Flat in New York, USA
I have lived in this apartment for over two years. It is a one bedroom that has been converted into a two bedroom. It is small but efficient. There are two bedrooms with a small communal area that includes a kitchen and futon/TV nook and full bathroom. Each room has a full sized bed and there is a futon in the living room that pulls out to sleep 2 people.
The neighborhood is the Lower East Side off of Attorney St between Stanton and Houston Street. I LOVE this neighborhood. I have a lot of late night rehearsals etc and feel very safe walking around because there is always a lot people around. The street the apartment is on doesn't get too noisy but the area is so much fun with restaurants, cafes and bars. The location is very convient to the subway, bus, or walking to where you would like to explore. I am between two subway stops so there public transportation is easy and convienent.

Yeah, I posted something yesterday but I deleted it. I'm not happy with myself for thinking of seeing GM again. Oh, well. I may see him, or I may not. I don't know at this point. But I guess I'll take it one day at a time.
Last night at work, I was reading my LDSAR booklet. I read about Step 3. This is a decision step. I've no idea how I can possibly follow through with that decision. I bet some well-intentioned people may say, "Think of your kids." "Think of your husband." "Tell your bishop and your husband." or any number of other suggestions. Well, to that I will say, "Been there, done that, got the tee shirt." And guess what? It Didn't Work.
But I read a looooong list of sobriety tools someone emailed me. One of the tools said, "If all else fails, punt. Attend more meetings." Maybe this is what I should do. I don't know. And maybe I'll ask that one gay dude from SA if he will be my sponsor. Somehow, I have a feeling that I won't be able to make it past step 2 without a sponsor. But telling my husband and my bishop right Now, I feel this would be premature and a big mistake.
Oh. And here's the list of sobriety tools someone from SLAA emailed me (It's a good list):
1 ) Stay away from that first drink, taking the 1ststep daily.
2 ) Attend AA regularly and get involved.
3 ) Progress is made ONE DAY AT A TIME.
4 ) Use the 24 Hour plan.
5 ) Remember, your disease is incurable, progressive and fatal.
6 ) Do first things first.
7 ) Don't become too tired.
8 ) Eat at regular hours.
9 ) Use the telephone. (not just after the fact but during too.).
10) Be active - don't just sit around. Idle time will kill you.
11) Use the Serenity Prayer.
12) Change old routines and patterns.
13) Don't become too hungry.
14) Avoid loneliness.
15) Practice control of your anger.
16) Air your resentments.
17) Be willing to help whenever needed.
18) Be good to yourself, you deserve it.
19) Easy does it.
20) Get out of the "IF ONLY" trap.
21) Remember HOW IT WAS. Your last drunk, the feelings, etc.
22) Be aware of your emotions.
23) Help another in his/her recovery, extend your hand, listen.
24) Try to turn your life and your will over to your High Power.
25) Avoid all mood-altering drugs, read labels on all medicines.
26) Turn loose of old ideas.

33) See knowledgeable help when troubled and or otherwise.

35) Try the 12 and 12, not just 1 and 12 or 1, 12 and 13!
36) Let go and Let God.
37) Use the God bag and the answers: yes, no or wait I have something better in store for you. Don't forget to say thanks.
38) Find courage to change through the example of others who have.
39) Don't try to test your will power - give an alcoholic one shovel and one pail and in one hour he/she will need 100 wheel barrels.
40) Live TODAY, not YESTERDAY, not TOMORROW - projection is planning the results before anything even happens.
41) Avoid emotional involvements the first year – you end up putting the other person first and lose sight of "your" program.
42) Remember alcohol is - cunning, baffling and powerful.
43) Rejoice in the manageability of your new life.
44) Be humble--Humility is not in thinking of your self more, but in thinking more of yourself less often. Watch your ego.
45) Share your experience, strength and hope.
46) Cherish your recovery.
47) Dump your garbage regularly - GIGO = Garbage In Garbage Out.
48) Get plenty of "restful" sleep.
49) Stay sober for you - not someone else – otherwise it won't work.
50) Practice rigorous honesty with yourself and others.
51) Progress is made ONE DAY AT A TIME, not 10 years in one day!
55) Make no major decisions the first year.
56) Get a sponsor and use him/her. (not just selectively share).
57) Know that no matter what your problems, someone's had them before. Don't be afraid to share, as a problem shared is one 1/2 solved.
58) Strive for progress not perfection.
59) When in doubt ask questions. The only stupid question is the one not asked. You weren't afraid to speak before, so why start now.
60) Use prayer and meditation ... not just pillow talk, get on those knees. Put your shoes under the bed just in case someone's looking.
61) Maintain a balance: spiritual, physical, emotional and mental.
62) Don't use other substances as a maintenance program.
63) Learn to take spot check inventories.
64) Watch out for the RED FLAGS ... things that give excuses for poor behavior and inevitable relapse.
65) Know that its okay to be human ... just don't drink over it.
66) Be kind to yourself; it's about time, don't you think.
67) Don't take yourself so seriously- take the disease seriously!
68) Know that whatever it is that's causing pain – it shall pass.
69) Stay as away from the DRY DRUNK SYNDROME as humanly as possible.
70) Don't give away more than you can afford too, your sobriety comes first and must be the number 1 priority. Protect it at all costs.
71) Take down those bricks from the wall around you; you'll be able to see the daylight better. Let people know who you are.
72) Get a home group and attend it regularly.
73) Know that the light at the end of the tunnel is not an oncoming train, but actually a ray of hope. Drop the negativity.
74) Know that you are not alone, that's why the "We" is in the steps.
75) Be willing to go to any lengths to stay and be sober.
76) Know that no matter how bleak and dark your past may be, your future is clean, bright and clear if you don't drink today.
77) Stay out of your own way.
78) Don't be in a hurry--remember "TIME = Things I Must Earn".
79) Watch the EGO. "EGO = Ease God Out".
80) Protect your sobriety at all costs. Keep the light on you.
81) Learn to listen, not just hear. Be open-minded and nonjudgmental.
82) Know that if your insides match your outsides, everyone looks good.
83) If the rest of the world looks bad, check yourself out first.
84) Gratitude is in the attitude.
85) When all else fails ... punt! Up the number of meetings!!!
86) Remember FEAR = FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL!
87) Remember FINE = Fouled up, Insecure/insane, Neurotic and Emotionally Imbalanced...watch the FINE.
88) Handle what you can and leave the rest, don't overtax yourself. You can only accomplish so much in a given 24
89) Honesty and consistency are key factors in recovery.
90) Let the little kid in you out - learn how to laugh from the gut.
*** Note: this list is not necessarily in order. They are but suggestions and items to put in your little TOOL BAG.
Seeing GM through Lust's rose-colored glasses...
"I realize that often I'm not really seeing him for who he really is. Often, it is a fantasy version of him that I see. The Real version of GM is definitely gorgeous and sexy, but in reality, there are a Lot of things about him that I really don't like very much.
And last night I added a few other things to this list after talking to him:
a)He doesn't know how to pronounce my name. Kind of awkward that I've been sleeping with him for quite some time now....It's pronounced exactly how it's spelled. How can he screw that up?
b)I think he may be sort of neurotic. But maybe I am, also. Perhaps it takes one to know one or something.
c)He's a total sheeple. This really bothers me."

