The area now known as North Myrtle Beach has a rich history that began well before Europeans appeared. Originally the part-time home and retreat of the Waccamaw and Winyah Native American tribes, they called the coast, "Chicora", meaning "the land". The Spanish explored the area in the 1500s, and by the 1700s, what is now known as Cherry Grove was a successful indigo plantation, as well as the occasional home of the notorious pirate Blackbeard. Visitor's today can set sail on Blackbeard's Pirate Cruise, the elegant Barefoot Princess River Boat, or take for the high seas on the Big M Casino Boat.
Today, North Myrtle Beach is a thriving area and a favorite among tourists. In 1968, four existing communities, Cherry Grove, Windy Hill, Ocean Drive and Crescent Beach were combined to form the city. Throughout the year, festivals celebrate everything from St. Patrick's Day to the end of summer. The sound of beach music can be heard in the Ocean Drive section nearly every night as those who love the state dance, the shag, slip and slide the night away.
Premier golf courses await the enthusiast and for those who like to golf on a lighter side there are also plenty of miniature golf courses to enjoy. Enjoy a glass of wine at Duplin Winery, where you can tour their bottling room, and sample some of the best wines in the Carolinas.
An oceanfront amusement park on Main Street offers classic rides and amusements to please all ages, along with free summer concerts throughout the season in nearby McLean Park. Reptiles rule at a sanctuary that houses alligators, snakes, lizards and tropical birds. Beautiful beaches, fishing piers and boating, and the world's largest waterslide offer plenty of outdoor fun. Check out Inlet Point Plantation for horse rides on a private island, along the waterway, or on the beach.
Finding treasures and souvenirs are an exciting addition to any vacation. Well known for its wide variety of shopping, North Myrtle Beach has an array of outlet stores, malls, fun flea markets and unusual boutiques.
After a day spent enjoying all that North Myrtle Beach has to offer, gorgeous sunsets herald the end of daylight, and the beginning of nightlife filled with excitement. Live theater, variety shows, dance clubs and more are part of the fun in North Myrtle Beach. The diversity of North Myrtle Beach guarantees something for everyone to enjoy!

Bad Bunny Belts Alt-Rock Break-Up Ballad 'Te Deseo Lo Mejor' on 'Corden'
Musician also offers health update after recently testing positive for Covid-19
Bad Bunny performs on THE LATE LATE SHOW WITH JAMES CORDEN, scheduled to air Wednesday December 2, 2020 (12:37-1:37 AM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Best possible screen grab. ©CBS 2020 CBS Broadcasting, Inc. All Rights Reserved CBS
Bad Bunny performed his new song, "Te Deseo Lo Mejor," on The Late Late Show With James Corden, Wednesday, December 2nd.
Bad Bunny recorded the performance in a small space with a patchwork curtain and glowing hanging lights. The intimate atmosphere perfectly fit the aching, alt-rock balladry of "Te Deseo Lo Mejor," as Bad Bunny belted the break-up tune, "Te deseo lo mejor/Ojalá que te olvides de mí/Yo sé que fui lo peor/Y tú mereces ser feliz" ("I wish you the best/I hope you forget about me/I know that I was the worst/And you deserve to be happy").
"Te Deseo Lo Mejor" appears on Bad Bunny's new album, El Último Tour del Mundo, which he surprise-released last month. It marks his third record of 2020, following YHLQMDLG and Las Que No Iban a Salir.
Along with performing on The Late Late Show, Bad Bunny did a quick interview with Corden where he offered fans an update on his health after testing positive for Covid-19. "I feel great, thank God," he said. "I already tested negative, so I'm so happy. But I feel great, I feel perfect."

Q: fetch gives an empty response body I have a react/redux application and I'm trying to do a simple GET request to a sever:
fetch('http://example.com/api/node', {
  mode: "no-cors",
  method: "GET",
  headers: {
    "Accept": "application/json"
  }
}).then((response) => {
  console.log(response.body); // null
  return dispatch({
    type: "GET_CALL",
    response: response
  });
})
.catch(error => { console.log('request failed', error); });

The problem is that the response body is empty in the .then() function and  I'm not sure why. I checked examples online and it looks like my code should work so I'm obviously missing something here.
The thing is, if I check the network tab in Chrome's dev tools, the request is made and I receive the data I'm looking for.
Can anybody shine a light on this one?
EDIT:
I tried converting the reponse.
using .text():
fetch('http://example.com/api/node', {
  mode: "no-cors",
  method: "GET",
  headers: {
    "Accept": "application/json"
  }
})
.then(response => response.text())
.then((response) => {
  console.log(response); // returns empty string
  return dispatch({
    type: "GET_CALL",
    response: response
  });
})
.catch(error => { console.log('request failed', error); });

and with .json():
fetch('http://example.com/api/node', {
  mode: "no-cors",
  method: "GET",
  headers: {
    "Accept": "application/json"
  }
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then((response) => {
  console.log(response.body);
  return dispatch({
    type: "GET_CALL",
    response: response.body
  });
})
.catch(error => { console.log('request failed', error); }); // Syntax error: unexpected end of input

Looking in the chrome dev tools:

A: You must read the response's body:
fetch(url)
  .then(res => res.text()) // Read the body as a string

fetch(url)
  .then(res => res.json()) // Read the body as JSON payload

Once you've read the body you will be able to manipulate it:
fetch('http://example.com/api/node', {
  mode: "no-cors",
  method: "GET",
  headers: {
    "Accept": "application/json"
  }
})
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(response => {
    return dispatch({
      type: "GET_CALL",
      response: response
    });
  })

A: fetch("http://localhost:8988/api", {
        //mode: "no-cors",
        method: "GET",
        headers: {
            "Accept": "application/json"
        }
    })
    .then(response => {
        return response.json();
    })
    .then(data => {
        return data;
    })
    .catch(error => {
        return error;
    });

This works for me.

A: You will need to convert your response to json before you can access response.body

From the docs

fetch(url)
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(json => {
    console.log('parsed json', json) // access json.body here
  })

A: fetch("http://localhost:8988/api", {
    method: "GET",
    headers: {
       "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
})
.then((response) =>response.json());
.then((data) => {
    console.log(data);
})
.catch(error => {
    return error;
});

A: I just ran into this. As mentioned in this answer, using mode: "no-cors" will give you an opaque response, which doesn't seem to return data in the body.

opaque: Response for "no-cors" request to cross-origin resource.
  Severely restricted.

