Recently, I wrote about weed company Aphria's ambitious $1 billion sales target and the difficulty of hitting that goal. This time, I heard a similar tune from Canopy Growth (TSX:WEED)(NYSE:CGC). Being the largest publicly traded weed stock in the world, the goal of $1 billion net revenue is not ill-conceived.
However, despite the $18.9 billion market cap and industry leader status, the chances of Canopy Growth missing the target are high. Enthusiastic investors might be in for another disappointing episode. But don't tell that to Bill Newlands, CEO of Constellation Brands. The Corona beer maker CEO is exceedingly hopeful.
You can't tell if Mr. Newlands is serious or merely grandstanding about his optimistic view. Constellation Brands has $4 billion investment in Canopy Growth, which is equivalent to 38% ownership. But then again, it might be a sign of restiveness. The massive investment needs to start paying back soon.
The $1 billion net revenue target is a tough call. Cannabis sales in Canada are projected to be in the vicinity of $5-6 billion in 2019. The current sales seem to be along those figures. If Canopy Growth is bent on hitting Newland's desired revenue, the company should deliver three times more than the latest net revenue.
Constellation Brands is also hoping to introduce cannabis-infused beverages and edibles by year-end. The new market might add a significant amount of revenue. But a major roadblock stands in the way. Health Canada is poised to implement licensing regulations.
Hence, Canopy Growth will be hard pressed to meet annualized revenue that is over and above $1 billion. The reality is that sales aren't growing exponentially. Also, because of disenchantment and unpleasant experience with the Tweed brands, medical clients are shifting to less-costly unlicensed options.
By the end of the current fiscal year, annualized net revenue might double from the $332 million run rate Canopy achieved during the fourth quarter of 2018. For that to happen, though, the company needs to get awfully lucky.
The cultivation potential of Canopy Growth is enormous. A peak annual production of 500,000 kilos is not far-fetched. The five largest farms will get the job done. Unfortunately, industry peers are also working double time to increase production capacities. The danger of oversupply looms large.
If the market is overflowing with cannabis, pricing pressure will be tremendous. The sharp drop in prices and reduced gross margins will weigh heavily on Canopy Growth and the rest of the cannabis-producing companies. You can throw away the dream of $1 billion annual sales out the window.
The signals are mixed. You begin to wonder why some analysts still maintain a price target of $73.33 and an absurdly high estimate of $100. I'm not bursting anyone's bubble. But the way things are going, Canopy Growth and other cannabis companies should come clean. It's better to stick to realistic numbers than pluck them out of the air.


Jonathan Fickies Bennett Fischer, the chapter leader at PS 231 @ PS 54 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, seized on the UFT's new protocol to confront redundant and excessive paperwork to address three big paperwork issues at his District 75 K–8 school.
A strong seven-member union consultation committee led by Fischer used the UFT's paperwork reporting form in November 2016 to beat back the principal's effort to require teachers to keep burdensome student binders, in violation of the paperwork standards negotiated by the DOE and the UFT in 2015.
Fischer also reported to the union that members in his chapter were being asked to create multi-page unit plans when the UFT-DOE contract states that a unit plan should be only one page. Once again, the principal had to resolve the issue.
Fischer claimed a third paperwork victory after notifying the union that the principal was issuing weekly guidance memos to PS 231 members that "suggested" all types of inquiry work and onerous recordkeeping on Friday afternoons set aside for teacher-directed common planning.
The matter was brought to the attention of the district paperwork committee. Shortly thereafter, the district superintendent reached a resolution with the UFT district representative, and the principal communicated that resolution to the staff in writing.
Fischer applauded the UFT's new protocol for enabling his team to win "very quick settlements" in these three cases.
He has built a strong union chapter despite the challenge of representing 250 members spread across six sites. Fischer's steady flow of informative emails and newsletters as well as after-school happy hours have forged chapter unity and empowered members.
Teacher and UFT delegate Jillian Moses gives Fischer credit for tackling the paperwork issues at the school. "He has worked tirelessly to ensure our contract is adhered to and our rights are protected," she said.


