I have achieved a really nice character who maby dabbles in forbidden magic... but enough braging I was looking though my saves and for fun I decided to try and load one of the auto saves that was generated... it let me do it. It goes to some time in the month of Kapsus. It seems slightly broken in that whenever I try and look at different weeks it goes to my last week of the year, however i can press the today button to see that point again. The actions and stuff work as normal and I still have all my stats and stuff. I suppose my question is weather I sould be worried about? Is my character in some sort of time anomolus error? Note: there are even unique holidays like temerance day on the far side I will try to keep an eye on this but no promices Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Content of the Article
CrossFit workouts can be very tough as they test the limits of your strength, speed and endurance. Whether it is a joint training or individual training. What really matters at CrossFit is to prove yourself and to get ahead of yourself. These six ultra-demanding workout of the day (WODs) are going to push you to the limit. You dare to try them? If you're looking for something for beginners, try one of these five Crossfit trainings.
A basic element of the CrossFit is the FILTHY 50. It's a brutal series of exercises that can seem endless because of the degree of demand, if it's your first time doing them. The circuit includes fifty repetitions of ten different exercises, all of which must be performed as quickly as possible.
It consists of doing:
- 50 box jumps with a box about six centimeters long.
- 50 dominated with a jump.
- 50 kettlebell swings.
- 50 strides walking.
- 50 knees to the elbows.
- 50 push press reiterations (20kg).
- 50 back extensions.
- 50 medical balloon throw to the wall with a 9kg ball.
- 50 burpees (dropping the whole body on the floor).
- 50 double unders.
This training becomes a good job because it conveys every single foundation and nonsense of CrossFit.
The Filthy 50 is considered a challenge because of its high demand for exercise. This is a full body workout that includes large doses of cardio.
Doing so many exercises can be difficult, so keeping pace and focusing on the exercise in question is undoubtedly the best option.
Naturally, this can be altered and adapted to your level, making fewer repetitions of each exercise and also trying to make twenty or twenty-five repetitions of each one and also increasing them little by little.
The training time is 25 minutes.
Fran is a WOD based on a series of thrusters and dominoes made as fast as possible. This is a shorter training that includes three rounds:
- First round: twenty-one repetitions of each exercise.
- Second round: fifteen repetitions of each exercise.
- Third round: nine repetitions of each exercise.
Fran is one of the first WODs that people use to expose themselves or to get started with CrossFit. This is not to say that it is not difficult enough, ?the dominated ones are undoubtedly the most difficult part of this WOD? It is more difficult for women to compete on an equal footing with men.
The training time is five minutes longer and can change depending on the weight you are working with.
Quite a simple, if relentless, training. It's about:
- Run a mile and a half.
- Do a hundred pull-ups.
- 200 push-ups.
- 300 squats.
- Go back a mile.
As with virtually all CrossFit training, it should be done as quickly as possible. The pull-ups can be altered if necessary.
Elite CrossFit athletes do it all in a weight vest.
The name of this training comes from Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy. Who was killed in the course of his service in Afghanistan.
This training won't teach you exercises you don't already know; what changes is the fact that they are all done in exactly the same training. The key is to maintain a rhythm, especially during the first few exercises.
In addition to this it must be stressed that the last kilometer is the most difficult part. The fact that you have to run to the limit and to the maximum power to reach the finish line, but that's when you feel the most wimpy.
The training time is forty minutes, but if it is done in forty-five minutes it continues to be good.
The seven, you have to do the exercises as quickly as possible. It's a seven-round circuit.
Each round includes:
- 7 handstand push-ups.
- 7 thrusters with 60kg.
- 7 knee-elbows.
- 7 repetitions of dead weight with 110kg.
- 7 burpees.
- 7 kettlebell swings.
- 7 dominated.
Each piece of this WOD brings a new challenge and it is up to you to be ready to give more of yourself, as there are 7 rounds. The hardest part is the handstand push-ups. There are multiple ways to alter handstand flexions if you can't do them but want to continue facing the circuit.
The Ryan has a duration of five rounds, executed as quickly as possible. Each round includes:
- 7 muscle-ups.
- 21 burpees.
The name of this WOD comes from CrossFit enthusiast Ryan Hummert, who was killed by snipers as he was responding to a call.
The most essential thing about this WOD is the mastery of the muscle-up.
Not enough people know the technique to do it, so whoever is able to execute one properly already tries a commitment to CrossFit training. That said, this training requires the help of a trainer to acquire the technique, if it is not available. Once you learn it, this circuit will give you another challenge gone.
The training time should be less than 25min, once you are experienced you will be able to go down to 15min.
The KING-KONG is a fast training. This kind of training is for real CrossFit monsters, if you don't have the strength to lift enough weight you don't have a chance with this WOD.
This training is done with 3 rounds, which you must fill as quickly as possible.
- 1 repetition of dead weight with in 200kg.
- 2 muscle-ups.
- 3 cleans with 120kg.
- 4 handstand push-ups.
Numbers talk for themselves. Making any part of this WOD is an achievement in itself. For those who have reached this WOD, the weight of death and cleans are usually the biggest challenges. Most people are directly unable to lift the dead weight.