In my case I was using Express. After I installed cors for Express and configured it and removed mode: "no-cors", I was returned a promise. The response data will be in the promise, e.g.
fetch('http://example.com/api/node', {
  // mode: 'no-cors',
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {
    Accept: 'application/json',
  },
},
).then(response => {
  if (response.ok) {
    response.json().then(json => {
      console.log(json);
    });
  }
});

A: This requires changes to the frontend JS and the headers sent from the backend.
Frontend
Remove "mode":"no-cors" in the fetch options.
fetch(
  "http://example.com/api/docs",
  {
    // mode: "no-cors",
    method: "GET"
  }
)
  .then(response => response.text())
  .then(data => console.log(data))

Backend
When your server responds to the request, include the CORS headers specifying the origin from where the request is coming. If you don't care about the origin, specify the * wildcard.
The raw response should include a header like this.
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *

A: Try to use response.json():
fetch('http://example.com/api/node', {
  mode: "no-cors",
  method: "GET",
  headers: {
    "Accept": "application/json"
  }
}).then((response) => {
  console.log(response.json()); // null
  return dispatch({
    type: "GET_CALL",
    response: response.json()
  });
})
.catch(error => { console.log('request failed', error); });

A: In many case you will need to add the bodyParser module in your express node app.
Then in your app.use part below app.use(express.static('www'));
add these 2 lines
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.use(bodyParser.json());

A: in my case, it was not cors. For some reason, the client got an empty response body if fetch was invoked from the child component, as soon as I moved the data fetching to the root App component the client got the proper response body. I don't know why, just went with it. If someone could explain it, that would be great.

A: My problem was that I was setting the response status code to 204 in my PHP backend. Guess it makes sense since 204 means 'No Content'.