The goal for care at ChiroLife is to improve spinal health – and all musculoskeletal health in the body – in order to reduce pain and enable the body to perform at an optimal state.
One of the most common health complaints, back pain is something nearly everyone has experienced at one time or another. Chiropractic care is a highly effective, non-surgical, drug free method of treating and relieving many different sources of back pain.
Symptoms and causes are unique to each individual. Through the initial exam, a chiropractor will identify the source of the pain and develop a custom treatment plan. Chiropractic care for back pain may involve spinal adjustment, chiropractic mobilization, physical therapy and muscle stimulation. The treatment is gentle and may also involve movement and stretching of the muscles and joints with the ultimate goal of alleviating pain and increasing range of motion in the affected areas.
Chiropractic medicine is highly effective in treating sports-related injuries. Both pro athletes and "weekend warriors" alike depend on chiropractic care to heal injuries and improve performance. Injuries to the spine and joints can inhibit your range of motion; reduce strength and endurance and slow reflexes – all of which affect sports and exercise performance.
Through chiropractic rehabilitation, proper joint function is restored and support muscles are strengthened. Treatment plans usually include spinal and/or joint adjustments specific to the patient's needs. Patients usually receive simple exercises to perform on their own to continue to strengthen support muscles and promote the healing process.
Numerous studies have shown that chiropractic care for migraines is as effective as medication, but does not cause side effects. Understanding what triggers the migraine is key to developing a course of treatment. Misalignment of the vertebrae in the spine may be identified as the cause. When nerves around the spine become irritated from the misalignment, a person may be more prone to chemical imbalances in the brain and headaches. By realigning the vertebrae, the pressure is relieved, inflammation is reduced and the headache disappears. Gentle and easy exercises can be taught to prevent future headaches.
These sensations are often caused by nerve pressure or compromised blood flow between the neck and the hand. When muscles become tight or inflamed, or bones are slightly out of alignment, there is less space for the nerves and vessels to pass through them. This pressure may lead to pain, tingling or numbness.
There are several causes of the pain and numbness, but the most common include a bulging or herniated disc in the neck, a spinal misalignment or peripheral entrapment, which is pressure on nerves or vessels away from the spine. To treat this condition, chiropractors perform an extensive spinal examination to locate the cause of the problem. A treatment plan may include adjustments, cervical traction, muscle stimulation, ultrasound, heat or ice therapy, as well as stretching and strengthening exercises.
Chiropractic care is an effective, drug-free approach for those suffering from chronic sinusitis. By targeting and gently pressing on the bones and mucous membranes surrounding the sinus cavities, chiropractors are able to relieve painful sinus and congestion symptoms. Treatments often result in improved breathing, better drainage, headache relief and improved sleep.
Dizziness or vertigo has many different causes, but is usually a very treatable condition that can be relieved by a chiropractor. After an examination and determination of the cause, an individual course of treatment will be recommended. In more serious cases, a referral to a neurologist will be made. The most common causes of dizziness are benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), acute vestibular neuronitis or labyrinthitis. More serious causes of dizziness, such as stroke, tumor or neurological diseases usually present with other symptoms that would be detected upon examination.
Dizziness such as BPPV is easily detected and treated in the chiropractor's office through repositioning maneuvers. A very effective treatment, most patients are symptom free in very few visits. It is often easier to make an appointment with a qualified chiropractor to treat this disorder, as specialists in many medical facilities are few and far between.
ChiroLife specializes in handling workers compensation claims. If you are injured on the job or while performing work off-site, you are entitled to compensation for health services required. If your condition can be helped by chiropractic medicine, ChiroLife will determine the worker's compensation benefits you are entitled to and prepare the claims. We are also able to refer you to reputable and experienced attorneys, should you need them.
Car accidents often lead to back problems for the victims. One of the most common problems is whiplash, when an individual's head is snapped quickly forward and then backward. This can lead to neck pain, stiffness, headaches, blurred vision or tingling sensations. Symptoms may not appear until long after an accident occurs. For this reason, victims are encouraged to seek a spinal examination soon after an accident so that trauma can be determined and corrected before it gets worse. If left untreated, even minor neck and back injuries can lead to joint degeneration in years to come. ChiroLife is well versed in claim procedures and have helped hundreds of accident victims return to good health.
Whiplash is an injury to the neck that occurs when an individual's head is snapped quickly forward and then backward. It is a common injury resulting from rear-impact car accidents. The neck is often both hyper extended and hyper flexed, causing irritation to the joints and soft tissue around the spine. Joints may become misaligned and stop moving properly, resulting in pain. Other symptoms may include neck stiffness, headache, dizziness, fatigue, jaw pain and visual problems.
A chiropractic exam will indicate where the trouble spots are and a treatment plan can be developed to alleviate the pain. Treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, muscle stimulation therapy, traction therapy or deep tissue massage.
Sciatica nerves extend from the hips down the back of each leg and divide into smaller nerves that travel into the thigh, calf, feet and toes. Sciatica pain is caused when these nerves are irritated, compressed or inflamed. Many patients with sciatic complain of a shooting pain down the leg into the toes. There are many different causes, but a misaligned lumbar vertebra is a very common one. The out of place vertebrae puts pressure on the nerve, causing pain. Chiropractic care is an ideal, drug-free approach to relieving this pain by correcting the source of the problem. Through examination, the chiropractor will locate the misalignment and nerve irritation and release the pressure on the nerve so that the body can heal.
How well a person recovers from orthopedic surgery is largely due to the effectiveness of their rehabilitation program and whether they are able to follow the program correctly. Inadequate or neglected post-operative rehabilitation is often the main reason that patients continue to experience pain after surgery. Our chiropractic office can make sticking to your rehabilitation easier for you.
Our staff will teach you step-by-step to make sure you understand the rehab program prescribed before you leave. Our programs adapt with your progress as you regain strength and range of motion. The individualized attention and support you receive from ChiroLife will help you to achieve a complete recovery.
Most people seek chiropractic care to relieve an ailment like back pain. Interestingly, once they begin to receive care for their spine, several other ailments they may have had, such as indigestion, begin to heal as well. Studies have shown a link between middle back pain and indigestion in particular. Nerves extend from the middle of the spine on into digestive organs such as the stomach, pancreas and intestines. The pressure of bones on these nerves from a misaligned spine can cause disruptions in digestive functions. A chiropractic adjustment can relieve the pressure and help the nerves return to normal. Once the nerves are healed, the indigestion goes away.
Chiropractic care offers safe and effective treatment of disc injuries. Whether the result of acute trauma or long-term poor posture, discs may bulge or herniate, putting pressure on the spinal nerves and cause pain, tingling or numbness at the site of the injury and possibly through the arms or legs. Disc problems respond very well to chiropractic adjustments to the spine and extremity joints.
Intervertebral discs are tough cartilage pads that separate the bones of the spine. When healthy, they are thick and flexible to allow for a wide range of spinal motion. Over time, simple gravity, past spinal irritation and joint dysfunction can cause the discs in the spine to compress or degenerate. In this state, they are more susceptible to injuries like disc herniation.
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a condition characterized by constant fatigue that tends to worsen with mental and physical exertion and does not improve with rest. One cause of chronic fatigue is an unbalanced spine. A result of dysfunction of the body's energy production system, CFS can affect not only the central nervous system but also the digestive and immune systems. Treatment for CFS is often geared toward improving balance physically, nutritionally and mentally. Adjustments to restore balance to the spine are especially helpful in restoring energy to the nervous system and reducing fatigue. Treatments may also include stretching, exercise, massage, posture rehabilitation and nutritional counseling.
Arthritis is a general term that covers a wide range of conditions. Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis in the U.S., often referred to as "wear and tear" joint degeneration, or the breakdown of cartilage in the joints. Chiropractic care is very helpful in relieving the aches and pains of most forms of arthritis. Treatments may include spinal adjustments, manual stretching, exercises and traction. Chiropractic care helps to take pressure off of the joints by restoring normal alignment to the spine and pelvis. Reducing this pressure may diminish or stop the rate of degeneration of the spine, hips and other joints.
Repetitive motion injuries are caused by long-term, continual overuse of soft-tissues or by chronic muscle tightness that eventually leads to dysfunction and pain. Overuse and incorrect form result in the formation of fibrous scar tissue and a reduction in flexibility and strength. In addition to pain, stiffness and/or weakness are common symptoms that present over time.
One of the most common repetitive motion injuries is carpal tunnel syndrome. The carpal tunnel is a small canal inside the wrist made up by the wrist bones and the transverse ligament – a fibrous band at the bottom of the tunnel. Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by pressure placed on the median nerve that passes through the small bones of the wrist as it enters the hand. Repetitive strain leads to pressure on the nerve and the resulting stiffness and pain.
Through joint and soft tissue adjustments, the pressure is released and the inflammation surrounding the median nerve can heal. Key to a successful treatment is the correction of the initial causes of the repetitive motion. This may include correcting poor posture, creating a more ergonomic work environment or adjusting personal form and technique in whatever motion originally caused the pain.


