My wife and I renewed our vows in Sonoma Valley, at a local inn. We didn't want anything too formal, but did want a ceremony to remember. What an amazing officiant. Made the day spectacular. Thank you so much!!!
Richard was an amazing officiant for my wedding on 11/11/18. He created a very personal and heart warming service. Our families thought he was a close family friend the way he delivered personal anecdotes of our relationship. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant. He's professional, caring, responsive and his dedication to his work is beyond evident. Thank you again, Richard. You are fantastic at what you do!
Can't say enough! Absolutely wonderful!
While planning a destination wedding we were worried about being able to find an officiant and be able to connect with them so that they could know us on a more personal level and be able to make our ceremony special to us. We hit the jackpot with Richard Meyer! Richard was very responsive and easy to communicate with via phone and email. His ceremony left all of our guests buzzing. The two questions that we have heard most is, "How did you meet your officiant?!" and "How long has he known you?." Everyone has been shocked to find out we only had met with once in person and a couple phone calls prior to the wedding. Our guests were sure that he was a direct relative or friend of the family. He had a way of tapping into the our journey and making our day unique to us. Richard has a soothing presence and made sure we were calm and present in the moment for our ceremony. He talked us through every step and made the process simple. I can't say enough good things about Richard!!

Q: How do I monitor and limit the number of QueueBackgroundWorkItem threads in ASP.net? I have an ASP.Net application acting as an interface between systems which tend to send data in bursts via multiple requests and I would like to kick off a background task to perform some processing but would really like to only have one single background task do it. I can use HostingEnvironment.QueueBackgroundWorkItem but that will indiscriminately launch a thread for each incoming request which is a problem.
When I launch a background process I want it to queue up the work it has (in the connected database) and then check if there is another background process running. If there is then it should finish because the other process will process the queued work. If there is no other background process running then I want it to start processing the queued work until there is no more to do and then it will stop.
The process is not a heavy task or long running task but the main constraint is that everything is processed in a strict order making parallel threading risky. In a single process it's easy to ensure everything gets processed in order.
How do I achieve this without shifting to an external service?

A: Seems like a classic producer consumer scenario. Create a BlockingCollection that producers enqueue to. Create one permanent LongRunning Task that drains that collection.
You can drain in batches if you want.
This would not work with QueueBackgroundWorkItem because the you need to eventually exit the work that you put into QueueBackgroundWorkItem so that the worker process can shutdown gracefully.

Home Entertainment Henry Cavill (The Witcher), Willing To Star In A Possible Mass Effect...
Henry Cavill (The Witcher), Willing To Star In A Possible Mass Effect Series
Henry Cavill: The agreement between Amazon Studios and Electronic Arts is close, according to Deadline, although at the moment it has not been officially announced. From medieval worlds like The Tudors or The Witcher to the science fiction of Mass Effect. Henry Cavill, famous in recent years for his roles as Superman or Geralt of Rivia, does not close the door to appear in a hypothetical series based on BioWare's work. And we say hypothetical because to this day there is still nothing confirmed, but in Deadline they point out that the agreement between Electronic Arts and Amazon Studios is not too far away.
GamesRadar has asked Cavill if he would like to star in the Mass Effect series, to which the actor has answered the following: "The truth is that yes, depending on how they execute it. The world of adaptations can be heavy or light. When I like a product I prefer that the adaptation is not very different from the source, so it depends ". The protagonist of The Witcher has indicated that if the project finds a house, he would like to start conversations.
On the games themselves, he admits that he has not played the most recent main installment due to lack of time, but it turns out that he is a fan: "I have not played Andromeda, I have, but I have been very busy. But [the Mass Effect trilogy?]. Yes, I loved it, brilliant titles. You could make great television series or movies ".
Amazon will invest in fantasy and science fiction
The only thing that is known about a possible series based on Mass Effect is what Deadline published. Jennifer Salke, the head of Amazon's division, confirmed to this media that after the success of The Wheel of Time they plan to invest more money in fantasy and science fiction products. Star Trek: Picard and The Expanse, two of the great series of the genre, are part of the platform's catalog.
Henry Cavill, for his part, posted an image on his Instagram account earlier this year that fueled rumors about the Mass Effect project. The fans saw some references to the BioWare galactic saga and it is not for hands: in the script that he had in his hands there were words like Cerberus or Geth, all of them related to the game.

