There's no other type of window treatment that gives you the style, the control, the elegance, and the function of plantation shutters. For taller windows, the answer is simple: tier on tier.
Blinds and curtains are okay in certain circumstances, but they just can't compare to plantation shutters. If you own your home, shutters can increase the curb appeal because they tie the room together.
Are you ready to learn about how tier on tier shutters compare to other types of shutters, and everything else that's crucial to know before proceeding?
We'll also give you some information on how to install these shutters and what's involved in the process. If you want to learn about getting some for your own home, we can help with that too.
What are Tier on Tier Shutters?
Tier on tier shutters are also known as double hung shutters because they're essentially two sets of shutters attached to cover one large window. The mid-rail helps keep them sturdy and allows for separation between the top half and the bottom half. Due to each section having its own tilt rod, you can have the top and bottom sets of shutters open to different degrees.
Also, with hinged shutters, you can swing the top or bottom open as well. This gives you the most control over how much sunshine gets into your home. Want your houseplants to be happy? Wide open! Time to watch a movie? Close them up!
Every Detail Matters To Us
Here's what you need to know about different parts of the shutter and why they matter. We love plantation shutters, it's our specialty and we're always excited to have the opportunity to share what we know.
- Slats: The slats are the horizontal bars that open and shut. They come in different sizes. For tier-on-tier shutters, you'll likely want to choose a style with taller slats because smaller ones can look a little too "busy" on larger windows. Smaller slats work great on smaller windows, but at the end of the day it's all about personal preference. We can manufacture something to accommodate your unique taste and style.
- Tilt tods: The tilt rod is used to open and close all of the slats on the shutter in unison. You wouldn't want to have to do them one by one, right? That's where the tilt rod helps out. Some tilt rods are upfront and more visible, whereas other ones are hidden. In both cases, they serve the same function of opening and closing all of the slats together, in one movement.
Frame: The frame is where the shutters themselves are mounted to. The frame is installed in your existing windows, and offers an opportunity to add a trim around the shutter hardware for added style. If your windows are recessed, your shutters can be mounted directly inside the existing window frame and you'll still have full use of your windowsill. If your windows are not recessed, you can mount the frame around the outside of the existing window frame and mount your shutters that way.
- Panels: The shutter panels are the piece that holds the slats, and that gets mounted inside of the frame. Whether you're doing a DIY installation or having us send over somebody to install your shutters for you, once the panels are mounted and adjusted, you're all set to start enjoying your brilliant new windows.
- Hinges: It all hinges on the hinges! These pieces of hardware are specifically what attach the panels to the frame. We use high-quality hinges to ensure that your shutters will swing open and closed for many, many years to come. We offer hinges to match all of our countless styles of shutters.
- Mid-rails: You'll find mid-rails on taller styles of shutters, like tier on tier for instance. The mid-rail adds some balance to the middle section in terms of visual appeal, but its primary purpose is for structural support to make sure that your shutters remain solid and stable, even when they're very tall. With a tier on tier style of shutter, you can control the top half and the bottom half independently which opens up the door (or opens up the shutters, in this case) to limited possibilities.
Now that's we've gone over the parts that comprise tier on tier, let's discuss how they're different from another popular style – cafe shutters!
Tier on Tier Shutters vs Cafe Style – What's the Difference?
Picture a tall window with tier on tier plantation shutters installed over it. There's the mid-rail running horizontally across the center, and there are panels above the mid-rail on the top half of the installation, and more panels below the mid-rail on the bottom half of the installation. Now, take away the panels above the mid-rail and you're basically left with cafe style shutters.
Cafe style shutters are different than regular plantation shutters because they're used on taller windows that are larger than the size of the cafe style shutters themselves. It's a conscious design choice to cover the bottom half and leave the top half open, and that's what defines this style of installation.
Tier on tier is functionally the same since you can always swing the top half open and you'll essentially have cafe style shutters.
The difference is that with cafe shutters, you're stuck with what you have. In other words, you can't cover the top half to block light, or for extra privacy or any reason at all.
So, if you imagine wanting to cover the top half of your window at any point, tier on tier is going to be a better option than cafe style. If there's no circumstance where you'll want to have shutters blocking the top half of your window or door, then cafe-style may very well be the better option for you.
What About Tier on Tier for Bay Windows?
Bay windows in and of themselves are already a very nice touch to have in your home, consider yourself lucky if you've got them. Sitting recessed into a bay window on a comfy ledge, with the sun shining down as you nap or read a book is how countless hours have been spent around the UK and every second of it has been cherished.
Shutters for bay windows are a perfect complement to an already near-perfect part of your home. If you don't love your bay area, you will soon.
Here's why tier-on-tier works so great for bay windows:
- Both individual styles are visually appealing on their own. Bay windows stand out in a good way, and so do plantation shutters. Having the window and the shutter "team-up", so to speak, just multiplies their impact. A bay window that hasn't been treated to a beautiful set of shutters simply deserves better!
- As we mentioned already, tier on tier shutters offer better privacy than cafe style shutters. Since bay windows are most commonly found in the front of the home, shutters are the perfect way to block the line of sight from the street. You could leave the bottom ones closed for privacy and keep the top half open to let some light in or just close them all up when you don't want any chance of somebody being able to see inside your home.
- If you're trying to pull a room together visually, putting shutters on your bay windows opens up a lot of possibilities. A place to sit, a tall chair or a small house tree, a lamp, just about anything will look good in the recesses of your window area and your shutters can be configured to match.
They're Not For Everyone
We work with every style of plantation shutter so we aren't married to trying to sell you on a particular style. If tier on tier isn't the best choice for your home, we'll let you know and we'll help you pick something that will work better.
There are certain cases where tier on tier doesn't make as much sense, and you may as well opt for something a bit simpler and lighter. For smaller windows, there's really no reason to get tier on tier, and full height will do just fine.
The same goes for rooms where you can't really imagine wanting to open the top half. If you have an upstairs washroom with a window that faces the street or neighbours, it's hard to imagine wanting to have that open at any point. You don't want to have to remember to close it before going about your business, and you probably don't need a ton of natural light shining into the loo.

