First off, I'm probably not the principal target audience for this. The novel appears to be classified as Young Adult, and I'm neither, and the central character is yet again a teenage girl. But on the other hand I'm a fan of apocalypse movies and "empty world" stories (The Day Of The Triffids, The Omega Man), so anything in which The Bomb goes off or 99% of the population are otherwise disposed of pretty swiftly is usually okay with me. However, in this case there's a struggle to find the right tone between the teenie romance and the horrors of post-nuke Britain, and I don't think they've entirely found it.
Essentially How I Live Now is a cross between The Famous Five and Threads: Daisy (Saoirse Ronan) has been reluctantly shipped off to cousins somewhere in Norfolk and is having a generally rotten time until she sees her strapping neighbour: sensitive, kind, good with animals. But then the endless games in the hazy summer countryside are brought rudely to a halt by unidentified extremists exploding a nuclear weapon in London. Rather than face evacuation, they decide to stay where they are, until the Army turn up and take them away to farms and military training camps. Daisy and her youngest cousin plan their escape back to the farmhouse, through the woods and the horrors of war....
It's difficult to reconcile the idyllic rural larking about (there is very little adult presence in the film) and hesitant relationship of the first half hour with scenes such as Daisy working through a courtyard full of corpses to see if her cousins are there. There's enough horrific imagery in the film to guarantee the 15 certificate that cuts out that YA/"tweenie" demographic (there's also a smattering of F-words, and a curious, very brief and entirely unnecessary nude dream sequence). It's also a very quick series of about-changes for her character: from her sullen, unsocial arrival when she's actually more interesting, through love-struck teen (a change apparently brought about by nothing more than being pushed into the river) to gritty survivalist prepared to kill.
Still, in spite of it never quite getting the tone right, I rather enjoyed How I Live Now: it conveys enough of the possible chaos and massive disruption to everyday English life to make it plausibly chilling, and frankly to keep a 50-year-old bloke like me interested when the drippy teen stuff kicks in. I can't remember why I didn't catch it on its cinema release, though, as it's generally the sort of thing I go for. I'd be surprised if I come back to it any time soon, but I liked it well enough.

Five years ago today, I walked into my corporate office for the last time. I turned in my employee badge, my laptop, took the rest of the odds & ends from my desk, and bade farewell to the folks I'd spent the last two years working alongside. I was SO EXCITED!
And terrified.
But mostly excited!
See, the day I gave my notice that I'd be leaving my corporate job was the same day we found out that Matt's position at the church was being dissolved as of July 1. So, in short, I was quitting a very stable 9-5 gig, not knowing whether Matt would have a job a month after my quit date. And everyone thought we were nuts!
But we just KNEW this was what we were being called to do- to step out, make a huge leap of faith, despite the fact that it looked totally crazy from the outset.
Because truthfully, doing both my 9-5 and my photography business was making life really hard. I was tired, stressed out, and on the verge of tears more often than not, due to the amount of time I was putting in across both efforts- 80 hours a week combined was my new normal. And though part of that comes with the territory of building a small business, Matt & I reached a breaking point- I couldn't keep burning the candle at both ends indefinitely. We were newlyweds, and I had worked away the first year and a half of our marriage.
So we made the decision that the chance was worth taking, because being able to enjoy life together was more important to us than being safe and risk-free.
And here we are, five years later. Not only did I survive, but we're doing even better than I could have possibly imagined! We're a husband and wife team, working from home, we're able to take time off as we need and want without worrying about using all our corporately-allotted vacation days… we're able to do MORE of life together.
Five years feels like a big accomplishment. It's one of the most common benchmarks you hear quoted when talking about small business failure; something like 50% of all new small businesses won't make it to their fifth birthday. And though I've been in business for seven years, there's something extra exciting about the fact that today marks five years of complete self-sufficiency!
And in honor of half a decade of full-time small biz ownership, I'm doling out five of my best tips for a business that goes the distance!
1. Know your numbers
This is a CRUCIAL mistake that so many entrepreneurs make- heck, it's one that I made, too! In the name of loving what I do, I mis-charged for a long time because I simply didn't understand what it cost to do business. I didn't have a firm grasp on what my time was worth, on what my out-of-pocket expenses were for each portrait session, wedding, etc. As my friend Adam Mason says, you can survive like that for six months, but not knowing your costs and, as a result, not charging appropriately can put you out of business faster than you can say "business checking account."
2. Avoid burnout by knowing your limits
I'm all for pushing the boundaries of what you believe you're capable of. Absolutely! But I'm also all for knowing yourself and the "absolutely can't go there" breaking points each of us have. And for each person, that's going to look different- maybe you can personally handle a completely packed schedule week in and week out and still feel sane, but I know that for me? That's a recipe for disaster if I don't also build in down time.
Whenever you reach a point of wanting to retreat into a dark hole because of the stress/overwork/whatever, take a moment to figure out what it is that resulted in you getting to that place. And then outline a plan in the future to avoid getting there again. (Read more on that HERE)
3. Find your people
Whether that's other entrepreneurs in your field, or a network of business owners in your area, find other folks who you can encourage and support (and who will do the same for you). Our industry friends-turned-real-life-friends have been the ones to help Matt & I through some of the biggest conundrums & struggles we've encountered with AGP. Whether that's help with diffusing a tense situation with a vendor, or brainstorming new ways to spoil our couples, having people we KNOW we can call on when things are hard has been invaluable. I truly believe that without those people, we would have closed shop a long time ago.
4. Outsource, outsource, outsource
Oh man, this one is so important! I firmly believe that small businesses CANNOT sustainably operate as a one-man/woman show for more than a couple of years. There's just so many different jobs that go into entrepreneurship! If your desire is to GROW your business, to be really, really good at your craft, you need to be willing to let go of the areas of your business that are either holding you back, or are distracting you from excelling at the things you're best at.
This has been a gradual process for me over the last few years and I'll admit- I had a REALLY hard time giving up control. But because I've slowly given away pieces of our business that, let's be honest, were never my strong points anyways (bookkeeping, album design, client gifts, etc), it's enabled us to grow SO MUCH MORE in the areas we really love, the ones that make a big difference in the business! Workshops and products for creative small business owners, my ballerina series, shooting in France, planning The Signature Atelier in Paris with Katherine Bignon- all of these are things I'm able to devote more time to because I've taken the aforementioned tasks off of my plate.
5. Remember why you're in business in the first place
Think of it this way: when you're leaving your house for a particular destination but aren't sure how to get there, you have to type an address into your GPS, correct? Without that address, your phone has no way of helping you navigate- you'd end up driving around without any direction, making little to no progress toward your end destination.
Your business is no different. Andy Stanley's quote from his book Visioneering is one of my favorites: "Vision is a clear mental picture of what could be, fueled by a conviction of what should be." (More on that here!)
Could you run a business without some sort of governing vision or mission? Yeah, you could. But let's be honest: when the going gets tough, how long do you think you would keep plugging away if your purpose isn't tied to something more than just "hey, this'll be fun, right?"
Take the time to process through WHY you're in business in the first place- it can instill a sense of stability and purpose when you're weathering the ups and downs of entrepreneurial life.
Cheers to businesses that go the distance, my friends!
Congrats dear ABBY! This is so big & I loved reading about all of your journey! Thanks for always sharing so honest!! Here is to more adventures & makes those dreams reality! :*

