How to prevent theft in the landscape industry
April 19, 2021 - By Seth Jones

When Mark Cohea started driving to work on a Monday morning last month, he had no idea of the wild ride he and his wife were about to go on.
The Coheas live in the mountains of North Carolina, so it's a winding hour and 45 minutes to get to LDC Groups in Lula, Ga. As they were driving, Cohea got a phone call informing him that a mini excavator was stolen from a job site over the weekend. And, as fate would have it, and the Reveal app from Verizon Connect would reveal, the excavator was on the move and not far from his location.
"My wife was looking at the GPS on my phone to see where they were," Cohea says. "We're in the north Georgia mountains at this point, and I had her call 911. We're letting the police know, 'Now they're going down this road. Now they're going down that road.' I was heading their direction when I saw the mini ex crest over the top of a hill and the blue lights behind it. I was like, 'Oh my God, they turned around — they're coming back this way!'"
Cohea pulled into a church parking lot to let the action come toward him. The rental truck pulling the mini ex was refusing to pull over. A police SUV whipped in front of the truck to force the thieves to stop.
"It was slower than O.J. (Simpson). Man, it was hilarious," Cohea says, laughing. "Of course, I missed the (record) button on my (phone) video. They had guns pulled and everything."
In broad daylight
Jon Kurkowski, owner of Proformance Turf in Denver, N.C., has lost count of how many times he's had equipment stolen off his truck in the 35 years he's been in the business. He remembers one day that stood out, when he was cleaned out in broad daylight.
"I was working a fleet of 12-15 McDonald's locations, and I pulled my truck and trailer across from the drive-thru menu board," he says. "They took everything they could carry, and this was at 12:30 in the afternoon! There is literally no busier place in Charlotte at noon than the drive-thru at a fast-food restaurant. (Theft) is a profession now; it doesn't just happen after midnight."
Proformance Turf provides lawn care and irrigation repair services to the Lake Norman region of North Carolina. Kurkowski uses GPS trackers from Amcrest on his more expensive equipment, like his Z-Spray spreader-sprayer or his stand-on mower. He likes that he can move them from machine to machine and that they're small, about the size of a pager or a stack of business cards.
"You put the app on your phone and track it — it's worldwide, man," he says. "There's a small service fee that is automatically charged each month. It's never failed me. You can hide it on the machine, and it has a weatherproof box, like an OtterBox for a cellphone. If they disconnect it, it still has a battery life that lasts 30 days."
Tony Nicoletti, vice president of California-based DPL Telematics, says an advancement that is new to the last 10 years is what Kurkowski describes: a simple self-contained tracking unit that doesn't need to be hardwired into the machine. Nicoletti suggests that these simple trackers are a good way to take a first step into asset tracking.
"I tell people to start out as simple as possible," Nicoletti says. "A lot of people are seduced by more data, but what are you going to do with it? Get some batteries at the 7-11, put them in, screw it shut and slap it on whatever you want to track."
Kurkowski says these small units help him sleep better at night, but nothing remedies the sick feeling he gets whenever he's pulled up to his shop, and the garage door is broken in. He stresses he doesn't live in a bad area — NASCAR driver Kyle Busch lives not far from him. Theft happens even in the wealthy areas, he says.
"Most thieves are smarter than you think," he says. "The only way you can really protect yourself is with solid insurance."

Raylynn's Story
Shondra & Jalia's Story
RAYLYNN
Raylynn was born premature, drug positive, with heavy symptoms of withdrawal. She was released from the hospital directly into a foster home, where she continued to require extensive medical treatment.
Our volunteer recounts, "I worked on Raylynn's case for nearly two years, visiting, watching her grow, following up on service plans, medical treatments, and gathering every detail I could about her life."
I knew Raylynn's parents loved her, but I had not seen either parent demonstrate the ability to focus on the needs of a medically fragile child.
Her mother's participation lacked in consistency as she struggled with substance abuse treatment, and her father engaged late following his release from prison due to his extensive drug and criminal history. His pace of establishing independence caused concern.
I made the hard decision to begin advocating for termination of parental rights, however; the court determined the parents had made enough progress and did not honor my recommendation. The case planning process also went in the opposite direction of my recommendations, and visitation with her father progressed to unsupervised visits. I continued to see Raylynn decline week after week in her wellbeing as visits in the father's home continued. I continued to fight for what was in her best interests. At the following hearing, the court did what the court is designed to do, balanced out the differing recommendations, and kept the case open for an additional three months. During this time, Raylynn's father experienced several disruptions that led to his inability to care for his daughter.
This is where Raylynn's story becomes beautiful.
In 2014, Raylynn officially became a member of the foster family that cared for her since birth. While Raylynn was unable to be reunified with her biological family, her forever family has chosen to keep those bonds open. Raylynn remains connected to her biological parents and visits them when they are healthy. Today, Raylynn is approaching her 7th birthday, and she is thriving. She is achieving her developmental milestones and is surrounded by a loving family who supports her connections with her biological family."

Oh man have I been down this road before, starting my site and blog I mean. This
time it's gonna stick, I can feel it.