When You Break Up, Does It Matter Whose Decision It Was?
Not long after former lovers Ryan Phillippe and Abbie Cornish parted ways last weekend did parting shots come from their respective camps. The exes's reps tell two different stories: Abbie's says she ended the relationship, while Ryan's says he "ended the relationship and asked her to move out of his house." Ouch. After a breakup, do you try to set the record straight about who dumped whom, or do you take the "mutual decision" high road?

Food is a metaphor for life. Life is full of times when we have too much of something and not enough of something else. This recipe emanates from one of those days when one looks in the fridge and notices there are far too many vegetables there and they need to be used while still fresh. In this instance there were 3 fennel bulbs and a bag of Brussels Sprouts. What to do? The usual in our house – make a pasta. I cannot say that no one in the world had ever made a pasta out of these main ingredients, but I can say I never did! The recipe below is the result.
|Fennel bulb – sliced very thinly
|Brussels Sprouts – sliced very thinly
|Pancetta or Guanciale
|Shallots – thinly sliced
|Garlic – chopped as small as possible
|Olive Oil – Extra virgin
|Flour or Wondra
|Parmesan Cheese – grated or shaved
|Pasta – Rigatoni, Penne or Farfalle
Add the Fennel, Brussels Sprouts, Pancetta or Guanciale, shallots and garlic to a deep fry or sauté pan large enough to hold all the ingredients plus another cup of water. Add the olive oil, and mix all the ingredients thoroughly. Caramelize the ingredients over a low heat for 40-50 minutes. [This is not much work as they will need to be stirred only 2-3 times during this period.]
Meanwhile put up a pot of water for the pasta. [Cook the pasta in plenty of salted water.]
While the pasta is cooking, turn up the heat on the ingredients that are now sprinkle the fry pan, and then add flour or Wondra while stirring to incorporate the flour. After a a minute or so the mixture should thicken. When that happens add a cup of the pasta water to the pan and stir. A modestly think sauce should be the result. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of water. If too thin add a little more flour. Turn the heat down – or off – until the pasta is ready.
When the pasta is coked al dente, drain the pasta, then add it to the pan with vegetables and Pancetta. Turn the heat up and cook for 30 seconds while stirring vigorously. Serve with generous portions of shaved or grated Parmesan cheese.
This dish is great with a 2009 De Angelis Wines Pinot Noir.
2009 Pinot Noir
This Pinot Noir was released in July of 2011. The fruit for this wine was sourced from both warm and cool weather vineyards, and the resultant wine is a 14.1% classic Pinot Noir, that exhibits a terrific mouthfeel, a long finish, and fruit both on the nose, and in the mouth. This wine was aged in both Hungarian and French oak barrels for 14 months, was allowed to develop slowly, and was bottled in mid-February, 2011. From the time this wine was in barrel, it was clear that this wine would be a great De Angelis Wines Pinot Noir as barrel tasting throughout aging was very successful. While young by our standards, this Pinot Noir is as good as a Pinot Noir is great now!

Giving Thanks
On September 11th, 2017, I climbed to the summit of Mount Katahdin in Maine and fulfilled my lifelong dream of thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail. During my six-month, 2,189-mile journey, there wasn't a single step in which I wasn't keenly aware that there were thousands of people working behind the scenes to make my hike possible. I would like to now publicly thank these people.