Jamie Foxx to be Mike Tyson in new drama


LONDON – Specialist Musical Instrument Auctioneers Ingles & Hayday announced they will be selling a violin after the 'Lafont' Guarneri of 1736 to benefit charity Luthiers Sans Frontières, in their auction on Tuesday, May 13, 2014 at 2pm at Sotheby's, New Bond Street, London, W1A 2AA. Made in 2012 at the J&A Beare Workshop and labelled Made in the workshop of J&A Beare Ltd. by Warren Bailey, Gordon Kerr, Mark Robinson and Elaine Spicer, it is estimated to fetch £3,000-5,000.
Warren Bailey, Gordon Kerr, Mark Robinson & Elaine Spicer all generously committed their time and skill to making this violin for the benefit of Luthiers Sans Frontières, with wood kindly donated by Peter Beare. Founded in 2001 in Belgium, Luthiers Sans Frontières provides training in the repair and maintenance of instruments of the violin family in countries where these services are scarce*. All proceeds from the sale of this violin will go directly towards the work of the charity and in recognition of their important work, Ingles & Hayday will donate back to the charity all commission and buyer's premium earned on this lot.
Also included in the sale, which comprises in the region of 180 violins, violas, cellos and bows with estimates ranging from £800 upwards is a cello by Milanese makers Giovanni & Francesco Grancino, which is estimated at £140,000-180,000. Circa 1680, the cello is labelled Giouanni Grancino in Contrada Largha di Milano al Segno della Corona 1667. A violin by Nicolo Gagliano (fl Naples, c1730-c1785) dating from circa 1740 and labelled Nicolaii Gagliano Fecit in Napoli Anno 1732 is estimated at £80,000-£120,000. It is sold with the certificate of Emil Herrmann, Berlin, dated 12th September 1935.
The sale also includes two fine examples of 18th century Venetian violin making. Venice was at that time the second most important violin making town in Italy, after Cremona. Indeed, in 1717, Pietro Guarneri, the youngest of the Guarneri dynasty of violin makers, left Cremona and moved to Venice, a bustling musical and artistic town, where making a living as a violin maker was no doubt easier than in Cremona, where the Stradivari workshop was dominant. The three most important makers in Venice between 1720 and 1750 were Pietro Guarneri, Carlo Tononi and Santo Serafin. Both are renowned for the accuracy of their workmanship and the beauty of the wood they used.
An example by Santo Serafin (b Udine, 1699; d Venice 1776), dating from 1743, carries an estimate of £200,000-£300,000. It is labelled Sanctus Seraphin Utinensis, fecit Venetijs Ann. 1743 and bearing the maker's brand Santo Serafin on the bottom rib by the end pin.
A violin by Carlo Tononi (b Bologna, 1675; d Venice, 1730) is expected to fetch £150,000- £200,000. Branded Carlo Tononi on the back below the button, it is sold with the certificate of J. & A. Beare, London, dated 12th January 2011.
*Luthiers Sans Frontières recognises the important role of music and practical skills in fostering social development and improving the life chances of young people, especially in countries where there is political or economic difficulty. Since 2008, LSF UK has undertaken six missions in Haiti, Ecuador, Afghanistan and Uganda. LSF UK operates on a totally voluntary basis and is financed through fundraising and donations.

Mohlabi Kenneth Tsekoa (M.Ed. 1981)
Since completing my Master's degree at CIE, I have been exploring a forest of challenges and inspirations. In brief, here is some of what I have been up to:
When I returned to Lesotho, I was took up the post of Director of the Lesotho Distance Teaching Centre. With a team of about 50, led, managed and ensured the provision of NFE and basic education for youth and adults. Then, I graduated (reluctantly) to a position of Deputy Principal Secretary, Ministry of Education where I eventually became Principal Secretary.
After serving seven busy/hectic years with the MoE, I was posted to London, United Kingdom, where I served as Lesotho's High Commissioner/Ambassador, simultaneously accredited to Cyprus, Ireland, Malta, Portugal and Spain. I was hardly six months in London when His Majesty, the late King Moshoeshoe II was exiled to England by the then Military Government (His Majesty's Government) in March 1990. He was deposed in exile but ultimately returned to Lesotho in 1992 to be re-instated as King by a democratically-elected government in 1993.
Returning home in December, 1995 I became Head of Lesotho's Civil Service (a position labeled Government Secretary) until 2001. To say the least, this was one of the most challenging, exhilarating and fulfilling experiences of my life. Leading and managing the affairs of the Civil Service - planning, coordinating, mentoring, evaluating, advising, managing crises (the 1998 attempted violent removal of a legitimate Government) and others - was painful fun!
From 2001 up to now I have traveled a whirlwind trip becoming Senator and Minister of Finance for one year. Going into general elections in 2002, winning overwhelmingly and appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs for two and a half years! I then was appointed Minister of Education until the February 2007 general elections. Of course, my return to education following my "prodigal son" ways was satisfaction itself. However, I am now the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Relations (he served as Minister from 2007-2015), forging bilateral and multilateral partnerships, sniffing development assistance opportunities, living diplomacy, negotiating conflict, etc.
All in all, CIE/UMASS set me onto a road to appreciating the value of negotiation skills, innovation, leading, working with people, managing conflicts, listening, challenging, inspiring others, and paying attention to the basic needs of the rural poor. [6-08]

