction. That's where the super fun begins: each ad you click can lead to a suspicious website, and you might download some real malware. You certainly want to evade this problem, and the only way to do it is uninstall Push Way promptly.
How to guard your system
Before we start removing Push Way, there's one more matter to discuss: AV defense. We don't mean an antivirus, as AV-program cannot effectively shield you against hazardous tools. Push Way employs the wholly alien approach. It doesn't infect the device in some smart way, adware easily allows you to download it. And, in the majority of cases, you agree. Almost all customers do that. Push Way uses the affiliate installation technique. It's more about tricks than about hacker's mastery, but it keeps working from the days when the Web was developed. Hackers compose an adware bundle, put a lot of dangerous programs in there, and give it a name of some reliable tool. After that, any user might get it and install adware and everything else. The breaking point of the process is the pop-up menu in which you're suggested to choose the installation way. In case of a usual installation, it suggests you choose a place where you want to have the tool, configure its settings or choose the useful modules that you might need. While installing Push Way, you choose between "install just the tool I need" and "install all that trash and don't care about consequences." The cursor is automatically hovering on the manner that hackers suggest, so you should only press "agree." That's how Push Way has entered the computer.
How to remove Push Way
We know two ways to delete Push Way. You can execute it by your own hands if you know the basics of PC expertise, or with use of a high-quality AV utility, which will save you a lot of your time and grant protection from infection in future. Each one of these manners has its benefits and drawbacks. You might get rid of a few advertising programs by hand, but when there are plenty of them – the PC won't allow you to do so. Manual deletion doesn't need you to buy any software, but on the contrary – it's wiser to buy a reliable antivirus than to grieve about not doing it when the computer is infected. Here we want to show you Spyhunter. This utility is a real adware-hunter, and you can see it if you give it a try.

Earlier this year, the City of Boston posted two job openings that should be of particular interest to WalkUP believers. Most notably, a Director of Active Transportation who will "think holistically about how our streets are used by people who walk, bike, and take transit." The application period may (?) be closed, and the public listing is now difficult (perhaps impossible) to find, so we wanted to share an archive copy here to provide perspective into a very promising new direction for the city. It's unlikely that we would have seen a city job posting requiring "an individual who understands the pressing need for action" on pedestrian and bike issues several years ago. Hopefully this description is (or was) sufficiently inspiring to attract top talent to apply locally and perhaps from everywhere in the world. If anyone knows more about the status of this opening (or the "Chief of Streets" discussed further below), please leave a comment!