Today the weather mended and there was laundry on the line when I got up.
This morning Chief Detective Inspector ErinsMum got a whisper in her shell-like from a grass in the Elephant and managed to put 12 and 8 together. The coat-down-the-bog culprit now appears to be naughty Alannah, as previously suspected way back on Toilet Mayhem Day (2 months ago). We're not sure whether the matter was dealt with internally by the school on a pupil confidentality basis or whether the pink perpetrator has so far eluded the educational authorities. Either way, we'll put out some feelers at pickup time and see if we get any bites. Such is the cut'n'thrust and rough'n'tumble of life as a 6 year-old. Turns out that Ollie has had his coat dunked recently. Is Alannah a serial bogwasher, or is it spreading?
Today is ErinsDads' birthday so that's a good enough excuse to nip down to the Pirate Ship Pub for a couple of swift fruit juices. After a quick supper I scooted down with the olds in tow. All the Puddlers except the Bens were there and a few bonus faces like Gemmas' Charlie and Ginger Lenny. I think my scooter made a welcome respite from the existing toys (plastic guns) but in the end it was just another thing to argue over.
You forget that the Old People leave us alone for two or more hours and expect us to get on with it while they imbibe their vitamin Beer. So yes, we'll run up and down, invade and defend the pirate ship and take turns on the scooter, but we'll also throw the pile of loose bricks around, climb on the plastic playhouse with its dangerous broken roof and hide the scooter in said house and say we're using it so nobody else can.
Thus although there were many hilarious moments and fun periods and hard work playing football with the deflated ball Bud found outside the perimeter, there were also howls and arguments and strops and tantrums and no you can't have any of my crisps and shoving and banging each other on the head with toy guns and stuff, and these are the aspects that the parents remember. Erin and Bobert definitely have a thang goin' on (maybe one day they'll suddenly snog like Hermione and Ron) but to be fair we all had a go at some point (except Pops and Elizabeth, who don't do that kind of thing).Inside we collaborated quietly and successfully on a jigsaw map of the world which just goes to prove we can do it when gainfully occupied. ErinsMum took her home and ErinsDad got the look that says thou shalt finish that pint and come home now, Bobert got the look that says thou shalt spend the night in the shed, Mush, and they went. I played throw the white ball with Elizabeth on the pool table until home time.

I was confused… did I say something wrong?
The first time I got this response was about five years ago, maybe at a bar, maybe at one of my many hospitality jobs. Maybe it was during a casual conversation: an "oh, I didn't know you were in the Marines?". However it happened, no similar interaction will ever be the same.
Something about it is so polarizing. How is it that a humble showing of genuine appreciation can result in such an undesired response? I've seen many from afar throw money in place of verbal gratitude, and whether it be free drinks at a bar with a handshake and short convo to follow or picking up a bill anonymously, it always goes over well. Additionally there is never a shortage of willing (and usually older) veterans to be honored and applauded during our local Nashville Predators intermissions.
There must be something deeper.
Is it the case that veterans no longer choose the armed forces for the same reasons as in years past? Is it the case that awareness and an individual sense of morality play a larger role in the posthumous view of time served? Are these words somehow a trigger for emotional distress or a reminder of unmet and well-deserved needs following this certain sacrifice? Is there a scarring involving historically subjective wars and our part in them? Do they simply not want to be thanked?
Or is it the case that civilians have lost touch? Have we ourselves been jaded or misrepresented, grouped into the aftermath of Vietnam protests and the like? Is our involvement and understanding reduced to media portrayals of war and our troops? Are we doing enough for our brothers and sisters?
I'll be honest, I have no idea as I'm searching for answers in what seems to be a multi-layered and case-by-case issue. The aforementioned questions are merely that: questions in search of answers.
I've watched as many documentaries and read enough books as the next guy, hungry to empathize and inform my personal artistry with what is the most emotionally strenuous situation one can face. Much like school, however, this isolated learning has not provided the real-word practicality I seek.
I'll always pursue empathy and gratitude for those who protect our freedoms and future. I may, however, change the method in which I express such things.

Steptoe And Son – The Party – Christmas Special – 1973
As we move into Christmas week we're paying special attention to an all time great that ended 40 years ago this Boxing Day. To remember this classic sitcom from Galton and Simpson we're re-running an interview we did with the writers earlier this year. In the original we cut Alan Simpson off as he was about to discus Steptoe. This time round, as agreed with the writers themselves, you'll get to see the whole interview. Tomorrow there's the final part of Galton and Simpson present in which they share a fascinating story behind perhaps the best loved Steptoe episode.
The Party was the first of only two Christmas Specials in Steptoe's long history, was followed in 1974 by the final series, with a 1974 Christmas special being the final TV episode. We're not 100% but from the research we did this was probably the first time a sitcom ended with a Christmas Special. Of course it's the done thing these days, as Miranda will go out this year with a Christmas Special.
This extended episode has some classic comic moments in, such as the Harold sitting on a holly wreath left on the toilet seat by Albert and Albert's rendition of White Christmas.
The original episode ran to 46 minutes, but the version released to DVD runs to 42, the usual reason given is contractual ie having the rights to use a particular scene or more commonly a piece of music.
Harold and Albert are planning Christmas, the only problem is Albert is planning a cosy Christmas, just him and Harold. Whist Harold's plans don't include Albert at all – he's off to sunnier climes, only problem is how to tell Albert.
When emotional blackmail takes over Harold gives in and gets a full refund on his holiday, deciding instead to blow the money on one big party, inviting friends and neighbours. Surely with a party not even Albert can spoil it, that is until he catches chicken pox.