I've been working on reimplementing [JVFloatingDrawer][jvfloatingdrawer] in
`Swift`. The new project is called [KGFloatingDrawer][kgfloatingdrawer], and
works as closely as possible to [JVFloatingDrawer][jvfloatingdrawer] as I could
manage in a short time. I will make efforts to ensure that any changes to the
original project are reimplemented in this new one. This should allow developers
who are familiar with either, a flat learning curve if they choose to use the other
in a new project with the alternate language.

Thanks to the brilliant work of a colleague of mine and his generous permission
to wholesale copy the logic into `Swift` I now have the most popular project
hosted on [GitHub][github] that I have yet written. As of writing this it's
amassed 125 stars!

For those interested in using the project it can be installed as a Cocoapod. A
quick note of caution; [KGFloatingDrawer][kgfloatingdrawer] uses a beta version
of `Swift` (1.2) and until `XCode` 6.3 is released it can't be used in a project.
It will be interesting to see if there is a bump in popularity for the project
once the new version of XCode is released and the AppStore starts accepting apps
using Swift 1.2. My fingers are crossed.

{% highlight ruby %}
pod 'KGFloatingDrawer', '~> 0.1.2'
{% endhighlight %}

The point of this blog will be to relay any interesting tidbits I stumble
upon regarding software development with a focus on iPhone and iPad development.
I also plan to post some tutorials that relate to real world challenges that I
run into while developing for iOS. Where possible I'll focus on Swift, however
I'm sure that some Objective-C will creep in from some older projects. Generally
the quality should be better than this post, which is more of a feet wetting
exercise.

What an exciting few weeks it has been. Within a month I've been to RWDevCon,
written a popular github project, and started this blog. It feels good to be
at it again.

Das Gebäude Paracelsusstraße 12 ist ein denkmalgeschütztes Wohnhaus in Magdeburg in Sachsen-Anhalt.

Lage
Das Wohnhaus befindet sich auf der Südseite der Paracelsusstraße im Magdeburger Stadtteil Reform.

Architektur und Geschichte
Das in seiner Gestaltung an eine Villa erinnernde zweigeschossige verputzte repräsentative Mehrfamilienhaus entstand im Jahr 1922 nach einem Entwurf des Architekten Paul Dobert. Es ist Bestandteil der ab 1909 errichteten ehemaligen Siedlung der Werksbeamten des Krupp-Gruson-Werkes. Die Gestaltung orientiert sich am Heimatstil. Der Bau verfügt über ein hohes Souterrain, die Putzgliederung der Fassade ist im Stil des Neoklassizismus gehalten, die Farbgebung wechselt horizontal zwischen lindgrün und rot. Die Farbgebung macht das Gebäude zu einem Beispiel der besonders farbig gestalteten Architektur in Magdeburg in der Zeit des Stadtbaurats Bruno Taut. Besonders markant ist das auffällig geschweifte Walmdach.

Im örtlichen Denkmalverzeichnis ist das Wohnhaus unter der Erfassungsnummer 094 71172 als Baudenkmal verzeichnet. Vor einer Umnummerierung hatte das Gebäude die Hausnummer 1a.

Das Gebäude gilt als weitgehend in seiner bauzeitlichen Form erhaltener Teil der Beamtensiedlung und städtebaulich, im Zusammenhang mit benachbarter, ebenfalls von Dobert entworfenen Bauten, bemerkenswert. Außerdem ist es ein Zeugnis für die Wohnverhältnisse und Werks Werkswohnungen leitender Angestellter zur Bauzeit. Es bildet einen besonderen Kontrast zur unmittelbar westlich angrenzenden Bebauung der von Taut entworfenen modernen Reihenhaussiedlung Siedlung Reform.

Rooney Interview
By: Sindy
Rooney is back with their much-awaited sophomore album, Calling the World. Kidzworld is getting the low-down on the new disc from Rooney's own keyboardist, Louie Stephens. Check it out!
Sindy: Can you tell us a little bit about the new album, Calling the World?
Louie Stephens: We spent three years making it and put our heart and souls into it. We actually made two other versions of a second album - went through a lot of songs, and even more producers, and finally stuck with a producer named John Fields who did a great job. We were able to aim a little a higher than we were on the first album, I think.
Sindy: Do you have any favorite songs on the album?
Louie Stephens: I'd have to say Are You Afraid.
Sindy: Why is that?
Louie Stephens: Well, first of all it features a lot of keyboard, and I'm a keyboardist. Plus it was really fun to record.
Sindy: The cover is almost a re-creation of the classic Doors album. What's that all about?
Louie Stephens: We didn't really think of it as a recreation of The Doors album. We shot a ton of pictures - all sorts of different looks. After seeing the cover, I went "Oh, wow that is similar". I think we'd just intended to do something old-school looking with a font sort of like The Stones would have used. And then that's how it turned out.
Sindy: You owe a lot of your initial success to your appearance on The O.C. a few years ago. Were you sad when the show went off the air earlier this year?
Louie Stephens: No. To be honest, I didn't really watch the show other than the one episode we were one. It was a blast to do, though. Oh, I should mention that Mischa Barton showed up when we were doing a residency at The Roxy. That was pretty cool.
Sindy: Kelly Clarkson famously pulled a lot of pranks on you while you toured together in 2006. Did you get her back for it?
Louie Stephens: We tried so many times in so many ways, but no, we never managed it. The one day we really tried they had all of this extra security. We were going to ride a golf cart on the stage but they had all these beefy security guards around. They were too strong for us, and we failed.