"Just to be clear, I'm not trying to be rude, or offer advice. I am in no situation to offer advice. But, I am a little confused.
You have said that you've told your husband about this. I believe at one point you mentioned that he wanted to beat up GM. In this very post, you said "Been there, done that, got that T shirt." But then, you go on and say he doesn't know, and that confession is premature.
What exactly does your husband know? What aren't you telling him. And when will be the right time to tell him?
I'm not trying to suggest anything. I honestly want to know your plan.
I was stuck in limbo with my addiction for quite some time. I had stopped acting out, but was afraid to tell my wife anything for fear of losing her and my children. That fear kept me paralyzed for a very long time. In the end, she did not leave. At least, not yet. I still struggle with both my addiction and being honest about it.
You are working on this and that is progress, even if it is small steps. You know what is right and what you stand to lose by continuing in your addiction, so don't ever give up."

"Yeah,I really don't think it's important for every person to know all of the details. My husband knows a lot, but not everything. I'm not keeping him updated on things regarding GM at this point because I feel it is unwise to do so until I am able to quit him for a decent amount of time. And even then, I'm not convinced it is wise for me to tell him that I've been with GM more times than my husband knows about. So there. :)"

"You may have said something important...does this gay guy have a lot of time clean in the program? Has he worked the 12 Steps successfully? If so, maybe you SHOULD ask him to sponsor you. I know there are not as many options for women out there in certain parts of the country but I think a gay guy might be a good fit to walk you through the Steps if he has years clean and a lot of recovery under his belt."

Hope I
"...didn't offend with my comments yesterday. Sometimes I can get carried away amusing myself with hyperbole. I also didn't mean to give advice. When I speak I usually am my primary audience. How well I communicate that is a different story. Besides, I don't know what the hell I'm doing or talking about anyway.
It just doesn't appear that any of us can do it alone. And if a spouse already knows and can help what the hell why not? That's all I was saying. But you know your situation better than anyone. People on here were harping on me to tell my wife and my bishop with in their ideal time frames for like 9 months and not a damn one of them knew what they were talking about. I believe in retrospect the timing was not in my hands and based on how things have worked out I think it was went about as appropriately as possible. Really only you and God know. A sponsor can help a ton. Mine, in fact, is the one who told me not to tell...yet. I'm glad I listened to him and my inner tyrant ("The only tyrant I accept in this world is the still voice within." -Gandhi) and not anyone else. I know for me now though I have to be carful to note weather I'm protecting my addiction or protecting my spouse. But again that is where a sponsor for me is so so so so so helpful they can help me understand what it is i'm doing.
I have one question: when you say "it didn't work" what do you mean exactly? Because I used to say that about the 12 steps and still kind of say that about Mormonism. But, at least with the 12 steps, I realized "it didn't work" for me meant "it didn't work once and for all". I now realize, because I got my butt kicked into oblivion so badly that I had to accept a daily program, that the 12 steps do work or I have seen the power of them in certain undeniable moments. But unfortunately for me they've never worked once and for all. I could say the same thing about being honest with my wife if i went back out now and started cheating on her again. Well, honesty didn't help us or our situation. But I would know for me it did help tremendously while I was exercising it. Undeniably. Don't get me wrong it's totally cool if telling your husband or who ever isn't the right thing for you right now. I just think it would be a shame if you started throwing away other tools, like a sponsor or the 12 steps for example, because they didn't work like you expected even though perhaps they may work as they should. Now again maybe that is just my experience. If it's unrelated to yours forget I mentioned it. I was just wanting some clarification on what you meant by "it didn't work"."

My account quit working, but this is Girlie
"Yeah, the gay guy has been sober for about 8 years. "It didn't work" means I told my husband and the bishop and that didn't stop anything. I was really trying. At the time, I wasn't in the 12 step program. I feel the 12-step program will work. The external constraints I used of telling my husband and the bishop didn't work because this other person, GM, finds ways to be where I am even though he lives 1200 miles away from me. He got divorced in January and he is free to do basically whatever he wants to do, including going to wherever I am. When he comes near me, it is trouble because I have this horribly overwhelming feeling like I just Need to be all over him. It's totally ridiculous."

Remember me
"Lucifer will do all in his power to keep you captive. You are familiar with his strategy. He whispers: "No one will ever know." "Just one more time." "You can't change; you have tried before and failed." "It's too late; you've gone too far." Don't let him discourage you. When you take the path that climbs, that harder path of the Savior, there are rewards along the way. When you do something right, when you resist temptation, when you meet a goal, you will feel very good about it. It is a very different kind of feeling than you have when you violate commandments—an altogether different feeling. It brings a measure of peace and comfort and provides encouragement to press on. "