I have been waiting for months for this trip! Back in February my dad called me and asked if I wanted to take a trip to Portugal with him to visit his sisters. I didn't think twice, I was totally down with the idea and agreed right away. At first I was under the impression that it was only me and him but I was stoked when I found out that he was also getting tickets for both my brother and sister as well. It was so easy to say yes and agree to a trip that seemed like a life time away. I didn't have to think too much since we had so much time till the trip actually was going to happen. He booked the trip in February and we weren't actually leaving until July so we had a lot of time to prep.
Fast forward to June and it was all so real and close which of course meant it was planning time! I started looking up places to visit, sights to see, stores to shop at and restaurants to eat at. Turns out, I didn't even need to do any of that because by the time I got here (yes, Ive started writing this blog while I am actually in Portugal)I didn't even need to plan things out. Everything was beautiful and picture worthy. Just walking to the grocery store or the cafe could be turned into a mini photoshoot!
As I am starting this blog I have already been in Portugal for a week and there hasn't been a dull day. Everyday there is something to do and it always brings us right up to about bed time. The first two days we did some Palace tours of some of the famous Palaces in the Lisbon area. Of course the Palaces are huge so it took some time to go through the whole thing and take it all in. Each of those days we also stopped at two different malls (indoor and outdoor) for dinner and some walking around. I personally loved the time at the mall on the first two days because it allowed me to do some "style research". I enjoyed looking through their boutiques and finding out what their current trends were! FYI: platform shoes are HUGE in Portugal along with wedges, and cork! Cork shoes, cork bags and cork wallets. I was happy I brought along my chunky black wedges!
It was colder then expected the first few days so we foundourself picking up some colder weather clothing; longer pants, long sleeve shirts, and cardigans while at the mall. Of course we planned on hotter weather since we were leaving Boston where it was currently 90 degrees. We were shocked when the average temp in Lisbon was about 67-70degrees. It worked out perfect though because when you leave Sintra, where we are staying, its actually about 5-8 degrees warmer. it ended up working out Perfectly!Funny story, Last time I was in Portugal (17 years ago), I took a picture with an oversized life size stuffed bear. I remember seeing the pictures but when we were at the mall after the day at the Queluz palace I saw the bear and the memories came flooding back! I actually remembered taking the picture 17 years ago and HAD to recreate the pic!
After the first few days (Wednesday, Thursday and Friday) of touristy things like museums, palaces and hikes we started to stay more around the area where my dad grew up. He showed us his school, the house he grew up in, the parks he played at, and the places all the kids would spend their time. It was crazy how fast time started to go by. Saturday we drove toward the beach area and walked around. It was too cold to go swimming so we just walked around the area and got diner by the water. This is where I had the worlds best chocolate cake, later to find out its just their microwavable chocolate cake. How in the world can their microwave cake be better than any other chocolate cake I've had? Eating by the water was one of my favorite parts of this vacation and lucky for me, we did it many times! I was actually surprised how many days we spend by the beach considering both me and my dad aren't huge fans of sand lol!
Sunday we of course went to church! We had to visit my Uncles church on the other side of the bridge and it made for an awesome day spent with my aunt and uncle. After church, we went to their apartment, which was GORGEOUS. We sat there for about an hour or two waiting for my uncle then went out to eat. The place we ate at was on a street that was basically all restaurants.
It was hard to chose but eventually we went to an amazing pizza place called "Mafia Pizza". When we got back to the house that we are staying at, we started to plan out the following week and THIS is when time started to feel like it was going by so fast. We wanted to take a road trip to Madrid and make a few stops along the way and planning this out so that we could make it back to Portugal and still have a few days left to visit more friends and family was tough.
Monday we ending up spending the entire day on the beach, which was awesome but also extremely tiring. This beach day was totally different than our first beach day where we just walked around and ate. This beach day consisted of the whole 9-yards. We got there around 11am, rented our beach chairs and umbrellas, laid out, tanned, chatted, took pictures, ate and tanned some more. I wore my one-piece bathing suit which I regretted. Usually I don't tan too easily but even sitting under the umbrella I managed to get sun burned. Not pretty! However, I did get some real pretty pictures lol!
From Tuesday through Friday we were road tripping! To and from Madrid. Road trips can be very fun but this one, I think I slept about 75% of the time. Its one thing to be driving through city's and having things to look but this trip all the way through was just grass. literally grass for miles and miles and miles. I guess thats why I would fall asleep every hour. Other than that, the driving wasn't that bad. When ever we got tired of it, we stopped to get a coffee, walk around and visit the random towns we've never heard of. We were able to take our time, drive slow and take everything in because we didnt have anything planned out. We didn't have hotels pin pointed and booked along the way. We stopped when we were tired and found one with vacancy for the night. Because of this, we were able to stay in Porto Portugal, Madrid Spain and Plasencia Spain. It was such a beautiful experience.
I would have to say Porto was my favorite stop. Considering my taste and style, I thought it had the most beautiful aesthetic. It reminded me a lot of what I would say Italy, or Barcelona would look like. Antique architecture, photogenic ally ways and endless outdoor shopping strips. I fell in love with Porto but unfortunately I didn't get any great pictures there which I regret. I guess I was just taking it all in and enjoying the moment. (I also had sweats on so I didn't want to be taking any pics lol). It wasn't in my plans to enjoy Porto more than Madrid so I didn't have a outfit planned out like I should have. I could have bet myself a million dollars it would be the opposite, but it wasn't.
Madrid was ok. It was a beautiful city but it reminded me a lot of Boston. It had its charm but everything was under construction, it was congested, and kinda smelt like sewer.It was our final destination so we actually spent two days there (one night).The first day mostly consisted of walking around, taking in the city, finding a hotel and eating dinner. This night happened to be my absolute favorite for dinner. We ate my favorite: Mexican food and it was the first time I actually ate ALL of my food.
The second day in Madrid we visited the Real Madrid stadium and took a tour of the entire thing. I wasn't dressed for the occasion but it was fun and very interesting to see. Im not a huge sports fan but I love the hype around soccer. Its such a team driven sport and I love the atmosphere of the fans. After this, we did what we did best; found the "Outdoor Shopping Center" and walked around for the rest of the afternoon. We went to Gucci, LV and other designer stores to compare prices to here in the US. My dad bought some sunglasses but they didn't have the specifics of bags and wallets that I wanted so I decided to just save my money till next time.
Toward the end of day two in Madrid we headed back to the car and got back on the road back towards Portugal. Our next stop was my aunts house in Fundao Portugal (which is basically the country side of Portugal).My aunts house was absolutely gorgeous. Its what anyone would imagine a Portuguese house in the middle of the country to look like. They had fruit trees of all different kinds, a pool, a pond with fish and turtles, and a cute outdoor table to sit and have your morning cup of coffee. Apparently this was the house my family stayed in the last time we were in Portugal but I didn't really remember it at all. Nothing rang a bell. However, it was fun to pick fresh berries and chat outside for a while!
We got back from our road trip on Friday night. That night, we got back and had dinner with our aunt that lives closer to the apartment that we were staying at. The next few days, believe it or not were our last days in Europe. We were leaving Tuesday morning so we only had three days left for doing day trips and different activities. At this point in the vacation, I had split feelings. I was enjoying my time of course, and there was so much more that I wanted to do and see but at the same time, I was ready to go home and get back to a routine of things.
The last few days that we were there flew by. The first day back, we went back to the beach and spent the entire day there. It was beautiful weather and was extremely relaxing to just lay on the beach for hours! Bryanna went jet skiing, Zach went swimming and I tried very hard to even out my terrible tan! That was Saturday. On Sunday we visited my Dads aunts and spent the day hopping from house to house visiting family members/meeting family members lol. Everyone was really sweet. It was funny because at each house we were offered food. I don't think I've even eaten so much in my life!
That night we decided that we were going to make the best out of our last full day there and planned to go back towards the beach on Monday and walk around for the day. We had driven past this beautiful area on our way to the beach on Saturday and we all agreed that we should return to do some last minute sightseeing and walking around, so thats what we did. I think it was a successful last day! My dad was able to catch up with his childhood friend that he hadn't seen in about 30 years and that was awesome to witness. It was an awesome experience seeing and hearing all about my dads childhood. It was really cool to live through, and walk down the streets that he spent his childhood life hanging out on!
Over all, I had an awesome time and im so glad I agreed to going on this trip. It was a wonderful experience in such a beautiful country and I will definitely be going back to visit very soon! Next time I go to Europe I will 100% be visiting Barcelona though! I may not have enjoyed Madrid as much as I expected but I know for sure I will fall in love with Barcelona!
Every time I travel I get this weird anxiety about it. I stress about the whole week before and over think every little detail. Then I get on the flight, I land and spend my time there. As soon as its time to get back on the plane to come home, Im already planning to do it all over again! It a weird kind of addiction I must have with traveling and planning trips. Does anyone else get this way?
Hopefully it won't be long till this "little Fashion Blogger" is posting another "little Travel Blog"!!
sorry for the issues you are having! Try deleting your cookies and coming back to the page! (: hope that works and thanks for visiting.


Nicole Richie was seen out with her husband Joel Madden and his brother Benji Madden, in NSW, Australia. The group were in the country for Good Charlotte's tour and to enjoy some time in the sunshine. I actually didn't know that Good Charlotte were still going! I used to be a huge fan.
Nicole was pictured walking along the waterside while wearing a pair of Levi's Cut Off Denim Shorts over the top of a one piece swimsuit, finished with some black slides and Ray-Ban sunglasses. I'm a huge fan of easy looks like this in the summertime as they're incredibly versatile for many occasions.
As the weather is heating up, I did expect to be seeing more celebs out in denim shorts or skirts, but the sightings haven't been that popular as of yet. Nicole is never one to let us down though, her denim short collection is in no short supply, that's for sure. I think this particular Levi's pair is really flattering on her too. What do you think?

Reading & Writing Community Wattpad Scores $17.3M In Series B Funding
By	Dave Forde	/	June 7, 2012
Combine two of the most basic things that people do on a daily basis, reading and writing, and then allow individuals to share their content and voila – Wattpad. There are a few more bells and whistles in there, but the company born out of Toronto recently raised $17.3 million in its Series B round of financing. Wattpad offers members a mobile, social, eReading platform where readers and writers connect directly.
This funding round was led by Khosla Ventures of San Francisco and includes internet entrepreneur Jerry Yang, with existing partners Union Square Ventures of New York and Golden Venture Partners in Toronto also participating. It has been recognized as highly significant due to having two top-tier US funds investing at this level in a Canadian-based consumer internet company.
"Wattpad has seen incredible growth and found a way to make long-form written content bite-sized and digestible for the mobile age," said CEO Allen Lau. "Gutenberg invented the printing press over 400 years ago, and I believe we are creating a product that will define how people share and connect through stories for the digital age."
Wattpad will use this new funding to expand its team, enhance the product through new features focused on collaborative and interactive storytelling, and grow its community which now sits at eight million. Over 70% of Wattpad's usage comes from its mobile apps.