He's Gone! Superstar MSP Jamison West Exits
SMB Nation Admin
Business Speak Harry's Corner
In this era of click bait headlines, this one is true both geographically and business-wise. Long time SMB Nation member Jamison West is undergoing a life reset. He has recently completed the transition from his MSP practice (which was acquired by Aldridge just over a year ago that I wrote about HERE.)
West and family looked in the mirror and decided time in the sun would be the right next move. As I write this, Jamison is moving to Summerlin, NV from drippy Seattle so that they can be near his wife's extended family and the children can settle into new schools. Jamison has new professional plans in the works that we'll report on in coming weeks. All good.
Now the good stuff
Steve Banks' venerable Puget Sound Small Business Server (PSSBS) group that still meets on every third Thursday night hosted a going away party for West. In a wide ranging free flowing community conversation, West shared his view of the world with reality-based real facts. He should know. He's been there and done that over 20+ years as an MSP in Seattle.
Future Speak
West made forward looking statements along the lines of "If I was starting out today…" that focused on the three things you can do in 2017 as an MSP. It dovetailed into our "start over" editorial theme we've been preaching from the pulpit to the pews for a few years. West specifically shared these three pillars to focus on.
Year of the Cloud Directory Services. With Active Directory (AD) dying (if not dead), the opportunity is to master single sign on and encryption. This was presented in the context of Azure, which is another editorial "beat" at SMB Nation this year.
Voice – Skype for Business. West presented and defended his thesis that this is the year of Skype. I confronted West on these assertions as I've had mixed Skype experiences over the years and continue my long journey towards acceptance. But West laid out some compelling customer evidence from the real world to support his beliefs.
Dynamics 365. This conversation was one for "get ahead of the curve" as Microsoft is consolidating its CRM, ERP and accounting portfolio to be an online service that will be a game changer, even in SMB. The audience had a range of opinions on the future of Great Plains Dynamics perhaps being slated for an end-of-life motion in favor of NAV. In a future blog, I'll show how innovative ISVs such as Versium are creating predictive analytics snap-ins for Dynamics 365 but that is for another day.
MSP M&A
West shared his wisdom on both organic and strategic growth – he's done both. His M&A journey, both the good and the bad, was shared openly in the spirit of transparency. Takeaways? Focus on understanding the Guaranteed and Not Guaranteed elements of a merger and acquisition scenario.
My Advice?
Consider reaching out to Jamison West via LinkedIn here and arrange for him as a speaker at your next event. It's a wise investment to tap into Jamison's wisdom.

Skype for Business Book from Two O365 Nation Alums!
For those of you looking to start-over with Office 365, there is good news. Two independent Microsoft consultants from opposite ends of the planet came together to write the most comprehensive end user guide on Skype for Business.
Robert Crane and Greg Plum collaborated on the document, which morphed into over 200 pages of screen shots and step-by-step commentary, aimed at the segment of the market who needed it the most… the end user! They have announced the release of Getting Started with Skype for Business Online.
Robert is the principal of CIAOPS, located in Australia. He is a recognized author, speaker, and Office 365 expert. Greg is the principal of PlumUC, a unified communications practice in Newark, DE, with a focus on collaboration services and voice options for Skype for Business.
Robert and Greg first met in 2014 at Harry's first O365 Nation Conference at the Microsoft campus in Redmond. Fast-forward 12 months and add the rebranding of Lync to Skype for Business, creating the impetus for this project.
'We are excited to offer a complete recipe for success for Skype for Business, one of the industry's hottest communication services," explains Greg Plum. "Robert is a tenured author, who provided the guidance needed for my freshman writing endeavor."
Greg and Robert have already enjoyed some early success with book sales. In addition to direct sales, Velis4, a Pennsylvania-based UC company providing PSTN voice-enablement of Office 365 and Skype for Business, gives a hardcopy of Getting Started for Skype for Business Online to every new Skype for Business customer.

Q: mysqldump generating an empty file Im trying to use mysqldump like below:
mysqldump -hlocalhost -uadmin -padmin shop> D:\b2\shop3.sql

When i execute it in command prompt, the file shop3 is generated with all the tables from the shop database.
But, when I use it in my php file like below, it generates an empty file.
$cmd = 'mysqldump -hlocalhost -uadmin -padmin shop > D:\b2\shop3.sql';
        system($cmd);

Can anyone help me find my error please?
Thanks

A: mysqldump may not be in the path, so try putting in an absolute C:\....\mysqldump in there. As well, add in a $return_val var to the call, so you can retrieve the exit value of the command.

PHOTOS: Low Mississippi River levels send boats ashore in Memphis
by: Shay Arthur
MEMPHIS, Tenn.– Beached boats are sitting in the mud of the mighty Mississippi in Memphis, and it's a pretty wild sight to see.
photos by Adam Itayem, WREG
NOAA forecasts that the Mississippi River in Memphis is expected to reach -10.8 feet by November 1, which would surpass Monday's record low.
Mississippi River reaches record low level in Memphis
To compare how low the water is now, let's take a look at how a boats on the river at Mud Island looked on Tuesday afternoon versus October 1.

It's a mess Joe Weiss, General Manager of the Mud Island Marina, now deals with as the Mississippi River level plummets.
He's not the only one.
A few miles south at Riverside Park Marina, the damage is so bad it almost looks like a storm came through. The low levels are causing concern for those up and down the river that's crucial to the economy.
Low river levels prove costly for MS farmers
Those with boats now sitting in the sand and mud are wondering what they can do.
"A lot of them ask if it's going to bend their shafts, how do I get it out? Wait for water," Weiss said.
There's also concern about if the boat will continue to stick to the mud when the water comes.
"It's gonna sink. We have a couple things we try to do, we have some lifts and some wenches we'll try to pull it out and help it up but ultimately it has to come off the bottom," Weiss said.

Mario Howard, who watches the river from his back porch every day, is still in disbelief by what he's seeing. Now, just like so many others, he hopes for rain in northern states to hopefully make an impact down here.
"Hopefully, some snow to start melting, something to happen to get that river back to where it needs to be at," Howard said.
A silver lining is they've been able to clean up all the trash they find at the bottom of the river.