RF7II vs RF7III vs RP8000F vs RP280F
adam2434 replied to superkyle1721's topic in Home TheaterOld thread, but relevant title... Used in a 2-channel system, I first owned RP-280F, then RF-7 II, and now currently RF-7 III. I found the RP-280F to be very bright/piercing at times, the RF-7 II less so, and the RF-7 III to be pretty even and neutral. This is all just my opinion based on the 3 different pair in the same room with the same electronics. For those with direct experience, how do the RP-8000F sound vs. the RP-280F? Are the RP-8000F (and 6000F) toned down at all in the upper mids and highs vs. the RP-280F? Reason I ask is because I am thinking about changing L/C/R speakers in the 5.1 system (separate system in different room). The 8000F or 6000F with the 600C center are in consideration, but are a bit down on the list because of my experience with the RP-280F.
Inexpensive Chip Amplifier
adam2434 replied to Sancho Panza's topic in Solid StateI keep this little, cheap battery powered Dayton amp in my car just for the purpose of testing speakers at thrift stores, CL, garage sales, etc. I just plug my phone in for the source. Not much power, but enough to determine if all drivers are functioning. https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-dta-1-class-d-ac-dc-battery-powered-mini-amplifier-15-wpc--300-380?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=pla&gclid=CjwKCAjw5dnmBRACEiwAmMYGOTCsROEiM9TtXXAZPIXNBdjP7KwVSQ_xt7XtKfcKja34MZjc0W8TLRoCLGoQAvD_BwE
What's the best way to battle ear fatigue?
adam2434 replied to audiowarrior's topic in Home TheaterI'm not familiar with the OP's speakers, so I can't say if they are inherently bright. However, I have owned (and since sold) speakers that I thought were excessively bright and fatiguing (some Klipsch and some from other brands), even in rooms that have a decent amount of absorption. I'd say don't be afraid to try some treble control reduction and/or EQ. Assuming you ran the Audyssey calibration, for starters, you can try Audyssey "Reference" (which applies some HF roll-off EQ) and play with DEQ on/off. You can also further adjust the treble control if needed.
Protection for passive woofers - Forte & KG4
adam2434 replied to Mark51's topic in 2-Channel Home AudioI was thinking that you could just temporarily tape some thin plywood or something else rigid to the back of the cabinet, assuming some type of tape will stick well enough.
PowerGate amp
adam2434 replied to adam2434's topic in 2-Channel Home AudioTo my knowledge, the Powergate does not have any crossover built-in. Were you previously driving the AW6500's with a different amp? Might also want to verify that you have speaker wire polarity correct. I don't have any bass complaints with a Powergate driving NHT SB3 bookshelf speakers. Now, its wi-fi streaming reliability, that's another story...not good at all in my experience. I've resorted to using a Chromecast Audio connected via optical. You might consider picking up a Chromecast Audio (discontinued, but still available on eBay). The Chromecast Audio has bass and treble controls for a bit of sound tweaking. Regarding the heat, I have mine sitting on top of an AC Infinity fan with the air blowing up. Keeps it cool.
XT32 and MultEQ Editor app tweaks for bass response
adam2434 replied to adam2434's topic in Home TheaterYep, you are right. Tone controls are still available with Audyssey on the Marantz AV7704. I will research into and experiment with bass tone control increase vs. sub level increase.
XT32 and MultEQ Editor app tweaks for bass response
adam2434 replied to adam2434's topic in Home TheaterOK, thanks anyway for posting that. I'll do more research in this area and report back if I learn something significant.
XT32 and MultEQ Editor app tweaks for bass response
adam2434 replied to adam2434's topic in Home TheaterYep, what you posted is basically what I discovered on my own, except that I've been playing with +6-7 dB sub(s) boost, and I am doing it in the source-specific "Options-Channel Levels" menu, rather than globally in the test tone settings. I already discovered that the SLA setting on the AV7704 is not the best to use, because it does not adjust from the calibrated level as a starting point. Can you point me to that AVS thread? I'd like to determine if there is more background on the recommended 5 dB sub boost. Thanks.
XT32 and MultEQ Editor app tweaks for bass response
adam2434 replied to adam2434's topic in Home TheaterThose "After" curves are predicted, not measured from what I understand. I don't think Audyssey is that good in reality. 😊 Adjusting sub levels up is a way to increase the bass below the LPF point - guess it would create a bass shelf in the summed curve. Not sure if Tone Controls are available when Audyssey is enabled - will need to check that out. Thanks.
XT32 and MultEQ Editor app tweaks for bass response
adam2434 replied to adam2434's topic in Home TheaterThe nice thing about the MultEQ editor app is that one can limit the correction range to Schroeder (say somewhere between 200-300Hz), and leave the mids and highs uncorrected/filtered. If it works as intended, it would flatten the bass peaks and valleys a bit, and leave the rest alone. I think the issue with this is that a rising bass room curve is often preferred, and Audyssey targets flat bass. I believe this is why many folks then bump their sub levels several dB to get the rising bass response (kind of brute force and probably not the best way to get the intended room curve), but hopefully "better" bass response because major room-induced peaks and valleys are reduced. As a newbie to Audyssey and the MultEQ app, that's at least how I think of this at this point.
XT32 and MultEQ Editor app tweaks for bass response
adam2434 posted a topic in Home TheaterPosting similar stuff at AVS, but thought I'd bring this topic to the Klipsch forum for additional input. This topic is more of a 2-channel music priority for me, but since it involves XT32, thought I'd post it here. Recently picked up a Marantz AV7704 pre/pro (coming from an Outlaw 975) and am using XT32 and the MultEQ Editor app for the first time. So far, I have found that the MultEQ app calibration without further adjustment sounds very thin and bass shy with 2-channel music, unless I boost sub levels (dual subs) about 6-7 dB. I believe this is due to the flat bass response that is targeted. This seems to be a common observation/complaint. I believe that I might prefer a more typical house curve (Harman-like, perhaps) with a rising bass response. This would be in the context of combined L/R/subs curves. BTW, I set my L/R to small and 80 Hz crossover after the calibration. My L/R in this system are Polk LS90 floorstanders. Subs are dual Outlaw 12" models. So, I'm curious if other folks feel that the bass needs tweaking after calibration and would like to know what you've done to tweak. I don't have REW capabilities (yet) and realize that this is probably needed to really understand the baseline and impact of adjustments. The MultEQ app curve editor provides the ability to tweak the individual channel curves, but I know that I'm probably shooting in the dark without REW. I know that some folks have bumped L/R bass frequencies with the curve editor and bumped sub level(s) to achieve a smooth rising bass response (and they confirmed this with REW). Just looking for some experience and insight on this topic. Thanks. For reference, I attached screenshots of the L/R and subs "Before" curves from 2 separate app calibrations. Assuming these "Before" curves are accurate, looks like the room transition is at around 250-300 Hz.
Yeah, the Forte I are on risers in the unfinished portion of our basement. I'm standing most of the time in this area, which is mainly the home gym and workshop area. Also, they are raised to clear some utility and storage stuff in this area. I use them in a 2.1 configuration now, with dual subs. I also use this system to evaluate other speakers (bookshelf speakers sitting on top of the Forte 1) in 2.1. This system is a bit of a "test rig" I've used to play with dozens of speakers over the years. I previously had RF-7 II where the RF-7 III now reside (first floor open concept area). The RF-7 II were a bit bright. The RF-7 III are more balanced, IMO. I don't feel the RF-7 III have a depressed midrange at all. I really like the RF-7 III, which is why I'm considering moving them down to the 5.1 system in the finished portion of the basement, where I feel they would get more use. The RF-7 III are closer to 100 lb. each, but moving them is not a problem. I'm a pretty big guy with an able-bodied 17 year old son for back-up (😊). It's the fine-tuning of position that is a pain with the RF-7 III on carpet. I will remove the spikes for this the next time I move them. I'm pretty curious about how the Forte I will sound where the RF-7 III reside. I need to make some time to do this, as trying this will be the only way to know how I feel about the Forte I in this room vs. the RF-7 III. I realize this thread is probably a bit confusing because it involves swapping speakers in 3 separate systems, but ultimately it's about the comparison of the currently-residing RF-7 III vs. moving the Forte I into this location.
Not doubting your observation, just find it interesting that the Forte I and Forte III would have significantly different bass. I think I just need to bite the bullet and try the Forte I in System 3. If they sound good and have adequate bass in this large, open family room, I will really consider moving the RF-7 III to the finished basement room 5.1 system (and purchase the RC-64 III). So, the net would hopefully be an upgrade to the 5.1 system (System 1), without a downgrade to System 3.
Interesting, I have never heard Forte III, but I would not describe my Forte I as having "loose" bass. Again, I have no comparison to the Forte III though. However, I have never listened to my Forte I in a "normal" room/placement. They are in the large, unfinished section of our basement, and are on risers to get the tweeters near ear level while standing (which I know reduces bass output). I have used them in 2.0 and 2.1 (bass managed at 80 Hz) in this system (System 2 in my sig). If it was not such a pain to move and place the RF-7 III, I would just move them out of System 3 and try the Forte I there. However, sounds like the Forte I would would give up some bass performance to the RF-7 III in 2.0.
I wonder how the Forte I and Forte III compare, in terms of bass. Probably similar?