I don't think I'll be recommending any more furnace certifications. Heresy you say? No, I have good reason not to. I started out meaning to write a blog about what's involved in furnace certifications and who does them, so I contacted 40 local HVAC contractors.
I was shocked at most of the responses I received.
An Easy Call
When I inspect a furnace and I find a serious problem, such as a cracked heat exchanger, it's easy for me to tell my clients what to do: replace the furnace. The photo above shows a cracked heat exchanger on a furnace, looking at it from the back - this GE furnace had a removable back panel that gave me a good look at the back of the heat exchanger, and made finding cracks very easy.
The Grey Area Unfortunately, diagnosing a cracked heat exchanger is almost always a difficult if not impossible task. Home Inspectors are usually only able to see the burner side of the heat exchanger, and this area is often dirty and rusty, making cracks very difficult to find. The photo above shows a crack as seen from the inside of a heat exchanger, and it's one of the most obvious heat exchanger cracks I've ever seen - yet it's still tough to see. Home inspection standards disclaim the inspection of the heat exchanger just for this reason, but I still do my best to look for problems. When I suspect a crack, all I can do is recommend an HVAC contractor come out to confirm or deny the presence of a crack.
What Excellent HVAC Contractors Do Many years ago, I attended a seminar put on by a very reputable HVAC firm, where the speaker talked about what was involved with a furnace 'certification', which was the type of inspection they would do when a Home Inspector suspected a problem. The guy leading the class talked about using mirrors, borescopes, smoke bombs, leak seek tests, and basically dismantling a furnace to get a good look at the heat exchanger to check for cracks. He assured us that if there was a crack to be found, they were happy to go out of their way to find it, and that's what a furnace certification was all about.
What Other HVAC Contractors Do To gather information for this blog, I contacted 40 different HVAC contractors (23 responded). The price for a furnace certification varied between $135 and $219, and almost every contractor said that a furnace certification consists of an Orsat test. That's it. An Orsat test measures CO² and 0² in order to determine the efficiency of an appliance, and that's about it. It won't have anything to do with a crack. After making all of these phone calls and sending all of these emails, I don't think I'll ever recommend another furnace certification. The efficiency of a furnace doesn't have anything to do with a cracked heat exchanger.
Saint Louis Park has it right I guess the City of Saint Louis Park has had it right for a long time; when they do their Point-Of-Sale Evaluations, they automatically require a certification on furnaces over 20 years old, and they also require a smoke bomb or leak seek test, which is specifically designed to test for a cracked heat exchanger. I think I'll be recommending a lot of leak seek tests.
Don't Call CenterPoint The local gas company, Centerpoint Energy, offers safety inspections of furnaces for $89. Can you guess why the price is so low? Because it's not a certification! They won't do certifications on furnaces, much less smoke bomb or leak seek tests. Almost half the time I recommend a furnace certification, someone ends up calling the gas company instead, and to no surprise, the gas company says everything is fine. I called CenterPoint to see how it was so easy for people to confuse a certification with a basic safety check, and I was quite surprised. Here's how the conversation went:
Me: Hi, can I have my furnace inspected?
Centerpoint: Why, did an inspector suspect a problem with it, or are you selling your house?
Me: Yes, the people buying my house want to make sure it's safe.
Centerpoint: I'm sorry, we don't offer that type of service. You'll need to contact a private HVAC contractor.
The gas company was very clear about not offering certifications or anything close to that. So how does the local gas company show up at the majority of houses that I'm recommending certifications on? It's probably a communication problem. I tell the buyer to get a certification, they tell their agent, that agent tells the seller's agent, and the seller's agent tells the seller. The seller eventually hears "Get your furnace checked out".
From now on, I'll be recommending leak seek tests when I suspect a cracked heat exchanger. One of the better companies that I contacted does certifications for $135, and they always do smoke bomb tests or leak seek tests when they suspect a problem.

Harvest for white grapes in California is quickly approaching. In case any of you are lucky enough to visit a winery during this special season, below is a cheat-sheet for the "Top 10" commonly used terms.
1. Malolactic Fermentation: Often referred to simply as "ML," this chemical process converts harsh malic acid to softer lactic acid
2. Rack: siphon wine into a new, clean barrel leaving the sediment of debris behind
3. Cap: hard top that forms during fermentation at the top of the tank, (composed of skins which are flavor & color saturated)
4. Punch-down: Pushing down the cap so that it mixes with the liquid
5. Pump-over: pump juice over the cap during fermentation to extract color, flavor & tannins
6. Fine: clarify or make the wine more clear
7. On the lees: wine in contact with the cellular debris of yeasts & grape skins
8. Green harvest: to cut off excess grapes (usually in June or July) in order to
concentrate the flavors of those left on the vine
9. Saignée (sen-yay): French word for "bleeding." Often times used when referring to making a rosé. Very young red wine juice (barely pink-tinged) is
removed from the vat early and vinified separately.
10. Methode Champenoise: this term can only legally be used in the French wine district of Champagne. It denotes that the 2nd fermentation was done in the bottle.