Historic Map - Sanford, ME - 1889
1W-ME-SA-1889-S-P
View of Sanford, Maine, 1889, Published by George E. Norris.
First settled in 1739, following the French and Indian Wars, the town of Sanford was incorporated in 1768, named for Peleg Sanford, the son of Major William Phillips, who purchased land that included the region from the Abenaki tribe in 1661. Sanford's situation on the Mousam River provided abundant water power, allowing the town to develop as an important textile center following the Civil War. The first mill to be built in Sanford was a sawmill built by Captain Market Morrison in 1745.
The Goodall Mills were established at Sanford in 1867 by British born Thomas Goodall. T. Goodall's house is referenced on the map, as are numerous Sanford Mills. The map captures the town as it appeared in its days of rapid growth, with the population swelling from 2,700 in 1880 to over 9,000 by 1910.

Sydney FC have kept their hopes of defending the championship alive through a solid 2-0 win over Perth Glory on Saturday evening at nib Stadium.
Sydney FC have maintained their late season charge, keeping their slip hopes of defending the Hyundai A-League championship alive through a solid 2-0 win over Perth Glory on Saturday evening at nib Stadium.
In oppressive, hot and humid conditions, the Sky Blues proved too good for a lethargic Glory side that at times appeared to be going through the motions as a disappointing season that once promised so much, draws to a close.
Sydney, though, still has it all to play for as goals to Nicky Carle, his first since transferring from Crystal Palace, and Bruno Cazarine either side of the break gave them a comfortable win.
The result still sees Sydney sitting in ninth on the league table, but they now have 29 points and are just four points adrift of sixth-placed Melbourne Heart with three games remaining for the Sky Blues and just two for Heart.
In what should set up a thrilling finish to the regular season, Sydney, unbeaten in 2011 so far, play the three teams they are competing against for a finals' position in Wellington, Newcastle and Heart in their last three matches.
"We know our situation," said coach Vitezslav Lavicka. "It is not easy in this moment for us, but mathematically we still we have a chance to reach finals."
"So we still have a motivation, we know that we have tough games away but if we keep this effort, this unity and hard work I think still there's a chance."
His opposite number, Glory interim coach Ian Ferguson, was a study in contrasts.
"I think since I've been here that's probably the worst I've seen us play in a long time," Ferguson declared.
"Look the club's in transition. We've probably dismantled again what we built up 12 weeks ago and we're back to where we were."
In conditions more akin to Singapore than Perth, both sides took to the field in 30-degree heat and a draining 95 per cent humidity as the Western Australian capital braces for Cyclone Bianca's arrival on Sunday.
The Glory had to brace themselves for a Sydney assault in the opening minutes as the visitors created a series of corners, Carle issuing an ominous warning in the sixth when he nodded over the bar from Scott Jamieson's delivery.
The Sky Blues didn't have to wait long to take the lead, however, the opener coming just three minutes later and showing off some sublime passing between Carle and Cazarine.
As Sydney worked their way forward along the left flank, Carle was left unmarked in the middle of the park 40 metres from goal as he received the ball from Jamieson.
Darting forward, Carle and Cazarine produced two one-twos in succession. But the second time Cazarine took the ball, he brilliantly volleyed it up for Carle to nod into the back of the net, his header looping over Tando Velaphi, who'd come marginally off his line.
Perth returned fire through off-target efforts by Jacob Burns and Adriano Pellegrino, although these were little more than half-chances.
Sydney were still enjoying the better chances and in the 28th minute it took a sensational defensive tackle from Josh Mitchell to deny Dimitri Petratos as he bore down on goal.
Perth's best chance came just after the half hour, when Naum Sekulovski lofted a well-weighted cross from the left to the far post, but an unmarked Scott Neville couldn't control his volleyed attempt.
Neville was in the action again six minutes later as he and Petratos challenged for the ball close to goal, the Sydney striker getting a shot away straight at Velaphi, although it appeared Neville had handballed in the area in the build-up.
The Sky Blues came out after the break full of vigour once again and in the 51st minute, central defender Matthew Jurman nodded wide from a Sung-Hwan Byun free kick.
But two minutes later the Sky Blues doubled the advantage. Sung-Hwan sent in a long ball over the defence to Petratos, whose intelligent flick on was converted by Cazarine, who slipped the ball in beneath Velaphi's dive.
The second goal seemed to spark the Glory, who had the better of the final half hour as Fowler fired wide through a crowded penalty area before Todd Howarth sent a longer attempt just over the bar.
In the 67th minute, Perth produced their best chance of the night when Pellegrino's through-ball beat the off-side trap and released Mile Sterjovski through on goal. But one-on-one with Necevski, Sterjovski sent an unconvincing shot wide of the upright instead of blasting home.

Double Flag is a flagship snare drum solo by Jeff Queen. In true Queen fashion, the piece calls for two snare drums—one with a Kevlar head and one with a Mylar head. Add to that recipe six thimbles for finger playing, an Evans X-treme Patch™ (recommended, but not required) for effects, and a healthy infusion of chops; the result is 3 minutes of straight-up Queen-tastic craziness!
Dedicated to fellow Tapspace artist Chip Webster, Queen explains how it was inspired by Webster's keen ability to produce clean-sounding rhythmic articulations with just the fingers…hence the thimble section at the beginning.
This is a very advanced solo for the player with high ambitions. Break yourself off a piece!