Introducing the Spectrum Spotlight for the 2017-2018 school year, a monthly series in which West Bloomfield High School Students have the opportunity to be highlighted for their unique talents and interests. This week's Spotlight is on a senior with a special lyrical talent. Ryan Horwitz may seem like a regular student, but in his free time, he transforms into Ryguy the rapper. With more than 7,000 Soundcloud plays and over 600 followers on Twitter, he's starting to gain a fanbase online. Spectrum reached out to Ryguy so he could answer some questions about his burgeoning rap career.
Nav is my favorite artist. I love the way his music sounds and the feelings his songs produce. Most of his songs have similar melodies, but every artist establishes their own sound. The use of his undertone melodies is amazing and it goes so well together. Knowing that he started out similarly to how I did is crazy to think about.
I have a few big supporters including my friends Corbin, Trevor, Eric, Jordan, the Civeleks, and of course Jo. Jo has always showed love to my songs and I can't thank her enough for it. I understand that not everyone likes my music and some think nothing of me as an artist and show no respect, but that won't stop me. I find making music extremely fun and stress relieving, and sometimes I really like how my sound turns out.
I've always loved music but recently I've just been enjoying it like never before. I can't even describe the feelings that flood my brain when I listen to music. Music is so much more than what most people hear, but I truly believe I hear it how it's intended to be heard.
What has been your biggest struggle in making music?
Making sure people actually listen to what I'm talking about. I put thought and feelings into my lyrics but I feel like it just goes over people's heads.
What has been your biggest achievement in making music?
My biggest achievement was reaching my first thousand plays. I honestly couldn't believe it happened, but I was so happy.
I started making music just about three and a half months ago.
Do you collaborate with anyone? If so, how often and with who?
I've got some collaboration projects in the making, as well as future plans to work with other artists. I'm pretty excited about that.
As Ryguy continues in his musical journey, Spectrum will be following his trajectory. If you want to listen to his music, click on the link: https://soundcloud.com/ryguy640000.

Your gums may have receded for a variety of reasons, including aggressive tooth brushing or periodontal disease. You may not be in control of what caused the recession, but prior to treatment Dr. Granovsky and Dr. Urban can help you identify the factors contributing to the problem. Once these contributing factors are controlled, a soft tissue graft procedure will repair the defect and help to prevent additional recession and bone loss.
Soft tissue grafts can be used to cover roots or augment gum tissue that is insufficient. During this procedure, Dr. Granovsky or Dr. Urban will take gum tissue from your palate or another donor source to cover the exposed root. A type of tissue called an allograft can be used to avoid the need to take tissue from the palate thereby reducing a second surgical site and post-operative discomfort. This can be done for one tooth or several teeth to even your gum line and reduce sensitivity. Covering exposed roots can also prevent cavities from forming on these surfaces.
Gum grafting may also be necessary before crowns and bridges are planned. If teeth lack a band of bound tissue at the gum line, recession and secondary decay can occur after crowns and bridges are placed. Secondary decay is common in patients who suffer dry mouth. Gum grafts can restore the band of bound tissue and reduce the likelihood of new decay and recession.

A Severely Overweight 41-Pound Cat Named Skinny Finally Lives Up to His Name
Take a look at the healthy ball of fur now!
By Marlisse Cepeda
While he may be svelte now, Skinny the cat's name wasn't always fitting. The furry feline used to be a whopping 41 pounds, way bigger than even this extra-large cat.
Skinny was rescued and taken into a shelter in 2012. The next year, veterinarian Brittney Barton adopted the animal. It didn't take long for the fur ball to become the "resident cat" of her practice, HEAL Veterinary Hospital in Dallas, TX. On weekends, you can find him exploring the clinic. He's with Dr. Barton's family throughout the week.
While Skinny is adorable at any size, at 41 pounds, he needed to get healthier. According to the Dallas Morning News, his condition was so poor, he couldn't walk more than five feet at a time. Thanks to good ol' diet and exercise, Skinny lost over half his body weight and is now down to 19 pounds.
"I'm happy where he is at this point in time. The rest is just excess skin," said the cat owner. He could get surgery to remove the extra skin, but that could result in him losing more weight, which may make him too thin for his bone structure.
We're happy you're healthier now, Skinny. Keep up the good work!

2012 NLL Champions: The Rochester Knighthawks
Posted on May 20, 2012 by Graeme
Congratulations to the Rochester Knighthawks, your 2012 NLL Champions. In the lowest scoring Championship game since… last year [OK, that may not have had the impact I was going for], the Knighthawks came back from a one-goal first half and a 5-1 halftime deficit to outscore the Edmonton Rush 8-1 in the second half and win 9-6. Matt Vinc was outstanding in the first half, keeping the Knighthawks in the game when it could have turned into another blowout like last week's Western final in Minnesota. He was even better in the second half and in my opinion, deserved to be named game MVP.
Instead, that honour went to Cody Jamieson, and I can't honestly say that Jamieson wasn't also deserving. He had four goals and four assists, including the first and last goals of the game as well as the game-tying goal. He also had assists on the go-ahead goal and the game winning goal. Zack Greer led the way for the Rush with 2+2 but despite outshooting the Knighthawks 52-35, the Rush just couldn't solve Vinc. Aaron Bold also had a strong night in the Edmonton net, holding the Knighthawks scoreless in the first quarter and only allowing a single goal in the first half.
There was talk on Twitter about how bad the commentary was on the CBS broadcast – Casey Powell remarking about the ten-second rule being over too quickly – but I was watching the game with friends and we were yapping far too much to hear anything from the broadcast. I thought it was really weird that Powell was a hold-out from the Knighthawks (though he wondered if he'd be getting a ring since he's on the roster) and yet is doing the commentary on the Championship game involving the Knighthawks. Was Paul Rabil not available?
I loved the picture posted by Paul Stewart of Shawn Williams remaining on the floor to watch the Cup presentation ceremony, the only member of the Rush still there. As someone who played in Rochester for ten years, Willy knew how much this victory meant to the organization as well as the Knighthawks fans. Losing that game after looking so dominant in the first half must have been extra painful, so it was a classy move to remain to watch the ceremony.
So thus ends the 2012 NLL season. The Knighthawks took an improbable road to the Championship by losing three of their first four, and at the half-way point of the season they were 3-5 and third in the East. But they came through in the second half of the season – or did they? Not really. They lost four of their last six and ended up with a losing 7-9 record, but finishing second in the east thanks to similarly lousy seasons by Buffalo and Philadelphia. Give the Knighthawks credit where it's due though – they came alive in the playoffs, taking out the Wings despite being outscored 7-2 in the fourth, then dominating the Rock in Toronto, and then coming back from a single-goal first half against the Rush.
The Rush had a similarly rough regular season, starting 2-7 and looking like they might be the lone team left out of the playoffs. But they finished the season 4-3, including wins over the Swarm and the Mammoth. And then came the playoffs. The offense that had been lacking all season long exploded for 19 goals against Calgary – the best defense in the league – and then 15 against Minnesota. They went into the Championship game as the hottest team in the league, and for half the game, that continued. But they seemed to run out of gas after that, and the Knighthawks took advantage. The Rush should be very proud of their playoff run, and considering their first-overall draft pick, they could be pretty good for years to come.
It was an exciting season, to be sure – the parity we expected at the beginning of the year was definitely a huge factor. The whole cliché about any team being able to beat any other team on any given night was true, and yet we didn't have all nine teams at or near .500, especially in the west. Congrats again to the NLL Champion Knighthawks.