Welcome 2018.
|Snagar Development Site
Happy New Year - If you celebrate
Just wanted to drop by and congratulate all who are celebrating the new year.
Welcome 2018.
Hi all,
There is always a sense of excitement before releasing a new version or major one, to say the list, but there is always a short list of "what I would have like to fix or enhance after this build" too.
After publishing the first Alpha build: v3.0.160 I started working on:
This is a short list, but it can consume a lot of time to make it right.
Currently I'm working on fixing some aspects of the documentation, mainly the script part. Version v3.0.160 was not ready for script writing, from documentation point of view. I believe I nailed most of the issues, and I'm also working on a short scripting guide to make it easier to understand, unfortunately that does not mean that scripting is easy nor hard, it just a feature that needs to be approached carefully at first (it won't bite though). I strongly suggest to first work with the examples I'll upload, and then try your own.
The other big change I would like to implement in the next alpha build, is how the plugin reads missions and how many mission files can be defined in one folder, mainly: "{xp install}/Custom Scenery/missionx/{my mission folder}/briefer"
Currently you can only set one mission file per mission folder. The next build will solve this, by reading ALL xml files in the "briefer" folder, and any valid file with a briefer image will be registered and displayed. The benefits:
Bugs - There are always bugs that need to be squashed, and in the next build some major ones, related mainly to scripts, were fixed.
Some words on scripting
Since scripting is based on MY-BASIC interpreter, it is advisable to read the reference guide. But, please do remember that we only need to write a short script to handle logic, and not to build a whole application using MY-BASIC.
The "MY-BASIC" scripting should only enhance the "Logic" part of the mission. We should use scripting for, but it is not limited to:
Some functionality might not be achieved without exposing the capability in the plugin (like modifying Dataref value). In such cases, contact me and send me a direct e-mail with request/suggestion for enhancement.
Until next time
Hi All,
After weeks, well more like months, of work and sweat, the first build of the next version of Mission-X will be uploaded. It is not backward compatible with previous versions, but it try to retain the framework it was built on, but with the ability to execute scripts as part of the flow of the mission.
Unfortunately, many features that are present in Mission-X v2 were not implemented and might not be implemented directly into the plugin. Some can be just scripted with enough experience.
The main goal of this build, is to introduce the plugin and the new concepts in it. It will have only one mission as an example, and it won't have the scripting part demo yet, since there is some work to be done, mainly documentation.
This build demonstrate the:
* The Nuklear library is being used since it solved me the True Type Font implementation. My personal preference is to always use LR XPSDK even for UI and even if it won't look sexy.
This might not seem much, but since it is a complete re-write of the code, there was much effort invested in it and I hope the result will be acceptable by Mission designers.
What kind of mission can you expect to create
This alpha build aims to introduce XML mission creation. Simple "to and from" locations, with few messages.
In 75% of these missions, this kind of interaction should be enough
What about embedded scripts
I already have a demo for the embedded scripting, but I think it is too early and documentation is not ready yet (you will see what I mean if you would get the chance to read the new designer guide).
In the future build, I will add embedded examples to the demo mission.
My problem is mainly time and the desire to implement more features, I want to implement the 3D Object feature, which is a large component from programming side, which come at the expense of writing documentation and preparing tutorials.
I will have to decide though.
Once the alpha build will be published, if you are designer then please go over the documentation first. Take your time, and go over the mission file and the packaging rules (location of mission files and folders). The demo mission is a simple implementation of one of v2 missions.
Please do remember that this is an early bird build, so changes might take place.
Until next time
Creation is something I always wanted to do. Since I'm not that good in painting/writing, I decided to contribute in programming.

Since 2001, Genie9 has worked on developing backup and security software for home and business PC users. The Genie9 products designed for home users are extremely simple and easy to use. According to Genie9, Genie Timeline Home is more than just a data-storage application, it is a feature-packed backup suite that manages to keep files safe without any fuss. Since Genie9 clearly has a lot of confidence in their products, we were extremely excited to test out Genie Timeline Home.
Timeline is simple to use. Install the program, select the destination for the data to be backed up (an entire drive or partition is required), select the files that you want to back up, and then just allow the program to do its stuff.
The program runs when it's necessary which means when your files have been changed and your PC is idle. Genie Timeline Home 10 gets installed quickly and without any issues.
Genie Timeline Home 10:
– Back to the past with the timeline, you can restore the state of any file at a certain point in time.
– Backs up all your important data from your computer so you don't have to.
– Backs up new and modified files; detects changes.
– Keeps versions to recover older or deleted files.
– Protects mobile data synced to your computer.
System performance
Where Timeline really shines is browsing backups for the data you want to restore. You may, of course, search by file name, but if you're not sure which version you want or even whether that version exists, you may drag a slider back through time to check for files as granularly as half an hour. Most people can remember at least vaguely the last time they had a good copy of a file, so being able to scroll back through time can be exceedingly helpful.
Help & support
As per the customers' feedback:
Jacques Prinsloo:
"Very VERY good Support & I didn't even have to wait very long for the very detailed response from them.
They are there when you need them and that alone counts BigTime for me.
Keep up the great Software, Support & Service. :)"
From start to finish, Genie Timeline Home 10 is effective and easy to use. It guides users through the backup process and restores files in an intuitive manner. As an added bonus, this software does all of these things without draining system resources. However, Genie Timeline Home is not perfect. Advanced users may find this software's lack of customization options a little frustrating. All things considered, Genie Timeline Home is an excellent piece of data-backup software, especially for novices.

As the winter holidays approach, the list of possible gift-giving occasions is long. There are hostess gifts for holiday parties. Then there are gifts of seasonal cheer or thanks for friends, family, teachers and other personal and professional contacts. Ideally we would choose an individualized gift for each person on the list. But in the reality of today's busy world, that's not always practical. One smart way to give each person on the list a thoughtful gift while staying sane and on budget: buy amaryllis bulbs for everyone – at wholesale prices.

Those in the know consider amaryllis bulbs unbeatable holiday gifts. The large unassuming bulbs produce huge tropical flowers with little effort – no green thumb needed. Each top-quality bulb produces multiple flowers that can bloom successively for weeks. Amaryllis gifts can be as simple as a bare bulb wrapped in tissue paper or presented ready to grow in a pot with soil.

Emma and I had a good day together. We started out early taking Aaron to the sitter's house. Today was her first day back and she had surprises for the two toddlers she keeps - brand new Lightening McQueen trikes! They were stoked to say the least!
Since it was just me and my big girl for the rest of the day I figured we'd make a day of it. We started with breakfast as The Egg & I, hit up the mall for a while and got her a haircut while we were there. It ended up I had to go into work for a bit, so Emma got to play office for a while! She thinks it is fun to play with everything in my office and write on my dry erase.
After work was finished she wanted to go ice skating, so I froze my tootsies off while she whirled around the rink. She's gotten pretty good, too. She can spin around once and make it quite a while without needing to hang onto the rail. She also didn't use the walker at all this time! She skated enough to work up an appetite and it was around 2pm by then so we had a late lunch at Salata.
Tonight my big girl is at her first sleep over other than at my parents' house. Granted it is just next door, but its still her first sleepover with a friend. I've been keeping busy this evening so I don't call and check on her every five minutes!! Aaron kept us surely entertained tonight, though and surprisingly was pretty okay with Emma being next door. He only asked for her a couple times!