Alfred Dzirutwe
Incidents of disgruntled young people in Zimbabwe taking to the streets and demanding that the government provide them with jobs have been on an increase in the country as poverty levels continue to skyrocket at an alarming level.
This has been the case in the country's largest City, Bulawayo, which was once the biggest industrial hub and home to the minority Ndebele tribe in Matabeleland province. But the city is now a mere shadow of its former self, with most of the industries either shut down or relocated.
Alfred Dzirutwe, who is a founding member of the pressure group Bulawayo Youths Arise (BUYA), has been instrumental in mobilizing young people to stand up against tyranny and to demand job opportunities and the restoration of human rights in Matabeleland.
Among the activities he has helped initiate through BUYA include organizing peaceful protests demanding better service delivery in Bulawayo and calling for President Robert Mugabe's government either to address the economic crisis affecting the young people in the country or resign.
However, this hasn't been an easy task for Dzirutwe: He has been assaulted and arrested on several occasions while on the front line.
"I was beaten up and arrested by the police whilst leading an anti-government protest in August 2016 and charged with criminal nuisance," he said. "It is our duty as young people to stand up and demand the upliftment of our country as we are being affected by this economic crisis."
Other human rights defenders in Zimbabwe have been brutalized. One prominent figure, Itai Dzamara, led a campaign calling for President Robert Mugabe to step down; Dzamara was abducted in March 2015 by suspected state security agents. He has been missing ever since. Efforts by the courts compelling the government to find him have been fruitless.
Dzirutwe has vowed that, regardless of the risks, he won't be silenced and will continue to fight for the rights of the people in Bulawayo and Matabeleland.
"I will not be intimidated and will not be silenced. It is my duty together with other members from BUYA to challenge injustice and brutality in this country, and I won't stop," he said.


When Shaq left the Orlando Magic were Magic fans expecting that to happen, or did that come as a shock?
Do you bring this up because of LeBron?
Sort of in a way. It would just be tragic for a young star to leave the team he played with to go to a bigger market.
Didn't you just say it would be great yesterday because the big stars in the big markets would rejuvenate rivalries?
Why? LeBron is bigger than basketball. I think it'd be great if he went to NY.
After like the first year, the Cavs had to realize that oh ****, this dudes the real deal, he's really good. Not only that he's a media and endorsement magnet. if we don't get on our horse and surround him with talent he could bolt. I think from pretty early on people had to be thinking the Cavs couldn't hold LeBron forever.
For the league and ratings yes, but for a franchise who spent a lot of time barring the guy and being good to him to leave wouldn't be good for them.
Shaq was/would be a much bigger shock than James leaving Orlando. Shaq said he wanted to stay in Orlando a lot more than James has and the idea of Shaq leaving hasn't been floated around 3+ years before he could opt out of a contract.
Of course idiot Magic fans that blamed Shaq for the teams loss to the Bulls didn't help any, which is why it's kind of hard to feel sorry for Magic fans.
Yea Shaq wasn't hanging out w/ other owners and teams weren't trading and releasing players b/c they thought Shaq was staying. But on the other hand the Magic was an expansion team so Shaq staying their would've made them progress much faster as a franchise and h could've brung in a ring. I don't think LeBron can bring home a ring in Cleveland, or a NY team. But the bigger shocker was/is Shaq even though LeBron is the face of the NBA.
ON THE ACTUAL TOPIC: I wasn't a Magic fan but I was absolutely shocked. There was no indication at all that Shaq wanted out, no hint of the animosity you would hear later, with Shaq trashing the team and Penny Hardaway in particular.
Nba is Crazy, in soccer theres not even a Discussion, if you are top 5 Material everybody knows that sometime in your career you will play for Real Madrid, Barcelona, Milan, Juventus, Manchester or Bayern.
Tell me Reallistically how many top 10 all time players of the Nba stayed in a Small Market?
Most NBA teams are in large markets anyways.
I wasn't very old when this happened so i don't know. But i think we had offered him the max and he still turned it down, so as of now, i am pretty shocked.
They only ones on a top ten ever list are Tim Duncan as Alltime Pf and Malone as his reserve but as far as i remember Malone ended up in a yellow uniform.
If LeBron loved New York that much he wouldve left after his rookie deal was up. Im not guaranteeing he stays but Im not going to let anyone else guarantee he leaves either.
Imagine your work was a fun one in wich you had to drive cars and brag about the car you were driving.
You start your career on a Camaro , and you love your Camaro is nice and it runs fast enough to make you win some races.
Then your contract is up.
You are offered an amount of money to continue driving the Camaro.
But then Enzo Ferrari himselg goes and offers you just a Bit less money to do the same job driving a Ferrari.
No one is guaranting he is gone, in fact if Cavs get a good deal for Scerbizk and win this ring or the next he will STAY for SURE.
But as off now, the balance is a bit more inclined for Leaving that for staying.
Forgot all about Malone as a Laker for some reason.
What would be your top 10 list all time?
Magic - Drafted by the Lakers never changed teams.
Jordan - Drafted by the Bulls, went to a smaller market at the end of his career.
Bird - Drafted by the Celtics never changed teams.
Chamberlain - Drafted by the Philadelphia, moved with the team San Fran. Got traded and sent back to Philly. Demanded to be traded, got sent to the Lakers.
West - Drafted by LA, retired in LA.
Dr J - Signed with Virginia, traded to New Jersey for financial reasons, traded to Philadelphia for financial reason.
Kareem - The only one that really fits the comparison.
Yeah, but come to think of it, Magic, Jordan ( i will forget his mature mans crisis), Bird, West never needed to drop out because they were already drafted by some of the best teams ever with some of the biggest markets ever.
Chamberlain just made journys from big market to big market .
The Point is that great players, move at last ONCE in their careers unless they are lucky enough to have been drafted by one of the top Teams/Markets because then they have no need to bolt out ( of course it has happened every now and then like Barkley scaping Philadelphia).