Hi Wonderful Listeners!
Today was both a wonderful day and a terrible day. How so? Well, overall, it was a great day except for two unexpected occurrences. They did throw me for a loop but I powered through them. However, let me just dive into my day and you'll see what I'm talking about.
So I started out by getting up at a decent hour. I woke up with enough time to put myself together in a decent way. I had the pleasure of catching the bus with Armand (who's still crashing on our couch every other night or so.) We caught the bus and we were on our way to campus.
After reaching campus, we went our seperate ways. I decided to stop by Dos Gatos Kolaches since I was feeling hungry for breakfast. The lovely people who were there had me in and out in like two minutes. They're so great. I love their service and kolaches! 🙂 Funny enough, walking from Dos Gatos to my first class in Sabinal, I ran into Armand again. Apparently, he was feeling hungry too (which is a shame because we could've had breakfast together.)

The topic of cryptocurrencies came up a lot on Capitol Hill Wednesday, prompting scathing comments from the head of the Federal Reserve and members of Congress in three separate hearings. Beyond the soundbites, however, other speakers pondered the potential impact of crypto on central banks, currencies and the overall financial system.
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell kicked things off by telling members of the House Financial Services Committee that cryptocurrencies have "no intrinsic value" and pose "serious risks" to investors.
"The central bank has to decide if it wants to withdraw completely from providing a payment device for the general public or offer some kind of digital alternative," said former Fed official Rodney Garratt.
Rep. Collin Peterson, D-Minn., echoed Powell's sentiment in a House Agriculture Committee meeting, calling crypto a "Ponzi scheme." And in yet another hearing held by the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Monetary Policy and Trade later the same day, one congressman went so far as to suggest U.S. citizens should be prohibited from buying or mining crypto.
"It is only a solution to the problems of tax evaders, criminals and terrorists," said Rep. Brad Sherman, D-Calif., who repeatedly likened cryptocurrencies to burglar's tools and a fingerprint-resistant gun. "There is nothing that can be done with cryptocurrencies that cannot be done with sovereign currency that is meritorious and helpful to society."
At the same time, the hearings reflected Congress' growing interest in crypto. In the financial services subcommittee, representatives and expert witnesses attempted to understand whether cryptocurrencies are money and whether some form of crypto, such as an existing coin like bitcoin (BTC) or one issued by a central bank, could ultimately threaten the primacy of the dollar as the world's reserve currency.
"If the European Central Bank were to issue digital euros, I think the entire world would readily adopt that for digital transactions," said Rep. Bill Foster, D-Ill. "We have to be prepared to respond to that threat."
FedCoins or Freedom?
Experts pointed to the proliferation of electronic transfers and the worldwide decline in the use of cash as signs that central banks such as the Fed and the ECB will ultimately face a day of reckoning about their role.
"The central bank has to decide if it wants to withdraw completely from providing a payment device for the general public or offer some kind of digital alternative," said Rodney Garratt, a professor at the University of California Santa Barbara and former vice president at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, before the financial services subcommittee. "These are options the central bank will ultimately face and… something we should be prepared for."
If the Fed were to adopt its own central bank-issued coin, such as the so-called "FedCoin," the impact on the banking system could be significant, witnesses said.
Eswar Prasad, a Cornell University professor and Brookings Institution senior fellow, stressed the implications on money creation if the Fed were to essentially allow individuals to have central bank accounts denominated in crypto. Doing so, he told the financial services subcommittee, would draw money out of commercial banks, which do the brunt of the lending that keeps money circulating and the economy humming.
Alex J. Pollock, senior fellow at the R Street Institute, cautioned that increasing the Fed's share of the U.S. banking system's $12 trillion in deposits would increase its "size, role and power." To keep the economy moving, the Fed would have to issue loans, which "would unavoidably be highly politicized, and "taxpayers would be on the hook" for any losses. Central bank digital currencies, Pollock said, are "one of the worst financial ideas in recent times."
Meanwhile, Dr. Norbert Michel of the Heritage Foundation argued before the financial services subcommittee the government should not "tilt the playing field" and should treat all forms of currency equally.
Implicit in that, Michel said, is removing capital gains taxes from purchases with any form of alternative currency, including crypto and foreign currencies. The U.S. Postal Service and other government agencies also should accept crypto and other forms of currency, he added.
"These competitive forces are the forces that push entrepreneurs to innovate…. they also expose weaknesses and inefficiencies," Michel said. "The same competitive forces should be used to improve money."
The Future of Money
Regardless of the pros and cons, a Fed-issued crypto doesn't appear to be on the short-term agenda, at least based on Powell's remarks in his semi-annual appearance before the Financial Services committee.
"We're not looking at this as something that we should be doing," he said.
Finance services subcommittee hearing speakers also argued that cash — and the dollar, specifically — will remain king for the foreseeable future. Despite declines elsewhere, cash remains the most frequently used form of payment in the U.S., Michel said. Others argued that the dollar's role as a global reserve would likely continue because of the U.S. economy's overall strength and stability.
When might cryptocurrencies challenge that role? Garratt said that would depend, in part, on whether central banks get into the digital currency game. Pollock argued that it would only happen after people stop asking, "What's the price of bitcoin?" and start asking, "What's the price of that in bitcoin?"