A fixed part of my pre-Christmas repertoire is a roast goose. It's so exotic for us Aussies, and I love the crispy skin, not to mention the amazing roast potatoes you can make with the goosefat. I've made goose stuffed with sauerkraut, with mashed potatoes, and this year I tried it with a mushroom stuffing from my Culinaria Germany book.
I ordered my goose from John Cesters' Poultry in Prahran Market - ridiculously expensive, but it's only once a year. Last time, the geese were prepared; the head removed and the neck stored within the cavity, leaving the goose nice, neat-looking, and ready to roast. This year, however, the head and neck were still attached. It wasn't a big deal for me to chop the neck off, but at over $30 a kilo, I'd expect a bit more pre-preparation.
After beheading the goose, I did the usual hot water + fan crispy skin trick, and got on with the accompaniments.
I then stuffed the goose, and shoved it in the oven. While that was going on, I parboiled the potatoes for roast potatoes and finished the gravy. For some reason though, the gravy tasted feral - too sweet and with a weird aftertaste. Too much marsala and celery perhaps? Whatever, I turfed it.
Once the goose is out of the oven, you can roast the potatoes. They do take an hour to cook, but the goose stays scaldingly hot under a tent of foil. I love goosefat roast potatoes, and they're even tastier with freshly rendered goosefat. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Nigella's recipe is the best.
The other accompaniments, the red cabbage and baked apples, are pretty simple. Just score the apples and bake for 45 minutes, and heat the red cabbage (from a jar) on the stove. Without any gravy, the soft apple and red cabbage provided delicious sauciness.
The meat was tender and flavourful, but I was a bit disconcerted by the amount of feathers (hair?) still stuck in the skin. What's up with that?
Goose is great to eat, but awkward to carve, as it is so bony. We just hacked it apart roughly, with a knife at first, and with our hands once we gave that up. It's not something my family should be eating in civilised company, hehe.
Oh, and on a side note, that mushroom stuffing was so disappointing! I have no idea why - all the ingredients seemed promising, but combined it just tasted muddy and weird. I'm sticking to plain sauerkraut or mashed potatoes from now on. Apart from that, though, the meal was lovely!
And, a Christmas necessity for me, mince pies for dessert! I made these myself, with a spoon of almond frangipane on top of the fruit mince. More detail to come in an upcoming post.
Merry Christmas everybody! Hope you all have a great day tomorrow!
I'm not sure what location you're in, but in Melbourne we can get goosefat in jars at gourmet stores and delis. It's quite pricey, but sooo yummy for special occasions!


Following a fruitful discussion at our Instability discovery meeting (See Summary Meeting Note Here), where we invited representatives from a variety of disciplines to talk about instability in macroeconomics, The Rebuilding Macroeconomics management team agreed to establish an Instability Hub. As part of Rebuild Macros's process of incorporating different perspectives in macroeconomics, we are hosting an Instability workshop on the 8th of March 2018. This is a chance to further refine our research focus for the next two years. We will bring together economists, financiers, psychologists, anthropologists, physicists, and others to discuss the important points made in the discovery meeting. After, we will be in a position to make a first call for research that highlights areas where we think there is potential for some genuinely new, policy-relevant and interdisciplinary ideas.