Some divorces are so hostile and contentious that the fight continues throughout the entire process and even long after the judge issues the divorce decree. Spouses who feel that they have been slighted feel compelled to punish the other one and don't care whose time they waste while doing so. They begin a campaign of harassment that can last an uncomfortably one long.
One regrettably common form of revenge is vexatious litigation, which is the act of filing one baseless motion after another for the sole purpose of harassing one's former husband or wife. Most spouses who go this route act pro se, meaning that they represent themselves. The reason why is obvious: few if any New York attorneys want to get involved in filing several unrelated cases to spite someone and cost them a fortune in attorney's fees.
Directing your attorney to file a motion requesting that the judge in the case strike whatever pleading the other person filed. Judges have little patience with frivolous lawsuits and will usually comply if the motion is without merit.
Ask the attorney to file a motion for contempt if the court has already warned your ex to stop filing vexatious and baseless pleadings. Disobeying a court order has serious consequences that include fines and even jail time. At the very least, the judge may require the person to have an attorney review their future pleadings for merit before filing is allowed.
If the court believes that your former spouse is filing one motion after another for the sole purpose of saddling you with a fortune's worth of legal costs, they can order him or her to pay your attorney's fees. If this doesn't solve the problem or the person refuses to pay, other penalties include contempt charges, fines or even a jail sentence.
If your former spouse is indulging in nuisance lawsuits that are stressing you out and costing money, speak to your New York family law attorney. They will help you stand up for yourself in court, support all attempts to bring the harassment to an end and prevent your ex from filing baseless motions in the future. When the court system is used to punish innocent parties, judges can—and usually will—come down on your side and put the other person out of the litigation hobby for good.

Just so everyone knows this is not correct . You do not need to make up a jig at all .
So you've done the factory training, then, Wilkson?
When I prepared the 1199 R, once the IMU unit had been disconnected, fiddled around with trying to fit the older fairings, then refitted with its standard fairings and headlight unit, we couldn't get it to reset until we refitted the sidestand and reinitialized the IMU to return to factory spec.
Maybe this isn't necessary, but simple logic says it is, otherwise, what's the base setting point going to be?
I don't like error codes on my bikes. At all.
If you have info meaning this isn't necessary, please share it. It's also like the inability to simply load in the up-map without the full dealership DDA present and their internet connection with the factory server.
More complexity is good, but often more hassle, too.
I've posted a mini thread here on fitting the Ducati track fairings which may be handy for anyone looking at doing this. I'll try to do a proper thread on this site if I get a chance.
This is the pre-2015 kit. I still haven't seen any 2015 kit available from DP.
There is no provision for mounting the IMU sensor.
Already purchased by several members on this board and confirmed myself with a call to the dealer.
Your making things more complicate than things need to be and sharing information that is not necessary . I don't care if you trained with NASA .
Here is my IMU bracket I have made and tested which works perfect . Three bikes have been done this way without the side stand and all bikes are currently racing with no issues .
Your the first guy to ever bring this up including "factory trained " techs we have here .If you need a bracket let me know I'm having some more made up .

Logically I'd be surprised if the IMU unit is dependent on its physical position to calibrate it's "zero".
I should think it would know which orientation is level , which way is up and which way is forward based on its internal gyro and accelerometers.
It's possible that it is dependent on its orientation, but that's not a very robust design not to mention not very German.

Stripped my 1299S ready for race fairings.. Pulled off the temp sensor and imu and put to one side..
Simply disconnected battery and reconnected, faults went away and not had any issues or faults since. IMU was put back roughly in the same location with similar orientation.

New Zealand's connections with China also allowed us to largely sidestep the economic pain felt across the United States and Europe - as the nation became a more important regional trading partner, and credit creation from China and other emerging markets supported domestic property markets.
Now, looking to the future, it may not be trade tariffs that stand to be China's biggest challenge - but this massive expansion of credit, and the extreme level of both personal and corporate debt it has created.
In an attempt to manage this problem, China's government has continuously stepped in to stimulate growth, but there are tell-tale signs this has become unsustainable - as it now takes more than USD$4 of debt to generate just USD$1 of economic growth.
Overcapacity is a major issue and poses a significant deflationary risk to the rest of the world as China looks to export their economic imbalances. It's this threat which has prompted the subsequent push-back from the United States in the form of increased tariffs.
Turning to the emerging markets, many see the growth in US currency and interest rates as the cause of their troubles. In reality, these markets had been showing signs of economic stress for some time before the USD started to strengthen - and the increasing value of the USD is not the cause but a consequence of weakening local emerging market economies and domestic currency imbalances.
Excessive government spending, the likes of which we're seeing in Venezuela and Brazil, has led to dislocations and loss of investor confidence, followed by a flight of capital that has putting additional pressure on those currencies.
This in turn increases the cost of servicing debts denominated in foreign currencies, predominantly USD - increasing the demand for USD, and helping to drive its value even higher. This cycle feeds on itself and increases the domestic economic risks.
This could be further amplified by the divergent monetary policies we're seeing from the central banks of developed and emerging markets - which could further tighten financial conditions in emerging markets, benefiting the US dollar and seeing emerging market economies stagnate.
Domestically, we have seen the NZD devalue by over 15 per cent this year, from its January highs - and despite a cheaper currency, exports have not experienced a major lift, with our trade deficit widening in September.
While concerns over emerging markets are valid, the good news is that the New Zealand economy is unlikely to fall off a cliff anytime soon - but rather we may experience a period of stagnation as our major trading partners work through their overcapacity and saturated debt levels.
How many of you guys want a legacy/are working for your children and grandchildren ?

God: The Westminster Catechism defines as a spirit, infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in his being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth. If you are going to ask for help you need to ask somone who is willing and able to help.
Serenity: Synonyms are calmness, tranquillity, peacefulness, quietness, uncloudedness. Worry is the opposite of serenity; a frustrated attempt to "do something". When we act out of worry and other emotions we create more problems. When we act out of serenity we can have confidence in our actions.
Accept: To receive willingly or favorably, agree to, concur with, release. Wanting a "normal" life causes us to deny the way things really are. Only when we "accept" can we focus on the things we can change.
Change: To make different. Often we want things to be different as long as we don't have to change. If we always do what we've always done, we'll get what we've always got.
Courage: The ability to meet danger or opposition with fearlessness, calmness and firmness. The most courageous word in our language is often "no" (i.e. to old habits). Sometimes we need encouragement from others to support our actions.
Wisdom: Synonyms are discernment, judgment, uncommon-sense. Like serenity, wisdom often comes through patience and experience. Wisdom often comes from other people who have "been there" before.
Know: To be sure of, understand, recognize, distinguish between. To act or not to act - often our knowing is less than perfect. Often we can rationalize ourselves out of doing something we know to do.
If you find yourself worried, troubled, anxious, or just dealing with some angst in your life try praying the Serenity Prayer ... it may help you to cast your cares on the Lord.
Thanks for the encouragement and the breakdown on this useful prayer!
This is GREAT! I never saw it broke down like this before, I am printing this out. Thanks, KB. And nice new pic!
I used the full prayer in my novel about alcoholism, Beyond the Shadows.
Thanks Robin. I almost posted the whole prayer but got lazy!