Transparent screens just aren't very practical these days — bigger models are frequently expensive and bulky, while smaller heads-up displays tend to have very narrow viewing angles. However, MIT may have solved all those problems at once with its prototype nanoparticle display. The device creates color images on a glass surface simply by 'tuning' a silver nanoparticle coating until it lets only certain light wavelengths pass through. The technique is both cheap and compact, since it requires little more than the coating and some off-the-shelf projector technology. There's also no need for beam splitters or mirrors, so you can see the picture from just about any angle. While there's a lot of work left before there's a finished product, researchers note that their display would be as easy to implement as window tinting; don't be surprised if MIT's screen shows up on a car windshield or storefront near you.

Weekly Therapy: Tomme Arthur Q&A
Posted in Breweries, Weekly Therapy at March 6, 2006
You might have heard that Port Brewing, which operates three brewery pubs in Southern California, acquired the former Stone Brewing facility in San Marcos. Now it's time to find out what that means.
Tomme Arthur, who oversees brewing operations for Port Brewing, provided some answers just before heading off to Belgium with four other American craft brewers.
Arthur created some of the most sought after American craft beers of the young 21st century – an extraordinary range that includes Cuvee de Tomme, the ultra-hoppy Hop 15, saisons with a distinctive American twist and many others – but most have been served only at the Solano Beach facility where they were made or a few special beer events around the country.
Now they'll be available to a much wider audience – although you won't see them in your local grocery store soon – and a conversation with Arthur makes it obvious that he'll have a lot more exciting news in the coming months.
Tell us about the company that bought the former Stone brewery.
TA: A new entity known as Port Brewing LLC. The goal of our new operation is to translate many of the fabulous beers that we as "Pizza Port" have been releasing and take them to a wider audience. We will also be building a new brand known as Lost Abbey as part of our operation.
What's the system size and yearly capacity?
TA: The system is the former Stone Brewing 30-barrel brewhouse. It came with two 30-barrel fermenters, one 90-barrel fermenter and one 120-barrel fermenter. Total annual output through these tanks alone makes over 5000 barrels possible. This number is subject to change based on fermentation profiles of beers we are contemplating. We also have made a major investment in oak, which we believe will allow us to produce no less than 6 beers per year from these barrels.
How much oak?
TA: We now own 94 oak barrels, both bourbon and French Oak wine barrels.
We have already filled 6 bourbon barrels, and the first beer will spend 6 months breathing in the bourbon before being released later this year.
These wine barrels will be filled with all kinds of critters and fun bugs in the coming months. Some of the Cuvee de Tomme will find a home in these barrels (to offset some of the major bourbon flavor of the new oak blended at bottling time). We will also be releasing a new version of the Le Woody (the blonde version) as well as the Le Woody Brune, which will have a name change and slight recipe variation – different cherries.
We are making a major commitment to barrel aging and look to have six beers available in from wood after about 18 months of being up and running. Two (beers) will be strictly from bourbon barrels, one will be a blend (Cuvee) and three will be from the (bug-ladden) French Oak. All will be bottled. One will be brewed under Port Brewing brand and the other five will all be Lost Abbey beers.
What will be available beyond draft beer?
TA: As part of our expansion we have signed up with Stone Distributing, who will be handling our Southern California Distribution. The first cases of Sharkbite Red have already started hitting stores. This will be the only 6-pack from Port Brewing for now. We anticipate releasing a second beer in 12 ounce-bottles, but will let the market dictate what that release will be.
Our focus for bottling will be on larger format bottles. Most of the Pizza Port beers will be bottled and labeled under Port Brewing and sold in 22-ounce bottles. We hopes to have the first ready by early April. Beers like Shark Attack, Hop 15, Santa's Little Helper and even new beers from Jeff Bagby (brewer for the Carlsbad pub) like Hop Suey may get a shot at hitting some glass in the not-so-distant future.
For the Lost Abbey, we will use a hood and wire unit. Like Russian River, Allagash and Unibroue we will be bottling in 750ml brown bottles imported into the states. All of the bottled Lost Abbey beers will be bottle conditioned with live yeast. The barrel-aged beers will most likely follow the Russian River beers into the market in 375ml glass. It is quite possible that limited runs of larger bottles may happen as well although, but we have not purchased a corker to do bottles larger than 1.5 liters.
What beers/brands that will be distributed?
TA: Port Brewing Co will be making Sharkbite Red Ale, Wipeout IPA and Amigo Lager for draft distribution. Only the red will be bottled. Seasonal beers will follow when possible.
On the Lost Abbey side, we envision four beers available in 750ml cork finished bottles. The first is Avant Garde.
I love the name of this one for many reasons. The dictionary definition:
A group active in the invention and application of new techniques in a given field, especially in the arts.
Of, relating to, or being part of an innovative group, especially one in the arts: avant-garde painters; an avant-garde theater piece.
This name just resonates what we will be about – finding ways to stay ahead of the curve and at the forefront of expression. The beer will be brewed in a quasi biere de garde fashion. In many ways, we expect it will be a table beer.
It will be brewed to about 6% abv with a lager yeast at ale fermentation temperatures. We will also be custom roasting some of the malt using the restaurant pizza ovens (yummy garlic). We brewed a pilot batch in Solana Beach and can't wait to make it on a larger scale. The beer will sport a burnt blonde color with notes of freshly baked bread and a certain fruitiness from the yeast combined with Brewers Gold hops and Spalt from the French countryside.
As a brewer, what will you be able to do that you haven't before?
TA: Not bump my head on the cellar in the brewery for starters. . . .
Then, we hope to stop having to apologize as we have in the past that many of these great beers aren't available outside of San Diego. Honestly I am most excited about working on the barrel program and developing the Cuvee on a larger scale as well as other barrel-aged beers that weren't possible in the past. The packaging of many of these "elusive" beers will enable us to be in more places than in the past. We are looking at opening up new states and distribution agreements in the next few years.
Since this deal went public online, we have been flooded with calls from people wanting our beers. While this feels great, we know that we have to take care of our backyard first before we head east.
Where will your beer be distributed?
TA: Initially only in Southern California to begin with. Arizona and Northern California would be next. We hope to have some beer on the East Coast in Philly and DC before the end of 2006.