We have had some birthday celebrations around here lately.
Gracyn came up from Arkansas to stay a week last month, so we celebrated her 5th birthday while she was here.
We had a cookout and birthday cake and ice cream at her Aunt Kayli's house.
All her cousins were there!!
The picture above on the right is Gracyn with her great grandparents.
I also threw a surprise 50th birthday party for Big Ran.
We had a Miami Dolphin cake and Mountain Dew cupcakes on the desert table.
I made a 50 sign with pictures of him on it.
He received some great old man gifts!!!
I don't know if you have noticed or not , but Big Ran has grown a "Soul Patch" on his chin since he has retired from the Army Reserve.
He is very proud!
He joined the Army Reserve when he was 18, so this is the first time he has had to grow facial hair.
So to honor his "Soul Patch", I bought those stick on mustaches and cut them to look like soul patches for everyone to wear.
Fun time!!
I wish I had taken more pictures!!!
My cousin, Joni and her son, Dakota on the right and Big Ran's coach from high school, Gerald Bond on the left.
We all had a great time!

It has been reported that there are over 5 million young adults between the ages of 18-35 living alone, and the powers that be are saying the number is growing. That's here in the US, but the situation is similar all over the world. With many, of course, that is by their own choice, but it still can be isolating, lonely.
Most young people are into being social. Now, there are the bars and clubs, Facebook and Twitter, etc, but what about those who find it hard to engage in those activities? There are plenty of companion robots now for the elderly who have isolations issues, but now what about the younger people? Well. . .
Now comes Fribo.
Roboticists from Yonsei University and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in Korea, have built a robot called Fribo, which is designed to provide a way for young adults who live alone to maintain daily connections with one another. This little robot listens to what goes on in your life and helps keep you connected with your outside world. This little guy has sensors for illumination, ultrasonics, sound, temperature and humidity. It also has LCD, speakers, a microphone, and the Raspberry Pi3. Fribo can hear all the noise going on around you and is actually able to determine what the noises are, from vacuum cleaners to which doors are opening and closing. It even recognizes your pets, from fish splashing in the aquarium to the dog barking. And he keeps it all separated from the noises you make. Interesting.
Now here's the real interesting part: if you have a network of friends who all have Fribos, when one friend does anything at all in their home, their Fribo will communicate that to your Fribo and then your Fribo will tell you all about it. It tells all your friends' Fribos all about it. But the message will not say who precisely has done that activity, only that someone has. If you're interested in who it was, you can let them know by a communication system you can set up with everyone in your robot network and the robots will let that person know. If that person wants to talk, your robot will let you know who responded. So actually, Fribo is more for providing prompts that encourages social interactions, giving reasons for doing that. By doing that, Fribo gives you reminders from time to time that there are other people out there in the world who care about you.
The researchers let some three people friend groups of young adults try out an earlier version of Fribo for four weeks. The groups reported back that the robots helped them feel more connected to their friends, helped them feel as if they weren't living so alone. Some of them even said it was as if the robot was a living being and they would even talk to it.
The researchers believe the participants participating in the study experienced a sense of realism of their friends because of the information delivered by Fribo in real time, which then brought a sense of co-residence. This indicates that Fribo provided them with virtual living space they felt they shared with their friends. The difference is, Fribo is a kind of middleman. Social distance from friends can be adjusted according to however the user wants. He/she can control the amount of information shared by setting up the robot. The user can filter out information that one does not want to share, such as in the bathroom or phone conversations. The robot can then selectively recognize those activities and eliminate them from its memory.
The test was done in Korea, so the researches aren't sure how the robot will be received in other countries. They would like to try it out and see, but they also want to try a longer period of study, such as a year and with family groups as well as friend groups. A lot of interest is being generated, though, in this little guy because it's likely to be inexpensive and everyone likes the privacy part. Quite frankly, I think it would be nice to be able to keep up with family and friends who live at long distances away from each other. Way to go, KAIST.