Hiring Range: $125,000-$140,000

Employees: 870 (approx.)
Job Description:
The streets are one of our most valuable public resources and the lifeblood of the city. Boston is in the midst of a transition from a city that served the transportation needs of the last half-century to one which can serve the future. The street network in Boston is unique, constrained, and rich in character. From being the first American City with a subway system, to the depression of the Central Artery, to becoming one of the most successful multi-city bicycle-share systems in the nation – Boston does not shy away from complicated and transformative projects. Now, the City is again poised to be an innovator and leader in re-imagining how streets are used by the public for the next century.
Under the leadership of Mayor Martin J. Walsh, the City of Boston seeks a visionary leader with a strong concern for and awareness of urban issues, who, as Chief of the Streets (COTS), will build the infrastructure, team, and tools that deliver against a vision for better city services and enhanced mobility opportunities.
There are three responsibilities consistent across all positions in the Walsh Administration:
- Learning. Mayor Walsh is building a team of people who are not only comfortable with new ideas, but also have the curiosity to seek them and the courage to try them. For the COTS, this will mean exploring ways to reach the Citys stated mode-shift goals, identifying solutions to improve service delivery, and seeking out best-practice solutions from around the world.
- Leveraging. Mayor Walsh is creating one Boston, where all of our institutions, departments and residents are collaborating to build the best city. For the COTS, this will mean identifying ways to consolidate and improve operations, forging new partnerships with private organizations and area research universities, and investing in programs and infrastructure that serve as the platform for Bostonians high-quality of life.
- Leading. Mayor Walsh is seeking leaders who will steer a change agenda. For the COTS, this will mean a person with a passion for implementing transformative projects to make our streets safer and more sustainable, working collaboratively with colleagues across departments, the region and neighboring cities on an action oriented agenda, and, bringing Boston to new prominence as a world-class leader for mobility, infrastructure, and integrated city services.
Boston has long been considered an innovator and leader in transportation and public works projects. While the street network is complicated, the role the streets play are not. Simply put, the streets permit the City to function – from commutes to work and school, to the recycling trucks humming through the neighborhoods, and the web of utilities swimming underneath them – they are the lifeblood of a City with almost 400 years of history. But while Boston been providing transportation and public works projects to residents for almost four centuries, there are still tremendous opportunities to make improvements and to ready Boston for the next century of growth and change.
Boston is unique in its resources, it's home to the world's leading academic institutions, to world-class healthcare and finance industries, and to a growing creative economy. Boston also has an especially tech-savvy population; one in every three residents of the city is between the ages of 20-34. Over half of Boston residents select a mode other than a car as they head to work and school each day. Boston is also a dense city, encompassing 50 square miles and 850 miles of streets. The network of roadways, sidewalks, and public space, is about to undergo a major public process through the GoBoston2030 project – a City-led transportation vision plan kicking off in early January 2015.
The City of Boston COTS will be expected to lead an ambitious agenda including:
- To set a progressive vision for improving our streets in a way that meets the needs of a changing population and delivers on City goals including:
- leading Boston's Transportation Visioning Process (GoBoston2030);
- designing a plan to eliminate traffic-related fatalities in Boston over the next decade;
- sparking ideas for non-traditional uses that create a vibrant, green, creative, and active streetscape
- advancing a "lighter, quicker, and cheaper" approach as a pathway for improvements that benefit all roadway users.
- Lead the implementation of Complete Streets policies, which strive to make our streets green, multi-modal, and smart, through increased collaboration and transparency of the Public Improvements Commission
- Forge new public private partnerships and more formalized relationships with existing Transportation Management Associations and local business groups.
- Strengthen ties with surrounding communities and relative state agencies to foster a regional approach to public infrastructure and transportation solutions
- Deliver top-quality public services with focus on data-driven results in the maintenance of public infrastructure, waste reduction, and improved permitting processes
- Provide continuity to agency operations across the Public Works and Transportation Departments to drive effectiveness in serving constituents;
- Align department resources to provide a clear and transparent review process for large-scale capital projects and private development;
- Management of department Directors, who oversee daily operations, programs, and planning activities.
Chief of Streets, Transportation, & Sanitation Cabinet:
This cabinet position oversees the Public Works and Transportation Departments, as well as the Office of the Parking Clerk and Boston Bikes. The Cabinet Chief is also the link to the Boston Water and Sewer Commission – which is overseen by a separate Executive Director and a Board of Commissioners appointed by the Mayor.
Transportation Department: Works to promote public safety and enhance the quality of life for residents through the management of the Citys transportation network. This includes long-range visioning and planning, engineering, education, parking enforcement, and policy setting.
Public Works Department: Provides core basic services essential to neighborhood quality of life, including snow/ice control, trash and recycling collection, street sweeping, street lighting, utility coordination, and road resurfacing and reconstruction projects.
Preferred Candidate Qualifications:
The ideal candidate:
- Is a seasoned manager with strong transportation or public works planning, policy and/or operations experience.
- Has a Bachelor's degree in Urban Planning, Public Policy, Public Administration, Engineering or a closely related field, and the knowledge typically gained through a Master's program or professional degree program in a relevant field.

Tasmania's peak union body is being investigated over allegations it misspent a $190,000 government grant.
The Liberal state government has asked its justice department to examine a claim that Unions Tasmania spent money allocated for workers' welfare on a car, furniture and fees for speaking engagements by a union official.
The grant was provided under the former Labor-Green Tasmanian government in 2013.
Attorney-General Vanessa Goodwin said the government had been made aware of the allegation by The Australian newspaper.
It aired unsourced concerns that money for sick or injured workers was diverted to pay for a $50,000 car, office furniture, air-conditioning and fees for talks to school children.
The grant, from the state's Solicitors Guarantee Fund, was earmarked for Unions Tasmania's Worker Assist program and was to include the employment of a part-time social worker, the report said.
"Advice from the department is that under the previous government, there had not been a formal process in place for ensuring grants from the Solicitors Guarantee Fund had been spent on the intended purpose," Dr Goodwin said in a statement.
"I will work with the department to address this before further grants are distributed from the fund."
Unions Tasmania secretary Kevin Harkins, a prominent Tasmanian Labor left figure, said his organisation was co-operating with the investigation, but he rejected the allegations.
"We are corresponding with the department in regards to the unfounded claims raised and will do so to their complete satisfaction," he said.
Mr Harkins has said a youth program was begun by the union this week.

