← More Awards – How Wonderful!
I can't believe that Christmas is eight days away! We are almost ready. Hope you are already too. There are so many preparations for the holidays but what we have to remember most is why we are celebrating Christmas – the birth of Christ!
I would like to share some of my poems for Christmas here. I will post one a day for the next few days.
This one I call A WARM AND FUZZY CHRISTMAS.
sitting in front of the fire eating cookies and drinking cocoa, coffee or tea.
and throwing snowballs at each other creating happy smiles and laughs.
apple cider with cinnamon swirling.
prepared for family members gathering together from far away they drove.
without close friends never feels the same.
while family and friends sip cordials and photo albums are shared and passed all around.
and children must get to bed before Santa is near.
while the snow and wind whip through the yard's willows.
and tomorrow we look forward to a warm and fuzzy Christmas Day.
Blessings for a wonderful Christmas to all!

Thank you, Paul. It is only warm inside here. We are in our second snowstorm in the past four days. Today temps were 11 degrees.
Your poem is so cute, Janice. The perfect Christmas gift for all of us. We wish you a perfect day with your family.


Have you been part in any projects before? If yes elaborate what you did: No, I've only participated in regular jobs and house builds.
"That is the fairest of all the dwellings of my people. There are no trees like the trees of that land. For in the autumn their leaves fall not, but turn to gold. Not till the spring and the new green opens do they fall, and then the boughs are laden with yellow flowers; and the floor of the wood is golden, and golden is the roof, and its pillars are of silver, for the bark of the trees is smooth and grey."
The current Lothlorien on our server is way too plain and doesn't look that much like a forest. A forest should have different tree species and should have small trees mixed with big trees. When you walk through a forest you see thin trees, thick trees, saplings, bushes, flowers, ferns and leaves on the ground. Since this isn't the situation in our Lothlorien at the moment, we're going to beautify it!
I have divided the map of Loth into 8 rather large regions, which have been subdivided into area's. All these area's will need a larger variety of trees, some bushes, fallen leaves, saplings, ferns and lots of beautiful flowers!
For the (soon) upcoming jobs there will be a guide on where to place bushes and patches of flowers and what types of flowers etc. It will be posted in this thread so keep an eye out for that!
I moved this thread to the application sub forum. Looking good though Yourie try and find some more people to help you out and you will hear from us in a week.
Ps: Let me know if you cant post in tihs thread or post a new thread in this subforum (project applications) of the jobs and projects forum.
Great idea, especially now that the misties are being worked on.
However, I recommend using smaller regions that can be finished on one evening. It will be a lot harder to keep track of what is finished when the regions are as large as these.
I was already expecting that it would be too big. So I'll change that.
Cool Project Yourie. I will help!
Please do wait with section 1 (start with another one) as I most likely will adjust the width of Nimrodel (the river there) as its pretty ugly atm.
I'd like to help as well. If you want I can try to make some concepts.
I think the ground layer should be made with a rainforest in mind, because it is said that elves could move unseen in the dense foilage.
We could add pools. creeks, crevices and small caves, because they exist in rainforests as well.
definitely some small shallow pools with little one wide creaks flowing here and there, flowing into the Anduin Celebrandt and nimrodel and i don't know if it's possible but maybe a re-textured leaf block made to look like butterflies, which are animated and flutter about. i think that would just make the forest that much more.
Really impressed with the map and planning, I hope this becomes something beautiful. For any help or tips feel free to bother me. I'm not online 24/7 but you can always try.
Not really vegetation that is seen in a rainforest, but as dense as one.
I was unsure about the green trees but due to your image I think we can fit them in. The problem is that we don't have thinner woodblocks, so tiny trees will kind of look fat.
I also thought about placing something on every free block, and then leave paths in the dense shrubbery, paths for the elves to sneak in.
The idea of the variety of leaf colour is what I had in mind too. If we add some green, red and yellow leaves it would look way more colorful! And I agree with Beat that we should make the ground layer quite dense so the elves can sneak through the vegetation. Thanks for all the ideas guys, it's going to be just perfect!
@yourie98 if @BeatHeav3N is going to help, you should add him to your post as project staff.
I will have to see if I got time to help as designer but I would like to. I just don't want to promiss anything.
@Luckylarv I really like the picture, especially the mallorn trees are very near to the description in the book.
"The brances of the mallorn-tree grew out nearly straight from the trunk, and then swept upward; but near the top the main stem divided into a crown of many boughs, ..."
@BeatHeav3N, I tried some smaller mallorn trees, I think its possible to build small trees with normal logs. I have already made quite a lot of small trees in my themed builds. But I dont like using wool for leaves. The missing transparency makes the trees looking wrong. I tried less dense canopys but that does not really help. Is there any chance to get transparent mallorn leaves, for example would it be possible to retexture spruce leaves?
Another problem is, that the trees in Lothlorien are mostly very dense without clrearings. Our first concept is build in a place with exceptionally many clearings. I wonder if it would be possible within this project to remove some of the large mallorn trees to get more clearings. The actual forest ist very dark and most trees have moreless the same size. A natural forest would have trees of any size from saplings to giants.