I can't believe I am taking the time to write this, but… Tomme, for God's sake man, get over yourself. You are as insuffurable in print as you are in person. I mean, where does it end? The pretension is so palpable you can choke on it. Do everyone a big favor – lighten up, keep it brief and spell you name right for the love of God.

Steve Gale says:
Old Surly Ex-Brewer, I can't believe you tooking the time either. This kind of thing is obviously for people who are interested and care. If you don't you're supposed to move on and read something that does interest you. Your reaction wastes our time as well as yours. You need to go read the knitting blogs or whatever else it is you do with your over abundance of time since you backed off brewing.
Chris Paluch says:
Love your beers at the Chicago Barrel-Aged Beer Festival. Please consider distributing your beers in Chicago!!! Thanks.
Jim Mortensen says:
I've spent hundreds in shipping bringing in your beers to the Chicago area… would also love to see distribution.

I love to taste different kind of beers it's that available in California if it's not please distributing in our town so we taste how it is.

Q: Togglez feature activation based on input parameters from call All the ActivationStrategy of togglez uses input from HttpRequest or from other context.
However, If I am using togglez for stand alone java application is there any way to pass parameters into isActive method.
Features.DOWNLOAD_ACCESS.isActive(availableBalance);

instead of
Features.DOWNLOAD_ACCESS.isActive();

Below is ReleaseDateActivationStrategy uses current date. But if some one change system date than it will fail.
https://github.com/togglz/togglz/blob/master/core/src/main/java/org/togglz/core/activation/ReleaseDateActivationStrategy.java

A: ActivationStrategies in Togglz have an IsActive method take two parameters, the FeatureState and a FeatureUser. These are supplied by a StateRepository implementation and a UserProvider implementation respectively.
If you want to have that level of customization in stand alone applications you should provide and implement a custom FeatureManagerProvider which provides the feature manager as described in the Togglz advanced config. You create a custom StateRepository and UserProvider as well.

National Citrus Institute to Educate Homeowners on Critical Citrus Threat
San Bernardino, Calif. — Oct. 27, 2010 — A dangerous pest is making its way through California, threatening the ability of homeowners to grow citrus in their backyards. The pest, called the Asian Citrus Psyllid, has sparked quarantines in Southern California, including the counties of Imperial, San Diego, Orange, and Los Angeles. The insect can be a carrier of a fatal tree disease, called Huanglongbing, also known as HLB or citrus greening disease. Together, the psyllid and the HLB disease have already caused devastation in Asia, India, parts of the Middle East, and South and Central America, and are currently ravaging the citrus industry in the state of Florida.
Educating homeowners on how to inspect citrus for the Asian Citrus Psyllid is one topic of a full day of seminar sessions that will be presented at the National Citrus Institute at the National Orange Show Events Center in San Bernardino on November 16. The institute, a permanent feature of the National Orange Show since 1919, is designed to educate local citrus growers on the industry's latest information, innovations, and updates. In the past, the institute has been an invitation-only conference for citrus growers in Southern California, however, due to the serious threat to all citrus imposed by Asian Citrus Psyllid, the conference audience has been expanded to include any party interested in citrus, including homeowners.
While the psyllids in California have not been found to be carrying the HLB disease, the Citrus Research Board, a primary organizer of the Citrus Institute, is reminding homeowners that we all play a critical role in keeping the disease out of California.
"The best way to protect California citrus is to inspect for the pest," said Ted Batkin, president of the California Citrus Research Board, and a presenter at the National Citrus Institute. "We want to encourage homeowners to do their part before it's too late."
The National Citrus Institute is offering the following tips to homeowners:
Inspect your citrus trees each month or whenever watering, spraying, pruning or tending trees. It is especially important to inspect during active growth or flushing.
Plant only California-grown, certified trees that are known to be free of the disease.
Don't move plants out of the quarantined area, because they might be carrying psyllids.
Dry out plant clippings for two weeks before putting them in green waste recycle bins or double bag clippings to avoid moving psyllids.
If you think you have found a psyllid, act fast. Time is critical. Call the California Department of Food and Agriculture hotline at 800-491-1899.
For more information on registering for the National Citrus Institute call the National Orange Show Events Center at (909) 888-6788 ext. 410 or visit www.nosevents.com. Registration is $40 and lunch is included.