Are you an owner-operator or carrier thinking about going to Truckstop.com's Connected Conference, but you're just not quite convinced that it'll be worth it?
Maybe you know you want to go, but you're not sure how to justify the expense. After all, it can seem like a big risk to take yourself or some of your trucks off the road for a couple of days of training. If the wheels aren't moving, you're not making any money.
Instead of thinking about it in terms of time not spent on the road, think about it in terms of how attending Connected will pay off for your business over the course of the next year. How? We're glad you asked!
It's a great opportunity to network.
One of the primary purposes of Connected is to build better relationships with other freight professionals. It is designed for transportation partners to network and discover ways to work better together. We build a lot of networking time into the event, including an opening night reception (May 15) and off-site activity to encourage attendees to talk openly and get to know one another. There are a lot of brokers who attend; when carriers and owner-operators get to know them, they can build partnerships to work with each other in the future.
Increase your profit margins.
A primary function of Connected is to teach Truckstop.com users how to maximize the tools they're already using. There is a lot of functionality within the Truckstop.com Load Board that many people don't know about – things that can simplify the job of finding loads or getting good rates. When you have more information, you can do more with less. That means more time to do other business-related tasks, and that means more money in your pocket.
We also do a deep dive into industry best practices and will be going into the future of digital logistics which is changing and expanding every day.
You'll get certified product training.
In addition to the incredible hands-on training that comes with the general Connected Conference, carriers are invited to join us for a Power User Certification Course, May 14-15.
We're very fortunate to have Kevin Rutherford of Let's Truck and host of SiriusXM's Trucking Business & Beyond presenting the Carrier Power User Certification Course!
The primary purpose of the Power User Certification Course is to cover major content areas directly relevant to a carrier's day-to-day business processes. Attendees receive take-home materials, job aids, tips and tricks for using Truckstop.com tools, and access to a Certified Power User Community where you can connect and problem solve with others like you.
Are you convinced that you want to be there, but now you're not sure how to make it happen?
The biggest piece of advice we can offer for justifying the trip to Phoenix is getting a load there and back. If you can get the miles covered by taking a load into and out of Phoenix, you can feel better about having your truck parked there while you're taking part in training that will increase your profit margins in the long run.

The Port of Rotterdam Authority and Shtandart TT, a 100% subsidiary of Russia's Summa Group, have terminated their contract for the construction of the Tank Terminal Europoort West.
The terminal, which ultimately would have had a capacity of over 3 million cubic metres of storage space, was intended for transit of Urals crude oil and oil products.
At the end of 2010, the Port Authority launched an 'open assessment procedure', which led to a contract with Shtandart TT. At the beginning of 2013, the Port Authority handed over the site to Shtandart, ready for construction. By early 2015 all of the building and environmental permits necessary for construction and operation of the terminal were in place.
The contract between the Port Authority and Shtandart TT, which was concluded four years ago, included agreements on the schedule and the quantities of crude oil and oil products that would be handled at the terminal. Shtandart TT has recently initiated discussions on the feasibility of the project, which have led to the decision to terminate the joint project.
Considering the highly dynamic nature of the global oil sector, including that in Russia, and developments in the handling of oil products in Rotterdam, the Port Authority believes it may be possible to develop the terminal concept with another interested party now that the site is available again.
The handling of mineral oil products was up by more than 25% at the Port of Rotterdam in the first six months of 2015. The main reason behind this is an increase in Russian fuel oil that is shipped to the Far East via Rotterdam. About 30% of the crude oil that has arrived in Rotterdam has come from Russia in the last decade.

Every year, Detroit Today Host Stephen Henderson makes a jazz-inspired holiday soundtrack, which includes artists ranging from Ray Charles to Mahalia Jackson, Billie Holiday to The Supremes.
Until last year, it was a list of songs he shared with family and friends. But now, he's sharing it with WDET listeners.
"There's a couple of criteria," says Stephen. "Of course, they have to be good songs — they almost always have to be jazz… But they don't always have to be explicit Christmas songs. They can be about love, they can be about winter, they can be about anything that evokes the feelings of the season."
Here's an almost-complete Spotify playlist of the songs that remind Stephen of the Christmas season and winter:

Quantum Strategies was founded to provide closely held and family owned businesses with strategic advice to help them solve complex issues. Initially, those issues were solely focused around the tax impact of the capital structure and the business succession plans. As we helped organizations to prepare for the eventual transfer to family members, existing shareholders/employees, or an outside buyer, we identified a recurring problem across the clients, irrespective of location and industry.
The issue was noncompliance with government regulations pertaining to having employees. The ever-changing regulatory burdens which were rearing up impacted the profitability and financial values of the enterprise. Our clients asked us for assistance to proactively address these issues before they impacted the organization.
Initially, we were retained by our clients to research these issues and develop solutions for them. The results of our findings weren't that there was a shortage of advice from outside firms, but a serious issue of implementation slippage. Multiple vendors were operating in silo, providing under-staffed HR Departments with direction, which was poorly implemented, thus leaving the organization vulnerable to unnecessary liability. Compounding the problem was that most organizations' systems were not fully integrated, and there was too much reliance on manual input, resulting in human error.
We initially hired one Senior HR Professional, and shared it among our clients. Quickly, this practice group has expanded to over 40 professionals and provides services ranging from HR Consulting to HR Transformation. We are agnostic to technologies and act as independent consultants to fully understand an organization's needs and match them with the right vendors that are best able to handle the nuisances of their structure. We combined the best in breed technologies that meet their requirements and integrate them to provide our clients a fully integrated system.
From the integration expertise we needed to develop for our HR clients, we were able to launch Quantum Integration Services (QIS). QIS provides our clients with the ability to integrate all their legacy software across the entire enterprise, further reducing the cost structure and increasing profitability and efficiencies.

Keep the "Burn" Out of Your Summer Fun in the Sun
Memorial Day marks the end of another school year and the unofficial start of outdoor summer fun. Public pools open and slip 'n slides are rolled out to the soundtrack of ice cream truck jingles and kids' laughter. Along with accidental belly flops, dropped ice cream cones, and unseen rocks under the slip 'n slide, are the nasty sunburns. Sunburns might seem like just a temporary pain or discomfort, but there are more dangerous effects that aren't always immediately apparent.

As part of Quest Fest 2012, an annual international visual theater festival in Baltimore, we at Black Cherry Puppet Theater did a community arts residencies in collaboration with the Creative Alliance's Open Minds after school arts programs.
I worked with a group of high schoolers at a local library.
We used the Lakota ghost story "The Man Who Was Afraid of Nothing" as inspiration for our puppet show. We read the story and discussed its origin, themes, and relevance to our culture today. The students designed the set and puppets for the show, and we collaborated on expressing the story through wordless-choreography set to music, which helped our show be accessible to the broadest audience possible.

Bhubaneswar: A girl student of a city-based engineering college allegedly committed suicide in her hostel room late of Thursday night after being allegedly debarred from appearing semester exam.
The deceased, has been identified as Ankita Jena, a 2nd year student of Civil Engineering department of CV Raman College of Engineering (CVRCE).
According to available information, Tamando police has seized the body and sent it for post-mortem to AIIMS hospital here.
Meanwhile, the family members have alleged that Ankita committed suicide due to collection of excess fees by the college authorities and after being debarred from appearing for semester exam.
Besides, they have also alleged that the police is trying to suppress the matter due to pressure.
On the other hand, the college authorities refuted the allegations and said that Ankita had joined the college on August 16, this year through lateral entry. She was availing the CVRCE LE Scholarship and was staying in the AC hostel of the college.