Rue La La: Reebok shoes for $9 + shipping
If you still have the $20 credit and are in the market for running shoes, run over to Rue La La, choose the Reebok sale, sort items from "Price Low to High" and make your purchase.
There are still a number of women's and men's styles available for $29, which would be $9 + shipping after your credit (the men's shoes are in a separate sale — look for "Reebok Men's Shoes"). You're looking at less than $20 for a pair of Reebok's. Not bad.
These shoes are selling out fast, so please get over there before the selection dwindles even more.

Only one pic today, the sony sp is still in the shop they can't fix it so i'm getting it back broken. I'm an idiot for buying a sony.
things done today, two patchs for the land rover, a dolomite 1500 turned up as a spares car for the Sprint, An SRAD 600 is dumping the coolant into the sump so we got some trouble shooting done on the oil pump and the oil cooler.
Best thing done today, got the racer 90 ready for road, made a bracket for some random coil and chucked it on.
Bit of petrol and away she went! took off race plates and stickers next, on the road that stuff will just get attention. Not sure if super shocks will get through scrutineering so i'll try to find something less conspicuous.
Raise the compression, jet up a little, go win some races!

ABERDEEN, S.D. (AP) The man who once ran South Dakota's scandal-ridden investment-for-visa program has reached a deal with prosecutors in a high-profile financial misconduct case.
The Aberdeen American News (http://bit.ly/2kS65y3 ) reports that 53-year-old Joop (yope) Bollen pleaded guilty Wednesday to one of five felony counts he was facing.
Bollen, of Aberdeen, had previously pleaded innocent. He was accused of diverting more than $1.2 million from an account created as part of a contract with the state to protect it against costs or liability from the EB-5 visa program.
Authorities say the money was mostly replenished.
The charges dealt with a company Bollen founded that had handled South Dakota's participation in the EB-5 visa program. Bollen was scheduled to go to trial in February.

When you've got your grill ready to go but need a quick appetizer to feed your guests, throw on this tasty garlic herb shrimp to make some delicious crostini.
"These grilled crostini are ideal for backyard summer hangouts. You can prep the tomatoes and grill the baguette ahead of time, then toss the shrimp on the grill once everyone is ready to start snacking," shares Tom Filippou, executive chef for President's Choice cooking school.
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, chopped
• 2 tbsp olive oil divided
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh basil
• Pinch (0.5 mL) salt
• Half baguette, sliced diagonally into ¼-inch/5-mm thick rounds (12 to 15 slices)
• 1 pkg (340 g) frozen PC garlic and herb grilling raw butterflied shrimp
• 2 tbsp (25 mL) pesto
1. Stir together tomatoes, 1 tbsp oil, basil and salt in small bowl.
2. Preheat grill to medium heat. Brush both sides of baguette slices with remaining 1 tbsp oil, dividing evenly. Arrange in single layer on grill. Cook, turning once, until grill-marked, about 4 minutes. Transfer to large plate. Set aside.
3. Brush grill with oil. Arrange frozen shrimp, shell side down, in single layer on grill. Close lid and cook over medium heat, turning halfway through cooking time, until opaque throughout and shells are pink.
4. Spread pesto over top of baguette, dividing evenly. Top with shrimp and tomato mixture.
Chef's Tip: No barbecue? Arrange baguette slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and drizzle with oil; bake in 200°C oven, flipping baguette once, until crispy and light golden; about 6 minutes. Set aside. Arrange shrimp, shell side down, on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet; bake in 230°C oven until opaque throughout and shells are pink. – newscanada

How To Parent Self Centred Kids
Resident expert Rachel Doherty answers a ParentTV members question.
"I have 3 daughters (4,7 and 10) I am also single Mum (for the last 4 years). My oldest daughter, Sophie, is very selfish and I would say narcissistic to a degree (her Dad is and favours her) so she seems very self-entitled and will argue and manipulate constantly. She can be lovely but is generally the one who puts a "downer' on any family time by creating drama. Please help – spending time with and giving her special times with her friends seems to reinforce her need to be No. 1 in our family. Thanks very much."