With the assistance of last nights mid-voyage Internet connection, we were able to find what we thought would be a good chance at a bed. Unfortunately, we couldn't actually book anything. After talking to Mom and Dad on Skype and explaining the 14 second audio delay because of the satellite connection I was using, we made out way to the hostel.
The downside of arriving anywhere past midnight is that there is no guarantee of a working metro system. Many places shut down their metros at midnight and also reduce bus service. Athens is one of those cities. We ended up sharing a cab with the American couple, since they were staying at a hotel near us. We paid €5/each and were on our way.
We got to the hostel and low and behold, they had one room left. So, the good news is that we had a bed. The bad news is that we had a bed, singular.
Whatever, we took it and went to bed.
Exploring Athens in 4 hours was pretty exiting. We had three goals: National Archaeological Museum of Athens, Parthenon, and catching our boat in Patros1.
…and yes, that's a guy giving himself a tittie twister2.
As we were leaving the Parthenon, the drops started to fall. By time we made it down the small ridge the Parthenon was on, it was pouring down rain. We made a mad dash for the hostel were we grabbed our bags. Already running late, we hailed a cab (the second in as many days) and raced to the bus terminal. We made it with, I swear, only five minutes before the bus left. But we were on, and that's what mattered at this point…even if we were soaking wet.
The bus ride, like all the bus rides before it, was uneventful.
We got to the bus terminal and ran to the ferry terminal, which sucked because we had to go all the way to the ticket counter on the far side of the terminal before going back to ferry. By time we got to the ferry, they had already started to pull up the car ramp…so we just barely made it.
This ferry, the Superfast Ferry, was quite a bit nicer than the other ferries we had been, which is saying something because the other ferries were pretty nice. I'd actually call this ferry more of an ocean linear.
We made our way to the foyer and sat down. It wasn't long before I was scouting out a place for out "instant upgrade." The place I selected was the airplane-style seats. It seemed to more or less be a free for all, and there were plenty of extra seats. I would suspect that less than half the people actually had tickets for the airplane-style seats. We managed to snag a couple and settled in for our night ride to Bari, Italy.
Around midnight, there was a commotion that aroused me from my sleep. We were being kicked out. We had just pulled out of port in Igoumenitsa and someone actually had a ticket for our seats! What luck!
We tried finding a place to sleep somewhere else, first in the foyer (no place to lie down), and then in the dining area. However, some official actually kicked us (a bunch of people actually) out because the area was for people who were eating. Problem was, the restaurant wasn't open. I guess he didn't care.
So it was back to the foyer. However, I was determined to get back to our plush aircraft-style seats. After waiting a bit, I made by way back in to the cabin and scouted our another spot. I found a guy sitting with two bags taking up two extra seats. I asked if he was using them, to which he prompt got up and left. So I took them. And all was good with the world again.
Dad called me today to let me know that I should print my boarding pass online when I fly back for Thanksgiving.
Then he wanted to know if I wanted to grab some food tomorrow. He's in town!
Brian flies back tomorrow, Dad flies back Sunday, and I fly back Monday.
Poor Mom, she's going to be driving to the airport a lot.
Update: It's up! Check it out: GottaBeAStudent and The Myth of Battery Life. Also a special thanks to Mom and Dad for A) proof reading it, and B) providing me with a title.
Starting later today, I'll be doing a series of articles on GottaBeMobile.com that deals with tablet issues from a student perspective. We'll, at least from my perspective (if you know me, you know that I can bring a unique perspective to anything).
GottaBeMobile is the site for Tablet PC information, so it's a pretty big honor to write for them.
I also need to take a moment to point out the incredible irony that finds me, an engineer, writing in a situation like this. One of the reasons I went to Mines was to get away from all the writing that high school and humanities classes had. Yet, I find my self blogging several times a week on my personal site and writing articles for two outside sites.
In any event, it's going to be more of an article based series, rather than the short and informative posting I do like to do at StudentTabletPC.com. However, I think many will find them just as helpful.
I'll post again when I put up the first article later today.
I'd also like to thank Rob for giving me (and STPC) a chance to expand my (our) audience and Tracy for letting me get away with it 😉 . Rob was also very helpful and kind in helping me make the decision to contribute to GBM, including helping me with a list of topics.
When I last left off, the lady downstairs was banging banging banging.
The interesting thing is that the officer didn't knock last night, so I'm guessing they didn't take the complain seriously or assumed that it had stopped before they got here.
I talked with Dad and he talked with Laurel Property Services. Then I talked with Laurel Property Services. I was very disappointed by how Laurel decided to deal with the situation. Their suggestion was to call the police if she banged again. Okaaaay.
And I left. Did I just have this conversation? I called the non-emergency police number and informed them that I was having a dispute with my neighbor and would like an officer sent over. The dispatcher asked if I would be willing to go to mediation. "Sure!" I said, "Anything at this point." She gave me the number for the Jefferson County Mediation. I gave them a call. The called back the next day and left a message. They seemed very nice. I'm going to call them tomorrow to get the ball rolling so that I can get this all figured out right when I get back.