TYF Flag: Orange Pride Splits Pair Of Mighty Mite Games
Sep 17, 2015 11:02AM
By Bill Gilman
(Editor's note: The following information was submitted by Tewksbury Youth Football.)
Tiny Mights
Kindergarten-1st grade
Green Pride 18, Blue Pride 15
It was an exciting start to the season for the Green and Blue Tiny Mights, with Luke Draper scoring a touchdown on the final play to win the game. Draper, Corey Knoxis and Evan Brothers stood out for the Green squad.
Mighty Mites
2nd-3rd grade
Red Pride 28, Orange Pride 21
Orange Pride 26, Silver Pride 18
Orange Pride played two games on Sunday, losing to Red Pride before toppling Silver Pride in their second game.
Orange scored seven touchdowns in the two games scattered between Robert Welch, Miller Brooks, Nathan Galanis and Benjamin Barrasso. Defensive standouts for Orange included Jared Mirisola, Michael Donahoe and James Brooks.
Silver Pride played well in defeat, highlighted by two touchdowns from Kyle Sandberg, including a long touchdown reception from quarterback Evan Deieon on the final play of the game. On the defensive side for Silver, Cameron Guender had a big interception while Noah Sederquist captured a nice flag in the open field. Deoion scored Silver Pride's third touchdown.
Blue Pride 49, Green Pride 35
Nick Kearney and John Sullivan scored a pair of touchdowns to lead Blue Pride to an opening day victory in a high-scoring affair. Tyler Crawford went all the way for a long touchdown before the half for Blue. Jack Young and Evan Festa played well on defense for the victors.
The Goldman brothers led the Green Pride team in the shootout. Older brother Jackson had a long touchdown run, while younger brother Logan had two long runs for scores. The Green Pride played hard, but the double reverses of the Blue Pride team proved too much in the end.
Super Mights
4th-5th grade
Blue Pride 32, Green Pride 12
Blue Pride started out on offense and went right to the passing game, scoring on a Cam Kearney strike to Richie Bongiorno to put Blue up 8-0. Green quickly answered back when Kyle Adams ran a tight slant and quarterback Will Forbes hit him in stride. Prior to the touchdown, Blue had some great defensive pulls from Jack Rennell, Drew Rennell, Jimmy Holmes and Edward Galante. Blue's Matthew Tramonte played quarterback on the next series, executing some run plays with Justin Magee picking up some nice yardage. Green held strong with some heady defense by Shaun Martin, Sam Ros, and Scott Lightburn. Kearney and Bongiorno found the end zone again before the end of the half.
Green Pride came out firing to start the second half, picking up a quick touchdown when Ian Shpritzer found the sure-handed Shea Moynihan in traffic. It became a battle of the defenses from there as Blue's defensive unit turned it up with some great pulls from Michael Parent and Ryan Sorrentino, and some nice pass breakups from Tramonte and the Rennells. Green's big man, Brandon Conley, made his presence known while Carter Forbes, Calvin Caliendo, and Evan Galanis provided tight coverage on Blue's receivers. Blue Pride's Bongiorno had a key interception return for a touchdown, which was followed by a great run for the conversion from Drew Nestor.
Red Pride 29, Orange Pride 20
The Orange Pride saw themselves in a quick 14-0 hole, but a strong touchdown run by Ben Doucette and an interception return for a touchdown by Brandon Contardi pulled Orange back into the game. Orange Pride played some tough defense with the Nghibi twins, Alexander and Anthony, wreaking havoc on the Red offense. With strong coverage by Tristan Leslie, DJ Bressette and Ryan Thompson, the Orange team kept the game within reach.
On the Red Pride side, Quinn Brown busted a 40-yard run for the first touchdown of the game, while Andrew Estrabrook's 30-yard dash put Red up early. The pair would end with two touchdowns apiece for Red Pride.
With time running down in the game, Orange Pride's Michael Hill threw a perfect pass to Doucette for another touchdown. After a failed 2-point conversion that would have tied the game, Red Pride scored another touchdown to pull away in a tough-fought affair. Zach Hayes and Connor Broderick scored the 2-point conversion on the final touchdown to secure the victory.
The Red Pride defense was led by Jack Callahan, Luke Montejo, Cameron Heichman and Ben Piccolo—who came up big with big drive-stopping interception.

BEIJING, July 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- iQIYI, Inc. (NASDAQ: IQ) ("iQIYI" or the "Company"), an innovative market-leading online entertainment service in China, and ACM International Conference on Multimedia ("ACM MM")'s jointly held 2019 Celebrity Video Identification Challenge (the "Challenge") officially came to a close after three months of competition. At this year's AI competition, a total of 255 teams including iQIYI along with top foreign and domestic universities, such as Carnegie Mellon University, University College London, University of Exeter, Tsinghua University, Peking University, as well as well-known companies, such as Baidu, ZTE, JD.com, Meitu, and Nvidia, worked together to once again make a major breakthrough in video-based multimodal person identification technology. An accuracy rate of 91.14% was achieved by the team from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications' ("BUPT") Automation School, who won first place.
Liu Wenfeng, iQIYI's Chief Technology Officer and President of Infrastructure and Intelligent Content Distribution Business Group (IIG), said, "The Challenge continues to make breakthroughs. In addition to adding important value to iQIYI's entertainment environment, it also creates far-reaching effects on the advancement of person identification technology as well as academic research and professional training in the field."
In recent years, many tech companies and academic institutions around the world have released video datasets to improve the accuracy of person recognition to better solve many of the difficult problems in the video industry. Among them, Oxford University has released the VoxCeleb2 dataset, which includes more than 6,000 human figures and 150,000 videos, to focus on solving the problem of speaker recognition. In order to better decipher characters in videos, the Chinese University of Hong Kong and SenseTime jointly released CSM data sets, which includes 1,218 characters and 127,000 videos. The YouTube Faces DB developed at Tel Aviv University in Israel has 3,425 video clips and 1,595 characters to solve face recognition problems in constrained environments.
At the contest, iQIYI announced a more challenging, detailed data set, iQIYI-VID-2019, with 10,000 celebrity figures, 200 hours of content, and 200,000 video clips of films, dramas and short videos, which was more relevant to the actual application scenarios. The data set included four kinds of multimodal features: face, head, body, and voiceprint. The participating teams did not need to use their own computing resources to extract these features, which greatly reduces the threshold for hardware resources in the competition, attracts more top academic teams from around the world, and accelerates the continuous evolution of facial recognition technology. The BUPT Automation School team, who won first place, re-extracted the facial feature on aligned faces and used these five types of modal features to train a multimodal classification model, improving the accuracy rate of the multimodal identification technology to 91.14%, increasing 2.5pp from last year.
The latest multimodal algorithms used at the competition will be valuable to iQIYI's many services, such as improving the HomeAI voice interactive platform, enhancing the user's video interaction experience, making AIWorks intelligent video content more accurate in long-form videos, generating short-form video content more quickly, and further elevating the efficiency of iQIYI "iMAM" (iQIYI Media Asset Management) to create high-quality content. In the future iQIYI will continue to cooperate with both domestic and foreign academic institutions and industry leaders to continuously improve the exploration and implementation of cutting-edge technology.