The Lead
Environmentalists in Quebec succeeded in winning a temporary injunction against any more preparatory drilling by TransCanada Corp. in the company's development of an oil export terminal in Cacouna, Quebec yesterday. New Democrat MPs have asked the government during question period in recent weeks why the terminal, which would link TransCanada's Energy East pipeline to world markets, should be allowed to impact the environment before going through a regulatory process with the National Energy Board.
The Climate Summit in New York has come and gone, with a host of commitments from companies and governments to show for it. While the agreements are not anything like the treaty nations have to sign on greenhouse gas emissions next year in Paris, at least one commentator is saying the summit is a big improvement from the results of the Copenhagen climate change meeting in 2009.
The Canadian government highlighted that existing regulations to curb car and light truck emissions were soon coming into effect at the summit, but also adopted a communications strategy which involves patting itself on the back for its policies without ever mentioning the rise in emissions from the oil and gas production.
If the energy sector thought having Liberal Leader Brian Gallant win the New Brunswick election on Monday was bad news (he opposes fracking,) they'll also have to contend with David Coon, the Green leader who won the party's first seat in Frederiction this week. Coon is an opponent of TransCanada's Energy East pipeline, which will run through the province's west. Meanwhile, Gallant isn't hiding the fact that legal action from shale gas explorers could be on the way over the fracking moratorium.
Chief Roland Willson of the West Moberly First Nations, Chief Liz Logan of the Fort Nelson First Nation and Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs are holding a news conference today on Parliament Hill at 1 p.m. to explain why they oppose the construction of the Site C hydroelectric project in northeastern British Columbia. The B.C. government has to choose between building LNG projects or the dam but it can't have both, Willson has said.
Closer to the Pacific Ocean, First Nations are preparing for jobs in the mining sector, according to the Vancouver Sun. The Sun also has a long feature on Ian Tefler, head of Goldcorp Inc., the world's largest gold producer.
Suncor has sent the first shipment of Western Canadian crude to Europe. Energy exports to Europe have gained interest among Canadian policy-makers as they've sought a solution to Eastern and Central Europe's dependency on Russian natural gas as an energy source.
Canadian miners are struggling in a world flooded with metals and a slowing Chinese economy.
And following the city of Burnaby's failed attempt to get an injunction against preparatory work by Kinder Morgan in its expansion of Trans Mountain pipeline, the flashpoint will be raised during a meeting of the Union of B.C. Municipalities today.
Alberta Premier Jim Prentice has certainly been voicing his opinions on the Northern Gateway pipeline a lot these days.
A week ago, he said he plans to showcase Alberta's productive relationship with First Nations as a means to get the Enbridge Inc. project moving ahead. And now he's suggesting that Kitimat, Northern Gateway's terminus, may not be the best port for the pipeline to reach.
Why does Alberta's premier seem so keen on voicing opinion over a private project whose main obstacle is opposition in a province he doesn't govern? Does Prentice know something we don't?
"Without knowing how the pieces of the puzzle fit together, it's not clear to me why he's making these comments," Andrew Leach, a professor of energy policy at the University of Alberta, told the Calgary Herald. "But I think you do want, as an overarching view, to remember that this is not an Alberta government project."
The only two potential oil projects in the region not in Kitimat are the Pacific Future Energy refinery and another refinery proposed by Aquilini Investment Group in Prince Rupert. Stockwell Day, who serves as strategic advisor to the Pacific Future Energy project, was in Ottawa this morning to pitch the project to the Economic Club of Canada. Check iPolitics.ca tomorrow for an interview with Day on what he thinks of the myriad political pressures involved in the B.C. energy sector.

Gold Forecast: Upcoming Economic Dates to Watch
Although forecasting the price of gold is a bit like trying to forecast the weather months removed from any individual storm or event, there are certain trends we can follow. And there are also set dates in which economic events are scheduled to take place, which in turn give us some insight on the potential hinges on which the future price of gold may rotate.
To forecast the performance of gold in this second quarter, let's take a look at some upcoming important dates that all investors—not just gold investors—should watch.
Federal Reserve Calendar
If the Federal Reserve's calendar isn't on your bookmarks list, now might be the time to do it. The calendar even includes an asterisk for those meetings of the Federal Reserve that are associated with a "Summary of Economic Projections," which in turn include a press conference by the chair. That means that the next important dates to watch will come in mid-June, the 13th and the 14th, as the Federal Reserve meets to decide on whether or not to raise interest rates again.
A rise in interest rates, of course, can be generally pessimistic for the price of gold. This is no guarantee, of course, but there are certainly investors out there who wait until such news in order to "buy on the dip." This strategy, of course, ignores what might happen until that date, so it's not always a prudent idea.
May 18th: Weekly Jobless Claims Report
A week from today, Thursday, May 18th, the weekly jobless claims report is scheduled to be released, which in turn will serve as a gauge of the economy as a whole. You might notice what an immediate impact that job reports tend to have on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Since gold is one of the most popular hedge investments out there, anything that affects the market at large will have secondary effects on the movement in gold price.
You'll notice this is a weekly release. Today's jobless claims report showed that jobless claims are continuing to fall to lows—but the market is down this morning, while gold is slightly up. That's a good warning to remember that there are more elements in the economy as a whole that will affect gold prices.
June 8th: National Elections in the U.K.
You might ask yourself what national elections in the U.K. have to do with gold. But as last year's Brexit vote showed, international news can have a dramatic influence on where investors move their money—including to gold or not. Although the national elections in the U.K. don't promise to have anything in store for the markets quite of the effect of Brexit, they still bear watching.
The Wall Street Journal notes the recent moves of the Bank of England while offering a brief mention of these elections. Also interesting will be the country's negotiations as it removes itself from European Union ties. It appears that the markets are cautiously optimistic about the future for now, which can drive down investment hedging into gold. But as summer approaches, these dates will be key.