Temecula, CA (February 1, 2011)—Johnny Greaves announced today that veteran off-road racer and Ready Lift backed champion Marty Hart would be racing his Pro-2 Monster Energy Toyota truck in the Traxxas TORC Series in 2011 while Greaves will continue his quest to dominate the Pro 4 class.
"Marty has won races and championships in so many different vehicles and off-road formats that his resume is very impressive at any level," stated Greaves. "We have been testing together and I realized that Marty has the skills to win against a stellar bunch of contenders in the TORC series. Marty is a great addition since he brings so much experience to the crew from a mechanical and testing standpoint in addition to driving the wheels off this Toyota Pro 2."
This team is sure to make the competition sweat since Greaves won the TORC Pro 4 title in 2010 and Hart won the 2010 Pro-Lite title in the Lucas Oil Series with a third place in the TORC Series. Greaves is the winningest driver in Pro 4 history and Hart has over 105 titles to his credit, including a Baja title and many ATV titles. Hart is pretty excited to joining-up with legendary driver Greaves and Monster Energy Toyota.
"I had several options this year, but this opportunity really stood out," said a happy Marty Hart from his Columbia, Louisiana base. "Johnny and Curt Greaves always have one of the best run programs in all of professional racing and I am honored to get to race that Toyota Pro 2 sitting in his garage. I know it will be fast so I'm getting ready to do my part. It's going to be fun."
Johnny Greaves Motorsports and The Off-Road Championship Series (TORC) kicks-off the 2011 season on April 30th-May 1st at Cycle Ranch in San Antonio, Texas. Johnny will defend his championship in 15 rounds of racing that will consist of several new venues including a trek to Charlotte Motor Speedway in Charlotte, NC in late July. The action will be streamed live via USAC's USTREAM portal.
Johnny will once again attack with his number 22 Monster Energy Pro 4×4 Toyota, with Marty Hart saddling up in the number 15 Pro 2WD Ready Lift Toyota, and CJ Greaves moving up to the Pro Light Truck class in the number 33 Traxxas Toyota. He will also defend his championship in the Super Buggy class.

Editorial: Bilderbergers Are Criminals, Traitors According to U.S. Law
ALL AMERICANS WHO PARTICIPATE in secret Bilderberg meetings are criminals and traitors. The Logan Act expressly forbids U.S. citizens to negotiate public policy with representatives of foreign governments. Thus, American officials and private citizens who participate are lawbreaking criminals.
U.S. and foreign government officials who attend are virtually all traitors because they put their world government goal ahead of the interests of their own nations. They scorn "nationalism" and work for "transnationalism." All Bilderberg "regulars" must support these goals or be ostracized. More than 100 of the 120 or so attendees are "regulars," invited every year. Typically, five or so participants are first-timers. A potential president is likely to be invited once but tossed aside when his political star dims, as former Vice President Dan Quayle can attest.

How to Minimize Heat Gain in Your Home
One way to save money this summer is by learning how to battle heat build-up, or heat gain, in your Hudson, MA, home. By taking a few steps you can minimize the amount of heat that gets trapped inside. This trapped heat can cause your AC to work harder and less efficiently. Here are a few ideas to help minimize this problem:
Poor insulation is one of the main reasons for heat gain. Properly maintained and up to date insulation will prevent hot air from getting in and cold air from getting out.
Windows need proper insulation and installation as well and are a common factor in inefficient cooling in the home.
Consider Repainting
Dark colors can absorb up to 90 percent of the sun's energy. Reflective coatings for the roof of your home are another solution for this problem. Consider repainting your home if your paint is too dark.
Shading Your Home
Rather than painting, blocking the sun from your home can keep out 90 percent of radiant energy.
Lastly, sparingly use your oven and other heat producing appliances.

I get the mikvah thing, but one of the most cherished gifts of being married is the non-sexual intimacy you get. During your non- touching time….What if you have a hard day and come home in tears? Hubby can't hold you while you cry it out! He can't kiss you goodnight or before you leave on a 5 day business trip. He can't snuggle while catch up on the news. He can't hold your hand while you get a tetanus shot. He can't wrap himself around you to keep you warm on a snowy night. The list goes on and on. Those things would break my heart. Those are the moments that make a marriage delicious from day to day.

The St. Patrick Parent Teacher Organization is a great way to
become involved with your child's education. Our teachers, families
and the school all benefit from the many successful PTO activities,
fundraisers and events throughout the school year. Team work is
essential for our PTO. We have many dedicated parents and
teachers who work together for the good of our students and school. Every
parent and teacher is already busy with families, careers, sports,
extra-curricular activities and other commitments but we work together to
accomplish our goals. The PTO consists of several smaller committees that
help to distribute the responsibilities. If you are looking for a way to
make a difference at St. Patrick School consider becoming involved with the
PTO. We are always looking for new members, new ideas and more involvement.
Take a look at the year in advance and our accomplishments to date. We find fun ways to celebrate our teachers
and staff, plan events for families that are useful, encourage community
building, and help provide a few extras for our school. Above all, we strive to
serve God, have fun, and build lasting friendships in all that we do.