The dollar may get a respite this Wednesday, April 27, when Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke may signal a pending transition in Fed policy. However, any near-term dollar strength is likely to be short-lived and we expect the orderly decline in the dollar to continue and maintain the favorable, mirror- image-like relationship with the stock market.View the entire market commentary.

Birchbox June 2014 swaps
sleepykat replied to biancardi's topic in Subscription Box Swaps TalkI'm not sure what I want, but I have the following available from my June Birchbox if you have something I want more, plus the items on my trade list which is in my signature: Vasanti BrightenUp! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator, 20g Cynthia Rowley Eyeliner (silver), 0.8g Folle de Joie eau de parfum, sample spray (spritzed once)
What do you think of colored wedding dress?
sleepykat replied to addybrook's topic in Everything BridalMy dress was silver. I love the blush and champagne colors that are available. Pale smoky purple would be lovely. My friend got married last year and had a beautiful black dress that still looked happy. White doesn't look good on me.
I still haven't tried my Love Angeline but this was the other on my want list. Very cute!!! Thanks! It was my first time trying this brand. I was very happy with it.
Last night I switched to Orly Milky Way. I love the unusual color combination so much, but the polish is so chock full of glitter that it's gritty and thick and hard to work with. I don't think it's supposed to be textured, but it would take a lot of top coat for it to become smooth. It also chips easily. Next time I will add a little polish thinner and see if it improves. Either way, I love the effect of the dense glitter and the color contrast.
Love Angeline Ta-Da! This is three coats (without cleanup or cuticle oil), but two would have worked. I believe I used Poshe top coat. I wore this for the past three days.
Quote: Originally Posted by prettylights Easter nails! I bought this color a few months ago but hadn't used it yet. Zoya Josie 2 coats with Seche top coat. It's so green and pretty that I want to eat it! I think tomorrow I'm going to add Orly Sparkling Garbage over the top or to a few accent nails which is one of my favorite polishes ever. It's a green/blue based holo that looks fantastic either alone or over shades like this. PS. Yep, I was bored at a stop light. I'm one of those weird people who take pictures of my nails in the car, ha ha! I'm one of those weird people, too, although I usually do it when my husband is driving.

Ok so I just did some research on the fake eBay OPIs, wow there's tons of info out there. I should have researched this first. I have only bought 3 OPIs off eBay so far. The first one was obviously either a fake or illegally being resold but I didn't realize it - I just thought they sent me the wrong color. But now that I looked at it closely the serial number has been filed off the bottle and there's no bottom label, just a really old looking label on the side of the bottle that has a bar code. The formula is also weird, I'm going to toss it. The other two I just bought, I'm Indi-A Mood for Love and Lucky Lucky Lavender, have all the correct things on the bottle and the green labels on the bottom with serial numbers that match the OPI website, so that's good! I now know OPI has a huge problem with fakes/illegally sold merch so now I feel kinda bad for buying off eBay. I love their brand so I should just support them directly instead of trying to save a few bucks. I get mine from TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and Ross. There is also a little salon/beauty supply by me that puts the seasonal collections on clearance whenever they move on to the next season, at 50% off. I can't remember if Sally Beauty does something like that...

I entered in every single day that was going on and when prizes started going out ( I think there was like 25k of them) on Saturday I was convinced I didn't win and was really upset. People are selling them on Ebay ( I don't want to recommend that option because I don't support people taking away from other people winning who genuinely wanted them but if you didn't win/ enter and you want them that's the only way to get them). Today when I went to check my mail thinking it was the box for my mini's I didn't even read who it was from until I was staring at the coupon for a free dark chocolate bar. I actually prefer the taste of dark chocolate over milk chocolate but of the two polishes the milk chocolate one stole my heart. I am not a brown polish fan despite owning many of them. There's something different about this one. It almost has a pink shimmer in it and literally looks like melted chocolate on my fingers. I can not think of any more appropriate "chocolate" brown I have ever seen. This is two coats no top coat. You can see it's so shiny you can see the green reflected off my wall 6 ft away from it. I am also dying because it's making me want to lick my fingers and I don't have any actual chocolate in my house at the moment. That's beautiful. I love brown polish, and chocolate.
That's a good idea, but I wonder how long it will be until they go on clearance. Â Maybe I could pick up just a few shades I'm lemming over now and get the other half of the set, the more wintery shades, later on clearance. Â eBay has a few of the shades for only 5 dollars from certain sellers right now. I am also waiting until they go on sale. eBay is swamped with fake OPI polishes.

I'm not blaming Beauty Army for that; however, how they handle the problem will determine whether I cancel. They can either replace the box (with items besides tea and diet aids!) or refund my payment. I'm not even sure if I want them to give me credit towards a future box--there was a reason I skipped for six months, most of the offerings were either dupes or shady diet products, which I find inappropriate in a beauty-related sub. I will second the suggestion to try Sample Society, for anyone who wants a decent balance of predominantly beauty-related products at a reasonable price! They tend to be a little more skin care and treatment-heavy, and don't send out makeup as frequently as others, but the quality of their samples is excellent and most of the time they're very generously sized. (edited to correct sentence error!) Yes, I seem to recall Sample Society sending well-known, high-end brands for the most part.