Ian Bremmer
President and Founder of the Eurasia Group
What are the World's Biggest Political Risks Today?
About the Topic
2014 Elizabeth French Hitchcock Lecture
About the Speaker
In a world with fraying coordination between major powers and a lack of effective global leadership, geopolitical flare-ups are burning brighter, for longer, more often. And such turmoil, from Syria to Ukraine, only perpetuates this leadership vacuum. For the first time since the financial crisis, the blockbuster economic risks-such as the possibility that the Eurozone would implode, that China would suffer a hard landing, or that the United States' economic recovery would crumble under a mountain of growing debts and Washington gridlock-have all been assuaged. Instead, political concerns are overwhelmingly driving the world's risk landscape. Ian Bremmer will take a tour of the world's most prevalent geopolitical flashpoints, weaving them into the broader risk context that will drive debate for the coming months.

- Substance – Protein (meat and/or seafood), veges and starch (rice)
- Flavour – Onion, garlic and tomato (aka Sofrito: the holy trinity of Spanish cuisine)

When done right, this one pan dish is absolutely amazing!

July 2019
A FOURTH OF JULY FOR THE BOOKS E ver since I was old enough to celebrate it, the Fourth of July has been a holiday I look forward to all year round. As a child, I spent the day with
an average depth of 51 feet and a maximum depth of 141 feet. This Montanian treasure might not be the largest lake you've ever come across, but, with the majestic Glacier National Park as a backdrop, it's probably the most beautiful. From the moment we awoke on July 4, 2018 to the moment we shut our eyes that night, we made the most out of the dreamy location around us. We spent several glorious and sunny hours water skiing and tubing behind the boat. Then, once we worked up our hunger, we went ashore to spark up the barbecue and cook some amazing food. We spent the rest of the evening watching a spectacular fireworks show put on by families staying at the lake. As I was sitting there, soaking in all the energy, enthusiasm, and happiness surrounding me that day, I remember thinking about how great it is that all Americans have a day specifically set aside to celebrate our country. Over 200 years ago, all our countrymen joined forces to ensure our future as an independent nation. Unfortunately, Americans now are more politically divided than ever before. I hope this year everyone is able to set aside their differences to celebrate the sacrifices our forefathers made all those years ago to ensure we could live in a free country. To you and to your families, have a fun-filled and safe Independence Day! –Elizabeth Packard
my family and friends inhaling all the magic that the fireworks, delicious food, and water activities drudged up to the surface. I went from one moment of excitement straight to the next. I can't remember a better night's sleep than the ones that came after my Fourth of July revelry. While a fair number of amazing memories swirl around in my mind this time of year, there was one Independence Day celebration that sticks out a little better than the rest, and it occurred just last year!