May 15 - Peter Maurin, Teacher, Visionary, Radical
Peter Maurin's mother and father were poor farmers in a village named Oultet in Southern France. As is often the case for those who make their living by the land, life was a challenge from sunrise and sundown that was punctuated with many moments of uncertainty and rare moments of quiet confidence. He was one of twenty-four children that indubitably did their best to help on the farm and fill each other's lives with the comfort and solace of the community of family. When he was sixteen, though, Peter departed his family home and joined up with a Christian group called "The Institute of the Brothers of Christian Schools." He trained to be a teacher and to move into some community in need of education and guidance and start a school. They professed vows of simplicity and piety as well as a passion for educating and caring for the poor. He found this life fulfilling but just as he was really beginning to enjoy the community he was conscripted into mandatory military service. He was uncomfortable with the nature of the relationship between politics and religion--how the State so often took upon itself the cloak of the Church in a manipulative and dangerous way--and this thread would run through the remainder of his life.When he was released from his mandatory service he found out, with much frustration, that the French government was shutting down religious schools throughout the country. Peter responded by joining a lay group known as Le Sillon which advocated for worker's rights and democratic ideals. Though he tried to assimilate into Le Sillon he could not escape the pervasive suspicion that the conflation of politics and religion created problems. So, in 1909 he emigrated to Canada to escape the political life that so dominated his existence in France.
He had chosen Canada--specifically Saskatchewan--because they did not have obligatory military service or conscription and, so, it seemed to hold the promise of a life of piety without politics. He built a home and shared it with others but soon found that the life of escape was not one to which he was called even if he was still called to a life of poverty. He left Saskatchewan and began taking odd jobs in the United States or, in hard times, wherever he could find them. He worked hard and asked for little. When he was able and life and funds permitted him to do so he would go to New York and teach the poor the skills they might desperately need. Often, he was unpaid for this service because of the expansive quality of the poverty he struggled against. He would spend his time teaching in the public library or sharing his life and experiences with people on the streets. He had minimized his own interaction with politics while emphasizing his own relationship with his God and his Faith. One of the people whom he regularly had conversation with gave him the name and address of a new convert and freelance writer by the name of Dorothy Day. Peter sought out Dorothy and his life took another turn.
The two developed an intense and passionate relationship as two friends and beloved coworkers in the Kingdom of God. Dorothy was a gifted writer and Peter had ideas that had true potential to rock the world. Before they did anything, though, Peter insisted that Dorothy receive an education about how to look at the world through truly Christian eyes. It was always Peter's insistence that the Kingdom of God operated on a different set of values and procedures. He didn't think that the old world and the corrupt systems needed to be conquered so much as allowed to destroy themselves.Peter taught Dorothy and others that the Christian way was to focus upon piety and faith and allow broken systems to self-destruct. This is how Peter and Dorothy proceeded and this is how Peter finally understood himself to escape the worst part of the painful grasp of the political machines. The two of them started The Catholic Worker and it soon became a widely read and appreciated newspaper. Through the paper, Peter advocated a return to the practice of Christian hospitality, the increased importance of farms, and the value of community among other things.Insisting that "there is no unemployment on the land," Peter moved to a communal farm in Pennsylvania and spent the remainder of his days aiding in the publication of The Catholic Worker, teaching those willing to hear, and advocating for the poor against systems that tried to undo them all. He died in 1949 and was buried in a second-hand suit in a donated grave.

Wow. They are using the same blue and green we have on our uniforms at work!
So... what are the thoughts on how Keolis will/would do as the operator?
Are you referring to the MBCR uniforms? Because those are blue and yellow.

Do you really think someone wouldn't know the color scheme of his own uniform?
I am back in the Concord store again, for awhile. Managers tend to stay in one store, which is fine with me. I can see and hear the trains pass by.
Same colors as the company I work for as well (not MBCR).
I wonder if they're all getting them from the same place?
As this is a rail forum, I wouldn't think that somebody would be referring to something like cumberland farms as a connection to a railroad entity.
He was referring to his own employer, as he stated. Not everyone here works for the railroad.
And the Boston Globe has this update on the hearing prompted by MBCR's protest of the award to Keolis.
MBCR finally lost the law suit. Now we should see Keolis be more vocal about the take over.

Wonderful. Now, let's get on with it.


For the week of my birthday (September 24), I decided to fulfill a longtime desire. I finally got around to having lunch at Bleu, the upscale restaurant inside The Westin Hotel in Downtown Memphis. The restaurant faces Third St. and FedExForum's box office, where I've worked for the past two years. The upscale eatery specializes in Modern American cuisine, but my visit centered on its version of a classic. My meal of choice was the Build Your Own (BYO) Sandwich. The sandwich can come in a variety of ways with regards to meat, bun and various toppings. My emphasis was on Bleu's cheeseburger, hailed as one of the best in town by many media sources such as the blog Best Memphis Burger. I wanted to see if the hype about it was true, so I had lunch there two days after my birthday.
During my visit to Bleu, I decided to make the most of it. For my burger, I got my 100% Angus Beef cooked medium rare and garnished with all of my favorite toppings: roasted red peppers, caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms, aged cheddar, chipotle mayo (which technically isn't a topping) and avocado. For the bun, I went with the Kaiser roll because it was the most "burger" compatible among my choices of bread. To go with my burger, I got fries and a glass of Stella Artois.
After waiting a little over ten minutes, my burger arrived. What I'm about to say is an old and tired cliché, but the burger was a thing of beauty. From an appearance standpoint, everything looked perfect. The inside of the ground beef was medium pink, an indicator of it being medium rare. All of the toppings looked fresh as though it came straight from the farm. Even the huge Kaiser roll looked impressive, which along with everything else, made me anxious to tear into the burger.
From the first bite, I enjoyed every bit of my BYO Burger. The ground beef was lean, tender and perfectly seasoned with what I believe was a mix of salt and black pepper. The meat itself was definitely medium rare, judging from the taste of it. Collectively, all the toppings were excellent. I'm particularly glad that I chose avocado, because its soft texture and nutty butter flavor serves as a vegetable fat (even though it's a fruit) that blends well into the meat. The fattiness of the avocado and the leanness of the beef make for a great combination of richness and flavor. With the other perfectly prepared toppings and a freshly baked Kaiser roll, I had a burger that tasted better than any other that I've had in Memphis.
The fries, although not on par with my burger's quality, were decent. They were somewhat soft and seasoned with salt, resulting in a taste that was satisfying yet not better than average. However, the fries were good enough to complement my cheeseburger in a positive way.
The only thing that kept my lunch from being perfect was the beer. Although I ordered a glass of Stella Artois, the beer didn't taste anything like it. It had a sour, slightly sweet taste that might have been the result of a "contaminated" tap line. I felt like I was drinking a mix of Stella and Bud Light. With The Westin being an upscale hotel, I expected better from its premiere restaurant. Even though my beer was a disappointment, it wasn't bad enough to offset the joy I got from my delicious cheeseburger.
Speaking of my burger (again), I have concluded that Bleu makes the best burger in Memphis. I'm not saying this because of the way that Bleu prepared my burger. Rather, it's more about the concept of the BYO Burger with regards to versatility. Because of the many combinations that can comprise the burger, a person can get a different and unique BYO on every visit to Bleu. With the ingredients prepared by a first class chef, the quality will be consistent no matter how many ways the burger gets made. This versatility makes the Bleu BYO Burger (using my friend Seth's catchphrase) my best Memphis burger for the foreseeable future (sorry Sweden Kream).
As a delayed birthday gift to myself, I don't think I could have done a lot better than Bleu. Next year, I might splurge a bit by having dinner there. I've heard great things about its Modern American menu, which makes me eager to visit again. When I do, I hope the experience equals the satisfaction I got from my cheeseburger. If it does, it will be a great day.