Small fire at Greenwich High School
GREENWICH — Firefighters and other emergency responders were called to Greenwich High School after an electronic device caught fire at lunchtime Wednesday, officials said.
Interim Headmaster Ralph Mayo sent out an email to the school community about the incident.
"During lunch block today a chromebook that was being handled inappropriately by several students caused the device to smoke and flame. The flames were extinguished within 10 seconds," Mayo said in the email.
"The fire alarm was pulled by the Assistant Headmaster for the safety of all, and the Greenwich Fire Department and Greenwich Police Department came and took control of the device," Mayo said.
An investigation is ongoing into the incident, he said.
"All students were evacuated from the student center, the five houses and the media center for a short period of time. Once the Greenwich Fire Marshal gave permission, all students re-entered the building safely," Mayo said.
It was unclear what the students were doing to make the electronic device catch fire.
Deputy Fire Chief Keith Millette said the department was called about an electronic device on fire.
"It was on fire in the student center. The staff had already extinguished the fire when we got there, and they had the situation under control," he said. The fire marshal's office was called out to make sure there was no public-health threat.

Maple Leaf Foods considers selling its bakery business by early 2014
Food processor looking for costs savings as part of a seven year manufacturing plan.
TORONTO — Maple Leaf Foods has put its bakery business on the auction block as it explores possibilities that would get the most out of its 90% stake in Canada Bread.
Chief executive Michael McCain said that while the company hasn't decided the future of the bread operations, a sale is on the shortlist of possibilities.
"We started a process to consider alternatives," he said in an interview.
If a deal materializes, popular brands like Dempster's, Tenderflake, and Olivieri pastas would find themselves in the hands of a new owner.
Maple Leaf has been scouring its operations for cost savings as part of a seven-year restructuring plan that would improve the profits of the overall business, which is primarily focused on meat products.
"The bakery business performance has plateaued – at a high level, but plateaued over the course of the last few years," McCain said.
A decision to court potential buyers comes after Maple Leaf found that revamping its bread operations over the next five years would involve further cost cutting and expansion plans that "require resources, focus and management time and effort," McCain said.
The extra time and effort would be dedicated to reigniting consumer interest in bread and "revitalizing the category," McCain told analysts on a conference call.
The company would also need to reduce expenses in other ways, which would likely include layoffs and other expense reductions.
Those efforts come with "some measure of risk" for the company, he added.
Before Maple Leaf decides its next steps, the company plans to see who else might want to take on the responsibility.
Analyst Bob Gibson at Octagon Capital Corp. said he was surprised by Maple Leaf's decision to weigh a sale of the assets, and he sees potential problems in trying to separate the bread and meat divisions.
"There's too much integration between the two companies," he said. "I don't think it makes sense."
Gibson said the bakery operations have delivered relatively consistent earnings over time, while the pork business "fluctuates all over the place."
"You have a couple of good years and a couple of lousy years," he said.
Meanwhile, shareholders appeared optimistic that a deal would be carved out, with Maple Leaf stock up $1.33, or 10%, to close at $14.63.
This year, the company's stock has risen about 22% on rumours that outsiders could acquire pieces or even the entire company.
Canada's largest food processor has been undergoing major changes for several years as part of a $1.3-billion restructuring plan that involved shutting down several plants and selling others.
Maple Leaf closed two bakeries in the Greater Toronto Area and consolidated production at a new bakery in nearby Hamilton, Ont.
Maple Leaf also recently sold its Rothsay rendering business to Darling International, a Texas-based business, and this summer reached an agreement to transfer its commercial turkey farms, hatchery operation and breeding farms to two Ontario-based companies.

Witness tells court gang 'held down Tavis as he was stabbed'
PUBLISHED: 13:20 09 January 2019 | UPDATED: 13:38 09 January 2019
A witness in the Tavis Spencer-Aitkens murder trial has described seeing a group of hooded youths jump on the teenager on the day he was stabbed.
The witness told a jury at Ipswich Crown Court that he was at a house in Packard Avenue, Ipswich on the afternoon of June 2 when he saw 17-year-old Tavis run past the window and slip over.
He described seeing Tavis crawl over a driveway before three or four males with their hoods up jumped on him and then lay on him to keep him down.
The witness, who cannot be identified, said he saw at least two of the males "thumping" Tavis and demonstrated what he saw by punching his fist forward level with his side.
"I think it was three or four times," he added.
He told the court that Tavis had been lying on his side unable to do anything during the attack, which he estimated lasted a minute.
He described seeing some of Tavis's attackers getting up and running off, then seeing one of them turn to leave but then turn back and "whack" Tavis over the head with a wine bottle which "exploded".
When the witness went outside he saw Tavis half way down the road and described him as "swaying".
He said he hadn't realised Tavis had been stabbed until he noticed some blood near one of Tavis' trainers which he'd left behind.
Before the court are Aristote Yenge, 23, of Spring Road, Ipswich, Adebayo Amusa, 20, of Sovereign Road, Barking, Callum Plaats, 23, of Ipswich, Isaac Calver, 19, of Firmin Close, Ipswich, a 16-year-old boy who cannot be named for legal reasons and Leon Glasgow, 42, of no fixed address.They all deny murdering Tavis, of Pownall Road, Ipswich on June 2 last year.
Oliver Glasgow QC, prosecuting, has alleged the attack on Tavis was the result of rivalry between the "J-Block" group, which took its name from Jubilee Park area of Ipswich where they lived, and the "Neno" group who came from the Nacton area of the town, for what "J-Block" perceived to be a loss of respect following a row between two of their friends and two of Tavis' friends earlier on the day in question.
On that occasion two members of "Neno" had confronted two members of "J-Block" in Ipswich town centre resulting in the two "J-Block" members taking refuge in a shop.
Mr Glasgow told the court the fact that members of "Neno" had confronted the "J-Block" members so close to their home turf and the fact that the "J-Block" members had run and hidden rather than stood their ground gave the "moral victory" to "Neno".
He claimed that within a couple of hours members of "J-Block" had been rounded up, they had got hold of a van and a driver and set off for the Nacton area of Ipswich looking for a member or members of "Neno" to exact revenge.
On that afternoon Tavis had visited his family home in Packard Avenue and had something to eat before setting of to see a friend to help him rebuild a car.
Later that afternoon he returned to the house to pick up some tools and when he left he was in good spirits.
"That was the last time his family were to see him alive and well. Later that afternoon, only yards from where his family live, Tavis was attacked by a group of young men," said Mr Glasgow.
"That group had travelled to the area where Tavis lived seeking revenge for what they perceived to be a loss of respect; that loss of respect had been caused when two of their friends had had a row with two of Tavis's friends earlier that day.
"The defendants settled the score by smashing a bottle over Tavis's head and stabbing him 15 times."
The trial continues.