Crimson Sky Vizslas only breeds a few Vizsla litters each year. By only breeding Vizslas and a select number of litters we can give the puppies and their owners the attention they deserve. We only breed to quality Vizsla stud dogs, and dams. All of our Vizsla puppies are raised in our home with family interaction daily. Our daughter loves to play with the puppies, so you know your Vizsla puppy will be well socialized. They are raised around the hustle and bustle of daily life and never raised in a kennel or somewhere other than the home. Pam and Mark are hands on breeders, making sure mom and pups are well watched during delivery. Pam usualy spends the night with mom in the welping box. Mark starts the puppy training by introducing the puppies to quail and helps them become bold and confident. Pam get most of the daily puppy maintenance. All of our Vizslas are health screened for common Vizsla health issues. The hips are certified by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals OFA prior to breeding. Your Vizsla puppy from CSV will come with a health guarantee, microchip, puppy packet and our continued support.
When we breed, we breed for a Dual Vizsla. that means they excel in the field and conform to the vizsla standard.
We work hard to place all of our puppies into perfect homes. We do not require you to enter the show ring, Field Trials, or hunt with your Vizsla, but if it is something that interests you, will we be happy to help and mentor you along the way!
If you are interested in one of our upcoming Vizsla litters or have questions about the Vizslas we breed please contact us. We invite you to come meet our Vizslas. If we do not have any puppies available, we can direct you to a puppy out of one of our stud dogs or to another responsible breeder who may have puppies available.

Q: PlayFramework render multiply views for a one html page I would like to generate an HTML page using Play Framework. For this page I would like use two views templates. Each generated/rendered separately, and glued into one.
I ask for this particular functionality, because I have many views that I would like to reuse in different combinations. I would like to avoid to paste them all into one template, and use if statements to generate the correct view.
This views are not related to each other, and they are too huge (about 1000 lines each) to be all in one file, so I decided to split them.
I know that I can inject one view into another. This is what I do for many cases (eg. I inject currentView.scala.html into mainManuView.scala.html), but in this particular case it is not a really an option.

A: You could use render(...).body to get the HTML content of every view and concatenate them together.
val partOne = views.html.partOne.render(...).body
val partTwo = views.html.partTwo.render(...).body
Ok(partOne + partTwo)

A: Other way that I've figure out later on my own, is to call view with parameters as a normal method from other view.
Example view:
@(header: String, variable1: String, variable2: String, sharedVariable: String)
@MainManuView(header) {

        @views.html.partOneView(variable1, sharedVariable)

        @views.html.partTwoView(variable2, sharedVariable)

}

GM Settles Key Georgia Wrongful Death Ignition Switch Suit for the Second Time
Posted by Arlin Crisco on Mar 16, 2015 6:28:34 PM
In an August 2014 hearing, Judge Kathryn Tanskley explains why she is denying General Motors' motion to dismiss Kenneth and Mary Elizabeth Meltons' suit. The Meltons, who claimed their daughter, Brooke, died because of a faulty ignition switch in her GM car, settled their initial complaint in 2013 for $5 million. However, they rescinded that agreement and renewed their wrongful death suit last year, claiming GM had fraudulently concealed information to induce them to settle. On Friday, the Meltons settled their reopened suit against the manufacturer for a confidential amount.
Marietta, GA—The family of a driver allegedly killed because of a faulty ignition switch in a General Motors car reached a second settlement with the auto giant Friday. Melton v. General Motors, 2011-A-2652.
Kenneth and Mary Elizabeth Melton settled their wrongful death and fraud claims against both General Motors and auto dealership Thornton Chevrolet for a confidential sum. The Meltons' suit stemmed from a 2010 collision that killed their daughter Brooke. The Meltons contended the ignition switch in Brooke's Chrysler Cobalt turned off the engine while the car was in motion, causing her to strike an oncoming vehicle.
The settlement is the second in the case. In 2013, the Meltons agreed to a $5 million settlement of their claims. However, last year, the Meltons rescinded the agreement, contending GM had fraudulently withheld documents showing the auto manufacturer concealed the switch defect for years. GM has recalled more than 2 million cars because of the ignition switch defect and has faced congressional scrutiny regarding its knowledge of the faulty switch. Friday's settlement includes a confidential award calculated by the GM Ignition Compensation Claims Resolution Facility, administered by Kenneth Feinberg. The fund, established by GM, has received more than 4,000 claims for compensation and has linked more than 65 deaths to the defect, according to published reports.
The Cooper Firm's Lance Cooper, representing the Meltons, said his clients agreed to the settlement after accomplishing their goal of revealing "the truth" surrounding GM's knowledge of the switch defect. In a press conference Monday, Cooper called the Meltons' decision to rescind their initial settlement "The most courageous thing I have ever had clients do."
Cooper said reopening the case led similar state and multidistrict litigation claims to be fast tracked, releasing "millions" of documents concerning GM's knowledge of the switch defect. "What (the Meltons) wanted was to pursue this second lawsuit in order to get at the truth," Cooper said. "The truth has been uncovered."
Friday's settlement came before a scheduled Tuesday hearing on the Meltons' subpoena of King & Spalding documents concerning the firm's representation of GM. The firm had argued that the notes were protected by attorney-client privilege.
Last August, GM unsuccessfully moved to dismiss the Meltons' reopened suit on res judicata grounds. In denying the motion during a hearing recorded by CVN, Cobb County State Court Judge Kathryn Tanskley told the parties "Giving effect to the law and public policy... would be to put the parties back where they originally were, and that all has to be played out properly."
Although the settlement ends the Meltons' suit, similar ignition switch defect claims continue to progress against GM, with the first federal trial set for January 2016. However, Beasley Allen's Jere Beasley, representing the Meltons, told reporters he doubts any of the lawsuits will reach a jury. "Once it gets to a trial setting, GM cannot afford to let the public know how bad they have been," Beasley said.
Representatives for GM could not immediately be reached for comment.