Years ago, when my beloved grandmother Mama Farley died at age ninety, my husband, Don, and I decided our then five-year-old daughter, Holly, and six-year-old son, Jay, would attend the Kentucky funeral with us. During the long drive, we talked about heaven and told our children that Mama—the part we couldn't see—was already with the Lord.
Then I, a veteran of Southern funerals, told about the part they would see. She'd be lying in a big box, called a casket, and would be surrounded by flowers. A lot of people would be in the room, I said, and many would be crying because Mama Farley couldn't talk to them anymore.
I talked about the sad hymns the people would sing, what the minister would say, and even about the procession to the cemetery after her adult grandsons carried the casket to the big car called a hearse. Then, most important of all, I asked if they had any questions. Jay wondered about practical matters, such as how they put the casket in the ground, but Holly just stared at me, her eyes round with silent wonderings.
I hadn't anticipated a question like that and it required more than just a quick "No, of course not." Suddenly this business of explaining death to myself had become difficult. How could I help a child grasp what I couldn't?
"Well, Holly. . . ." I stalled, searching for something both simple and theologically sound. Jay turned from studying the casket handles to face his little sister.
Most of the nation is enjoying spring blossoms now, but this morning I awakened to snow in my Colorado yard. Thus, a warm Kentucky cobbler is a perfect dessert for a day like today.
Large, juicy blackberries grow wild in the Appalachian mountains and are a welcome fresh fruit summer treat. Additional plump berries are preserved as jam or canned in glass jars for winter use. The only drawbacks to the berry picking are the large thorns on the brambles and the snakes that linger under the low-hanging bushes. During my childhood when I picked berries with my mother and siblings, I was the only one who saw a snake at every picking. Thankfully, I saw only one each time. Once I saw the snake, then I could get serious about gathering the prized berries.
Zetta, the main character in my novel Zetta's Dream, would have prepared meals on a coal-burning stove—like the other women in the early 1920s coal camp. When the women traded recipes, the final instruction would have been "cook until done." Thus, when I collected the 29 authentic recipes for the book Zetta's Coal Camp Recipes, I occasionally added modern cooking instructions and/or hints for cooks using today's stoves. I hope you enjoy this modern version of a vintage dessert.
Arrange fruit evenly in the bottom of a 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-inch lightly greased baking pan.
In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; cut in butter until crumbly.
Stir in milk. Spoon batter over fruit.
Combine sugar and cornstarch; sprinkle over batter. Pour water over all.
Enjoy with cold milk or your favorite ice cream flavor.
After a restless night, Zetta dressed quietly and slipped into the kitchen. The snow still was falling. She watched the soot absorb the flakes, then picked up an orange from yesterday's school party and breathed deeply of its fragrance before cutting the fruit into twelve slices. Three slices went on each man's plate and one each on hers and the children's.
After mixing the biscuit dough, Zetta reached for her favorite skillet as Asa came into the kitchen and kissed the back of her neck.
But before Asa had finished lighting the candles, Rachel and Micah emerged from the bedroom. Asa pulled both children to the tree.
As the delighted children reached for the new toys, Zetta heard the corn shuck mattress rustle as her brothers got out of bed. Soon Luttrell entered, smiling at the children. Loren followed, buckling his belt.
Loren held up his hands. "Those gifts are from Santy Claus," he said.
Asa wrapped Micah's little hand around the stick attached to the back of the dancing man and bounced the toy against the bare floor.
As Micah watched the swirling legs of the toy, Loren danced several shuffling steps then pointed to the mechanical bank under the tree's branches.
Loren pushed the lever, and the penny sailed into the mechanical man's mouth. As Micah giggled, Loren slapped his thigh.
As Asa steered Zetta toward a chair near the tree, Loren pulled a tortoise shell hand mirror from behind his back.
Zetta motioned for him to bend down and kissed him soundly on the cheek.
Luttrell held out a smooth board marked with black lines. A small bright blue cloth bag lay on top.
As Zetta motioned for Luttrell to bend down for a kiss on the cheek, Loren came back into the room with his hands behind his back. Asa took the item from Loren and held it behind his own back.
He held up a red sweater.
When she didn't take the garment from her husband, Loren laughed.
Asa was bewildered, looking first at the astonished Zetta then the grinning Loren.
Zetta stood up and took the sweater.
As a friend lamented her estranged son's absence, I remembered a time when I had protected someone else's child. I promised to pray for the same help for my friend's son.
Years ago I was in Jerusalem's Old City, marveling at the narrow stone streets where tiny shops displayed spices, goat meat, camel rugs and wood carvings. Ahead of me was a young Palestinian mother cradling a baby in her left arm while she steered a little boy about three with her right hand. Even though her gray-green dress and white headscarf announced a different culture, I thought of earlier days of shopping with my two little ones.
Then a collective groan went up as people flattened against walls as a garbage tractor inched forward. The streets already were crowded. How was the driver going to get the vehicle through?
But I moved with the crowd, muttering meaningless English "Sorrys" as we flattened ourselves—four deep on each side—against the storefronts and each other. The tractor's oversized tires were only millimeters away.
Suddenly someone was kicking my ankles. The little son of the Palestinian mother was trying to fight past me–and into the path of the tractor. I grabbed his shoulder and looked to where I last had seen his mother. She, like the rest of us, was trapped against the wall and holding the baby up to keep the child from being crushed. But while she was protecting one, her eyes were darting over the crowd for the other who had been separated in the pushing.
Still gripping her son's shoulder with one hand, I waved to her with the other while the child kicked my ankles for all he was worth.
"He's here. I have him!" I shouted.
Her bewildered stare told me she didn't understand English, and all of us were pressed too tightly for me to pick up the child. All I could do was point down and nod, hoping she understood her son was safe.
At last, with the tractor past, I steered the child to his anxious mother. As he recognized her skirt, he clutched it, sobbing with relief. I touched his dark hair and looked into his mother's brown misty eyes as she nodded her thanks.
I wanted to tell her about my own two children. I wanted to tell her I understood. But we merely looked at one another through tear-filled eyes. I touched her little boy's head once more and slipped back into the throng.
I had been there for that child during a crisis. And I would pray someone would be there for my friend's son as well.
I hope you are enjoying a lovely summer. But where is the time going? Here we are heading toward the end of July already. Lately, Colorado has been experiencing more than its share of thunderstorms, so I often have to turn off my computer. That just gives me an excuse to bake another Appalachian dish from Zetta's Coal Camp Recipes that's due out later this summer.
For those of you who have read Zetta's Dream: An Appalachian Coal Camp Novel, you know the young wife and mother, Zetta Berghoffer, spends long hours cooking for her miner husband, Asa, and her two miner brothers, Loren and Luttrell. Her plump red-haired neighbor, Dosha Conley, enjoys cooking for her husband, Jack—and sharing her wonderful buttermilk pie with friends.
During a recent storm, I baked Dosha's simple but yummy pie. Now I want to share the recipe with you. I hope you enjoy the rich dessert as much as I do. And if you prepare it, please let me know what YOU think. Hugs across the miles! #SAldrich_ZettasDream.
Blend first 7 ingredients together.
Bake in unbaked pie shell at 325 degrees for about 45 minutes or until firm. Enjoy!


Headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, since the original split into Eastern and Western Provinces in 1888, the Western Province of the Vincentian Priests and Brothers has remained throughout history to contain all the regions in the United States west of the Mississippi River.
St. Louis was one of the first locations of Vincentian mission in the United States, and from the early days of St. Mary's of the Barrens Seminary— the seminary established by some of the first Vincentians to live and work in the United States— the Western Province set out to accommodate for the needs of the immigrant Catholic community just as the Eastern Province was doing at the time. As there was a need for better education among the groups Vincentians were serving, the Western Province had a focus on the establishment and betterment of seminaries and schools. The most successful of these, originally a high school built on the north side of Chicago, later became DePaul University, now the largest Catholic university in the United States.

小黃瓜,大矮瓜,也許還是年年的種著,也許現在根本沒有了。 Cucumbers and pumpkins may still be planted there every year; or perhaps there are no more at all.
那早晨的露珠是不是還落在花盆架上,那午間的太陽是不是還照著那大向日葵,那黃昏時候的紅霞是不是還會一會工夫會變出來一匹馬來,一會工夫會變出來一匹狗來,那麼變著。 Do drops of morning dew still gather on the flower-vase stands? Does the noonday sun still send its rays down on the large sunflowers? Do the red clouds at sunset still form into the shape of a horse, only to shift a moment later into the shape of a dog?
這一些不能想像了。 There are things that I cannot know.
聽說有二伯死了。 I heard that Second Uncle You died.
老廚子就是活著年紀也不小了。 If the old cook is still alive, he will be getting on in years.
東鄰西舍也都不知怎樣了。 I don't know what has become of any of our neighbors.

The more willing you are to travel at a moment's notice, the more opportunities you can access. Day jobs will limit travel, so will mortgages and car payments. Photojournalist Lynsey Addario recently wrote about being 7 months pregnant while on assignment in Gaza. I deeply admire her bravery and commitment to her work, but I imagine many photographers aren't willing to make such compromises. Consider your lifestyle, and how much time you're willing to spend away from home. As for myself, I'm a long-term digital nomad traveling with a suitcase and a backpack and an open mind. Being available and flexible has made a monumental difference to my career.
I was eagerly planning to revisit some of the neighborhoods with lòngtáng on my forthcoming trip to Shanghai and add to my inventory of candid photography, but was disappointed to read that large areas of Laoximen; one of the most well known of these neighborhoods, are being demolished by the city's government in the name of modernizing the area and raising living standards.

A pretty picture is not enough. It needs to be high quality and it needs to be original. For magazines, you need to consider issues such as leaving space on the image for word placement, positioning your subject off-centre so it doesn't fall down the page join, and possibly placing the subject on the right-hand side of a landscape shot for maximum impact.

According to Sixth Tone, Laoximen land clearance and resettlement is scheduled for completion by the end of this year with major works to start after this Chinese New Year.

Finally I promised one little girl, who made a long journey to see me and prefer her request, -- and she is a "Dorothy," by the way -- that when a thousand little girls had written me a thousand little letters asking for the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman I would write the book, Either little Dorothy was a fairy in disguise, and waved her magic wand, or the success of the stage production of "The Wizard of OZ" made new friends for the story, For the thousand letters reached their destination long since -- and many more followed them.
The third image is of Jinru Lee; a student and part-time model in Georgetown (Penang Island, Malaysia). It was made in late August 2018 under the sweltering sun of Penang, and inside the Cheah Kongsi Clan House Temple on Lebuh Armenian. I was in Penang to photograph the various Hokkien operas during the Hungry Ghost festival, and took the opportunity to set a photo shoot in its streets for a forthcoming audio slideshow (aka photo film) titled "The Phantom of the Opera".
Setting goals and thinking about the reason you want to be a travel photographer sounds like a pretty easy step to skip but believe me, you want those goals to look back at one day. When you've had a bad few months without work, when you're knee deep in mud because you took the term 'getting the shot' a bit too far…you want to be reminded of why you're doing it.
The Lower Omo River in south west Ethiopia is home to eight different tribes whose population is about 200,000 and it is there that they've lived there for many centuries. The tribes such as the Daasanach, Kara (or Karo), and the Mursi live along the Omo river and depend on it for their livelihood. The annual flooding of the Omo River feeds the biodiversity of the region and guarantees the food security of the tribes especially as rainfall is low and erratic.

Approaching a new client can be a lot easier if you happen to be visiting that region, or if it's where you are based. Start local and contact businesses who you regularly use or that have less than desirable images on their website…put together a proposal and they'll more than likely say yes if it benefits them! If they're just starting out on social media you can offer to create a library of social media images they can use over a 3-6month period to generate interest in their product/region.

