Late Night (2019)::rating::3.5::rating::3.5

[su_dropcap]L[/su_dropcap]ate Night depicts two women who find themselves marginalized for two very different reasons.  Runaway success, coupled with her own insulated ego, has rendered talk-show host Katherine Newbury (Emma Thompson) into an inert and irrelevant figure.  Molly (Mindy Kaling), Katherine’s newest writer, has to prove herself as more than a mere “diversity hire,” while also silencing the smirking sarcasm of her frat boy colleagues.  Late Night has a similarly difficult task:  It has to make its point without sermonizing, be funny without resorting to the easy punchlines, and build enough dramatic ballast without being too cornball.  The movie doesn’t quite nail it across the board, but Kaling and her cohorts deliver an intelligent and provocative film that stands above most of the other summer fare.

The film sets up Katherine as a friendless, frozen individual who identifies her staff by numbers instead of names, much like someone ordering off a fast food menu.  Her cruel confidence has radiated throughout the show itself, stalling the production in a creative doldrum.  An outgoing employee slams Katherine as a woman-hating feminist, a poisonous dart that seeps into her blood.  She presses her handlers to bring a woman aboard her all-male crew, no matter what it takes.

Enter Molly Patel, fresh from a Mary Tyler Moore-style romp through Manhattan.  She glides through her job interview with the guileless glee of a true bumpkin.  Molly doesn’t have any professional experience, but she does knock ’em dead over the intercom at the chemical plant where she works.  Molly gets the job because she’s a woman, an Indian, and present in the building, all at the same time.  Unfortunately, these factors also doom her to suffer in silence, as the insufferable clique of Harvard Lampooners label her as nothing more than a lucky fool.  It turns out that Molly has a talent for telling truth to power, and her blunt criticisms quickly knock Katherine off her creative axis.  With the threat of forced retirement looming, both women slowly realize that they can fill a symbiotic need in each other’s lives.

I remember reading an article about Saturday Night Liveset during its mid-90s slump.  It detailed the struggle within the writers’ room, as an established head writer had to wrangle the freewheeling cockiness of Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, David Spade, etc.  The show had sagged because so many of its participants believed that all they had to do was show up.  Late Night does a great job of depicting a similar complacency, wherein Katherine must confront the fact her own tires are spinning in the same mud.  Kaling, who wrote the script, captures the alternately tedious and terrifying atmosphere of late night television with spot-on perfection.

Kaling and Thompson deliver knock-out performances as two women who must professionally complete each other:  Just as Molly must convince Katherine to become more relatable by stripping the varnish from her public persona, Katherine’s withering criticisms force Molly to grow more polished and assertive.  Both of these transformations are compelling to watch, as is Katherine’s fractured relationship with her ailing husband (John Lithgow).  Amy Ryan also scores as the network’s shrewd president, who also might be the only woman who can match Katherine in a contest of lethal put-downs.  Late Night features outstanding performances from top to bottom.

All this analysis probably makes the film seem a lot drier than it really is.  Late Night is actually a damn funny movie, especially when it brings the sting of truth.  Both leads land their jokes with impeccable comic timing, whether that humor is sharp and scathing or big and broad.  The movie grows a little soggy in its second half, and even at 102 minutes, it feels long.  Still, I gotta say it: It’s a refreshing reminder of what good actors can do with a script that isn’t afraid to be funny and smart at the same time.