Using Social Network Analysis To Optimize Access To Culturally Responsive And Affordable Transportation For Older (Im)Migrants
Rebecca Mauldin, University of Texas, Arlington
Stephen Mattingly, University of Texas, Arlington
Rupal Parekh, University of Connecticut
Nearly 4.6 million immigrants age 65 years and older live in the United States. This population is expected to more than triple in size by 2050. A lack of culturally appropriate transportation solutions for older immigrants and migrants (i.e., (im)migrants) creates disparities in access to services for older (im)migrant populations, increasing their risk of social isolation and reduced physical and mental health. Transportation disparities also have negative ripple effects to other sectors including businesses and social service organizations. A growing number of older (im)migrants live in low-density urban environments, which are characterized by high automobile dependency and limited public transportation. In these environments, older (im)migrants are likely to depend on others to provide private transportation. In fact, it is common for older adults to rely on people within their social networks to meet their transportation needs. Negative aspects of this reliance on others are that the private transportation providers may be at risk for caregiver burden and stress, and older (im)migrants' may be vulnerable to transportation disadvantage if their informal caregivers are unable to provide transportation to social or health opportunities. Senior centers are promising social environments in which to enhance older (im)migrant's mobility options through their social networks. This proposed research uses social network analysis to examine older (im)migrants' access to transportation knowledge and resources and how it relates to their existing social networks in senior centers. It has the following aims: (1) to identify the prevalence of affordable transportation and transportation knowledge and skills among older (im)migrants and their transportation providers, (2) to assess the caregiver burden associated with providing private transportation to older (im)migrants, and (3) to create a prototype intervention model for leveraging or modifying older (im)migrants social networks to increase access to transportation resources, knowledge, and skills. Its long-term goal is to enhance mobility options and increase access to social and health opportunities for older (im)migrants. Results will increase the knowledge of older (im)migrant's access to transportation resources and their caregiver's transportation-related burden. They will also inform the development of a social network intervention model to increase access to transportation resources for diverse older (im)migrants.
The research is expected to impact practice and policy for three main groups: practitioners, policy makers, and researchers. 1. Practitioners: Community-based organizations recognize transportation to their activities is critical for their programs to survive. The results of this study can provide practitioners with increased knowledge of the barriers for older (im)migrants who access their programs. The prototype network intervention model can provide preliminary evidence for ways in which practitioners can leverage or modify the social networks of their program members to increase their mobility. This can increase participation in programs and directly benefit program participants through increased access to opportunities. 2. Policy Makers: Results can provide policy makers with information that can assist in evaluations and cost effectiveness analyses of existing or proposed transportation systems. For example, findings will include information about levels of knowledge and skills for accessing existing transportation systems, barriers to utilization, and hidden costs (e.g., lost productivity) associated with caregivers such as adult children providing transportation to older adults. The intervention developed during this study may provide a low-cost alternative for jurisdictions to use to serve vulnerable older adult populations without relying on inefficient para transit services. 3. Academic and Research Community: Social network interventions to improve the health and well-being of individuals are gaining increased attention in the academic/research community. This research can inform other researchers interested in social network interventions to support a broad spectrum of information and resource needs. In addition, the findings will add to the knowledge of access to affordable transportation and health and well-being of older (im)migrants.

7:00: Bill Anderson; Brett Eldredge
7:30: Connie Smith; Easton Corbin
8:15: Jackie Lee; Marty Stuart

Enjoy the Opry this weekend!!!

From Anonymous in PA: I am with you 100 percent. Actually, the Tue, Sep 30 Opry is better than the weekend. As I said before, I'm dreading what the final line-up for the Anniversary weekend will be - and here we are 2 weeks out and very little is identified and I don't like what they have so far listed.ReplyDelete

We used to drive down to Nashville annually to see a show. Not worth my time to do that anymore.......more money for tickets and fewer Opry member appearances. This does not look good.ReplyDelete

The Friday Night 'Opry is now the Tuesday Night 'Opry (8 performers, 15 minutes each).ReplyDelete
TWO 'Opry members Friday night (Vince and Connie).
Say goodbye to the 'Opry as us old old folks remember it.
On another topic, this Thursday Night's 'Opry Country Classics has only five artists listed, ONE 'Opry member (Connie). Wow.
Having said that, it looks like a darned good show, with Sara Darling, Jim Lauderdale, Connie Smith, Charlie McCoy, and everybody's favorite Chris Janson. I'm sorry, the devil made me throw Chris in there.
I am probably better off just playing Cracker Barrel Opry Classic Cds and making my own Opry at home than listening to this ...........ReplyDelete
Ya, it's not hardly worth the time or effort anymore. The last time I was back in town I didn't even bother to tune in on the radio. On the flip side, I'm glad to see Amber Digby getting an Opry slot. Here's a girl that has a great voice and a country music pedigree like no other. Her dad is Dennis Digby who was one of the funniest people I've ever met and was Loretta Lynn's bass player and road manager for 20 years. Her mom sang harmony for Connie Smith at one time and her stepdad is Dickey Overbey who has played steel guitar for Connie Smith and Ronnie Milsap. She's also the niece of Darrell, Diane and Dennis McCall so she comes from a long line of talent. She's done the Midnight Jamboree a number of times but it's nice to see her get exposure to a wider audience. THIS is the kind of talent the Opry should have been showcasing all along instead of the pop-star-goin'-country flavor of the month (just my 2 cents).ReplyDelete
Well, I might as well join the chorus. Again, I don't mind experiments or change. Even granting that the Friday Night Frolics started about 65 years ago, I think of the Saturday night Opry as sacrosanct. But nobody in the current management considers anything about the Opry sacrosanct. One might think that after his supposedly heartfelt tributes to Jimmy C. Newman and George Hamilton IV, Pete Fisher might stop to think that while the legends don't have to be on ALL the time, they deserve some respect. But that would have required him to listen to what he was saying.ReplyDelete