This arrived today. It was advertised as a Victorian photograph on glass ie an ambrotype.
A strange size of 5×6 inches. Whats different about this one to the others in my collection is the ammount of colour on the plate. Usually they have faded with a trace of gold for the jewellery etc.
In this one, the person and partial background are painted beneath the varnish, but the pillar, plants and curtain etc are painted on the surface of the varnish? It makes for a very colourful 3D effect I've not seen before. Amazing.
If you'd like me to scan any details just let me know. Its quite a plate.

Rage on the Stage Tour
I Prevail bring their Rage on the Stage tour to NJ
It's that time of the year – with the summer festival season over music lovers look to the smaller venues and clubs to get there musical fix. One of the most talked about tour's this fall is none other than I Prevail's "Rage on the Stage" tour. It's not a surprise considering all the heavy hitters on the line-up! The tour features We Came as Romans (Sharptone Records), The Word Alive (Fearless Records) and Escape the Fate (Eleven Seven Music) so of course I headed to Sayerville, NJ Starland Ballroom to see what all the fuss was about.
I Prevail (Fearless Records) blasted their way onto the scene in 2014 with a metal cover of Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" right before dropping their debut EP "Heart vs. Mind." The song took off and so did the band. "Blank Space" sold over 500,000 singles and the EP sold an impressive 100,000 copies. Soon after the Detroit based band would go on to tour with bands like Hollywood Undead, Pierce the Veil, and many more.
The night started off with Escape the Fate. They bring it harder and harder every time no matter how big the stage. Led by frontman Craig Mabbit the band has an energy and loyal fanbase like any other. Craig ran out and wasted no time jumping into the song "Just a Memory" to start the set.
They just kept bringing the heavy and blasted through "Remember Every Scar" and "Gorgeous Nightmare," off their 2010 self-titled album.
The band closed out the set with their song "This War Is Ours" which sent kids flying over the barricade like a stampede.
Next up was The Word Alive. As the intro started, band members Tony Pizzuti (Guitar), Zack Hansen (Guitar), and Daniel Shapiro (Bass) made their way to the stage and the opening moments of the song "Misery" began with Escape the Fate's Craig Mabbit running out, this time without his flannel. Craig went on to perform the song with the other members of The Word Alive and now it's clear the audience thinks this is some sort of joke.
The song comes to a close and Craig says, "so you guys must be like wtf… well Telle is really sick and lost his voice so instead of canceling the guys asked me to fill in!" The crowd was a mix of cheers and sighs as surely disappointment hit for kids waiting to see lead singer Telle Smith. Craig proceeded to take out his smartphone and video the crowd screaming feel better Telle.
I will say as strange as this was to see, the songs sounded really great with Craig on vocals and the band played as tight as always. They went on to play five more songs before closing out the set with the song "Trapped."
The direct support of the evening would come from Michigan's own We Came as Roman's who it happened to be a very special night for them as they were hours away from releasing their new full length album Cold Like War, which if you're reading this you can officially pick it up now HERE! Everyone was all smiles as the intro played and the band made their way on stage.
Vocalists Dave Stephens and Kyle Pavone were ready to throw down with the NJ crowd. They kicked off the set with "Cold Like War" which saw bassist Andy Glass jumping off his riser and spinning his bass around as Dave stood on his ego-riser and belted the lyrics to a more than packed Starland Ballroom.
The one of many things I love about this band is the interaction with the fans. Kyle walked back and forth across the stage reaching for any fan that had their hand over the barricade.
The set included fan favorites like "Fade Away," "Lost in the Moment," and a cover of The Wanted's "Glad You Came," the crowd had nothing but love for WCAR and at the end of their final song the band thanked the crowd for always supporting them – which the massive crowed roared back at them as if to say, you're welcome.
It was time for the main event which is quite ironic because I Prevail had a WWE style wrestling ring on stage! The crowd during the set change sang along to "Because I Got High" by Afroman. Many crowd surfed while throwing glow sticks across the room for pretty much the entire 25 minute set change. The venue for a bit became a nightclub. You could literally feel the crowd's anticipation waiting for the band to hit the stage. It was then time, for the intro music which started at 9:35pm. As this was my first I Prevail headlining show I had no clue what to expect. When they came on stage they were short one member, clean vocalist Brian Burkheiser, was ill and currently not on the tour . The band ripped into "Come and Get It" with vocalist Eric Vanlerberghe screaming the lyrics "Every single time I turn around, my name is in your mouth." It felt as if the floor shook from all the movement in the crowd. As I looked behind me there were tons of kids swing dancing and crowd surfing their way over the rail for a high five. The energy and the excitement in the room was unparalleled. The crowd was so wild at one point I literally had a crowd surfer land on my head while I was photographing… and yes, it hurt.
The band went full force through songs like "Rise" and "Stuck in Your Head" only then pausing to address the absence of clean vocalist Brian Burkheiser by saying "Brian feels terrible that he can't be here but we didn't want to cancel this tour." The crowd agreed with screams and the band went right back to where they left off even performing the cover's "Get Low" by Lil Jon, "Shots" by LMFAO and of course the famous "Blank Space" cover by Taylor Swift as confetti shot from cannon's on each side of the stage. The set was finished out with "Lifelines" and the encore "Scars" and just like that I survived my first I Prevail experience.
This tour is one of the most bang for your buck for the Fall. Rage on the Stage hits a ton of major cities like Philadelphia, Hartford, New York and pretty much every place else across North America before wrapping up in Iowa on December 2nd. There's really no excuse to miss it as it hits a city near everyone so if you are looking to rage, stagedive, highfive, or get covered in confetti this is the tour for you.
See full gallery of the night.