Inside the box score: FSU 101, Syracuse 90

New, 9 comments

A look at the double OT thriller

NCAA Basketball: Syracuse at Florida State Melina Vastola-USA TODAY Sports
  1. Syracuse entered the game with the 14th best defense in the nation. Against their lengthy zone, it’s important to maximize the possessions where you can attack before the zone has time to set up. FSU accomplished that by forcing 19 Syracuse turnovers. Several of these turnovers were live-ball, and FSU was able to score 13 fast break points, compared to just four for Syracuse.
  2. Trent Forrest was singled out in the post game for his contributions in his first career start. He repeatedly was able to get inside the Syracuse zone off the dribble, and this led to seven assists. He also had a career high 11 rebounds. He was the first Seminole under 6’6” to grab double-digit rebounds in an ACC game since Aaron Thomas at Wake Forest four years ago.
  3. Florida State did a good job getting the ball to the foul line against the zone. Trent Forrest played that role a bit, but primarily it was Braian Angola. Angola’s job after the catch was to either a) lob to the rim, 2) make a diagonal pass to the short corner, or D) shoot. Four times he hooked up with Christ Koumadje for a dunk, including on what may have been the most important possession of the game. With four seconds left in the first half, FSU inbounded the ball and found Angola in the middle. There was hardly any time to work with, but Angola calmly pump faked to draw the defense, and then found Koumadje at the rim for the buzzer beating dunk.
  4. In the double OT game, three Seminoles played at least 40 minutes: Angola (46), Phil Cofer (45), and Forrest (40). Now the ‘Noles have a quick turnaround with a road game against Boston College. The Eagles, meanwhile, didn’t even play an ACC game this weekend. Instead they hosted a horrible Dartmouth team, and cruised to an easy, low energy, win. With Terance Mann and PJ Savoy likely to miss the BC game, the ‘Noles will need the fresh legs of MJ Walker (14 minutes), Mfiondu Kabengele (14), and Ike Obiagu (6).
  5. FSU won 101-90 in a 90 possession game. The 1.13 points per possession scored by Florida State was the 2nd most this year vs Syracuse. Through five games, FSU has the 4th most efficient offense in the ACC.

Aliou Bah commits to Florida State

New, 46 comments

Lineman has a high ceiling.

The Florida State Seminoles football program got a nice boost Friday evening when IMG Academy offensive tackle prospect Aliou Bah committed:

Bah, who stands at 6’6 and weighs 325 pounds and has a high 3-star rating (87) from the 247 Sports Composite List, released his top six in May, which included the Noles, along with the Florida Gators, Oklahoma Sooners, Penn State Nittany Lions, Texas Longhorns, and Texas A&M Aggies.

Here’s what our Josh Pick wrote back in May 2021:

After announcing his top eight back in November 2020, 2022 offensive tackle Aliou Bah narrowed his list down to six, listing them as his final contenders.

Bah, who transferred to IMG Academy in Bradenton, FL from Memphis, TN, released the list on March 28, naming the Florida State Seminoles, Penn State Nittany Lions, Oklahoma Sooners, Texas A&M Aggies, Texas Longhorns and Florida Gators as finalists in the competition for his services.

A notable name missing? Ohio State, who some had pegged as the favorite for Bah.

The 2022 prospect was originally listed as a composite four-star according to 247Sports, but a reluctancy on the service’s end to give him the fourth star on their own rankings has led to a slip in his composite score, which now has him as a three-star (87) recruit.

AMD Epyc CPUs Claim 14 World Records With Red Hat's Help

(Image credit: AMD)

AMD's Epyc Rome processors were able to break world records in performance for various data center-specific workloads, using Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7 and RHEL 8 operating systems (OSes), the open-source software vendor announced this week.

According to Red Hat's blog post detailing the achievement, Red Hat's engineering team uses prototype hardware from partners to integrate partner-specific changes, which are then pushed upstream into supported RHEL OS versions. The company’s development and engineering teams have worked with AMD for more than a year on the testing and validation of the new Epyc processors, which resulted in several benchmarks using Red Hat's OSes.

The teams did a variety of benchmarks that covered SQL Server (TPC-H), Java performance (SPECjbb2015), IoT gateways (TPCx-IOT), busy database workloads (TPCx-V) and big data systems (TPCx-HS).

You can see the benchmark results shared by Red Hat below:

Cedit: Red Hat

Not surprisingly, Red Hat feels the new world records prove that its enterprise-focused OS excels at handling scalable workloads. Its software has proven itself even when running on hardware with a high number of cores, such as AMD’s new Epyc CPUs.

Red Hat also noted that its partners and customers have also begun to use RHEL 7 and 8 to do “extreme” workload benchmarks that push the scalability limits of the RHEL OSes, as well as the AMD CPUs.