Four Best Music Festivals Coming to Atlanta, Georgia
Curls, Kinks, and Culture Music Festival
Taking place in October, this is the kind of festival we really like to recommend to visitors. That's because it features exclusively local musicians and artists, which means that concertgoers will get an experience that can't be had anywhere else in the country. In addition to enjoying the local music scene, festival participants can look forward to various vendors selling jewelry, soaps, oils, and other goods. There will also be activities such as yoga, henna, belly dancing, and more. There is truly something for everyone at this unique Atlanta event.
Womenincharg3 Music Festival
This concert's unusual name hints at its original concept: a music festival comprised entirely of female musicians. According to the event's rules, bands and artists must also play only original material and hail from the United States or Canada. While this means you might not see bands that regularly chart on the Top 40, it also means that you'll be exposed to a wide variety of new and upcoming talent. The next festival will take place on July 14, 2018.
Imagine Music Festival
This is the festival to keep an eye on if you're after big-name talent in the quirky genres of trance and house. The event was held in Atlanta during September 2017 and is expected to return during the same season in 2018. Previous performers have included famous acts such as Above & Beyond, Deadmau5, and Tiesto. We like to recommend this type of even, because it offers a more artistic and cultural experience than your standard stadium rock affair.
The African Art and Culture Festival
This exciting festival is planned for November 2017. It features African music, of course, but also boasts programs about cultural diversity, fashion, and art. The organization sponsoring the festival, Euriel Global Fashion, is proud to participate in social empowerment initiatives by staging cultural events like this festival. This event is a great opportunity to enjoy a myriad of activities and learn more about African culture.
The year 2017 may be almost over, but we think you'll agree that there are a lot of festivals to anticipate throughout the next year. Atlanta is no stranger to major rock and country acts, but we like to think that you can find those shows on your own. The short list here should give you something a little more special to enjoy. And while you're between concerts, don't forget to drop by Hendrick Sandy Springs Toyota to take care of all your automotive needs.