Government meetings are taking place virtually.
Mark Alan Lovewell
Government Offices Close in Every Island Town
Noah Asimow
Monday, March 16, 2020 - 1:54pm
UPDATED Thursday, March 19, 2020 - 1:58pm
Government institutions on the Vineyard took unprecedented steps this week to close town halls, cancel in-person meetings, strictly limit interactions with the public and activate emergency operation plans in the quickly unfolding nationwide effort to stem the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Edgartown courthouse is locked, the Registry of Deeds is shuttered, town libraries and county buildings are closed.
Early in the week all six Island towns scrambled to begin holding public meetings by teleconference, and make town halls open by appointment only.
Annual town meetings, scheduled from late March through April, have been or are in the process of being postponed.
The closures are expected to last for at least the next few weeks as the threat of the virus has transformed nearly every aspect of public life on the Island.
Due to the emergency, Gov. Charlie Baker has instituted changes on Friday to the state open meeting law, allowing towns to conduct business by video-conference, with access for the public.
Chilmark selectmen met daily this week, and formally declared a townwide state of emergency.
"It is mostly a message to say: there's a problem, everybody pay attention," town administrator Tim Carroll said Wednesday.
All Chilmark town employees are now working from home. No decision has been made yet about whether to postpone the annual town meeting, scheduled for April 27.
Tisbury selectmen plan to meet every week and have given town administrator Jay Grande broad authority to respond to needs in town departments. The town has indefinitely suspended all advisory meetings, closed all parks, and moved the annual town meeting from March 31 to April 30.
"The Island has always had a practice of caring for neighbors and friends, and I've seen it already," selectman Melinda Loberg said. "And I think that kind of action will get us through."
At meetings this week selectmen in Edgartown and Oak Bluffs outlined detailed emergency preparedness and continuation of service plans. Sitting in chairs with at least six feet of space between them, selectmen listened as town administrators discussed worst-case scenarios around the coronavirus.
Edgartown town administrator James Hagerty, a former Marine, is leading the mobilization effort, which includes town employees working from home. Edgartown fire chief Alex Schaeffer said he was coordinating with town health agent Matt Poole on a variety of matters, including consulting with Stop & Shop to ensure the grocery would stay open.
The Edgartown annual town meeting set for April 14 will likely be delayed, selectmen said, with a final decision due by March 30.
The town has closed its water and wastewater departments, as well as the council on aging at The Anchors. The council will provide takeout food through a service window as well as mobile delivery, according to the plan.
Oak Bluffs took nearly identical measures, closing its town hall, harbor master, highway and shellfish departments, as well as the council on aging. Meals on Wheels service will be maintained through Elder Services. The town has also closed its parks and recreation, pickleball, basketball and skate park facilities for a month.
Police chief Erik Blake said the department was exploring the possible use of hotels — either the Surfside or the Winnetu — as potential shelters for residents who have contracted the virus if needed. He said he was in contact with the hospital and that a plan is in the works to create drive-by testing so any presumptive cases could be tested outside the confines of the hospital. A similar plan was discussed by Tisbury fire chief John Schilling with his selectmen.
The West Tisbury annual town meeting set for April 14 has been postponed to May 12. One day after their Chilmark neighbors, West Tisbury selectmen also voted to declare a townwide state of emergency Wednesday.
Aquinnah town administrator Jeffrey Madison said in an email that the town hall would be closed until further notice, and would likely not open until May at the earliest.
Tribal chairwoman Cheryl Andrews-Maltais said the tribal administration building in Aquinnah is closed with staff tele-working, and the tribe has instituted a ban on meetings and gatherings. She said critical services would continue under WHO and CDC guidelines.
"Our Direct Services Team are in contact with our elders and vulnerable population to ascertain their needs and assist where we can," Ms. Andrews-Maltais said in a text message.
Island police and fire departments are open, but public safety leaders are urging residents to only visit stations in the event of an emergency, and to use discretion when requesting services.
"We have to cut down on some of the access between officers and the public," Edgartown police chief Bruce McNamee said. "We are asking people to refrain from coming to the police station and to just call us."
Chief Blake in Oak Bluffs said officers were taking precautions to keep the virus out of the prison and police department.
Tisbury police chief Mark Saloio and Chief Schilling said their departments were taking similar precautions, noting the importance of keeping emergency personnel healthy.
Chief Saloio also said things have been noticeably calm, with most people staying home.
"If anything, the town is extremely quiet," Mr. Saloio said. "From what I can see in my community, people seem to be very responsible."
The Dukes County communications center has been locked down, Sheriff Bob Ogden said, with no individuals permitted in the building except staff. The Edgartown jail has suspended programs with outside contractors or volunteers, although online learning programs will continue. Inmate visitation will be conducted via land line telephones.
The Edgartown courthouse, which includes state trial courts and the Registry of Deeds, was formally closed by the state Supreme Judicial Court Tuesday, district court clerk Liza Williamson confirmed. Only emergency court proceedings will be allowed, and pending trials and other legal matters will be continued until late April. Arraignments are being conducted by teleconference.
The Martha's Vineyard Commission office at the Olde Stone Building in Oak Bluffs is open by appointment only. Meetings are canceled through April 16.
Dukes County offices are also closed, with the county accessible by phone and email, county administrator Martina Thornton said.
Will Sennott and Aaron Wilson contributed reporting.