Here is the 12 ga single I'll be restoring. Going to be trying it this weekend in the grouse woods. I was playing with swinging it last night and think it swings rather nice, and is a load lighter than my 870. Still debating on what finish I want to use on it.
I imagine I will have to have my thumb on the hammer at all times and trigger finger pointed down the barrel, and on the ready. I am excited to try this guy out and see how it will work for me.
I want a nice double gun but hope this will get my by for now. I am unsure of what it is choked too, but am hoping it is improved or modified. I will throw up a few pattern shots with it before going out and see how it does.
Wondering if anyone out there has used a single for upland hunting, and if that hammer is a big issue. I will have to remember to put it back on safety for sure. I will be using Remington nitro sporting clays with 1 1/8 oz of 7.5. I was surprised at how much they actually kicked out of the 870 and can see this will be whacking me with the light single shot.

After the Great Depression in the late 1920s, a small band of state employees got together to discuss the needs of their fellow workers and how they might be able to find a way to provide small loans to one another in times of emergency.
According to the original By-Laws, "The purpose of this credit union is to promote thrift among its members, by affording them the opportunity for accumulating their savings, and to create for them a source of credit for loans for provident and productive purposes." This original purpose has never been altered. The charter was approved on October 18, 1935.
When the credit union began, it took only .25 cents to join and a fully paid share was $5.00. Membership was limited to employees located in the State House building and their immediate families. By the end of the '30s, 437 of 500 potential members had enrolled.
In the 40's, the workload caused the Treasurer's hours to be increased. The year 1942 was declared unsuccessful due to the war, loss of members and share and loan balances. In 1944, the enactment of the Credit Union Law made it possible to convert from a federal to a state credit union. We became Maine State Employees' Credit Union, and our charter was broadened to include all state employees as potential members.
In 2004, we were granted a community charter so that anyone who lives, works, worships, or attends school in Kennebec County is eligible for membership. At the beginning of 2005, Maine State Employees' Credit Union changed its name to Maine State Credit Union to reflect the transition to a community charter.
In 2006, we merged with Greater Waterville Area Federal Credit Union and opened the Greater Waterville branch at 81 Grove Street. At that time, we also expanded our field of membership to include Somerset County.See http://www.mainestatecu.org/

GPs urged to use aspirin in patients at colorectal Ca risk

A study published in the latest issue of The Lancet found long-term use of 300mg or more of aspirin a day for five years was effective at preventing colorectal cancer, writes Cato Pedder.But an accompanying commentary warned against rushing to increase aspirin use and insisted it was not yet proven that the benefits outweighed the risks.The study determined the long-term effect of aspirin by following up patients from two large randomised trials performed in the late 1970s and early 1980s involving 7,588 patients. It found use of aspirin for five years reduced the subsequent incidence of colorectal cancer by 37% overall, and by 74% 10-15 years after treatment was started.Professor Peter Rothwell, leader of the study, said aspirin cut the incidence of colorectal cancer by so much that those at risk of the disease, including those with a family history or colorectal polyps, should consider taking it daily. GPs might now decide to use aspirin in preference to newer, more expensive antiplatelet drugs in patients with vascular disease because of the added protective benefits, he added.Professor Rothwell, professor of clinical neurology at the University of Oxford, said: 'The main group at risk of colorectal cancer is those with a family history of the disease; they are two to four times more likely to get it. So to have their risk reduced by a half to three-quarters would be worthwhile.'But in the accompanying commentary Dr Andrew Chan, a gastroenterologist in the Massachusetts General Hospital, US, said: 'With the concerns about the potential risks of long-term aspirin use and the availability of alternative prevention strategies, for example screening, these findings are not sufficient to warrant a recommendation for the general population to use aspirin for cancer prevention.'But Professor Rothwell said Dr Chan was talking from a US perspective where screening for colorectal cancer was much more widespread than in Europe. He claimed the study was a significant step forward in preventing cancer. 'Now we have proven aspirin can prevent at least one cancer, it might be worth looking in more detail at other cancers,' he said.
How aspirin cuts cancer risk• Long-term use of 300mg or more of aspirin a day for five years can prevent colorectal cancer• Effect is only seen after latency of 10 years• Protective benefits of aspirin are not related to age, sex, race or country in which study was carried out• Aspirin equally effective in individuals with and without family history of colorectal cancer

As it says on the Cheltenham Racecourse Website "Football has Wembley, Tennis has Wimbledon and Jump racing has Cheltenham". Already all roads lead to Cheltenham in March 2012. The three Day Cheltenham Open Meeting kicks off this Friday (11th November) with the main race being the Paddy Power Gold Cup Handicap Chase run on Saturday. Long Run ran third in this last year before going on to win the King George VI Chase at Kempton and the Cheltenham Gold Cup. In the Gold Cup we had one of the most exciting finishers seen for a number of years with Kauto Star, Denman and Long Run all rising as one (as pictured) at the second last fence. This years Paddy Power Gold Cup Chase which is worth £150,000.00 and run over 2 miles 4 furlongs looks as though it will go off with the maximum number of twenty runners. Poquelin heads the weights and has probably been left in so that his stable companion, Mon Parrain, can run off the handy weight of 10 stone 8 pounds. Ruby Walsh comes over from Ireland to take the ride. Wishful Thinking from the Phillip Hobbs stable also has strong claims along with Great Endeavour from the David Pipe stable.
In the final race on Friday, the Steel Plate and Sections Novices' Chase, Grand Crus makes his chasing debut. He receives 5lb from Cue Card who has already won over the bigger obstacles. It will be an interesting race over the 2 miles 4 furlongs. Earlier in the afternoon Garde Champetre looks a worthy favourite in the Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase run over 3 miles 7 furlongs. Provided the years have not caught up with him he is a standing dish in these races.
On Sunday Fingal Bay reappears in the Neptune Investment Management Novices' Hurdle run over 2 miles 5 furlongs. He was mighty impressive at Chepstow and is highly thought of by the Phillip Hobbs stable.