Learning the positions of Lacrosse can be confusing for some because lacrosse is a growing sport. The game has several positions with different roles and even some specialist positions. If you are new to the game, you can learn the positions in lacrosse very easily with Stringers Society. For beginners, there are fewer positions played than in the advanced game. This is normally to keep everything simpler and because players haven't specialized yet. Once players mature and realize their best assets they can fill a specific role, or choose a specialist position.
Lacrosse Positions
Beginners should stick to the basic positions for lacrosse in order to learn the game better before specializing. All lacrosse positions will be explained in this article from the most basic to the most specialized so all players can learn. But first, all players should know, all players play offense and defense in lacrosse! There are four simple positions in Lacrosse that the most basic teams will use.
Box Lacrosse Positions and Field Lacrosse Positions
The field lacrosse positions and indoor lacrosse positions are interchangeable at this point. Most young players can play all of them if they are unsure about what to choose. Young players should also try every position before deciding what to play in field lacrosse or indoor lacrosse. Both versions of the game have these positions despite having different rules in lacrosse that will be explained later.
Lacrosse Goaltender or Goalie
The Lacrosse Goalie, or keeper, is the last line of defense and the first line of offense. The Goalie spends most of the game within the crease protecting the goal, but they are free to move whenever they please. Since the offsides rule in lacrosse is based on having 3 players in your offensive zone while having 4 in your defensive zone the keeper can cross midfield during play. This is why I referred to them as the first line of offense.
After a goalie saves a shot they begin a clear from the defensive zone. Goalies are only allowed to stay in the crease for 4 seconds with the ball after a save. This forces them to leave the goal to clear, and some take full advantage of that opportunity.
Lacrosse Goalies Are Generals of Defense
When not clearing, Goalies command the defense. They are at the helm and must direct traffic for those who can't see everything they do. This means Goalies should always be communicating with their defense about what they are seeing. Without an effective communicator as your lacrosse goalie, the defense will get lost and mess up.
Lacrosse Goalie Positioning and Stance
Goalies will typically have 3-5 marks around the front of the goal where they stand to protect the goal. These spaces are for having the best angle to stop a shot depending on where the shot is coming from. Goalies follow the ball around their defensive zone, shifting in their stance as the ball moves.
Lacrosse goalies are in an athletic stance with their stick ready to attack shots rather than wait for them. Goalies often use their angles, stances, and fast hands to "Be Big" to stop as many shots as possible. They will use anything available to them to stop shots and try to use their body as stick as efficiently as they can. The stance of a goalie starts this all off because it is their constant. A goalie's stance is their home base that they begin in for every save.
Lacrosse Attackmen and Attackers
The Attack, Attackmen, or Attackers are the most notable scores on a team. They are often the players with the best stick skills who are the most offensively talented. Attackmen vary in size, speed, and style but their job is to score goals. There will be three attackers on the field at once during a men's lacrosse game, and these players can move to the other side if another player stays back for them.
Lacrosse Attackers Still Play Defense
As mentioned before, all players play offense and defense in lacrosse! This means that when the other team's goalie is clearing, the attack is riding and trying to get the ball back. The Attack must try to get the ball back from the defense, or not allow them to get into their offensive zone, after turnovers. Successful rides result in extra possessions and more goals, so ride like your life depends on it. If you lost the ball to the defense then it's your job to get it back.
Scoring on Attack in Lacrosse
When you get the ball as the attack, you are the first option for scoring. The attack normally creates the most scoring opportunities and facilitate the offense. To do this you need to have great stick skills and great vision. Both come from time and work.
Stick skills are crucial as an attackman and can be the difference between playing and watching. Catching, throwing, and shooting are all necessary; but, the list of skills you need to be elite doesn't stop there. To truly be a great attackman you must be able to dodge with the ball, protect your stick, and finish when given the opportunity to shoot. Attackman are almost always covered by long poles so being able to keep the ball and run through checks are both also useful.
All of these skills come from working with your stick more and being more fluid. Attackmen are very comfortable having the ball in their stick or coming to it. If you aren't able to handle the pressure of receiving or sending feeds then attack may not be for you. If you feel a burning sensation to score, then attack may be your calling. So start practicing evading checks, protecting your stick, and being able to handle the ball so you can become a leading scorer.
Lacrosse Midfielders
The midfielders in lacrosse are the workhorses of the team. While it's true ALL PLAYERS PLAY OFFENSE AND DEFENSE IN LACROSSE, these guys keep it pretty even. Midfielders work on both sides of the ball and are usually doing the most running. They have to move from offense to defense quickly and work with both the attack and defense. For this, midfielders must work on their offensive and defensive skills in order to get the most time on the field. Just like the Attack, you are allowed 3 middies at a time.
Lacrosse Middies Are Like Wild Stallions
On higher level teams the midfielders can become specialized and mainly work on offense or defense, but they need to know both. There are plenty of times each game when a midfielder will have to run to the other side of the field to defend or try and score on a fast break. If you get stuck on the other side and don't know what you are doing, expect a "talking to" once you sub off. If you can step out of your role and score as a defensive middie then expect the loudest cheer of the game.
As a midfielder, your athleticism and versatility are your best assets. So if you plan on being on the field you're going to need to work of your midfield skills. Endurance, footwork, and stick skills will all aid you in becoming a better overall player and that's perfect. Midfielders are normally the most general players. They are just lacrosse players that really do it all. Being a well-rounded player gives you the best chance to get minutes. The players that want to be on the field the most are probably going to be the midfielders who want to work hard. These players need to be determined so if you're an athletic player just looking to play choose midfield.
Lacrosse Defenders
The lacrosse position "defense" does normally refer to the three close defensemen guarding the attack. This doesn't really encompass lacrosse defense, but it serves as a good marker. To explain, defining a defender is difficult because of how many people play defense. For a base definition, your Defenders should be those that defend best when behind or very close to the goal. Similar to the Attack, you must have three defenders on your defensive side, but you may use four long poles at once.
Long Sticks for Lacrosse Defense
At the lowest levels of lacrosse where there are no long sticks or "d-poles" defenders are just whoever starts the faceoff on the same side as the goalie. This changes as the level of play and size increase so that d-poles can be used properly. You are allowed four long sticks on the field at one time and you will notice that most teams start each face with four. This gives that player a longer reach for scooping up groundballs and for defending. If that fourth long stick can't get the ball on the faceoff then they will stay on and help with defense. If they recover the ball then he will likely sub off so a short stick can play offense in his place.
The four potential d-poles make defining "defender" difficult because you rotate in defense. The faceoff d-pole is often the LSM or Long Stick Midfielder. They usually match up against the best offensive midfielder on the other team and sub off when their team has the ball. However, a d-pole on the wing of a faceoff could be a defender that you rotate down after the faceoff. You can even use two d-poles on the face with a short stick in the offensive zone and rotate one down. Your team also may want to rotate a short stick to guard an attackman based off of a matchup. All of these situations make it difficult to define the "defenders" because ALL PLAYERS PLAY OFFENSE AND DEFENSE IN LACROSSE.
The Low Man Wins in Lacrosse Defense
Make sure that the defenders that you set up down low are strong enough to hold their ground and quick on their feet. Defense is completely reactionary. You need to try to control offensive movements by reacting to their initial plans. If you can dictate where they are moving the ball or their players then you can properly control their offense. This only allows difficult shots and plenty that your goalie should be able to save. Always remember that defense is about working with others and covering their mistakes so they can cover yours. Recovering on defense is a system, and it wins championships based on functionality. If your defense can't work as a unit it won't succeed. So make sure that if you are going to play defense you can communicate and watch everything on the field at once.