Barry-Amen on Amber Digby and "this is the kind of talent the Opry should have been showcasing all along". I know that can't be all the Opry is but that hard core country should certainly have a bigger cut of the show and we know there is the talent out there to do it.ReplyDelete
As far as Fisher and the tributes, I think he is sincere, but, Walter Cronkite reported the news every night for twenty of years, just gave a no nonsense facts based news and we or at least I never knew until he retired or passed just how opinionated he was. He was doing his job and left his personal feelings or politics out of it. So?

Regarding Skeeter Davis' first appearance on the Opry, the accident that killed Betty Jack Davis was on August 2, 1953. It's been a few years since I read her autobiography, but I think that may have been her first performance since the wreck. At any rate, I know that moving forward without Betty Jack was very difficult for her. To complicate things further, Betty Jack's mother tried to force her other daughter into the Davis Sisters act. Skeeter worked with her until 1956.ReplyDelete
First, the Skeeter Davis autobiography is a good one. I recommend it.ReplyDelete
As far as the Opry on Friday, this is another issue in how they schedule the veterans who can host segments. I know some of the regular ones who host are out doing shows this weekend, but you still could have brought in Jean Shepard or Ray Pillow. I am sure The Whites were available as they really don't do any live shows anymore. How about Mike Snider? He is still staying away from the Opry.
This just shows where the Opry is at today. They couldn't, or didn't want to, bring in just 2 more to host. I put the blame directly on Steve Buchanan and Pete Fisher for this.
How about this? No new members since Old Crow Medicine Show and that has been over a year now? Is it a case of nobody wants to be an Opry member or they are not asking the right people? (and we all know who those would be).
The birthday bash this year is looking slim again. I checked some of the schedules of Opry members for the birthday weekend, and a lot of the veterans that you would expect to see are out on the road. 3 weeks out and the same names listed.

I am trying, as an a 50 year Opry listener to warm up to Chris Janson. He seems very talented, has a feel for the country spirit, but tends to shout most of his songs. Maybe a ballad or two where he actually sings in a normal voice would help. And yes, adding some of the Opry's frequent guests like Rhonda Vincent, Suzy Bogguss, and others previously mentioned in posts would help bolster the show.ReplyDelete
What about the most country female artist Leona Williams becoming an Opry member ???? What a fantastic and totally country singer. Has she offended Opry management some way or another ????

So, how was Mac? Through a cruel fate, I had company Friday night and was unable to listen. Thanks.
Fred, Mac sounded great. He did 3 songs and received a standing ovation. Eddie Stubbs gave him a very nice introduction.ReplyDelete

Thanks, Byron. I'm sure grateful that Mac is still with us and he can still bring it. Did you make a note (mental or otherwise) of the songs he sang?

My pool is 10m long. It seems to not calculate right. I tried to change the settings . It says put the distance in metres/yards. I put 10. But no way to choose metres.
Jo-ann de la Mare
11 agosto 2020
It's good but needs a little work, changing from yards to meters needs explaining. Also can't work out how it shows only 6 mins moving time, a distance of 600m but 908m covered? Apart from that it's a good guide if you don't have the Garmin open water app.
10 agosto 2020
I am unhappy with this app. Because the app doesn't regonized the GPS data and location.
Richard Winder
9 agosto 2020
Works very well if you are prepared to use it as a general guide. Distance and heart rate may not be accurate but this can be due to external factors such as GPS and water. I do not have the strap hr monitor but imagine accuracy would be fine if I did. I recommend as at least it recognises an open water swim which the watch does not do on its on. Easy to use and provides lots of information.
8 agosto 2020
The data fields are interesting and the easy to change. The GPS needs work and is all over the place comparing to Garmin Open Water activity which after some updates are really good. I also suggest a better start/stop function for the activity.
8 agosto 2020
this app has been one of the best installation that I had made in my Garmin. I bought this watch just for running purpose, but later on, making some research on the internet, I found this app to measure my swimming training (because also I swim), and after trying different alternatives, I stick with this app for many reasons: The GPS is the most accurate comparing to other swim apps, giving the exact distance A lot of data field yo play with it, choosing whatever you want to see The pool settings works perfectly, using different sensors to know when the pool's lap ends Many other reasons that makes this app so Good