It covers all aspects, from cities to airports, cruise ports to ski and beach resorts, attractions to events, and it also includes offbeat travel news, stories, quizzes and guides for adventurous travellers.
As with all types of photography, smart business sense is key. There are many ways to make a living with travel photography, and much of it extends well beyond your photo gear into social media marketing, content development, negotiation and sales. But the first step is to get out into the world and shoot. Start with anyplace you've been dreaming of traveling, and go! Plan ahead, do some research, and don't shoot like a tourist. Can't afford to travel? Search for opportunities in your nearest city to begin building your portfolio.
Tip from a pro: Instead of trying to work with a large media organization like a magazine or newspaper, become a small media icon yourself. If you have a large and influential presence on social media, such as Facebook and Twitter, you might be more appealing to these organizations than old school media. So, start a blog, gain followers, and who knows, you could be their next photographer.
After spending the last 6 years fiddling and learning photography, my wife and I are about to move to Cambridge, UK from Melbourne. We are planning to post and write about our European trips in a capacity that is more than just telling our family what we are doing with the goal of allowing our work to eventually pay for our travel. Our first real post will be up soon, looking at our short weekend trip into the Wimmera/Mallee to visit the new Silo Art in the region. My Wife is a much better writer than I am and is currently editing!

And now Android users are asking "When can we get this?" But it's written in Cocoa Touch, and we can't translate it ourselves.
• What experience you have. Ideally, we'd pick someone who has already published Android apps which received good reviews.
• How long you think it would take you to finish, and what you'd expect to be paid for the work . . . or, if you can't even start to say without more information, what information you need.
• Anything you want us to know about Android app creation, marketing, sales, or whatever. Nobody here owns an Android; feel free to educate us.
• Anything else you want to say under the general heading of "Pick me! Pick me!"


Why not help your child make a mask using their own face as a mold. You can also make a mask using a balloon as a base. Not only can this be a fun and educational craft, but it is also a great way to make decorations and accessories for Halloween.
Make sure you cover your work surface well. This can be newspaper laid on top of wax paper, freezer paper, or even on an old tablecloth or shower curtain. To allow ample drying time, you will need a few days to complete this project.
To make a mask using a face as a mold, start off by tearing off a piece of aluminum foil at least twice as long as the subject's face, fold it in half. Use the subject's face as a mold by gently pressing the double layer of tin foil over it. Wad up the newspaper and place it inside the curved section of the foil mold and lay it on your work surface.
If you prefer to use a balloon as a mold for your mask, start out by blowing up a balloon and tying it closed. Find a bowl or cup your balloon can sit on while you work on it. Completely cover the cup or bowl with plastic wrap so the paper mache hopefully does not stick to it. Tear newspaper into strips about 1- or 2-inches wide and 4- to 8-inches long. You will need a lot of newspaper. Choose a paper mache recipes and make it. Follow step-by-step directions to cover your foil mold or balloon.
If you are working with a foil mold, make sure not to press too hard or it may lose its shape! Cover the foil mold with at least 3 or 4 layers of paper mache, letting it dry completely between layers.
If you are working with a balloon, you will only want to cover half of the balloon with paper mache unless you want to make an entire head. Once you have on one layer of paper mache and it is dry, use various supplies to make dimensional facial features on your balloon. You can make a nose, ears, thick eyebrows, lips, etc. Use cardboard, newspaper, foil, or other items. Use masking tape to hold everything in place.
Once you have created all the facial features on your balloon mask, continue to add 3 or 4 more layers of paper mache.
Once the paper mache is dry, the mask can be painted and decorated however you like. If you used a balloon base, pop the balloon and remove any loose pieces. If you can't get them all, don't worry no one should see them on the inside. You can use a variety of craft supplies to add some personal touches to your masks, such as yarn, fabric scraps, beads, glitter, and paper. You are only limited by your own imagination.
While this mask is more for decorative purposes you can cut eye holes out before you decorate it and also punch holes on either side to add ribbon or elastic to fit around your head.

I have begun work on the Production Bay and came across some problems.
Forgot that Earth also had a ground bay so there are actually two locations where items can be produced. Because of this the work has doubled of what I first estimated.
The Data arrays that I thought where pretty much complete had to be expanded by 8480 data points to save all the different production types like the automation process on every planet that could be colonized.
I have almost finished the logic behind the production process without the use of a computer on the ground bay. It will be very easy to translate this to a production bay in Orbit. I hope to finish the Manual production ground and orbit bay this week. After that I will focus on automating the process.
Because it takes more and more actions to progress to the point where I could test functions I have put some work in the options screen to make it possible to load and save games.
If the production bay is finished I will focus on the Shuttle Bay and the Shuttle it self so that the game can progress to going in to orbit.