Well here it is– the race recap for my first half marathon!
Sunday morning was an earrrrrrrly morning. I woke up at 3:15, and hopped out of bed about 5 minutes later. I showered the night before, put together all my things {basically nothing– an ID, room key, and money!}, and laid out my outfit. I literally had to jump out of bed, put my outfit on, and stick the ID/money/key in my handy little zip-up pocket in the back of my leggings.
I drank a tiny bit of coffee, and ate a rice cake and banana. I wanted some peanut butter, but I didn't bring any with me. My friend was actually supposed to bring the pb to complement the bananas and rice cakes but…. I guess I forgive her.
We then hopped on a bus and headed over to the race. Getting into the race was easy, but we did have to walk quite a while from the entrance to the bag check, and then even farther to the corrals. Luckily, we were there early enough to way 30 minutes on the bathroom line before heading over to our corrals.
This was the first half marathon that Krista and I have ever run, so we weren't able to submit a time from a previous race. Unfortunately, that meant we were placed in P – the last corral. By the time our corral took off, it was 6:40 {the first corral went at 5:30}, so we were standing around for quite a while.
That just gave us time for pictures! Two girls from my school were also at the race, and in our corral as well, so it was fun to hang out with them while we all waited.
Then- boom! We were off. Krista and I ran the first two miles together, but she decided to take a walking break at 2 miles. I didn't train with a run-walk mentality, so I kept trucking on. It was unfortunate that we didn't get to run the entire race together, but I think it was better for both of us in the end!
The first 8 miles were awesome. I did have to go to the bathroom though {after standing around for 70 minutes, these things happen} but I held off until mile 6, when we passed real bathrooms in Magic Kingdom. Around mile 9, I started to really struggle. My legs were not feeling it, and the idea of 4 more miles… that sounded pretty daunting. I chewed another energy gel {I also ate one at miles 3 & 6} and got as much water as possible. I was not about to start walking– I knew I wouldn't start again. Plus, I am a little competitive with myself, and I really wanted to finish under a 10 min/mile pace. At first I was just going to see what happened, and I was actually doing perfectly– about 9:56/mile. Then around mile 9-10 I got held up but a lot of crowding, and added time by trying to weave around people. My pace went up to an average of 10:01/mile! Well, I couldn't let myself get that close and not make it! When I got to mile 11, I picked it up a little bit, until we hit a huge hill which almost killed me. When I saw the mile 12 sign… it was too good to be true! I held in there. When the volunteers shouted out to us that we were in the last .5 mile… I was ecstatic. I picked it up and crossed the finish line with the HUGEST smile across my face. I got in with a 9:55 pace and was completely satisfied with that.
The race started off going down a road {one of the highways that run through Disney}. We then passed through the Magic Kingdom, back on the roads for a few more miles, and finally mile 12-13.1 took us through and behind Epcot.
The setup of this race was absolutely amazing. Water/powerade stations, bathrooms, and medical tents every few miles. There were volunteers all over the place, characters dressed up, and lots of people cheering on the sidelines. For my first half marathon, I would definitely say this was a great choice! The constant encouragement and sights really helped me through.
The only negative was the crowding. There were about 20,000 people running this race, and the roads were packed. I assumed it would thin out a little after the first few miles, but it never did. I spent a lot of effort moving around people or just trying not to trip over anyone. My MapMyRun actually said that I had run 13.84 miles!
Highlights from the rest of the day:
1. Lunch {/really breakfast…}: Salad and french fries.
2. Sporting our medals in Downtown Disney.
3. Ice cream was the perfect treat.
4. Dinner, delicious. ALso- not pictured are the block of fudge Krista and I shared, and the chocolate covered pineapple wedge. Delicious!

The Grimms' Tales
Star rating: *
Argosy Players
Compass Theatre
Saturday 11th October 2014
"When two children find an old story book in a loft, they don't know that it will take them to places they could never have imagined.
Adapted from the original Grimm's Tales using music, stunning visuals and playful story telling, this is theatre where the unexpected will be expected."
The 'Grimms' Tales' play was anything but playful. Produced by Argosy Players, I had high hopes of a riveting, edge of the seat, scary show. After all, how could you go wrong with such a well known collection of stories that include 'Hansel and Gretal'? Unfortunately the clue was in the title and the production was grimm by name and grim by nature.
Alas, one of the few sparks of the night was provided by a firework going off on stage. I'm sure that woke up a few people in the audience. There was little by way of a theme to the show, few thrills, no shocking horror or tension.
The absence of gripping tension and real drama was the biggest let down in a show that really to me just plodded on rather aimlessly. The production made very good use of staged BBC news footage covering the missing children in the woods. Viewing this just 11 days after the body of murdered school girl Alice Gross had been discovered in nearby Brent River Park, Hanwell, the play felt both topical and poignant.
I know this is amateur theatre and not the West End, but Compass Theatre regularly put on some wonderful amateur productions, such as Agatha Christie 'Murder, Mystery and Suspense' productions and 'The Creation of the World and other Business' by Arthur Miller. This sadly was not one of those gems.
In short, the Grimms' Tale turned out to be something of a grim experience. Hey ho. Sometimes in life you just have to grim and bear it!

A One-Day Symposium organised by the Romantic Dialogues and Legacies Research Group will focus on imaginative representations of light in English literature, c.1790-1950.

10 Simple Cooper 3, Dimmer Switch Wiring Diagram Photos - Hello i am looking to wire in a dimmer switch. The dimmer has a turn transfer and a ordinary switch. There are 2 loads and 2 traces with in this switch. The old dimmer only has 1 line and 1 load on it and there are simplest 2 wires in the wall crimson and blue. The new dimmer wont work properly when i join and use jumpers, what am i doing wrong? Dave's respond: the switch that to procure is without a doubt switches in a single, and it seems that this transfer has a dimmer for lighting fixtures and a velocity manipulate. This blend type transfer is typically used to govern a ceiling fan and mild. It'd be first-rate to purchase a unmarried dimmer switch in an effort to have the identical wiring as discovered with the original switch. Ensure the dimmer transfer could be like minded with the lamps which can be within the mild fixture.
I set up a dimmer transfer and now my lighting inside the toilet will now not come or the shops will no longer paintings until i am going into my closet and activate the mild switch: how to accurate dimmer switch wiring connections.
Care need to be taken in selecting your dimmer transfer. Maximum dimmers are rated for 600 watts of energy consumption, so when you have numerous mild furnishings in an effort to be managed by way of the three-way dimmer transfer you will need to depend the quantity of furnishings, the range of lamps in keeping with fixture and the watts in step with lamp. Calculate the total watts in an effort to be controlled by means of your three-manner dimmer switch. An amazing rule of thumb with any electrical load calculation is to in no way exceed 80 of the rated load for any electric component or tool.
Step 2 this stressed three-way dimmer switch has the pink and white "tourists" connected to the set of screw terminals at one end of the transfer. The screw at the opposite cease of the switch has either the electricity or switch leg wire attached to it.
Step 1 the typical three-manner transfer wiring has screw terminals at one end of the switch. That is where the "vacationers" are linked. The alternative cease of the switch has one screw terminal which can be a special color as visible here in this photograph. Relying in your wiring configuration, this single terminal can have connected both the electricity line or the switched leg that results in the fixture.