Strengthening Education In Wyoming
Dropouts Get Second Chance At National Guard's Cowboy Challenge Academy
By Aaron Schrank • Jun 6, 2014
Credit Wyoming Cowboy ChalleNGe Academy
Nearly 1 in 5 Wyoming high school students drop out every year. Today, we take a look at a program that aims to find dropouts and get them back on track before it's too late. And as Aaron Schrank reports, it's run not by the state's Education Department, but it's Military Department.
SCHRANK: When Francisco Jovel dropped out of Pinedale High School last year, he was three years behind on class credits. He'd been in and out of the Wyoming Boys' School in Worland for breaking and entering and theft. He was running out of options.
FRANCISCO JOVEL: My probation officer and my DFS worker told me I worked better in disciplined situations and I knew if I went back to school, I would age out of school, so I decided to come here.
SCHRANK: 'Here' is the 'Wyoming Cowboy Challenge Academy' a National Guard program based at the Camp Guernsey Joint Training Center. If Jovel was looking for discipline, he found it. 'Cadet Jovel' is standing at attention, in full uniform, inside a military barrack-turned-math classroom. He says it hasn't been easy.
JOVEL: You learn to look at the end goal, and that's basically graduating and starting your new life.
SCHRANK: The 17-year-old is one of 60 cadets in this program. He's been here 5 months and will graduate in just days, but not with a standard degree. Like most here, he'll take the 'High School Equivalency Test,' similar to the G.E.D.
ED MEYER: I would love for every child to stay in high school and make it successfully through.
SCHRANK: Ed Meyer is Director here.
MEYER: But the reality is that we all have different talents, different skill sets. We all learn at different rates. And so, this program is an intervention, to try to get them—hey maybe you're just not cut out to finish high school, and maybe the diploma equivalent is a better choice for you.
SCHRANK: Meyer says it's mostly basics here.
MEYER: Math, English, science, social studies and government 101.
SCHRANK: And some classes not found at a typical school—like life-coping skills. Each classroom is the same—desks for about a dozen students and three computers in a corner for so-called 'credit recovery' cadets—like 16-year-old Alyssa Vasco. She's taking online courses for real high school credit, so she can return to Buffalo High School.
ALYSSA VASCO: 'Cause I want to finish what I started, of course. And I want to be in my class graduating with everybody that I know.
SCHRANK: Vasco says she came to Cowboy Challenge to get away from bad influences in her family and learn self-discipline. The toughest part of being here, she says, is dealing with other cadets.
VASCO: They don't know you and you don't know them. So you're clashing with the other people and you can't stand them half the time.
SCHRANK8: That's a lot of what these teenagers are here to work on—resolving conflict, handling disappointment, working with others. Director Meyer says the program's military-style approach helps them do that.
MEYER: 40 to 60 kids from all across the state, never met each other before, you bring them together, you start to strip away a little bit of their individuality. You put them all in the same clothes, you give them all the same haircut. You give them all the same beds and linens and towels, and they eat all the same food—and you start to build that team, and it's not just about me and I.
SCHRANK: The program is voluntary, not court-ordered. Probation officers, school administrators, even advertisements refer many new recruits. The marching, the protocol, the uniformity, it seems to be good for some of these kids—like Stanley Smith. At 17, he was drinking a lot, doing drugs, and dropped out of his high school in Lander. Then a former cadet told him about this place.
STANLEY SMITH: For me, it was coming to reality that I was going down the wrong path. And—I need to fix myself, or else I wasn't really going to make a name for myself in the real world.
SCHRANK: Smith is about to finish his stay here, and just passed his High School Equivalency Test. He plans to move to Utah to get a bachelor's degree, and he says he thinks he'll miss the structure here.
SMITH: Going back, not having a schedule, not having to be somewhere at a certain time. It's going to be hard for a little while.
SCHRANK: Most believe the program is working, but Meyer says enrollment isn't where it should be. He has room for twice as many kids as are here now.
Meyer says he's seen the state's dropout data—so he knows there's a need out there he can meet. But tracking down dropouts is harder than you'd think, even with recruiters, because student information is kept private.

SCHRANK: Of those who have found their way to the program—just in the past year—more than 90 percent are working, in school, or in the military—probably better off than they were before. For Wyoming Public Radio, I'm Aaron Schrank.

When four 8th graders at Wheatland Middle School were asked to put their heads together to solve a real problem in their community, they thought back to the biggest crisis in recent memory—the quarter-mile-wide twister that touched down near their town in 2012. Jacob Stafford, Joey Madsen, Haiden Moody and Christian Moody remember the day the tornado very hit well. And it made an impression them, because it was just miles from their school.

Roughly three years ago, two women undertook an effort to take a group of middle school girls in Jackson under their wing with the goal of helping them get into college. The effort is called College Bound Latinas and the program has had some early success. But a recent interaction with a University of Wyoming Professor is taking the girls even further as Wyoming Public Radio's Bob Beck reports.

After some legal wrangling, State Superintendent Cindy Hill is back in charge of Wyoming Education. As the school year wraps up, Superintendent Hill joins us to discuss a number of topics. The first deals with distance…or online education. She recently attended a graduation of students who graduated from a virtual school. Hill embraces various uses of technology in the classroom.