Happy 1st Birthday TDB! In this special one-year anniversary show, Deb and Carol reminisce about how The Divine Breadcrumb community and podcast got started, lessons learned, and where TDB is headed in 2020.
Deb and Carol knew absolutely nothing about podcasting when they started planning the launch in late July 2018. They spent 3 1/2 months learning everything they could, and when the day came to record their very first episode, well...they were scared to death
Fast forward one year and they have interviewed award-winning authors, healers, psychics, photographers, artists, DJs and more. Believe it or not, that was something Deb and Carol had listed during a written manifestation exercise in August of 2018 - almost 3 months before the podcast launched! It's amazing how many things have manifested since then!
Join Deb and Carol as they go down memory lane, laughing at the challenges and celebrating how far they've come. From taking an online podcasting course in July 2018 to attending a women's podcasting conference in October 2019, Deb and Carol share their story.
Thank you to all guests and especially to our listeners. We love you all!

CompassAnnual Concert
"Not all those who wander are lost."
(J.R.R. Tolkien)
In this annual concert, the choir presents a variety of songs from around the world, and from our travels. The word "Compass" conveys the idea of a journey, guidance, travel, discovery… all of those things. We hope that our audience will come away from our concert having been transported to "somewhere lovely" either by memories of the past, delighting in the now, or dreaming of the future.