With help from Brian Gay, Ian Poulter gets his PGA Tour card after all
Chris Graythen/Getty Images
By Jeff Babineau April 29, 2017 3:30 pm
By Jeff Babineau | April 29, 2017 3:30 pm
AVONDALE, La. – As the headline writers might say in the English tabloids, Ian Poulter is one happy chappy. One week after the feisty Englishman lost his PGA Tour card upon missing the cut at the Valero Texas Open, he received a call from PGA Tour executive vice-president and COO Andy Pazder late Friday with the unexpected news that he was fully exempt for the remainder of the 2016-17 season.
The price for the best news that Poulter has received all year? He owes fellow Tour player Brian Gay an expensive bottle of bubbly. The good stuff.
"Well, it's unexpected, isn't it?" Poulter said Saturday after the third round of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. "So I would just have to say it's a nice surprise, is what it was.
"It's obviously a good surprise, you know, to hear good news when you've been under an awful lot of pressure to play golf, you've come under a lot of tricky media questions in the last month, and being somewhat subjected to some social media abuse. It's been tough. The last month has been hard to deal with."
Ian Poulter loses PGA Tour card but feels he can come back stronger than ever
Poulter and Gay each had been attemping to secure a Tour card for 2016-17 through a limited number of starts afforded them through the Tour's Major Medical category. Poulter, 41, who missed four-plus months with a foot injury last season, had 10 events to earn $347,634, or 218 FedEx Cup points; he fell short of both marks in his 10th start last week at the Valero Texas Open in San Antonio.
Gay, 45, has been in a similar position. Having missed 2014-15 with a back injury, he had 14 available starts this season to earn $461,851 or secure 309 FedEx Cup points. Gay, who tied for sixth in each of his last two starts (RBC Heritage, Valero Texas Open) has surpassed the earnings threshold. But he failed to get to 309 points, which meant he was not eligible for the lucrative Players Championship May 11-14.
Gay did some numbers crunching, though, and found a discrepancy in the way points are doled out this season compared with a year ago, which was the season against which he was being measured. He brought the issue to Pazder, had a lengthy discussion, and Pazder then brought Gay's findings to his staff and eventually the Tour's four player directors that sit on the board. (Poulter on Saturday declined to divulge that it was Gay who brought the points discrepancy to the Tour, saying it was someone else "in a position that they weren't exempt for an event and they potentially had to earn a few more points.") Gay needed 29 points in three starts to reach the 309 he needed, but had only next week's Wells Fargo event to secure a spot into the Players.

When approaching his staff and the Tour's player directors, Pazder said he did not name the two players who were most affected, simply framing the conversation by saying that players on medicals could be adversely affected under the new system. Once the player directors gave the change unanimous approval, Tour commissioner Jay Monahan approved the move to apply last year's points system as the measuring standard. That gave Poulter his card, and earned Gay (and Poulter) a start at the Players, as well a spot in this summer's Quicken Loans National.
Basically, the modified Fedex Cup points curve in place did not reward players finishing 15th on down in Tour events with the same number of points that the previous system did. (Points were modified as the Tour did away with using the top 125 in earnings as a standard to keep a card, moving solely to FedEx points from here forward.)
"In the final analysis," Pazder said of the modified status of Poulter and Gay, "the commissioner felt it was a fair and equitable thing to do.
"We moved the goal line on them, right? We didn't realize the impact it (the modified points system) would have on medical extensions."

Poulter, for his part, was delighted with the news. Being fully exempt allows him to have control over his own schedule, something that playing from the 126-150 category (which he was readying to do) would not.
"Being in kind of no man's land, not knowing whether you're going to play golf, is very tough, and it's very hard to book anything," he said. "It's a drastic change from yesterday morning before I teed off to the position I stand today … Everyone's happy, right?"
Poulter has 2.33 million followers on Twitter, and he said he hopes some of the social media fires that have been stirred as he chased his card the last few months now can be extinguished.
"Hopefully, it might quiet down some of the interesting people on social media," Poulter said, "and I won't have to block quite so many people."

Description: Player with his or her back to the defender receives the ball and tries to turn and beat the defender. One player serves the ball in while two players work as defender and attacker. Server makes crisp pass into the offensive player's feet as he or she checks back to the ball.
Work on turning and beating a defender who is closely marking you. Defender can try win the ball after the attacker touches the ball. Attacker has to use his or her body to push away from the defender and shield the ball once they receive it.
Practice a shoulder dip, feint to one side, flicking the ball around defender, letting the ball run through their legs, turning with the soles of the feet, or checking back already half turned and using the outside of your foot.
The key in this drill is to drag the defender away from where you want the ball. Then, break towards the ball at speed and lose the defender. This will give the attacking player time to turn.

PG PRESENTS - Sammy J
Former Peninsula School student Sammy J is an award-winning comedian, writer and musician. A proud nerd, he abandoned his law degree to travel the world and sing funny songs for a living. You may have seen him on TV, at a festival, or as one half of the man/puppet duo Sammy J & Randy.

Their acclaimed live shows have taken them from the Sydney Opera House to London's West End, and in 2015 they were handpicked by Neil Patrick Harris to appear in his Montreal Gala. Their musical sitcom, "Sammy J & Randy in Ricketts Lane", premiered on ABC TV in 2015, and has since launched on Netflix UK and NBC's Seeso in the USA.
As a composer, Sammy J has written countless comedy songs for stage and screen, and scored the incidental music for "Ricketts Lane" and "Sammy J's Playground Politics".