Why on earth isn't the SSA taking temperatures of those boarding? How is the SSA any different than airlines? And with so many seasonal people now wanting to come here, it's the only sane thing to be doing. We are not immune just because we live on an island. Remember, "No man is ..."
March 17, 2020 - 11:16am
Thos Hodgson, WT
The SSA is nothing like an airline corporation. The ferry to MV travels a little over 4 miles, and slowly, as the crow flies. Airlines transport people all over the globe in a matter of hours. That's one difference. The SSA is not set up for testing passengers, and unfortunately, their record when it comes to doing new things is, well, "iffy". Screening would be a matter for the State to determine. There are a lot of roadblocks when it comes to SSA testing. The SSA is quoted in the article: "We have not reduced any service levels at this time. We will continue to run until we are told not to by the state or federal government or until we are unable to do so due to sickness or other external factors," spokesman Sean Driscoll said in an email. "Potential screening of passengers has been discussed at a strictly theoretical level, but a number of logistical, operational and legal challenges would come into play. At this point we are not planning to implement screening unless directed to do so by state or federal authorities."
March 17, 2020 - 1:37pm
Concerned, Edgrtown
Of course the SSA is transportation and they should be monitoring temperatures/coughs before people board this waterline (vs airline) be ouse they transport many people in a single vessel. It makes no difference if it's 4 miles or 750 miles. Of course the SSA isn't "set up" for testing: BUT they can do this very easily. The whole point of self-distancing and quarantining is to remove yourself from strangers who may be infected. The only way you can know that people traveling from WH to VH is this initial screening. Where are these travelers coming from? Who have they been in contact with? Sitting on a boat, touching surfaces, is exactly like being on an airline between Boston and LaGuardia -- about 45 minutes flight or boat time.
Mr. B, Chilmark
And I hope that if the SSA is checking people boarding in WH, that they would check those leaving the island and deny them boarding if they have a temperature. Or a cough. After all, you want to protect people on the boat...right?
March 18, 2020 - 8:58am
Islander Too
I very much doubt the SSA has the legal right to test anyone. Any more than it would be legal to set up a testing point at the Bourne or Sagamore Bridges. The SSA is part of the state highway system.
Juleann, West Tisbury
Checking peoples' temperatures is something of a fool's errand since one can have the virus, be contagious and transmit it to others for two weeks before developing a temperature. Once a representative portion of the population has been swab-tested -- which, at the rate the Feds are able to supply the tests, will take until August -- then taking temps may have some value. Until then, everyone should consider themselves a potential carrier and behave responsibly.
Lorraine, Edgartown
Agree, checking temperatures is akin to locking the barn door after the horse escapes....it is apparent that most people, from their comments, are not understanding this virus. Please, listen to the experts we have and, from what my qualified sources are telling me, doing the right thing for us all. I stress, qualified, which means course work has been done and passed and that is qualified. Not what we may think is qualified from our not understanding. Self isolation is important, do it now, do it right, cut this virus off at the pass.

Difficult times are ahead for our Island town governments. Edgartown town administrator James Hagerty is a leader. I've known the late Dr. Nevin's grandson since he was a kid. He's a young no-nonsense Ted Morgan type of person. I have faith in James. He'll make competent decisions learned from his military experiences. He's a Ted II.