Recap | Final Stats | Notes | Photo Gallery
GEORGIA TECH HEAD COACH Josh Pastner
Opening statement:
"First off, a great win for us. That's a very good team. Very, very well coached by coach [Chris] Collins. What he's done at Northwestern is one of the best stories in college basketball. But for us to get a win against that type of team and program, an experienced and a well-coached team, is great for us and our program. So, [I'm] really happy about that. Defensively, for the year-and-a-half that I've been here, that's kind of been our calling card, our defense. We really guarded well again. If you look at the numbers and holding a team like that, that's got the offensive fire power that they do and the shooting that they do, to hold them to 36 percent from the field, 21 percent from field, 51 points overall, we really guarded well. That's our calling card, that's where we're going to hang our hat, that's our DNA. We got a 10-point lead [but] it's obviously a game of runs and that's an experienced, veteran team that we knew was going to make a run late. We did not handle that well. We got out of sorts in sets, got a little unorganized. That being said, we will be able to use those last seven minutes, show film, get better because this will not be the last time that we're in a close game this season and we'll have to do a better job executing late when we have a lead and, vice-versa, if we're down, making sure we execute."
On the game-winning play:
"We called timeout and we've worked on late, last-second plays. Obviously, it's a players' game and a player had to make the last shot, which Tadric [Jackson] did. But we've worked on those late-game situations. Northwestern guarded it well but Tadric was smart not to settle and drove the ball. And that's what he should've done being a senior. That was the right mindset and it was the right pass by Jose [Alvarado]."
On the big lift from Abdoulaye Gueye through Ben Lammers' foul trouble in first half:
"AD has gotten a lot better from where AD was last year to this year. He's gotten a lot better. And, actually, we extended the lead when Ben went out. Ben doesn't really foul. And when he picked up those two quick fouls, we extended the lead. Ben's been a little out of sync. He's not practiced since he had the sprained ankle, he's just played in the games. Obviously, we need him in the games. But guys need to practice or you get out of sync, get out of rhythm and you lose a bit of conditioning."
On the atmosphere at McCamish Pavilion:
"The student section was great; the crowd was great. I get it. Everybody wanted us to beat Georgia [in football] this weekend, but I was cheering like crazy because I wanted us to go to a bowl game so more people could focus on that and we could continue to fly underneath the radar. But for that though, it's been great that the crowd came out. And I tell you, even coach [Tom] Crean said this at shootaround today because he [was the analyst for] our game today [on ESPN2], he mentioned the crowd and the atmosphere. He said this is one of the best home-court advantages that we've got in the country that he's been around."
Opening statement:
"Obviously it's a disappointing way to lose. I thought Georgia Tech deserved it though. They played really hard and you have to give their kids a lot of credit. It wasn't necessarily a beautifully played game by both teams, but I thought it was really hard-played. I thought both teams played really good defense the whole game which lent itself to a really good finish in the last couple minutes. Give [Tadric] Jackson a lot of credit. I was proud of my guys. We found a group there in the last eight minutes, down 10, to get a chance to get the lead. Then I thought we had two critical fouls. They were having a really hard time scoring, [but] we grab a guy on a back cut and then we foul [Ben] Lammers on a defensive rebound which gives them three points right there at the end. Then Jackson made a great play. Give him credit on that. Obviously, it's a tough way to lose."
On Scottie Lindsey:
"He had a tough night tonight. He's been a key guy for us and he'll continue to be a key guy. He got in foul trouble early. [He] never could really get a rhythm, never started going to the basket. I think he rolled his ankle a little bit at the end. He was okay to go back in, but I found a group that was playing really well and I decided to stick with those guys."
On Bryant McIntosh down the stretch:
"He made some big buckets. We finally started getting the ball into the teeth of their defense [and] that was what we were trying to do early. But they do a good job. They mix and match defenses. They play different zones. They try and keep you off balance. I thought down the stretch though, we finally started driving the ball, we started getting it into the paint. He found [Dererk] Pardon for a couple layups. We just never could really hit that big three that we needed. If you asked me who our two best shooters are, I'd tell you [Scottie] Lindsey and [Aaron] Falzon and those two guys go 0-for-12 from three. When I look at the stat sheet and see my two best shooters 0-for-12 from three, outshot 16-to-4 at the foul line, [and] to lose a game by one at the buzzer? It shows a lot of grit in my guys that we hung in there and gave ourselves a chance."
On the defensive effort in the final eight minutes:
"They do a great job. They cut hard. They move the ball well. It's a rhythmic offense and I thought we finally in the last eight minutes did a good job of disrupting the rhythm. We got in passing lanes a little bit. We disrupted some of those passes. Then it's like anything when you start to make a little comeback, the pressure of the game begins to mount on both teams. If you asked me before the game if we hold them to 37 percent shooting and 52 points and hold [Ben] Lammers to 13 and [Tadric] Jackson 10, I feel pretty good about our chances. We just were never able offensively to get a great rhythm."
On the free-throw disparity:
"I'm not going to get into calls and that kind of stuff. I thought both teams were driving the ball and getting it in there. Give them credit. They were a little bit stronger and were able to get the foul calls that they needed."

By Zack Craft, vice president national product leader for durable medical equipment and complex care, One Call
The most effective way to help injured workers regain maximum functionality and reduce costs is through an early engagement approach. This is the focus of two new innovative programs One Call launched this year to tackle workplace injuries associated with delayed recovery times and high claims costs – amputations and wounds.
The Complexity of Amputation
Let's start with the complexity of workplace injuries that lead to amputation. The ultimate goal must be to return an injured worker to the most realistic functional level possible; however, the road to "new normal" is multi-faceted. It involves physical rehabilitation of the amputation site, emotional rehabilitation for the psycho-social impact of limb loss, prosthetic intervention, environmental accommodation and therapy, and just time.
It's important to establish a projected recovery path – complete with realistic goals and timeframes – at the onset of an injury. If an injured worker stays on the road to recovery without too many detours, there's a better likelihood he'll maintain a positive outlook and ultimately, return to maximum functionality. Therein lies the problem with most amputee cases. Delays in recovery – due to infection, chronic wounds, poor activity, co-morbidities, limited range of motion, and pain management – may slow the pace of prosthetic selection, fitting and delivery1. This leads to poor rehabilitation outcomes and an average timeframe of six to nine months before an amputee can return to work on limited duty2.
Amputee Solutions
One Call's amputee solutions program establishes holistic patient-centric care paths focused on early engagement. The key to the program's success is immediate access to a One Call on-staff prosthetist and specialized providers, expedited device authorization and rehabilitation, and psychological support. The earlier an amputee can see the potential for returning to work or just life, the sooner he can gain a positive outlook.
Find out more about our Wound and Amputee Solutions
The Detrimental Effects of Chronic Wounds
While amputations are certainly some of the most severe of injuries, a more common issue that injured workers face is non-healing wounds. Chronic wounds affect 5.7 million people in the U.S. at an annual cost of $20 billion, with pressure ulcers among the most common chronic wounds3. Sadly, about 60,000 patients die as a direct result of a pressure ulcer each year4.
Wound Solutions
The primary goal of One Call's wound solutions program is to provide optimal conditions for the natural reparative processes of a wound. This unique approach includes accessing the home environment and equipment to uncover the root-cause of the wound, facilitate healing and avoid recurrence. The program also incorporates innovative technology like remote wound monitoring and clinical expertise to access injured workers regardless of care venue.
Find out more about our Wound and Amputee Solutions
Solution-based programs are forging a new path forward in the treatment of workplace injuries. By adopting an early engagement approach, prevention and intervention remain the focus throughout the continuum of care. The result: injured workers regain maximum functionality and independence, and that's great news for everyone involved.