Asus VG248QE: A 24-Inch, 144 Hz Gaming Monitor Under $300

OSD Setup And Calibration

The OSD has everything you need for a complete calibration, but the picture modes can cause a bit of confusion. The six presets are called Splendid, and each one enables and disables different options. The only one that allows all adjustments is Theater, so that’s where we’ll start our OSD tour.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, sRGB mode grays out all adjustments including Brightness and Contrast. While this mode has decent color accuracy, its brightness level is a little lower than we'd like. Oddly, we discovered the best calibration is possible in the Standard mode, and we'll tell you why at the end of this page.

We also figured out that, when you switch Splendid modes, the monitor resets the Brightness, Contrast, and Saturation controls to their defaults, even if you previously adjusted any of those settings. The workaround is to either choose one mode and use it exclusively, or record your settings in advance. Fortunately, the RGB and color temp settings are not affected.

Here’s where you’ll find the calibration controls. Depending on the Splendid mode you choose, Contrast reacts a little differently. In Standard, you can turn it up to 80 before any image detail is clipped. In Theater mode however, you have to turn it down to 35 to avoid clipping. This was the main reason we used Standard for our calibration.

If you use the Skin Tone Control, it only affects flesh tones. Primary and secondary colors don’t seem to change. In Standard, this control is grayed out. Smart View is a gamma and black level shifter. Turning it on makes the monitor brighter. But the gamma rises too, resulting in a washed-out image. Its intent is to improve off-axis viewing, which it does.

These are the RGB controls. Like most computer monitors, they start at their highest setting. We prefer to see them start in the middle to give maximum adjustment flexibility.

We usually set Sharpness to its lowest value. Like HP's E271i, though, this softens the image unacceptably. The default setting of 50 is just fine. Push it any higher and edge enhancement results.

Trace Free should be set to 100 for the quickest screen draw time. This visibly reduces motion blur and cuts response time in our tests by around two milliseconds.

ASCR is the dynamic contrast control, and should be left off.

You can manually select inputs if your VG248QE is connected to multiple sources. Otherwise, the monitor’s auto-sense function quickly detects the active input and switches accordingly.

In the System Setup menu, you’ll find the rest of the VG248QE's ergonomic functions. The Splendid Demo shows a split-screen of two modes, facilitating comparison. This is the only place to adjust the volume. There isn’t a hotkey among the control buttons. ECO Mode dims the backlight, which is convenient for use as a nighttime mode in a dark room, letting you leave all of your other image controls alone.

OSD Setup takes you to the sub-menu shown below. In the Language sub-menu, there are an astounding 21 choices. And Information pops up a window with the input signal’s resolution, refresh rate, input type, and monitor model number. All Reset returns everything to its factory state. Be careful with this one; there’s no “Are You Sure?” prompt. One press and all user-entered settings are erased.

The first three controls position the OSD and set its timeout value. It’s always nice to be able to get the menu off the center of the screen and away from test patterns. DDC/CI should be left on if you want to allow your computer to have two-way communication with the VG248QE. And transparency fades the menu out so you can see the image behind.

At first glance, Theater mode seems to be the best choice for calibration, since it unlocks all image adjustments. But the Contrast control, at its default setting of 80, clips information at the bright end of the scale. In fact, you have to turn it down to 35 to correct this, making the image look flat and dull. In Standard mode, however, you can run Contrast up to 80 without penalty. And you still have access to the RGB controls. There is no gamma setting in any mode, but that didn't have a negative effect on our test results. Unless you want to improve off-axis image quality, leave the Smart View option off. And again, we recommend leaving the ASCR dynamic contrast setting off as well.

  • CaptainTom
    I gotta wonder if 1 ms vs 5 ms really makes a difference...
  • ff6shadow
    I own this. Bought when it was first available. Great monitor for gaming. I use 2x GTX Titans with it.
  • iam2thecrowe
    i don't like the sound of this dithering BS, i guess that's why its cheap....
    if I have $300 dollars I will not buy for 24 inch "TN" screen
    IPS is much better then TN
  • Axonn
    People who think 144 Hz is more important than an 8-bit panel are in for a big, big fail.
  • ryude
    This monitor uses PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) for the backlight, which causing flickering. The only 144hz monitor that does not use PWM is the BenQ XL2420TE.
  • Plusthinking Iq
    they only sell BenQ XL2420T version in my country, so i bought the asus for the double pwm hz. pwm, the scourge og the lcd monitor.
  • CraigN
    ryude - yes, it uses PWM, however, as an owner of one of these monitors, I have not noticed any flickering at all. It's a really solid performing monitor. That same PWM comes in real handy when running in Lightboost mode for even more reductions to input lag.