History of table tennis
Birthplace of games using rackets, figures, balls held in the special court is East Asia. In China, on the walls of the summer residence of the emperors, in the Summer Palace, you can see a picture showing that in the Middle Ages there were playing a game resembling table tennis. Japanese researchers sport argue that at the same times in Japan there was a popular game that can be considered a primitive form of table tennis.
The great development of the game with the ball got in the Renaissance in the the towns and villages of Europe, especially in Italy. There, in Italy, was born prototype of the modern tennis. This game quickly became popular in France and England. First, the ball is thrown over the net with his hand, and then to cushion put on the gloves, which soon began in the sew wooden plate to cushion the blow. They were replaced by rackets made of wood, which soon began to strap a parchment. And only in the XVI century on the racket strings there. Began about the same "evolution" of rackets for table tennis, however, it happened much later. And in modern France and still in many villages are playing a game similar to tennis rackets, which stretched parchment paper.
For a long time tennis has two varieties: one game was played outdoors, the other - indoors, in a specially arranged for this purpose halls. In England, the most developed lawn tennis, that is in the nature of tennis on grass pitches. This kind of game rapidly became popular in Europe, including in Russia. And to replace the game came in the premises of table tennis that developed in England in the late XIX century. First ball served as a cork from a champagne, then a rubber ball. Rackets were made of wood, covered with parchment, with a long handle, often inlaid with gold, ivory, precious woods. The new game was popular in aristocratic circles, among the fans of the game of cricket. Cricket previously considered child's play, as it is not built on a physical confrontation and does not require much effort. Play it could be in the the finest clothes, but it meets the needs of the move and entertainment. These same advantages possessed and table tennis, so he gained access to the noble gentlemen's clubs.
The turning point in the history of the game, according to the first president of the International Table Tennis Federation Ivor Montagu, was the use of celluloid balls, which in the the 90s of the last century Englishman D. Gibbs brought from America to play in the family. His friend, sporting goods merchant Jacques, acquired the patent and began to produce tables, rackets, balls. In England there was "ping-pong fever" (a play called "ping-pong", probably because of the characteristic sound of the ball hitting the paddle and table). This game quickly spread to Europe and then around the world, becoming a popular form of entertainment in cafes and restaurants.
"Ping pong fever" swept and Russia. This was evidenced by a picture in one of the rooms of the St. Petersburg magazine "Niva", which was released at the beginning of the XX century. It shows people playing ping-pong in a large residential building - in each of his room in the back rooms and even in the attic and basement. While in Russia have been created in the likeness of amateur clubs of English, in which Russian aristocrats indulged in this sports entertainment. Big fan of ping-pong table was, for example, Leo Tolstoy.
Gradually, defines the rules of the game. First was carried through to 30, 50 or 100 points. Counting system was unified in 1926. Since that time, the party continues until 21 points. Initially, the table tennis filing was made, as in the large, over his head. Now adopted a method innings, when the ball is directed primarily at the supply side, first found in Hungary, where at that time were very strong players, among which the most legendary Viktor Varna - record for most world title.
The great popularity of this game has led to the need to create the International Table Tennis Federation, which was done in 1926. In the same year have been held and the World Championships. Their organizers are faced with the problem of the duration of the meetings, as they could go in the amount of 20 hours. Ten years later, the International Federation has reduced the time a party of up to 20 minutes. According to current rules of the meeting may last no longer than 15 minutes, and then introduced the rule of "13 strokes." The essence of it is this: if the receiving 13 times correctly returns the ball to the enemy, to submit loses the point. Priority feed changes after drawing each point.
The biggest influence on the development of table tennis has had and still continuous improvement material rackets. Hungarian researcher tennis Dr. L. Orman in this process identifies four periods:
The period of formation - rackets were made of wood and parchment skin-tight, sometimes with the use of cork and other linings;
Classic - racquets of used in the the lining of hard rubber;
Transient (short) - a tough rubber was replaced by soft spongy;
Modern - rackets are made with double-layer overlays of the "sandwich".
Classical period as L. Orman says, began with a legendary event: "In the early 900s, in the era of rackets, covered with parchment or a cork grip, English athlete Hood on the eve of a competition went to the pharmacy to buy the powder from a headache . Delivery due to him put on a sheet of rubber pupyrchatoy (such sheets used in pharmacies already ten years). Driven by instant illumination, Hood bought rubber, stuck it on his racket, and the next day with a great advantage won an appointment. "However racket with rubber lining then spread has not received. To do this, it would take several years.
In a short time, the nature of the game has changed, become more athletic, more diverse in technique. From entertaining game turned into a sport, and it was finally established the name "ping-pong".
The use of foam rubber pads will greatly increase the strength of the rotation of the ball, but at the same time and slows down the game, making it monotonous. The most advanced coatings were invented by the Japanese. They consist of two layers - the top of the rubber (bumps up or down) and the intermediate - sponge rubber. This racket provides an opportunity to fast play and give the ball a variety of strong rotation, as well as to reflect the ball. Since 1959, two-layer and hard racket, that is a racket without pads, officially considered the only option available for table tennis rackets.
New materials for rackets have significantly advance the development of means of table tennis. The most important role in this process was played by the invention of a new element - topspina. In 1961 at the World Championships Japanese, using rackets with pimples inside overlays (such overlays are also called "soft"), began to carry out forehand with a very strong top spin. Strongly hooked ball flies to the opponent a bit too slowly, but bouncing very quickly and unexpectedly out of the way. Without such training to take the ball is almost impossible. New blow, called "devil ball from Tokyo" or "topspin", was immediately seen worldwide. Although its inventors hold the racket grip "pen", it turned out that topspin especially convenient for Europeans, and not only the right, but the left. It topspin on the left represents now the main argument in a dispute with representatives of the European school players of Asian style. In the first row of tennis players moved owning this blow, - physical development, with strong muscles, moving, hardy. Thanks topspinu table tennis has become one of the most technically sophisticated sports comprehend the secrets which can only by intense prolonged exercise.
Topspin not only enriched the game forwards, but also made significantly change tactics players defensive style. To reflect topspiny trimming, should be able to just turn the ball powerfully in the opposite direction very quickly move around the court in a timely manner to move from defense to attack and vice versa. To neutralize superstrong rotating balls used lining type "antitopspin." Material for them is a hard rubber surface than normal smooth "sandwich" in its structure more loose, perforated. This racquet to defend well, but it is difficult to attack, as you have to put more effort. To be able to attack the defenders began to use different types lining. Imperceptibly changing racket in his hand by the parties, such players have to confound opponents, who had all the time to adapt to different rebound from different linings. By the same method was applied not only advocates, but also some of the attackers and players mixed style.
To put all competitors on an equal footing, the International Federation decided to change the color overlays racquets. Now on the International Regulations for one pad racket should be red, the other - black. If a player covers with different properties, you can see at what point used one or the other pad.
No matter how formidable topspin, it is only part of the wealth of this game techniques that convincingly demonstrate the Chinese athletes, the hallmark of style which is used not topspinov (though they own them perfectly), and fast, flat strokes designed to forestall rivals.
Chinese tennis players made their debut on the world stage in 1953. Soon, they were recognized as the best in the world, but the "cultural revolution" for a certain period ended their ascent. At this time, the world pedestal captured players, the main reception which was just topspin. Among the most famous names in Europe: Hungary I. Yonera, T. Klampara, G. Gergely; Swedes C. Johansson and S. Bengtsson; Yugoslavs Shurbeka D. and A. Stipanchicha. Back in 1971 on the world stage, Chinese athletes were forced to solve the problem of super-strong upper rotations. And they decided it originally. Nothing in principle without changing the game, the Chinese part of its many tennis players have trained the European manner, and thus, it has become customary for them. They experimented with overlays and were the original creators of the playing surface, which received a sports colloquially known as "grass". Pad is made of synthetic material, covered with long pimples, which give the ball bounces unexpected path.
But most importantly, the Chinese tennis players have become more elaborately develop and use his speed, while enriching their game all the new elements. With this ultra-fast game slow topspin opponent becomes an easy target for a strike, as well as deceptive movement.
Again becoming the strongest in the world in 1981, Chinese athletes continue to study hard all new, adopt any valuable experience in every way to promote research in this area.
In the Soviet Union on the development of table tennis has influenced the Chinese manner of playing and European school, and flavor it brought vast geography games in the USSR: a long tradition were the Baltic republics, the Caucasus, famous athletes grew up in the Ukraine, Byelorussia. Among Soviet tennis great success and achieved immense popularity Zoe Rudnova, Stanislav Gomozkov, Tatiana Ferdman, Valentina Popova. "Epidemic" ping-pong in Russia began with the St. Petersburg (then Leningrad), where he began to take the first competition and brought up the first champions.
Table tennis and still remains popular in Russia, Europe and other parts of the world. To this day, the athletes improve their playing techniques, preparing for a little competition, and major championships. Join this sport is not difficult and is never too late. And you can start right now, having become acquainted with the basics of playing technique.