STA-BIL 360˚® MARINE™ – use it with every fill up to help keep your engine running cleaner, leaner, smoother and stronger than ever.
1oz treats up to 10 gallons (38 liters) of fuel. Product does not contain alcohol. Perfect for use in all boats, jet skies, and other watersport engines.
5-IN-1 MAXIMIZER HELPS TAKE PERFORMANCE OVER THE TOP.
PREVENT ETHANOL DAMAGE: Protect your entire fuel system against damaging rust and corrosion caused by moisture and ethanol fuels. Provides a protective coating on ALL the metal parts of the entire fuel system and combustion chamber, even when the engine is not running.
INCREASE POWER: Strip away carbon buildup, gum and varnish that can inhibit engine performance, and get the most out of your fuel by burning it more completely. Bring back the power your engine once knew. Clear and prevent harmful gum, varnish and buildup throughout the combustion chamber and injectors.
MAXIMIZE FUEL ECONOMY: Burn fuel more completely and efficiently by preserving the fuel system and engine.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I USE STA-BIL® 360°™ MARINE?
In marine equipment you use frequently, STA-BIL 360° MARINE should be used AT EVERY FILL UP for ultimate, year round protection against corrosion. If your boat is in storage, one use of the product will stabilize the fuel for up to 12 months (if added to fresh fuel).
HOW MUCH FUEL DOES ONE BOTTLE OF STA-BIL 360°™ MARINE TREAT?
One 12 oz. bottle of STA-BIL 360° MARINE treats up to 120 gallons of gasoline. There is also a 40 oz. bottle available that will treat up to 400 gallons of fuel. Use 1 oz. for every 10 gallons of fuel at every fill-up and when storing for an extended period. STA-BIL 360° MARINE is safe to use in ALL gasoline engines, including 4 and 2-cycle, and safe to use in ALL gasoline blends from ethanol-free gasoline to E85.

Once poured into a tank of fuel, STA-BIL 360° MARINE will provide a vaporized corrosion inhibitor coating for up to 12 months in a stored boat or equipment. However, once a tank of fuel is used up, and new fuel is poured into tank, it will be necessary to re-treat the fuel with 360° Performance.
HOW IS STA-BIL 360°™ MARINE DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER STA-BIL BRANDED PRODUCTS?
STA-BIL 360° MARINE accomplishes everything our current STA-BIL products offer, including keeping fuel fresh, removing water, cleaning the fuel system and more, but this revolutionary new product provides an exciting new level of protection for ultimate performance. For the first time, STA-BIL 360° MARINE delivers corrosion protection above and below the fuel line by releasing an innovative vapor that coats all metal parts within the fuel system to prevent corrosion.
HOW DOES STA-BIL 360°™ MARINE WORK?
STA-BIL 360° MARINE offers comprehensive protection by releasing a microscopic corrosion preventing vapor inside the fuel system that coats ALL metals parts, including the fuel tank, fuel sending unit, valves, carburetor, fuel injectors and intake manifold. It's like fogging oil for your entire fuel system, offering "360 degrees" of corrosion protection and is safe to use in all types of gasoline – from ethanol-free fuel to E85.
WHAT TYPES OF VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT SHOULD I USE STA-BIL 360°™ MARINE IN?
STA-BIL 360° MARINE can be used in any gasoline engine, including 2-cycle, but is specifically designed for use in boats and other equipment used in high moisture environments.
My bottle has turned a brown color - is it still ok to use?
Yes, it is normal for the dye of the liquid to change color and this is no indication of the product's efficiency.
STA-BIL 360°® Marine™ is rated 4.9 out of 5 by 53.
Rated 5 out of 5 by tbwin from great features and benifits I bought this stuff a month ago for my 3 boats. A pontoon, crag cat, and my fishing boat. We are on a private lake and not all of the boats get used daily so the Sta-bil will help keep my gas in these engines fresh all year long. I don't have to worry about the gas in these boats going bad if they are not used often as I would like. None of these boats are new and after I put this Marine Sta-Bil in the gas tanks I have had zero problems starting any of our boats. I believe this product is one of the best in the market and well worth the money.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pflugerjeep from Great Product Made Even Better I've been using the regular red Sta-Bil for years and years now. I've got some gasoline in an engine-drive welder that's been in there over two years and it still starts and runs fine! I know that's NOT recommended, but it just goes to show how how effective this stuff really is. I'm looking forward to even better things from Sta-Bil 360 Marine. I like the idea that the vapor fills the fuel system and helps prevent corrosion from water in the fuel. If this stuff is anywhere as effective as even their regular product, it's going to be a hit!
Rated 5 out of 5 by TKwaz from After 2 years in storage I have eight 5 GL containers for the emergency generator. I put about 2 oz in each 5 GL container 2 years ago. Thinking it's time to refresh these, I've put all eight through my car with absolutely zero difference in performance from straight from the pump fresh gas. I was very skeptical and pensive but no more.
Rated 5 out of 5 by RW 1 from This stuff works! I have been using Sta-Bil products for years. The first thing I do when I purchase fresh gas is add Sta-Bil. I have never had a fuel related problem running my outdoor power equipment. If you take care of your tools they will take care of you. Some of my friends only use it at the end of the season before they put their equipment away. Use it every time you get new fuel. You'll be glad you did.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Autopia Angus from Great for non-marine use too! I used marine STA-BIL every time I pull up my BMW and get gas for my lawn tractor and 2 stroke small engines. I prefer it to the red STA-BIL because the Marine version treats for Ethanol. Great stuff!
Rated 5 out of 5 by TexasChris_1966 from Carb and fuel saver for lesser used engines I have an old convertible that spends more time in the garage than out of the garage. Because of life, there are times the car doesn't get driven for 6 months or more. I live in Texas where the fuel additives wreak havoc on fuel systems after a month or two. I have used Sta-Bil 360 for about 5 years and in this time I have not experienced any fuel related issues. before I started using Sta-Bil, I would have to occasionally drain the gas tank and tolerate a rough running vehicle for 30 miles or more until the fuel system cleaned itself out.
Rated 5 out of 5 by vetteman04 from Great product. I have been using Stabil in my collector cars and other not used so much vehicles for years. Thought I would try out this new product on the boat. I am very happy with the results as I new I would be.