A: All four possibilities are fine. English speakers don't necessarily use the past perfect when the temporal relationships are clear without, and there is not a need to set a temporal focus.
I think 2 is slightly less likely than any of the others, because in the other cases at least one of the verbs set it in the past of the past; but even without that, no 2 is possible, especially if there is further context that makes it clear that that last time was before Matt's party.

A: The last time he had been to a party he had gotten so drunk  that he had been unable to walk home. Past perfect is used because that party took place before this party, which is yet to come . "He was excited" is set in the past ( past simple is used) and anything happening before that is in past perfect. I think "was" should be in past perfect too.

Since OSCI is able to control all signals with JMRI, we have been adding DCC signal controllers to replace the Integrated Signal Inc. signal controllers. The ISS controllers were difficult to wire program for some of out complicated turnout situations. With OSCI-JMRI all the signal logic is built in and extremely easy to program special situations. The entire signal system has now been converted(2015). Along the mainlines, we continue to add additional infra red train detection for improved dispatcher control. Development and installation by Jeff Rowe 2007-2015.

The emotions of possibly being deported back to Italy are really getting to Joe Giudice. As the 'RHONJ' star remains in the custody of ICE, the regret of committing tax fraud, which landed him in prison in the first place, is wearing on him.
Meanwhile, Joe's wife, Teresa, 46, is "making all her decisions based on the girls' best interest at heart, and not her own," the insider reveals. Teresa and Joe share four daughters — Gia, 18, Gabriella, 14, Milania, 13, and Audriana, 9. "Her job is to protect them. And, Joe also agrees it's best for the girls to stay in the states," if he is deported back to Italy.
Teresa previously made it clear, during the RHONJ reunion, that she will divorce Joe, should he get deported. Joe was released from a Pennsylvania prison and taken into ICE custody in March 2019. He initially began his prison sentence in March 2016.


She looks indeed so gorgeous, even in this simple grey jacket and black trousers. Love her hair and her skin is simply glowing.
She can be elegant, lady like, sweet, romantic, warm sophisticated. She always looks good.
I am glad she is wearing the more affordable brand of clothes.
How does Princess Madeleine manage to make everything look so elegant? She's one gorgeous woman!
Trousers are way too short.
Trousers are far too short and jacket totally ill fitting - and still she looks radiant and beautiful. Or is it because she looks radiant and beautiful it does not matter at all what she is wearing.
Sort of "what came first, the chicken or the egg?"
She's so happy to be expecting another child. Great fashion on the maternity wear.

oh man.. its really cool....its very hard to understand, how u done it?
wow. Bitseq, very nice. Appreciate the posts. hope you can share some hints on the process.
is this your reel ?
Hey bluehonda, was just reading the same thread on CGS and stooch has given you the perfect starting point.
Surface tension is the key to making this work, and the external pressure is definitely the next step to making this look more believable.
I don't believe its possible to do this with cloth simulation... would be more hassle than its worth.
I hope your getting somewhere with it, and like I said before it would be great to see any other methodsresults of simulations.
So I ended up cheating my bubble popping sim/effect. The Popping effect itself was just 5 frames long. and the rest was a few droplets flying around. so for those who want to know. I created a sphere and created an animated boolean. 1 sphere cutting away on another sphere. I applied a noise deformer to both my spheres for some wobbling action. to get some bubble like movement. Then i created a RF sim from the intersection of the 2 spheres. which is the edges of the Popping bubble- the holes edge. Then i just generated extra splash/droplets.

Doc. Ing. Mikuláš Lacek, CSc. (11. ledna 1927 v Banské Bystrici – 4. července 2008), byl vysokoškolským pedagogem a autorem odborných publikací v oblasti dopravy (zejména městské) a ekonomiky, v letech 1964–1987 byl ředitelem Dopravního podniku hl. m. Prahy.

Životopis
Vystudoval ekonomiku řízení a průmyslu na Vysoké škole ekonomické.

V letech 1955–1964 pracoval jako obchodně-ekonomický náměstek v národním podniku České loděnice Praha.

Činnost v DP
Funkci ředitele Dopravního podniku hl. m. Prahy zastával od 1. července 1964. S jeho nástupem začaly zásadní rekonstrukce tramvajových tratí i kabelové sítě. V letech 1971 a 1977 uskutečnil zásadní restrukturalizaci Dopravního podniku, přeměnu z polosamostatných závodů na koncern. Od roku 1971 do 14. ledna 1987 byl generálním ředitelem.

V době, kdy byl Mikuláš Lacek ředitelem Dopravního podniku hl. m. Prahy, došlo ke zrušení trolejbusové dopravy, zavádění metra a s tím spojené likvidaci tramvajových tratí v centru města. Rozšířila se též i autobusová doprava. Tehdejší ústup od elektrické trakce v povrchové dopravě byl později kritizován jako chyba.

Pedagogická činnost
Dlouhá léta (v 70. a 80. letech) působil na Vysoké škole ekonomické v Praze. V roce 1983 jej ministr školství jmenoval docentem pro obor ekonomika dopravy a spojů.

Kolem roku 2007 působil na Vysoké škole regionálního rozvoje v Liberci, kde vyučoval předmět "regionální veřejné vztahy"  a byl členem akademické rady.