When LGBTQ website Queerty ran a recent interview with Matty Healy, they led with a headline claiming The 1975 had come out as aesthete — defined as "a person who has or affects to have a special appreciation of art and beauty." In the article, he does describe himself in such a way, saying, "I tend not to talk about my sexuality that explicitly because I don't really have to and all things are subject to change. I'm an aesthete. I see things as objectively beautiful, so men can be objectively beautiful," however; he wouldn't call it "coming out" as being an aesthete has nothing to do with sexuality.
Shortly after the story published, the singer cleared this up on Twitter, admitting the headline made him feel "uncomfortable."
"I didn't come out as anything this a weird thing to say," he wrote. "I did an interview with a Queer publication and was asked about my sexuality. I'm not playing a game and trying to take up queer spaces I'm simply trying to be an ally and this headline makes me uncomfortable."
Check out the tweet below.
The 1975 are gearing up to release their fourth studio album. Notes on a Conditional Form is slated for a February 21, 2020 release.

Delta Restoration Services in Salt Lake City
Facts about Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City (often shortened to Salt Lake and abbreviated as SLC) is the capital and the most populous municipality of the U.S. state of Utah. With an estimated population of 190,884 in 2014, the city is the core of the Salt Lake City metropolitan area, which has a population of 1,153,340 (2014 estimate). Salt Lake City is further situated within a larger metropolis known as the Salt Lake City–Ogden–Provo Combined Statistical Area. This region is a corridor of contiguous urban and suburban development stretched along an approximately 120-mile (190 km) segment of the Wasatch Front, comprising a population of 2,423,912 as of 2014. It is one of only two major urban areas in the Great Basin (the other is Reno, Nevada).
Salt Lake City has an area of 110.4 square miles (286 km²) and an average elevation of 4,327 feet (1,319 m) above sea level. The lowest point within the boundaries of the city is 4,210 feet (1,280 m) near the Jordan River and the Great Salt Lake, and the highest is Grandview Peak, at 9,410 feet (2,868 m).
The city is in the northeast corner of the Salt Lake Valley surrounded by the Great Salt Lake to the northwest and the steep Wasatch and Oquirrh mountain ranges on the eastern and southwestern borders, respectively. Its encircling mountains contain several narrow glacial and stream carved canyons. Among these canyons, City Creek, Emigration, Millcreek, and Parley's border the eastern city limits.
According to estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau, as of 2016, there were 193,744 people in Salt Lake City. The racial makeup of the county was 65.0% non-Hispanic White, 2.5% Black, 1.1% Native American, 5.6% Asian, 1.7% Pacific Islander, and 2.8% from two or more races. 21.6% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.

The city's population has historically been predominantly white. Between 1860 and 1950 whites represented about 99% of the city's population but this changed dramatically in the decades that followed.

Bozo-filter serial friend-adders
Short, concise description of the idea
When an account has friended over 150 other accounts, further friendings should not generate email notifications to the target users. This will help combat friend spam.
Full description of the idea
There has been a spate of Cyrillic-speaking users/bots that are indiscriminately friending random accounts. I have tried to contact these users, but have received no response.
They are either bots or just really annoying/pathetic users. I get an email every time I get friended by one, so I've had to turn off the email-on-friending notification feature.
Bozo-filters are quite useful in combating certain social network annoyances. I suggest that if a user has over 10 times more outbound friends than inbound friends AND the outbound friend count is over 150, the user may still add friends but no notifications will be generated.
- Users may still add as many friends as they want.
Only a limited number of random users will get notified of the spurious friendings.
- It is within the realm of possibility that a few legitimate users behave in this manner. The only downside is that notifications may not get sent after 150.