IBNA Analysis/Majority in Albania breaks. Who will benefit?
By Edison Kurani / 18/07/2016 / Comments Off on IBNA Analysis/Majority in Albania breaks. Who will benefit?
Tirana, 18 July 2016/Independent Balkan News Agency
By Edison Kurani
In Albania, the governing majority led by Rama and Meta seems to be coming to an end and this not as a result of the opposition, but as a result of the disagreements within the left wing.
Speaker of Parliament, Ilir Meta who leads the second largest political party of the coalition, SMI, announced for the first time on Sunday the plan to disperse parliament and overthrow the government.
Mr. Meta spoke of a parliament which he considered as a den of criminals that must leave the place to another one and that PM Rama's cabinet must fall and be replaced by a technical government made up of experts, which will take the country to early elections.
Mr. Meta's declarations were unexpected and are seen by analysts as a proper rupture of the majority.
Everything is happening at the peak of debates and negotiations for the reform in justice.
Rama as leader of the majority and Basha as leader of the opposition, are trying to find a solution in order for the reform to be passed in parliament on 21 July.
The USA and EU have strongly rallied in favor of this, especially the US ambassador, Donald Lu and the EU ambassador, Romana Vlahutin.
But so far everyone has spoken and nobody has announced the news of consensus.
At this point, Meta intervenes as if he wants to put a lid on everything with an iron hand.
This was clearly seen in Mr. Meta's media appearance. He warned that for the sake of compromise, he's ready to resign as speaker of Parliament and the ministers of the party that he leaders, to resign from the government cabinet.
On the other hand, Mr. Meta s aid that he was ready for a meeting between him, Rama, Basha, Lu and Vlahutin. But Meta said that if consensus is not reached, none of them would come out with the post that they hold.
"Consensus is necessary to be achieved and all five of us must be locked into a room or all five of us must come out in front of the Albanian citizens to deliver this reform or identify the guilty side for the reform", Mr. Meta said.
The speaker of Parliament and SMI also stopped on the hybrid proposal made by Mr. Lu, which was conveyed to Albanian politicians by the US Assistant State Secretary, Victoria Nuland. Meta said that he backed this incentive, "but consensus is necessary to be achieved", clarifying that he's against the American plan that the reform in the judicial system must even be passed with individual votes on 21 July, without the consensus between majority and opposition.
US-EU ambassadors impose a condition on Meta
A few hours after Meta's appearance came the reactions by Lu and Vlahutin. They said that they agreed on all five meeting, but demanded for the talks to be held based on the hybrid proposal alone.
Mr. Rama reacted immediately after them, ready for fresh negotiations:
"I'm ready to sit at any moment in the round table proposed by Ilir Meta. Any face to face discussion for the reform in the judicial system until 21 July is worthy".
Meanwhile, on Monday morning (18.07) came the opposition's leader reaction. He backed "Meta's plan" for fresh elections. "I and the DP have considered and consider the possibility of creating a technical government as a necessity for holding free and honest elections and to put an end to the crisis that has engulfed the country", Basha said confirming that he welcomes Mr. Meta's stance "for the creation of a technical government which will hold free and honest elections in the country".
Basha also comments Meta's unexpected movement. "The fact that a majority party joins in its way and autonomy the opposition's option, clearly shows that this is the only path, in circumstances of an extreme degradation of the government, for political parties to compete in a fair and free way in the elections, by leaving the decision in the hands of the people".
Calculations, who wins out of this scenario
In case the government falls and early elections are held, the options as to who wins seem easy to be calculated, but also very complicated. Some say that the failure of the voting of the reform in justice gives extra points to the head of the SP, Edi Rama. In such scenario, Rama demands early elections and heads without SMI in them. By calculating the numbers, in the 140 seat parliament, Rama can try and win 71 seats in order to create a government and then try to approve the reform in justice by either "buying" the other votes, or by making concessions to the opposition.
In Meta's scenario, things look clearly in his favor. He is aiming to make it easier for himself to become Prime Minister: He calls for the reform in justice to be passed with consensus alone and disperses parliament. A technical government is created and this government prepares the early elections. Meta enters the elections without the SP and DP in coalition, but joins smaller parties. In such scenario, he manages to secure at best 40 seats and assumes a key role for the new government. In this point, it is he who decides if he will be in a coalition with the SP or DP and who will lead the government. And in such case, Meta has a great desire to be Prime Minister once again, like he was in 1999.
The opposition too has a scenario for the upcoming elections. In case fresh elections are held, alone or with the traditional allies, it will try to win 71 seats, which so far seems difficult. The dilemma then is if Basha would be willing to go back into a coalition with Meta.
What's more, the dilemma would relate to the name of the head of the government, Basha or Meta.
Important constitutional amendments that not everyone knows
An opinion poll carried out in the country showed that 91% of Albanians want the reform in justice. The rest was against or indifferent.
However, only a small part of them know the details of the reform. Even fewer know that along with it also changes almost the entire Constitution of the country, which has been approved through a people's referendum in 1998. These are essential amendments that relate to the main principles of the rule of law and of a democratic country.
This would be a new Constitution, there would be new institutions, a new president, a new parliament.
If this reform is passed, many institutions will be new and other existing ones will be restructured. They will bear the main weight of the success or failure of this reform. A reform which is not approved for the next elections, but at least for the next 30 years. /balkaneu.com/