Today's podcast features the Psymposia Stories from Boulder, CO. A wide-range of people gathered under Naropa University to share their personal tales.
Posted in Psychedelics, Psymposia, Storytelling.
Much love to the salon and a good start to salon2.
Might could use a tweak on your mic work as i'm having a real hard time hearing what your interviewees are saying. Mic them up!! Get that mic in front of the person talking and have them speak directly into it. There is no substitute.
Even a cheap lavalier clipped to their lapel would sound better with much less room echo. Don't have an external mic? Search amazon for "podcasting microphones" and you'll get an overview in all price ranges. Jazz hands on the gargler will get you extensive reviews, guides etc.
Lacking that, use an eyefone/antroid. Horrible audio, but if they're speaking directly into the device, at least the speech will be intelligible.
I've listened to hundreds of hours of Psychedelic Salon recordings. Many sourced from ancient crusty cassette tapes, plagued with audio print-thru, and ambient audio artifacts of their own… studiously cleaned up by Lozo in audacity (or whatever) but still pretty "rough" in the final production release. Even these, complete with Terrance's preternatural sips of water, sound better that the 2017 Boulder recording session.
I love the contemporary effort you're making. Good info. Well informed in a situation where information about this and that are more available than ever before (and *you're* helping making this happen!) Let's get the tech boosted to 2017 as well and get the production values up to muster.
Alternately, to avoid copyright dilution, Lorenezo could instead rename Psychedelic Salon2 to something like Psychedelic Saloon…. 🙂 Then it wouldn't matter so much. Some episodes sound like crap, some are decent, some are interviews with altered characters, some w/players trying to work a scam on some someone or something. Like a bar; where sometimes it's hard to hear with all the ambient racket.