Summer is one of the most popular times of the year for recreational sports and activities. Intramural sports have been growing in popularity in recent years and are a great way to combine social activity and exercise. Despite all the benefits of physical activity, sports can be very demanding of our body, especially our feet.
For example, let's take a look at football. Football has a well-known reputation for being a contact sport. Most people think of players tackling one another as the main form of contact, but have you ever thought about all of the contact the players' feet have with the ground?! All of the running, jumping, tackling and even victory dances take a toll on their feet. This pressure on the bottom of the feet can lead to many problems, ranging from corns and calluses to chronic knee and back pain.
Exercise is such an important part of whole-body health, but it can come at a price: sports injuries. The following guidelines can help you reduce your likelihood of a sports injury.
· Stretch, stretch, stretch! – Warm up exercises, although at times tedious, are there for a reason. Stretching your muscles both before and after physical activity can reduce the risk of a muscle strain or sprain.
· Change your socks – It is a good idea to change your socks between games. As you exercise, your body temperature rises causing you to sweat and your feet are no exception! Wet socks not only increase the friction between your foot and the sock, but can also harbor bacteria. This can lead to blisters and fungal infections.
· Maintain good hygiene – Wash your feet regularly, especially after a game. Trimming your toenails to an appropriate length is also important to prevent ingrown toenails.
· Choose the right shoes – Match your shoes to the activity. If you know you are going to be playing softball, for example, bring your athletic shoes with you to the field.
· Make Adjustments – If you encounter foot or ankle pain, you may need an orthotic or shoe modification. Your podiatrist can evaluate your feet and cast you for a custom orthotic. These devices slip inside of your athletic shoe and can make a huge difference in pain relief.
If you have any questions or concerns about a possible sports injury consider making an appointment with Dr. Gary N. Friedlander or Dr. Jay C. Lasrson at at Sole Foot and Ankle Specialists in Glendale, Arizona. It's our job to get you back in the game. Now, play ball!

Fr. Lee and Chuck outside our apartment building.
Our home away from home–very basic dorm room with bath and turquoise refrigerator–and very hard beds.
The power lines here fascinate me. Everywhere they look like the above picture. I wonder how Thai linemen deal with this when something goes wrong.
The second day we were here, Chuck and I took a walk in our neighborhood and came across this big temple complex. There are MANY wats (temples) in Bangkok. We have yet to see the famous ones downtown. Yesterday we ventured downtown by ourselves. First, a cab to the airport. Then the Air Link (elevated train) to downtown. After that, a change to the Sky Train, changing trains once, and arriving at the Chao Phraya River where we took a boat tour, seeing the city from the river. You will see the photos from that trip soon but, now that I can add pictures, I have some catching up to do. It is still a very slow process to load each picture.
Great to hear from you! The pictures we are sure are hard to save in the right format so that we can easily see them here. Thanks for all your hard work and time to do so. We read all that your are providing with great interest.
Pictures are showing up for others. Don't know why you can't see them. Maybe the new post will show up. Keep trying.
Wonderful pics! Looking forward to the next installment.

Figure 1. of Count Missing Values in Excel.
In the event that we are required to the data values available in a list, but happen to be missing/omitted from a separate list, we can utilize a formula syntax which is based on the following two Excel Functions – SUMPRODUCT and COUNTIF Functions. This tutorial will step through the process.
How to Use the SUMPRODUCT and COUNTIF Functions in Excel.
The COUNTIF Function in Excel references data values in a range against specified criteria.
We will utilize the SUMPRODUCT Function in Excel to add up the data values in our range and determine any missing data values.
We can achieve this by following four simple steps.
Arrange our total set of data value which we want to check out for missing items, in one column.
In the example illustrated below, we have labeled the column as OLD SUPPLIERS.
Our purposes here is to check out the listed suppliers for a retail store against a fresh list of suppliers.

Counseling should be available to anyone who wants it.
That is the guiding principle of a Catholic Family Services program funded through the United Way at the North Midland Family Center and West Midland Family Center.
Larry Quinn, counselor for the program, said people can choose to let their emotions build up or be released.
"It can be a place to let their emotions go - to vent," he said. "It can be to learn how to get ideas to cope with those different emotions."
Children, adults and seniors can use the free or low-cost service, with cost determined on a scale by income.
"It's really a pretty general counseling service," he said. "I think everybody at some time or another can benefit from counseling."
Quinn splits his time between the two family centers, spending Monday and Wednesday at the WMFC and Tuesday and Thursday at the NMFC. On Thursdays at 12:30 p.m., a group of seniors meets to discuss life issues in a comfortable format around a table after eating a meal with friends at the Mills Senior Center.
He said the group is more like a social gathering, not a therapy group.
One participant said it's good chance to blow off steam and talk about issues with others. Another said there's nothing to be afraid of because the group just sits and talks, and no one is forced to say anything they don't want to.
Quinn has a master's degree in counseling and is a retired captain from the Midland Police Department. He said counseling is similar to good police work in that it is helping people. But, counseling allows him to be more proactive in addressing issues before people reach a crisis that requires police work.
"It just seemed to me that it was a good way to continue in the people service field," he said.
Tom Conklin, executive director of Catholic Family Services-Saginaw, said the United Way allocation helps significantly in their mission: "To provide efficient, effective and professional counseling services to people without the ability to pay."
He said Quinn is freed to accept all people who need help by not having to rely on insurance companies or government programs for approval of services.
Until a couple of years ago, the agency had an office in Midland with several counselors available, but changes in the health care industry caused a change in the format.
"What we've really run into is the need to do business differently," he said.
He said services are offered on a non-denominational basis.
The agency also operates a counseling service through the local Catholic parishes, with Catholic Services Appeal money supporting those efforts.

More Pie for Biggs and co?
By Joshua Winning
Teen franchise gets big screen resurrection…
Fact: the American Pie series has degenerated into a slew of grossly unfunny DTV sequels.
But word on the Hollywood street is that a fourth 'official' American Pie movie – i.e. one involving all of the original characters like Stifler, Jim, Oz, Nadia and Michelle – is on the cards over at Universal.
The studio is looking to resurrect the cinema end of the franchise while all-but ignoring the turd-like DTV follow-ups that did the series little favours.
Screenscribes Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, who penned the Harold And Kumar films, have been approached to write American Pie 4 .
The last big screen outing for the Pie series was American Wedding way back in 2003. Four DTV spin-offs followed, the last of which - The Book Of Love - was released last year. Nobody noticed. Eugene Levy is the only actor who has appeared in all seven. These guys are pretty shocked about that...
So, where would a fourth 'true' Pie flick go?
Speculation is rife that it could centre around a 10 year high school reunion ( American Reunion ?), or simply pick up Jim and Michelle's lives as they hit a bump in their marriage (could kids be on the table? eating pie?)...
No stars are attached just yet, but Biggs hasn't made a decent film since, well, 2003. We expect all of the former leads will gladly come running back for another helping.
What would you like to see from a fourth filthy Pie flick?