Greetings again from the darkness. It is initially a bit disorienting to settle in to watch a Western shot in South Africa by Danish filmmakers with a story based in 19th century America. However, any doubts are quickly forgotten thanks to terrific writing, powerful acting, and creative camera work set to a distinctive soundtrack.
Blood, dirt, politics, true loss and crackling gun play accompany what is, at its core, a story of vengeance … and of course, good vs evil. We open in 1871 America, seven years after Jon (Mads Mikkelsen) and his brother Peter (Mikael Persbrandt) left Denmark after fighting in the war. Today is the day that Jon's wife (singer Nanna Oland Fabricius) and son (Toke Lars Bjarke) arrive, and the separation has been tough on all. The reunion is destroyed in the most awful manner imaginable thanks to a couple of drunken ex-cons sharing the stagecoach. Of course, salvation and vengeance would not be required if there were no turning point, and Jon's natural reaction is what sparks the real fireworks in the story.
One of the bad guys on the wagon is the brother of powerful local gangster Delarue (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). We quickly learn he is not a rational man and cares little for anything other than making money and gaining revenge on his brother's killer. Delarue stands for all the bullies of any era, while Jon and his brother Pete represent the huddled masses incited to action only through gross injustice. There are many details and elements that set this above the traditional western, and one of those is the presence of Madelaine (Eva Green) who was married to Delarue's murdered brother, and was previously disfigured and muted by Native Americans.
It's impossible not to notice the similarities and influences of John Ford, Sergio Leone and the classic High Noon (cowardly townspeople, morals corrupted under duress). Director Kristian Levring even superimposes the very familiar vistas of Monument Valley into some shots, and it's done so well that our eyes simply accept the landscape. Mr. Levring also presents us a uniquely lit stagecoach in the moonlight scene that was beautiful to look at, despite the violent nature of what was happening. Composer Kasper Winding (brother to director Nicolas Winding Refn) adds a distinctive guitar that recalls the haunting effects of Ennio Morricone's soundtrack to Leone's classic Once Upon a Time in America … a very effective complement.
The lead actors are superb and well cast – though Jeffrey Dean Morgan goes 180 degrees against type as the evil-to-the-bone Delarue. Eva Green speaks volumes with her fiery eyes, and Mikael Persbrandt (who was so great in In A Better World) adds to the quiet-wild feel of the film. The bulk of the action falls to Mads Mikkelsen, who thanks to Casino Royale, The Hunt, and TV's "Hannibal" has become one of the finest actors working today. His facial tics and emotional depth convey much with few words, and his character's expert marksmanship with a Remington rifle is a welcome shift from the spraying automatic weaponry too common in film these days.
The politics of taking advantage of the unaware weak runs throughout the films, especially with the methodical "land grab" occurring so that the rich can capitalize on the "sticky oil" spoiling the water wells. You may not be a fan of Westerns, but there is much going on in this excellent script – and the visuals combined with expert acting should allow you to appreciate what expert filmmaking this is (especially given the low budget).

THE WICKER MAN (1973) movie review
Wicker Man, The (1973) d. Hardy, Robin
In this classic cult chiller, Christopher Lee turns in one of his finest performances (his personal favorite – good thing, since he reportedly did the role for free). Edward Woodward stars as a hard-as-nails Christian cop searching for a missing child on the remote island community of Summerisle, though his investigations turn up something far more sinister. Director Hardy skillfully crafts an atmosphere-drenched mystery, with Paul Giovanni's songs and music adding an unexpected high-spirited frolic to the dread proceedings. Extraordinary support provided by lovelies Britt Ekland, Ingrid Pitt and Diane Cilento. Loosely adapted by Anthony Shaffer from David Pinner's 1967 novel Ritual (who oddly enough receives no onscreen credit), this is must-see material for any horror fan.

I had something similar once, I tried to order a burger at A&W at 10am and they too would not serve me anything but breakfast. I said screw it, and picked up a sandwich at the 7-11, I was heading out on a road trip, and was already running late.

That exact thing has happened to me. Ronald said the same thing. I just smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll be right back". Drove around the restaurant,allowed a minute to pass,laughing. Went back through the drive-thru, ordered lunch, smirking at Ronald the whole time, paid, then drove away, shaking my head. They really fear that 10:29 lunch rush.

i love that these people cannot make an "executive" decision and take your order a minute early... that's why i never eat fast food... it scares me that when these people do make "executive" decisions, it's usually something like, "sure, that burger patty is still good, it was only on the floor for a second"...

It is just a guess but their computer systems probably don't allow any "lunch" orders to begin until 10:30am. If that is the case, then the employees can't very easily use their brains.

Stephen has a long history working with cameras. "I started on film where portraits and social documentary were the speciality, and I worked semi-professionally doing CD and album covers for record labels in London. Later I expanded into travel photography when I spent three years in Asia. At this point I started diving and tried underwater film photography." Stephen decided to submit his underwater photographs in competitions and found they were very well received. He began to combine his photos with articles and sell them to dive magazines. And, with new technologies, his interest just grew. It was the advent of digital photography and its use underwater that eventually led him into wildlife photography and, after several safaris practicing, he began to concentrate on bird photography.
What of the future for Stephen? "These days I relish any challenge and have recently tried invertebrates and botany. I am particularly interested in supporting charity or volunteer conservation work, where there is a brief, or specific subjects that need to be photographed or recorded." He adds "I'm particularly keen to work with individuals who can provide me with access to hard-to-find species and who can also guide me to take photographs without disturbing those species. Such as noble chafers or water voles!"