A Pakistani judge has recused himself from hearing a petition filed against the conviction and sentencing of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, his daughter and son-in-law in the Avenfield properties corruption case.
Geo TV said, Lahore High Court's (LHC) Justice Shams Mehmood Mirza, who headed a three-member bench constituted by LHC Chief Justice on the 4th of this month to hear the petition, recused himself citing personal reasons.
On the 6th of last month, Sharif, Maryam and Capt (retd) Safdar were convicted for not disclosing details of the purchase of four posh apartments in London.
The three-time Pakistan premier is serving a 10-year jail term in a corruption case over his family's purchase of luxury apartments in London. He has been lodged in the Adiala Jail since the 13th of last month.


As much as we love our furry friends, that special bond sure is tested when your dog barks incessantly while you are trying to get some work done. Or worse still, in the middle of the night when you are trying to get a good night's sleep. That's where the ColPet No-Bark Collar comes in.
As irritated as we may be with their barking, we won't bear to lift a single finger on them. That's why this no bark collar disciplines your dogs in the most humane way possible. The collar adopts dual sensors to detect the dog's movement and sounds to avoid being activated upon external sounds, and uses sound, vibration and static shocks of different sensitivity levels to calm down dogs of different sizes.
So you can get on top of your dog's uncontrollable barking, without taking away its wide-eyed, happy spark.
Dogs of different sizes respond to stimulus of different intensities. Test which sensitivity level your dog best responds to from the lowest sensitivity gear 1, and move up the scale until the collar elicits a response from your dog.
The sound is set at its default setting. When the device indicates a 'o', the collar will only release sound.

ASIO Warning Ignored For Deal On Tamil Refugees
Paul Maley and Lanai Vasek
From: The Australian
THE Rudd government approved the transfer to Australia of four Tamil refugees deemed to be a security threat while they were in detention in Indonesia to honour Canberra's special resettlement deal with Jakarta.
The revelation came as Immigration Minister Chris Evans confirmed that a fifth Tamil asylum-seeker had been given an adverse ASIO security assessment.
Senator Evans said the adverse security assessments issued against four of the 78 Tamils who engaged in a four-week standoff on board the Oceanic Viking in October and November, including a woman, had been handed down while they were in detention in Tanjung Pinang.
The opposition demanded to know why the government agreed to accept people who ASIO had already rejected.
Senator Evans cited Australia's deal with Jakarta to resettle the Tamils within four to 12 weeks, provided they agreed to end their month-long standoff on the Australian Customs vessel.
"We thought, given the time frames agreed with the Indonesian government, that it was best that we take them to Christmas Island, detain them there and work on resolving their cases in the longer term there," Senator Evans said.
"There was an agreement with the Indonesian government about managing that caseload and we made it clear that we would take lead responsibility in those matters."
A spokesman for the minister, Simon Dowding, defended the government's decision not to publicly reveal ASIO's judgments before the four were transferred to Australia.
Mr Dowding said government spokespeople "were not authorised to disclose or confirm details about the people until after they had arrived at their destinations".
The opposition's acting immigration spokesman, Michael Keenan, said the arrangement was "almost impossible to believe".
Senator Evans defended the arrangements by saying the assessments proved the system had worked.
"Those people have been identified as being of security concern and therefore they've been refused visas and they're in detention," he said.
On Monday, The Australian revealed that four of the Tamil refugees had been issued adverse security assessments, making them ineligible for visas.
One of those was a woman who travelled to Australia with her two young children.
Senator Evans said a fifth Tamil – the woman's husband, who travelled to Australia by boat months earlier – had also been refused a visa on security grounds.
The minister said the family would be kept in "appropriate" detention arrangements, but that the children would not be kept behind razor wire.
The family would not be issued any type of visa.
"We're determined that these people be resettled elsewhere," Senator Evans said
Yesterday, sources close to the process said it could not be assumed the five represented a danger to the community.
During the Howard years, two Iraqi detainees, Mohammed Yussef Sagar and Muhammad Faisal, spent five years in detention after they were issued negative security assessments.
Mr Sagar was eventually accepted by Sweden and Mr Faisal was allowed into Australia after ASIO revised its assessment.
A spokeswoman for the Australian Tamil Congress, Sam Pari, said the information underpinning ASIO's rulings needed to be "seriously questioned".
"If the details are coming from the Sri Lankan government, well then that is of great concern, because they are who these people are fleeing from in the first place," Dr Pari said.

This month we tasted four wines based on the Cabernet Sauvignon grape. The first and last of the wines came from the Medoc area of Bordeaux in Old World France, the spiritual home of this grape. The New World is represented by the second wine from Australia and the third from Chile.
All the wines came from Majestic, with the prices being those for "mix 6" as nobody we've met ever wants to pay the significant premium for buying less than the threshold!
We really did not rate Les Sources De Livran, Château Livran, ABV 12.5% £9.99 2013 – two people even rated it a zero. Interestingly, on the Majestic website it does not seem popular either; it has a very low recommendation rate.
The next wine was the group's favourite of the evening. Parcel Series Cabernet Sauvignon, ABV 14% £9.99 2017 is a very black wine from Australia's Coonawarra. Unusually Majestic's website description of "voluptuous" even seems accurate for this one.
Silver Ghost Cabernet Sauvignon, ABV 12% £5.59 2018 from Chile was rather thin and did not rate so well – though it's not bad for the price, and for one person it was the best of the evening.
Our final wine was Chateau Tour Haut Caussan, ABV 13% £11.99 2007 was our favourite Old World wine of the evening, and the best of the evening for two people.
Overall, the New World wines won, even though they had the smaller budget, and price was no guide to popularity.