W Zone at King's Cross given final go ahead
W Zone, featuring three mixed use buildings and ecology gardens, now has the go ahead
Posted: Tuesday 30th April 2019
Kings Cross Central Limited Partnership (KCCLP) was today, 30 April 2019, given the final go ahead by Islington Council on the W Zone.
The W Zone, located off York Way and Randell's Road will comprise three mixed use buildings, known as W1, W2 and W3, positioned around a central podium garden. The site masterplan, developed by David Morley Architects, includes a mixture of residential, across a range of tenures, as well as leisure space, plus a managed ecology garden with a focus on education and community engagement, to be known as the Habitat Zone.
Buildings W1 and W2, which together include 218 residential units, have been designed by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios and David Morley Architects. The buildings were granted reserved matters planning approval in June 2016, with small amends recently approved by Islington Council on 5 March 2019. The recent amends to Buildings W1 and W2 were made with the intention of increasing and improving the shared residential facilities within the development, while the number of homes remains the same as the original planning permission.
W3, designed by Haptic Architects is set to be a leisure focussed building, featuring a gym, nursery and café. The three buildings will be accessed from York Way.
Designed by Jan Kattein Architects in close collaboration with educational charity Global Generation, the Habitat Zone is situated to the north of the three buildings and will include four small, single-storey educational buildings – a community kitchen, a classroom, an admin building and a growing tunnel. Central to the proposal for the Habitat Zone is a 1,097 sq m ecology garden, featuring a wildlife meadow, an orchard, fruit and vegetable planters, and a wildlife maze.
Building W1 is split into two blocks of 11 storeys and 16 storeys respectively, which will comprise 140 open market residential apartments with a single retail unit at street level, fronting York Way. Meanwhile, Building W2 is an eight storey mixed tenure building featuring 36 social rented apartments, 23 intermediate apartments and 19 open market apartments. It will also feature a retail element with three retail units fronting onto York Way.
The approval of Building W3 and the Habitat Zone sees the final part of the plot approved, and will deliver a brand new 1,500sq m building over three storeys. Designed to high environmental standards, it will feature solar panels, a green roof, and be built of sustainable materials using a Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) structure. By using responsibly sourced timber in both the structure and cladding, the design enhances the promotion of well-being that is at the heart of the development, as well as creating a tactile and sustainable building. The facade seeks to elegantly interact with its immediate surroundings, creating spaces that encourage social interactions across different areas in the building.
Speaking about the submission, Jamie Smith, Project Director at KCCLP commented:
"We are thrilled that the entirety of W Zone now has the go ahead and we are excited for works to start on the site next year. More than 10 years on from the start of construction works, we are proud to have finalised the detailed design of one of the final pieces of the King's Cross puzzle."
David Morley from David Morley Architects commented:
"This is the only site at King's Cross straddling the boundary between Camden and Islington and we are delighted that our masterplan for bringing together a new mixed-use community, focussed around a garden, will soon be realised. As well as connecting east to west, the project will transform the streetscape of York Way and create a new gateway to King's Cross for people arriving from the north."
George Wilson, Associate from Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios commented:
"King's Cross W Zone presents a fantastic opportunity to establish a new residential community centred around high quality public space, communal amenities and community facilities, creating a unique place to live within central London. We are delighted that W Zone has been fully approved and can now be realised."
Timo Haedrich RIBA, Director at Haptic Architects commented:
"We are very proud that this exciting project has been given the go ahead. The building will provide a meaningful community centre, a place for people to learn, exercise and socialise.
"The openness and transparency of the ground floor; its concertinaing wall, movable screens and integrated seats create a seamless flow between the building and the adjacent public realm. The focus is to achieve the highest degree of sustainability. Timber is used in both the structure and façade, a material which has intrinsic tactile and pleasant qualities, fitting for a community hub."
Jan Kattein from Jan Kattein Architects commented:
"Proposals for the Habitat Zone were conceived in close collaboration with educational charity Global Generation who operates a number of public gardens across London. The buildings are designed to minimize the threshold between ecology and interior. Urban ecologies are some of the most interesting habitats on our planet and it is fantastic news that our project will be able to bring a little piece of wilderness to people's doorstep."
The W Zone is set to complete in 2022, and operators for the Habitat Zone and leisure facilities will be announced in the due course.


John Travolta's upcoming movie about the notorious Gotti family has been put on hold due to financial issues, according to a report.
The Hollywood actor is due to star as late Mafia boss John Gotti, who died in prison in 2002, in upcoming movie Gotti: In the Shadow of My Father, alongside his real-life wife Kelly Preston and Al Pacino.
Filming is slated to begin in January ahead of a 2012 release date, but a new report suggests production has been put on hold. Showbiz411.com reports work on the project has come to a halt and won't resume until more financing is secured.
The film's producers are also facing a legal battle with Goodfellas star Joe Pesci, who is suing bosses at Fiore Films over allegations he was offered a $3 million deal to play Angelo Ruggiero, an associate of Gotti, but was later told he would be given a smaller part.

Largest Listed Saudi Real Estate Developer Launches International Business from Dubai
December 12, 2017	| Real Estate | Share:
DUBAI, UAE and FLORENCE, Italy, December 12, 2017/PRNewswire/ —
Construction on Dar Al Arkan's AED 800 Million Skyscraper on Dubai Canal to Start in Early 2018, with Signature Interiors by Roberto Cavalli
Dar Al Arkan, the largest listed real estate developer in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, announced today its plans to expand to global markets, selecting Dubai as the launchpad for its international business, with an AED 800 million development on the Dubai Water Canal in the Business Bay area.

The company has partnered with luxury brand, Roberto Cavalli, to design the interiors of the lavish 34-storey waterfront skyscraper, located in one of the world's greatest urban transformations, in true Italian fashion. Rightly named "I Love Florence", the new luxury tower will offer its residents an immersive living experience that combines the sophistication of fascinating Florence with the famed luxury of dazzling Dubai.
A ceremony was organised in Dubai to launch Dar Al Arkan's (DAAR's) international expansion and its high profile partnership with Italy's topmost luxury fashion brand. The event was attended by Yousef Bin Abdullah Al Shelash, Chairman of Dar Al Arkan, Gian Giacomo Ferraris, CEO of Roberto Cavalli Group, who flew in especially for the occasion, in addition to a number of government officials, diplomats, dignitaries and investors.
Yousef Bin Abdullah Al Shelash declared at the ceremony: "Dar Al Arkan, since its establishment in 1994, has been offering Saudi investors unique investment opportunities that enhance and protect their wealth and preserve it for the next generation. Our solid track record in delivering 15,000 residential units and 500,000 metres of commercial space in Saudi Arabia for over 23 years will support our global expansion, which aims at presenting further diversification to our existing investors, as well as attracting international investors to our investment portfolio."
Towering over the 3.2 kilometres man-made waterway, the high-rise will combine stunning views of the canal's vibrant outdoor and night scenes, with the elegance of the Florence's Arno riverside, reflected in the interiors sketched by one of Italy's most famed design houses. This is the first time ever that the iconic "Roberto Cavalli" fashion brand lends its name to a real estate development, anywhere in the world, to present rich interiors that project bespoke living and are an embodiment of all the strength and glamour of the maison "Roberto Cavalli" lifestyle, delivering energy, prestige, emotion, success, and desire to experience.
Gian Giacomo Ferraris commented: "We are excited to be entering for the first time as a group to the real estate sector with the Roberto Cavalli brand, and we believe that the developer couldn't have chosen a more suitable location for this project in the Middle East, where Roberto Cavalli enjoys a strong following. Dubai has carved its position as the house of fashion and design in the region. I see a strong correlation between Florence and Dubai, with both cities projecting elegance, art and design in everything they do, each in its own way. The new tower will embody Roberto Cavalli's passion for beauty, design and his celebration of Italian craftsmanship. It will encapsulate the high-end luxury our fashion house has been famed for."
The "I Love Florence" Tower, which will have unique views of the Dubai Canal, will feature for the first time in Dubai New York style homes, with elevators opening directly into the apartments, providing utmost privacy. Units will be available in one, two, three and four bedroom penthouses.
Abdullah El Shelash concluded: "When we set out to draw our vision to become leaders in global real estate development, we decided to only settle for the best, hence our choice of Dubai Canal as a location, and the epitome of Italian luxury, Roberto Cavalli, to conceptualise and create truly outstanding living spaces, not only in the residential units, but across the tower's amenities, including the lobbies, gym, swimming pool, yoga area, outdoor training area, and hallways."
The tower architecture has been designed by VX Experts. DAAR has also appointed La Casa Engineering Consultants. Construction will start in January 2018.