Mooli…. Radish…. Daikon…. that thing that looks like a carrot, but is white (that's how the husband describes it)….. call it by whatever name, but its benefits go a long way. It's a low calorie vegetable, while being packed with vitamins and fiber, making it a big part of a healthy meal. When we were growing up there were two juices that Mom insisted we had, one was karela and the other was mooli! Gosh! I despised gulping them down, but she told us it was the best thing we could do for our bodies…. and so we listened and gulp! gulp! it went! And now, I can't thank her enough for that and for instilling in me these values, coz now I realize how good it is for us. I've personally noticed a happier, healthier me when I find myself following her tips. So, here's one I'd like to share with you that is easy, delicious and healthy.
Mooli ki Daal
Ingredients to Serve 4:
Wash and clean the daal. Make sure there isn't anything in there but daal. Rinse the daal in water a few times.
In a pressure cooker, heat 1 tablespoon oil. When it's hot, add the methi seeds.
I love love love the smell of methi seeds cooking. I think it's by far my favorite kitchen aroma! MmmmHmmm! So, watch for them turning brown and that wonderful aroma.
When they are brown, add the mooli. Give it a toss and add the daal and turmeric powder. Give it another toss and follow that with water and salt. Close the lid and let this cook on medium-low for 20 minutes.
In the mean time, in a skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil.
When the oil is heated, add the cumin seeds and curry leaves. Let them sputter. Now add the tomatoes and jalapeno pepper.
Saute and let them cook and share their delicious natures. You want this done until the tomatoes are mushy and cooked to the point where you'd say they are ready to eat.
When the daal is cooked, add the tomatoes et all to them and stir.
I like it a little tangy and love it with just a little bit of lime juice.
Garnish with cilantro and enjoy with rice, roti or just as a soup.

The North Etiwanda Preserve is known for its unique Riversidean alluvial fan sage scrub plant community and increasingly that has attracted plant thieves who pick a protected sage species.
A San Bernardino County sheriff's deputy on patrol near the preserve spotted two men picking protected sage plants on Wednesday, Sept 13, according to a sheriff's news release.
Celso Reyes, 23, and Luis Gomez, 26, both of Ontario, were arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor cutting shrubs without a permit on public land, cited and released, according to jail records.
The sage in the area is protected by the California Endangered Species Act. Picking the sage around the preserve jeopardizes "the continued existence of this species and affect the habitat growth of our protected areas," the news release stated.
Anyone with information about the incident may contact the Rancho Cucamonga station at 909-477-2800. Callers who wish to remain anonymous may call the WeTip hotline at 800-782-7463 or report online at www.wetip.com

How to Save Money and Pay off Debt
Reducing debt and saving money go hand in hand because you can't save money if you use every paycheck to pay off debt and monthly bills. How do you get a grip on your debt so that more of your earnings can land in your savings account?
Prepare to pay off debt by listing what you owe on all of your loans, lines of credit, and credit cards. First organize the list by the amount you owe and decide which debt you can pay off most easily. Then organize the rest of your debt by interest rate. Pay the minimum on the larger debt while you pay off the small debt. Then focus on the highest interest debt, paying that off before focusing on the next highest interest debt.
Watch this short video for an illustration of how you can pay off your high-interest debt first.
Make sure you have the lowest rates
As you are paying off your debt, make sure you have the lowest rates possible on your loans and utilities. It never hurts to ask if you've got the lowest rates, and it usually helps a lot. Simply call your financial institution to talk about the rates on your mortgage, car loans, personal loans, credit cards, and any other debt you have. Then call your utility companies—including phone, cable, and internet—to request lower rates. If you can't get a good rate, you may want to look for a better deal elsewhere.
Adjust your spending habits
Old habits are hard to break, but you can break them! The trick to adjusting your spending habits is to understand what you're doing wrong. To get a grip on how your spending habits are hurting you, track how you spend. Look in your checkbook or online banking account and your credit card accounts and notice where you are spending money. Which purchases could you have lived without? Do you tend to get coffee every morning or lunch every afternoon? Maybe you could start making coffee and lunch at home. Could you find some no-name brands that you enjoy? Can you downgrade your movie package? Make a list of the spending choices you are willing to change and change them.
Need a vacation but don't have a lot to spend? Read these five tips for traveling cheap.
Save small amounts
Saving doesn't have to be big to be meaningful. If you save three dollars a day for the year, you will have saved $1,095. Three dollars isn't much—you may already pay more than that for coffee every day—but your savings by year-end could pay for a weekend vacation. As you can see, savings add up and it doesn't have to hurt.
You can also save around the house by paying attention to how you use utilities. Reduce your energy bill by only using lights when you need them and unplugging electronics and appliances that you're not using. Lower your heating bill by winterizing your home, lowering the heat a few degrees, and putting on an extra sweater. The more you think about it, the more you'll find you can shave costs in many areas of your life.
Don't buy it if you can't afford it now
Back in the "olden days," people saved money before they bought things. Just because you have credit doesn't mean you have to use it to buy expensive things. By waiting and saving your money, you save all of the interest you would pay if you took out a loan or put it on your credit card. Once you have money in the bank, you can make the purchase on your rewards credit card (to earn points on your credit card and strengthen your credit rating) and pay off the debt before it costs you anything in interest.
Your credit cards can help you save.
Read our eBook, Saving Money with Credit Cards to learn how.

text: Wake upp christians! This is not the old testament anymore! This is new testament, new age, new milenia day and time! We aren't bible beaters anymore, and we aren't wearing garments that hang to the floor and towels around our heads anymore (no offense disciples)! We do have chacos now,,,and that's about the only thing that connects us with the past! That and the love that Christ offers! The people that we are trying to reach aren't raised in an age knowing Christs' name! Not only do they not have Jesus their hearts…but they have no grasp of who that even is! A celebrity? A new singer? Or maybe a new addition to the jersey shore cast? Its crazy to think that there's all this love to spread and its staying idle within our hearts! Why are we not going crazyy and telling everyone like its the new hookup, or oh myy did you hear…I wanna be shining the light of Christ so bright that people need shades on! Haha. Now a days our goal is to be as much like them as much as we aren't! How will they ever know Him unless we're the ones setting the example right beside them. We have to be in midst of what they're struggling with and strong enough to stand up for our own beliefs all at the same time! Christ didn't send us here to go amongst the christians. He sent us here to go amongst the poor and the needy. The ones who DON'T know Him. The ones who have pains and struggles. I'm not saying christian friends aren't vital! Because they most certainly are,, we have those friends to encourage us, keep us stable, pray for us, and fellowship with! I don't know what I would do without my tight knit group of girls who challenge me in my faith. I lovee it! But I use my faith, my trust, and my strength the most when I surround myself with those know don't know Christ's love like I do, and deep down know that's the only thing that will fill that void, that empty hole in their life! That's why God sent me here…not to walk amongst the christians…but to walk amongst the sinners, cheaters, liars and beggers! That's when I call on HIM the most!