Spirtual care in nursing Article Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 250 words
Spirtual care in nursing - Article Example In phase 2, they used unstructured focus group interviews to allow the participants to expand on their responses from the questionnaire. The questionnaire was validated by a multidisciplinary palliative care committee, who deemed it appropriate for use. Allen S. and smith maintained a clear audit trail through the journaling technique. There was a correlation between the questionnaire and the focus group data. Ethics approval consent was sought from the University Ethics Committee. Permission was also granted from the hospitalââ¬â¢s ethics committee in the rural facility. In addition, the participants were assured of independence and confidentiality, and they gave a written consent. In the analysis and discussion of the results four major themes emerged: understanding spirituality, assessment of spirituality, difficulties and education. Also, study limitations emerged. A focus group interview was not appropriate data collection method to use in the study. This was evident from the responses in the focus groups that the meaning of spirituality was inconsistent based on the individual understanding and belief. Also, the questionnaire did not provide an opportunity to give examples of spiritual care. According to the journal article, it is important for the health workers to realize the spirituality as an important component in delivering nursing care in any setting. Smyth, T, & Allen, S 2011, Nurses experiences assessing the spirituality of terminally ill patients in acute clinical practice, International Journal Of Palliative Nursing, 17, 7, pp. 337-343, Consumer Health Complete - EBSCOhost, EBSCOhost, viewed 15 March

"Fake news" is very much in the news these days. The fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) that it spreads is alarming. What does this have to do with Adabas & Natural?
Well, it has come to my attention that there is a lot of misinformation about how Adabas & Natural fits in with digital transformation and new cloud-based IT architectures. Consultants who have a financial interest in pushing disruptive, expensive rip-and-replace strategies are embracing the classic disinformation strategy of FUD – spreading active disinformation, sometimes bordering on downright lies.
Rather than countering their nonsense point by point, I wanted to take the opportunity to show six clear ways to integrate your mission-critical Adabas & Natural apps into digital transformation initiatives, ranging from cloud deployment to DevOps to talent development for the next generation.
- Adabas & Natural Customers Are Successfully Attracting New Talent to Facilitate Generational Change
Customers are leveraging modern and agile development tools with state-of-the-art training to cultivate new, talented developers.
Case in point: At one European insurance company, half of the developers training in Adabas & Natural are in their 20s. A 17-year-old intern learned Natural in just five days! Check out their success story.
- Natural Supports Agile Development with Eclipse and DevOps
NaturalONE, based on the world-renowned Eclipse development platform, directly supports your agile development and DevOps strategy to deliver higher-quality business outcomes faster.
Case in point: The American Armed Forces Mutual Aid Association (AAFMAA) switched completely to NaturalONE to respond faster to new business demands.
- Adabas & Natural Runs Cost-Efficiently Both On and Off the Mainframe
Lower the total cost of operations on the mainframe by offloading up to 99% of your Adabas & Natural application workload to zIIP. Or, save 80% on IT operational costs moving applications to Linux, UNIX or Windows without compromising performance.
Case in point: Alliance Healthcare realized major savings by moving its core Adabas & Natural applications to a virtual Linux environment, where it runs across 24 subsidiaries supporting a €4 billion business.
- Adabas & Natural Easily Connect to API, Analytical and IOT Platforms
Your Adabas & Natural applications connect seamlessly to business intelligence, Big Data, AI and IoT platforms. You can expose Natural business logic as APIs and microservices with a push of a button.
Case in point: Natural provides a one-click experience to expose business logic as standard API services.
- Adabas & Natural Runs Off The Mainframe in On-Premises, Container or Cloud Environments
High-performance Adabas & Natural apps can run in the cloud, Linux, UNIX or Windows; in cloud containers such as Docker, Kubernetes; and in virtualized environments.
Case in point: Today, half of all Adabas & Natural apps run on Linux, UNIX or Windows, generating major cost savings.
- Modernizing and Transforming Legacy Apps Is the Fastest Way to Digitalization
Reusing valuable business logic and data is the fastest way to digitalization. Gartner agrees that modernizing IT, rather than rip-and-replace, should be in your digitalization strategy.
Case in point: Contact us to see a proof-of-concept that demonstrates the value and speed of reusing your Adabas & Natural applications in your digital strategy.
I would love for every company using Adabas & Natural to understand how we're bringing modern deployment methods and DevOps capabilities to their legacy system. That way, instead of taking a rip-and-replace approach, it would be clear that it's smarter to increase business responsiveness, grow the talent pool, and enhance development quality for existing apps already critical to your business. Please contact us to learn how!

Love them!! Great fresh lunch buffet. Wish they were open Mondays.
I'm so thrilled that I tried Watami. The restaurant is clean, modern and the selection of food is great. If you love sushi, you will be in heaven with the selection. I enjoyed the battered veggies and shrimp for lunch. Try this hidden restaurant buffet. I believe you will enjoy it.
I wish I could live here
Definitely one of the better places in town to sample different flavors of sushi at a low price. Great concept, fresh, and entertaining!
Just as good or better quality than the others at a buffet price. Plus clams, oysters, crab. The best!