This is a very traditional and authentic Gasagase Payasam (Khus khus Kheer) recipe, which is very popular in karnataka. Drinking this kheer before going to bed will assure a very good night sleep.
Fry the rice and Poppy Seeds until it gives a good aroma. Keep it aside.
To clean the jaggery, add little water and heat it. Once It is melted, strain it with clean cloth or strainer.
Now grind the coconut, fried gasagase,rice and cardamom into fine paste by adding little water.
Transfer the grind mix to a pan, cleaned jaggery syrup and remaining water and boil it on a medium heat.
Once it starts boiling, a minute more is enough and then turn off the heat.
Drink this hot Gasagase Payasa , before going to bed to get a good night sleep.
I used your recipe for preparing gasagase paayasa last two times and it came out very well. All the friends loved it too. The only variation I made was, I added some 30-40 soaked almonds, removed their skin and ground them along with gasagase, akki and tengina kaayi to a fine paste. It gives a good taste and consistency and is also good for your health. Thanks for the recipe.

Which NHL team has not won the Stanley Cup the longest?
Which NHL team has not won the Stanley Cup the longest? With a first-round exit in the 2022 playoffs, the Maple Leafs tied the record for longest Stanley Cup drought in NHL history, matching the New York Rangers' mark from 1940 to 1994. After the Maple Leafs, the Buffalo Sabres and Vancouver Canucks share the second-longest Cup drought at 51 years.
How many NHL teams have never been to the Stanley Cup? The Nashville Predators are making their first trip to the Stanley Cup Final.
Has any NHL team never made the playoffs? The longest currently active NHL Playoffs drought belongs to the Buffalo Sabres, who have gone 11 seasons without making the Playoffs.
Who has never made it to the Stanley Cup? In the NHL there are 11 teams that have been unable to capture hockey's ultimate prize, the Stanley Cup: Vancouver Canucks, Buffalo Sabres, San Jose Sharks, Winnipeg Jets, Florida Panthers, Nashville Predators, Arizona Coyotes, Minnesota Wild, Columbus Blue Jackets, Vegas Golden Knights and the Ottawa Senators (modern
Which NHL team has not won the Stanley Cup the longest? – Additional Questions
Which NHL team has made the playoffs the most?
What team has won the Stanley Cup the most?
Did the Minnesota North Stars ever win a Stanley Cup?
Did Kansas City have an NHL team?
Why are the Dallas Stars green?
What happened to the Quebec Nordiques?
Is Toronto getting another NHL team?
Why are the Canadiens called the Habs?
Why is there no NHL team in Quebec?
What city needs an NHL team?
Will Canada ever get another NHL team?
Which NHL team is most likely to relocate?
What is the smallest NHL market?
Will Atlanta ever get an NHL team?
Which NHL team has the most consecutive playoff appearances all time? The Boston Bruins have the record for most consecutive playoff appearances at 29 seasons.
Despite their last championship coming in 1993, the Montreal Canadiens have an extremely comfortable lead for first place among title winners in NHL history. Montreal, an "Original Six" club, has 23 Stanley Cup championships since 1918, which is 11 more than the next-closest team.
The North Stars played 2,062 regular season games and made the NHL playoffs 17 times, including two Stanley Cup Finals appearances, but were ultimately unable to win the Stanley Cup. After the 1992–93 season, the franchise moved to Dallas, and is now known as the Dallas Stars.
The Kansas City Scouts were a professional ice hockey team in the National Hockey League (NHL) from 1974 to 1976. In 1976, the franchise relocated to Denver, and became the Colorado Rockies. In 1982, the Rockies relocated to New Jersey where they have since been known as the New Jersey Devils.
No, the Dallas Stars do not wear green jerseys. And no, the fans do not resemble a "swarm of green." The color is victory green and it should be addressed properly. It's also a renewable resource. In other words, the victory green never dies.
The Nordiques played in the World Hockey Association (1972–1979) and the National Hockey League (1979–1995). The franchise was relocated to Denver, Colorado in May 1995 and renamed the Colorado Avalanche. They played their home games at the Colisée de Québec from 1972 to 1995.
Despite the talks, Daly reportedly stated the NHL is "not currently considering expansion nor do we have any intention or desire to relocate an existing franchise."
The "H" stands for "hockey", not "Habitants," a popular misconception. According to NHL.com, the first man to refer to the team as "the Habs" was American Tex Rickard, owner of the Madison Square Garden, in 1924. Rickard apparently told a reporter that the "H" on the Canadiens' sweaters was for "Habitants".
The main reason is because their arena was very outdated and they needed to build a new one. But, the owner didn't have enough money and the provincial government in Quebec wouldn't help fund one. At the time, in 1995, the exchange rate between Canada (CAD) and the US (USD) was brutal towards Canadian teams.
Since losing the Nordiques in the 1990s, Quebec City has constantly been in demand of an NHL team. Eager to have a team back, commissioner Gary Bettman has expressed interest in bringing the NHL back, including conversations with representatives of the Quebec government.
It's doubtful, according to the business economics. So hockey fans, enjoy your favourite existing Canadian NHL team. Welcome the Kraken as a new rival, particularly for the Canucks. Things aren't likely to change any time soon.
Florida is probably the most likely option. Nobody cares about hockey in Florida. The Panthers are valued at $295 million, the second lowest in the NHL, and almost always rank last in NHL attendances.
Buffalo is the smallest of the 24 American N.H.L. markets. Raleigh, N.C., home of the Hurricanes, is the second smallest.
Fast forward 19 years, and the NHL awarded another expansion franchise to Atlanta to begin play in the 1999-2000 season. Again the owner, Time Warner, also owned the Hawks.
Two misses and you're out for NHL in Atlanta.