What is the difference between a software bug and software defect?
Software QA/Testing Technical FAQs
(Continued from previous question...)
"Software bug" is nonspecific; it means an inexplicable defect, error, flaw, mistake, failure, fault, or unwanted behavior of a computer program. Other terms, e.g. "software defect", or "software failure", are more specific.
While the word "bug" has been a part of engineering jargon for many-many decades; many-many decades ago even Thomas Edison, the great inventor, wrote about a "bug" - today there are many who believe the word "bug" is a reference to insects that caused malfunctions in early electromechanical computers.
In software testing, the difference between "bug" and "defect" is small, and also depends on the end client. For some clients, bug and defect are synonymous, while others believe bugs are subsets of defects.
Difference number one: In bug reports, the defects are easier to describe.
Difference number two: In my bug reports, it is easier to write descriptions as to how to replicate defects. In other words, defects tend to require only brief explanations.
Commonality number one: We, software test engineers, discover both bugs and defects, before bugs and defects damage the reputation of our company.
Commonality number two: We, software QA engineers, use the software much like real users would, to find both bugs and defects, to find ways to replicate both bugs and defects, to submit bug reports to the developers, and to provide feedback to the developers, i.e. tell them if they've achieved the desired level of quality.
Commonality number three: We, software QA engineers, do not differentiate between bugs and defects. In our reports, we include both bugs and defects that are the results of software testing.

it started with one fabric....
Have you been to one of those fundraisers where you pay a set price, get a bag, and fill it with fabric that had been donated to the 'cause'? Well, that's how I got this piece of fabric.
It's ugly, in a nice kind of way, and I don't have anything in my stash to go with it; so it's chances of making it into a quilt were slim. Every now and then I find an ugly fabric that I just really like a lot, and this is one of them. It reminds me of the cushions my Mother made for around the kitchen table way back when. Not that the cusions were ugly, they were a cheater fabric also :)
Anyway, this print has been on top every time I go sift through my stash, so I decided to make a mug rug with it. I had two pieces close to fat quarter size, which was just about perfect.
I had solid red in my stash, but not a solid blue, so I used the wrong side of a blue-with-silver-sparkles fabric that I have.
Right now, I'm nearly done quilting my mug rug. When I finish it, I'll show you, ok? :)

Hello, everyone. This is my last issue for the 2018 school year! I'm so happy that so many of you are reading these letters. I hope that they are helpful for your future. Keep submitting questions and look to see if I respond to yours in the future!
Question: Is high school more laid back than middle school?
Dear bright students,
Not really. High school is very different from middle school. The teachers and curriculum are trying to prepare you for real life, so they give you a little more freedom and independence. However, this can me a blessing and a curse. Even though they give you more freedom, it becomes your responsibility to know when your assignments are due. Almost every day classwork is assigned in each class, so you have to make sure that you keep track of due dates. They also do not remind you every day if something is due.
Another thing that is different is that you have each class every other day so none of your assignments are directly due the next day. There are only four classes a day, but they are each 88 minutes long with a five minute passing time between them. If you miss class, it is your responsibility to make the work up. The teachers will not look for you to make sure that you are caught up.
One thing that you notice right away about high school is that you need to take responsibility for yourself. High school is one milestone on your journey to adulthood, and it should be taken seriously. Maturity is one of the things that you learn, but is never taught.
Best Wishes!