The highest point in Swaziland is Emlembe (1,862 m).
Present-day Swaziland has been inhabited since the Stone Age.
Rock paintings, possibly by the San people, have been found throughout Swaziland.
The Swazi people migrated to Swaziland around 1750.
The name "Swazi" was derived from the name of a Swazi King, Mswati.
The Kingdom of Swaziland is one of three remaining monarchies in Africa. The other two are Lesotho and Morocco.
The Kingdom of Swaziland is one of the smallest countries in Africa.
The ancestral home of the Swazi people is on the coast of the Indian Ocean, near Maputo in Mozambique.
Every year the people of Swaziland celebrate Ncwala, the Festival of the First Fruits.
Ncwala begins with a journey by Swazi representatives to the Indian Ocean to collect ocean foam. When the water gatherers return to the King's residence, ceremonies take place over a six day period.
By the middle of the nineteenth century Boers had started to farm land in Swaziland.
Following wars between the Boer Republics and the British, Swaziland became a British Protectorate (1902).
Swaziland gained independence in 1968.
After independence Swaziland kept ties with Britain through the Commonwealth.
In 1986 Mswati III became the ruler of the Kingdom of Swaziland.
The Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary, Swaziland's first sanctuary for wild animals, was founded by Ted Reilly on his family farm in the 1960s.
Endangered animals, such as the black rhino, have been introduced to protected areas in Swaziland.
The University of Swaziland was founded in 1982.
In 2002 many people in Swaziland needed food aid because of drought.

Indue considers becoming a bank, floating to boost profits
By Shaun Drummond
Updated March 7, 2016 — 1.04pm first published at 12.15am
Indue may become the next payments company to become a full bank in its quest to boost profits and compete with masses of new fintech start-ups.
Chief executive Manuel Garcia is exploring options to raise up to $20 million in capital and is now entertaining pitches from advisers to guide its strategy.
Becoming Australia's latest challenger bank and floating are two options Indue boss Marcel Garcia is considering to boost profits
"The most important problem for me is to fix my access to capital," he said.
Indue is owned by mutual lenders such as credit unions. It issues payment cards, including pre-paid cards for the likes of Coles and on behalf of the federal government to welfare recipients.
As well as a possible initial public offering or takeover by another company, becoming a fully fledged bank is an option to boost its income because it already has a full banking licence.
But it would need to raise more capital to call itself a bank and start lending.
"We wouldn't take on the big banks but there is a great opportunity for a niche player," he said. "I would want to be a different type of bank."
He said younger people are much more willing to deposit their money with a bank outside the majors, including with supermarkets and global tech companies such as Apple.
But given it can already take deposits, a cheap source of funds, he could see an opportunity for Indue to lend these to build a much more profitable business.
He said Indue would find it easier to lend than card acquirer Tyro, which is moving to become a bank for small business with a cash injection of $100 million from Tiger Global Management, and Atlassian founder and Tyro board member Mike Cannon-Brookes.
Tyro had a partial banking licence and gained a full one in August, and is now applying to name itself a bank.
The banking regulator requires it to hold a minimum of $50 million in capital to become a bank.
I would want to be a different type of bank.
Manuel Garcia, Indue CEO
Indue had $27.4 million in total (tier I and tier II) capital as of June 2015.
It only uses the licence to take deposits on its pre-paid cards for corporations and government clients such as the Department of Human Services.
Mr Garcia has won a government contract to issue cards to welfare recipients in the Northern Territory and Western Australia that limits what they can buy to essential goods, and hopes it will be rolled out nationally.
This could significantly boost profits on its own but it would still need additional capital, he said.
The company made a $3.5 million profit in 2015 on revenue of almost $70 million. It paid its owners a dividend of $12 a share.
Mr Garcia has been looking at possible takeovers of Indue by supermarket chains that could use its banking licence to take deposits and fund financial products, listing on the sharemarket or getting investments in Indue from private equity.
However, Indue is a mutual owned by mutual lenders and would need to change its constitution to be able to sell shares by itself.

Scientific Background: Cyclic GMP (cGMP), which has been shown to be present at levels typically 10-100 fold lower than cAMP, is formed by the action of the enzyme guanylate cyclase on GTP. Some hormones, such as Acetylcholine, Insulin, and Oxytocin, as well as certain other chemicals like Serotonin and Histamine cause an increase in cGMP levels. Stimulators of guanylate cyclase such as the vasodilators nitroprusside, nitroglycerin, sodium nitrate, and nitric oxide (NO) also stimulate cGMP levels.
Compatibility: This product is compatible with the Absorbance 96 Plate Reader.

The Federal Assembly of Switzerland has voted in favor of putting cryptocurrency on equal footing as traditional assets.
99 members of the National Council, Switzerland's lower house of the Federal Assembly, have supported a motion to put forward proposed regulations by liberal public representative Giovanni Merlini. 83 people voted against, while 10 refrained from voting at all.
Cryptocurrencies could be issued to anyone with a decentralized, cryptographic-based peer-to-peer data network. A large part of the cryptocurrencies is completely anonymous, which favored extortion and money laundering.
The use of cryptocurrencies by terrorist groups has only involved low-level transactions — their main funding still stems from conventional banking and money remittance services.
Merlini's arguments, as well as the proposed regulations, seem somewhat surprising given the country's pro-cryptocurrency stance. The country classifies virtual currencies as assets and it has fairly relaxed regulatory burdens and low entry barriers.
In December, the country's finance minister Ueli Maurer said that instead of coming up with new cryptocurrency-specific regulations, the Federal Assembly will be adapting existing ones to fit the needs of the industry.
Following the motion's approval, however, Maurer, stated that the proposal has gone further than the scope of the planned regulations.
Arguments have also been made against the motion, as it had failed to clarify how and if there are measures to be taken to mitigate any risks.
Additional doubts have been raised whether cryptocurrency trading platforms "should be equated with the financial intermediaries and subjected to Switzerland's Financial market Supervisory Authority (FINMA).
Switzerland's progress in terms of cryptocurrency adoption, on the other hand, can't be unnoticed. Earlier this week, Bitcoinist reported that the country's biggest online retailer started accepting bitcoin for payments on their platform.