3 Reasons why Damian Lillard's game-winning shot over OKC is pointless
By: Seth Hatcher NBA Wed, 24 Apr 2019
Related Tags: The Oklahoma City Thunder Damian Lillard
Damian Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers have defeated the OKC Thunder in just five games, and the hype train is gaining speed. Before you Blazers fans get your hopes up too high, we want to run through three quick reasons as to why this buzzer-beater might not be as significant as Portland fans think it is.
History tells us this…
As Damian Lillard's game-winning shot went in against OKC on Tuesday night, many spectators felt a feeling of familiarity. It's like Lillard had done this before… and that is because he has. In 2014, Lillard hit a similar shot to knock the Rockets out of the playoffs. Much like this year, the hype was beginning to build around Portland.
In 2014, the Blazers and their momentum went on to matchup with the San Antonio Spurs, and would end up losing the series to San Antonio in five games. In fact, Damian Lillard has never reached the conference finals in his career. Up next for the Blazers will likely be the Denver Nuggets, a much more dynamic test that the OKC Thunder. We will have to see if this is the year that the Blazers are able to defy history.
Wild Western Conference
Portland is a good team with one superstar and a cast of good roles players. If Lilliard can give Portland 30+ points each night, then they will be in some games; But if he doesn't show out, this Blazers team will have some issues. The problem for Portland is that unlike the playoffs in the East, there is simply no time for "off" games, especially deeper in the playoffs. It will take some big performances from other players not named Damian Lillard if the Blazers are going to make a significant run in this year's playoffs.
Focus is too small in Portland
As the dust settles in what was an exciting five game series between Portland and OKC, it is clear to see how much Portland put into this series. Damian Lillard and the team celebrated their Game 5 win in the first round of the playoffs like they had put themselves in position to win a title. Blazers coach Terry Stotts looked a relieved man in his postgame press conference. Slotts even took time to poke fun at Thunder guard Russell Westbrook, as he copied Westbrook's responses to questions word for word in some cases. The celebratory mood was one that is not indicative of a team who has only reached the second round of the playoffs. Unfortunately for Blazer fans, it seems as if the focus in Portland is not down the road in the playoffs, but instead on success in the first round. Contending teams like the Bucks and Raptors took care of business like a team who are looking towards bigger and better, while Portland looked like they had reached their season climax.

Q: How should I "dockerize" my web server? I have a server that runs several web services like Nextcloud, phpBB or Ampache together with Postfix, Dovecot, Bind and many others. This is for friends and family so no more than 10 simultaneous users.
I want to "dockerize" everything so that it will be easier to manage and scale up (and also just to learn Docker).
The thing is, I don't like the idea of having multiple instances of Apache for each web services whereas before I had just one with virtual hosts. Is there a more efficient way of doing that?

Instances of SCP-1498 in containment.
Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-1498 are to be held in standard containment chambers, located within Site-77. One technician is to be on-hand to answer any calls placed to SCP-1498. Transcripts of all calls must be placed in Site-77's non-anomalous records archive. Any persons found to have interacted with SCP-1498 are to be quarantined for 2 months, or until they show signs of SCP-1498. Subjects showing signs of exposure are to be contained as an instance of SCP-1498-1, which require the same accommodation as instances of SCP-1498.
Description: SCP-1498 is a collection of 30 autonomous bundles of phone cords and handsets, assembled in such a way that they resemble sheep. Instances of SCP-1498 are fully ambulatory, and will wander their containment chambers aimlessly. The words "Make your own Custom dreamscapes, with your friends at The Oneiroi Collective."1 are printed on each instance.
If a sapient organism attempts to use one of the phone handsets present on SCP-1498, they will hear three rings, followed by a voice identifying themselves as an operator for the "The Oneiroi Collective". This voice will instruct the subject on various options they have for dreaming, and make suggestions for enhanced dreaming experiences. Following the completion of this call, the subject will lose consciousness for 9 hours.
When the subject regains consciousness, they will claim to have experienced the dream they ordered, to any exact specifications they may have made. Subjects may express a desire to continue using SCP-1498's effect, or attempt to re-use it immediately. A transcript of a subject describing their experience while under SCP-1498's effect has been included in this report.
I was sitting in this room, except it wasn't really a room, because the edges were sloped, so it was like, an egg room. With green paper, but it wasn't that green. Just a little green here and there. Anyways, I'm right in the middle, sitting on the ground… 'cept of course, the fact that I was being supported. It's then I realize that I'm actually a table. Like you guys told me to tell the weird sheep-phone-thing. There're people eating off'a me too, look old, maybe from the 1950's, with red faces.
That was when we finally hatched, and I woke up.
Subjects coughing up telephones, with cords extending into their esophagus.
Telephone wires beginning to grow in place of hair.
Ringing devices found on rotary telephones found within the subject's ears, which may begin ringing continuously.
Vocalizations being replaced with dial tones.
Eventually, a rotary phone will assemble itself on the subject's head, out of all the components that have been grown within and on their bodies. Subjects will display the same intelligence as instances of SCP-1498, and are to be classified as instances of SCP-1498-1. As of 8/19/2012, no attempt to restore the intelligence of an SCP-1498-1 instance has succeeded.
SCP-1498 was recovered on 9/18/1965, from an abandoned office complex in Miami, FL, USA, after reports of bizarre livestock reached local Foundation assets. When Foundation agents entered the building, they discovered the SCP-1498 instances, one bedroll, approximately half a ton of rotary telephone components, and two pints of Type-AB blood in a glass jar. In addition, one pajama onesie, well worn, was discovered folded at the bedroll. Testing has shown several months worth of sweat and body oils soaked into the fabric.
As of 11/14/1965, SCP-1498 has been classified as Euclid.