I love the app and the gps view that shows me the lake and the lines that I am swimming. It helps me with my sighting. The yardage errors on the high side. I registered 2900 yards this morning while a friend had Garmin outdoor swim app that was 1900 yards. I will continue to use. Cheers

Simple to get up and running without change. Configuring looks a bit daunting though. Shared with my swim buddy. I have a Wahoo ant+ HR belt but can't find out how to link it.
7 agosto 2020
I used this for the first time tonight. Seemed fairly accurate, although the accuracy will depend on the specific watch and the rate the watch is pinging satellites. I swam a supposed to be 1.2 mile course and my watch showed 1.4 which may have been the case since it was very choppy out tonight. I'm looking forward to trying it more. It is a little learning curve on how to stop the watcj and make sure everything is locked up. Lots of data screens if you are into that kind of thing

If I am swimming with cardio atcivity on tells me higher hearth rate than this app, wheres the problem?
Martin Ohlson

Looks good at first glance but in reality its not very useful. Using it on my Vivoactive 4, which doesnt have native open water swimming. As mentioned by many others the distance is way off and the app distances differ from what gets uploaded in the end. I know I'm swimming 250m lengths (Google maps) and the app mostly shows the correct length, but when its uploaded its substracted by about half, so each length is about 125m instead. Sometimes it doesn't pick up a lap at all, so both the time and distance looks like it was paused during a lap. Too bad this isnt working properly, since it seems to be affect by bugs, not faulty sensors, so the developer should be able to correct it...
6 agosto 2020
It's a good app if your watch haven't the option for open water. A possible improvement could be make a more friendly UI. It will be great to get basic info in just one quick look while you are usin it!
6 agosto 2020
The app works fine what I expected I am glad that we have a serious app for openwater swimming. The onlything that I can find is that the distance may not really accurate. The distance in the watchscreen is 100 till 200 meters higher than the final information in Connect. Does this have to do with something with gps and water?
Chloe Johnson
5 agosto 2020
Very useful app, especially if you have a watch that does not recognise open water swimming as an activity. I haven't been able to convert from yards to meters; otherwise it would be a 5* app review from me.

Works very well if you are prepared to use it as a general guide. Distance and heart rate may not be accurate but this can be due to external factors such as GPS and water.

Classic carts that'll mix up cocktail hour
Cocktails are timeless, and the way in which we display the fixings shouldn't be any different. Provided you've got the space (and can't you almost always make room for something like this?) a bar cart is the go-to way for parading liquor bottles and commingling cocktail goodies from glasses to shakers, napkins to olives.
Stationary setups are suitable for casual purposes, but a movable option has its advantages, especially when a soiree is involved.
Get things rolling with the Bungalow 5 Normandy Bar Cart, $975, from Candelabra. Fitted with casters for easy scooting, it sports a gold and faux bamboo finish that plays beautifully off vintage trends. A pair of roomy, oval-mirrored trays provide ample space to store everything you need for throwing together boozy libations. The cart measures 32 inches long by 18 inches wide and 34 inches high.
Equally mobile, the Mrs. Lilien, $550, from Society Social takes the party uptown. Graphic handcrafted iron in gleaming gold frames a couple of oval glass trays. The bottom level has built-in wine bottle storage. A bit more petite than the Normandy, this smart-looking performer measures about 26 inches long, 17 inches wide and 34 inches high.
Whether your style is Old Fashioned or Manhattan, either cart will be a toast-worthy addition come happy hour.

text: Hello everyone! I like most of you I'm sure, am fascinated with alternate Histories. When it comes to WW2 alternate histories and What if's, I love them! Today's what if I'm sure you have heard before, but I would love to here your input on what could have happened. Germany Invaded Poland on September 1st 1939 to start WW2 in Europe. Britain and France had promised Poland prior to the invasion they would come to their aid if attacked by Germany.............That aid never came. From what I understand, and have read, the British and French easily outnumbered the German Army in terms of personnel. What I'm not overly clear on is whether the British or French were even capable of mobilizing fast enough to actually help Poland out at all. But For this What if? I'm curious what you guys think would happen if the British and French did in fact help Poland and faced off against the Germans, and maybe even the Russians? Many historians believe if the Allies were willing and able to help the Polish, WW2 could have ended right then and there. What are your thoughts? Any and all responses are appreciated -Wilson