The majority of street kids in Lebanon are Turkmen. They speak Turkish as their first language and Arabic as their second language. We have been doing outreach to them since April 2010.
We are needing more help with this project. Although, it would be prefered to have some people who already speak Arabic, it is difficult to find Lebanese recruits as there exists a lot of racisim against the Turkmen from the Lebanese.
We are looking for people who want to help and love these kids. Even if you do not know how to speak Arabic you can be a big help.
Basically, what we do is... We have meetings with them throughout the week, feeding them then talking to them about Christ and then teaching them a bit about how to read in Arabic.
Most of these kids have been working since they were 5 years old!
Blessings to you, as you consider this outreach.
(how many people can come) We are needing atleast 3 more people for this outreach.
(age, abilities, qualifications) 18 and up. We are needing people who are good with kids, and would like to try to learn either Arabic or Turkish with the kidos. Although, long term folks would be better we are also willing to accept short termers for atleast a 6 week commitment.
room & board...) The cost from the States to Lebanon is usually under 1000 dollars each way. Single guys have housing provided, however single women we will have to find accommodations. It might be possible that they can stay with a family for 6 weeks, if not about 200 dollars a month for housing.

IDEAS CITY, a biennial festival, brought more than 50,000 people to the Bowery for each of its past two runs. Did those people leave the festival enlightened? We can't know for sure, but we can say that, at the very least, it got lots of people thinking about the roles they play as urban residents in New York and beyond. The festival consists of talks, performances, screenings, art exhibits, and other activities that take place over a three-day period. Each event tackles the subjects of art, civic life, politics, the environment, technology, or architecture — or some interdisciplinary combination of these. For example, at "Wasted Food x Wasted Space" on Friday morning, conferences about waste management take place over a breakfast of "rescued" food in a garden pavilion made entirely of garbage. The entire festival is the brainchild of the New Museum, so you know you are in good hands.

Pizza is the world's go-to chow — even in a war zone.
Martin Luther King told of his growing nightmares and his enduring dreams in the rolling, hypnotic cadences of the rural preacher. But it was the humane, incorruptible mystique of the man that won the crowd, his crescendo phrases winning affirmations of "amen" and "Say it, brother" again and again.

The coolant heat storage tank systemstores hot coolant and feeds it via theelectric water pump automatically to warmthe engine as required. This system helpsgenerate clean emissions. To confirm thecoolant heat storage system check, thepump may operate automatically with thevehicle stopped (in the "OFF" mode).
Although the pump may operate andcause noise while the vehicle is stopped,this does not indicate a malfunction.
The coolant in this tank is hot evenif the engine and radiator are cold.
For replacement of the coolant,contact your Toyota dealer.
Do not touch bolts (9 pieces)painted in yellow.
In case the bolts are loosened,there is a risk of hot coolant comingout from inside the tank.
When this has any malfunction, thesurface of this tank gets hot. Toprevent burning yourself, do nottouch the tank.

This is for the preparation for goodemission.