Before the Autumnal sunshine slips into a long restful Winter sleep, we thought we'd take a final stroll around the village of Pommard and soak up the history again. Along the way, we stopped off in Clos Marey-Monge and absorbed the glorious rays that bounce of Château Micault's Chassagne pink limestone.
Over the last 12 months, we have received lots of picture-perfect postcards of Pommard's vintage past. They are a daily reminder of our history, something to celebrate and treasure – something to be taken out for a walk – and not stuffed into a dusty drawer and forgotten about. That's not what history is about.
So, come with us with on a walk around Pommard and watch the past and present come together.
Château Marey-Monge, front
Located parallel to the D973, a stone's throw from the Route des Grands Crus, the iron entrance gates of Château Marey-Monge are an imposing sight and have been for two centuries. Circa 1960.
Château Marey-Monge, rear
Melting deliciously into Clos Marey-Monge, the large garden of Château Marey-Monge once contained a lake and wooden path ways. Today, a grove of large imposing redwoods and cedars ensure the stately house remains invisible from the outside world. In Summer, at least. Circa 1880.
Château Micault, front
A large English Garden and gravel pathways were once located in the front of Château Micault (known as Château Marey-Monge before the second châteaux was built in 1802), but that was torn out and replaced by vines in the 1960s by the Laplanche family. Large redwood trees once lined the path that connected the two châteaux together. Circa 1880.
Rue Marey-Monge
Known in the 18th and 19th centuries as Rue des Maronniers, today, Rue Marey-Monge is the road that runs parallel to our front entrance, and the Dheune stream, and connects the D974 and D973 – the two main arteries that run through the village. Circa 1860.
Grande Rue, D973
Pommard's main high street splits at a crossroad in the middle of the village. The crossroad is where you'll find the historic Café du Pont (which straddles the Dheune stream) ; Appellation du Chocolat ; Calabria pizza restaurant and wine bar La Compagnie Fanny. Circa 1770.
Grande Rue, D973
Pommard's main road has transformed a few times over the centuries, with tabacs and cafés coming and going. One thing has remained the same – the blue skies in Summer. Circa 1820.
Corner of Church Square
The house with the one eye, as we call it, is now the home of winemakers Serge and Vincent Lahaye in the corner of Church Square, or le Coin de la Place de l'Eglise.
Rue Notre Dame
A beautiful street that is home to much Pommard history. If walls could talk! Circa 1770.
Church Square
Pommard's central meeting place, just outside the Church, has seen a lot of history pass through it. The Church was burnt down by heretics in 1794. Much of the Micault family history, part of the Church's records, was lost to the flames. Circa 1770.
Artichoke Fountain Monument
Built in 1806, the village's central monument is the Artichoke Fountain, or la Fontaine de l'Artichaut, so named because the top of the landmark looks a lot like the vegetable in question. Circa 1770.
The monument was restored in 2016.
The Mayor's Office and School
Pommard's school and the Mayor's Office are attached to the Bailliage de Pommard. The location of the annual January festival of the Brotherhood of Pommard, established in 1981. Circa 1800.
The brotherhood seeks to celebrate the wines of Pommard as well as those winemakers and wine lovers who protect and preserve the traditions of Burgundian winemaking.
Route d'Ivry
Straddling the Dheune stream, which runs parallel to Château de Pommard ; and naturally cools our cellars, flows down from the "Montagnes de Pommard", created by intense geological behavior 150 million years ago. Circa 1850.

A clumsy cameraman riding a Segway managed to bring Usain Bolt crashing to the ground just moments after he won the 200m sprint at the World Athletic Championships in Beijing.
While in the midst of his celebrations after edging out his rival by nearly two tenths of a second, the Jamaican was ignominiously brought to the ground after the Segway of a nearby videographer caught on a railing and hurtled straight into what are potentially the world's most expensive pair of legs.
Here's what happened, live on television:
Despite the accident, Bolt remains confident ahead of the relays this weekend. "It's alright, I will get over it. Never a doubt [for the sprint relay race], never a doubt. I am just going to get it massaged, ice it up a bit and I should be fine," he said. "I have a few cuts. But it's nothing I have never done to myself in training. It wasn't as bad."
Even after being knocked down, Bolt remained in good spirits, joking that his arch-rival Justin Gatlin was behind the fall. "The rumor I'm trying to start right now is that Justin Gatlin paid him off," he said.
State broadcaster CCTV, who are believed to employ the cameraman, have yet to comment on the highly embarrassing incident.

Wood recycling firm R Plevin & Sons has been fined £216,000 for safety breaches after a worker was killed when he fell four metres from a walking floor trailer in South Yorkshire while manually un-sheeting the unit.
At Sheffield Crown Court on Monday (13 November), the company pleaded guilty to breach health and safety regulation and was also ordered to pay costs after the incident at its Hazlewood site, Sheffield in June 2014. Paul Littlewood died from his injuries following the incident.
The company this week said that the death was a "deep sadness" to the business and its thoughts were with Mr Littlewood's family.
The Health and Safety Executive reported that the fatality occurred in an incident involving the trailer. It stated: "The trailer access to the work platform located at the front was protected by a single manually fastened wire rope. The rope is normally fastened to a vertical post with a carabiner. At the time of the incident, which took place on 30 June 2014 the wire rope was hanging loose and the access point was unprotected."
The court heard that R Plevin & Sons Ltd had not carried out a suitable and sufficient assessment for sheeting and un-sheeting trailers. No automatic sheeting was used and the protection provided was inadequate to protect workers from the risk of falls, explained the HSE which prosecuted the company over the incident.
At the court, noted the HSE, "R Plevin & Sons Ltd of Cheshire Street Mossley Ashton Under Lyne Lancashire pleaded guilty to breaching Section 2 (1) of the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 and Regulation 3 (1) of the Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999. The company was fined £216,000 and ordered to pay costs of £31,266.54."
After the hearing, HSE inspector Tim Johnson commented: "The incident could have easily been prevented by providing either automatic sheeting or self-closing gates similar to those at the access point on Mobile Elevated Work Platforms, coupled with a double guard rail along the length of the work platform.
"It is a requirement to carry out suitable planning for significant risks such as working at height. The sheeting and un-sheeting of lorry trailers is clearly working at height and the company should have identified the risks and control measures necessary to prevent this fatal accident."
In a statement after the court hearing, the company said: "Paul Littlewood was a valued and well-respected member of our workforce. His death was a source of great shock and deep sadness to all involved at R Plevin & Sons Ltd and continues to be so. Our thoughts are with his family and we hope that the ruling will bring some amount of closure for them during what has been a very difficult time."
The company added: "The health and safety of our employees is of paramount importance. As such the company has worked tirelessly to make continual improvements to our operational practices, and to ensure the development of a positive health and safety culture throughout the business."
In 2014, Plevin's noted that its Hazlehead, Sheffield site was the largest wood recycling depot in the UK with a bespoke wood recycling plant undergoing the final stages of commissioning.