    CaptainTom, 1ms makes a huge difference over 5ms. I didn't think it would at first until I bought one of these. Next to my old 24" HDTV that was my monitor for awhile, the difference is insane.

  • CraigN
    PS , Christian, your SmartBuy award photo at the end of the article is the wrong ASUS monitor ;) Also, would you guys mind releasing the ICC profile you guys calibrated for your tests?
  • Turik
    The final picture is not of the VG248QE?

What Black Folks deserve: my response on race, poverty and the American Dream

Recently I saw a post on a facebook page that references black folks' seeming entitlement, welfare mentality and 'self-induced' poverty. The implication was that they get what they deserve. This was my response. I wanted to post it here in case someone who held a similar mindset to this particular gentleman happened across this page. The issue is more complicated than people think. These are my views. His comments are not included and my comments have been edited slightly for ease of understanding.

I had a job that required occasional visits to the Appalachian community, and poverty is not characteristic of one particular race. Whites in Appalachia suffer the same plight as African Americans for the same reasons...they've been marginalized. And while I agree with you, society favors those who are 'productive.' I don't agree with you that it's an easy problem to fix. The plight of the Black community is not just a result of themselves or them not taking action etc. It's a complex system of racism, politics, lack of access to equal resources etc. Once society sees a group as inferior, a system is created that makes it difficult for them to reach equality. And some people want it that way. In fact, and I don't know your heart so only you can answer, but people who come on these boards and spout evil things toward minorities are the ones who don't see blacks etc as equal and some of the people in power hold that same mindset. Do you see the danger here? If you don't see black people as, or fear black people becoming equal, you deny them opportunities and impede their path. And it's been that way for generations. I hope you see the point. It's much more complicated than we can discuss here but before long a system is created that says, I will deny you equal opportunity because you are inferior and because you are inferior I will create a system to 'help' that is wholly based on my belief that you are inferior. Additionally, because I don't believe that you are my equal, I will leave areas in which you live and refuse to let my children be educated with you, thus creating a breakdown in the pipeline through which minorities could better themselves, ie access to decent housing, gainful employment and quality schools. And you can insert poor whites in the same equation and have the same outcome as we see in Appalachia. And even women to a lesser degree. These are the residuals of a Patriarchal society.

There's a generational gap here that should also be a part of the conversation. While whites were creating businesses and grooming their sons to one day take them over, black people were picking cotton. While whites were buying real estate that would set future generations on the path to success or entering Ivy League schools, blacks were prohibited from buying property and denied access to those same Ivy League schools. The few brave souls that had had enough and wanted a better future for themselves and their families had to petition the court to go the their local community college. And if my knowledge of history serves me, many of them were still denied. Odds are if your grandfather went to Harvard you wouldn't find yourself in poverty. Education creates a path to wealth that others who didn't have the same opportunity would be hard pressed to create.

Fast forward to now. Opportunities exist for minorities to improve their situation but we still can't deny the complexity. We still can't deny that it's easier for the children of white people whose father owned a business to create a better life for themselves while the black father was denied a loan at the bank. We still can't deny that because of racism, the inner city school has no heat and a leaking roof and young children can't focus on being educated while the caucasian suburban child sits in comfort and has the latest technology to facilitate his growth and development. And socially speaking, we can't deny the fact that the achievement of the American Dream is up close and visible to many caucasian children via parents, aunts and uncles and even television, while examples are not so visible for the inner city kid. How can you emulate what you've never seen?

The question is what now? How do we inspire more children to reach? How do we shift the mindset of those who look down on minorities and blame them for their situation without considering all the factors? How do we get people who hold bigoted or closed minded views to open their doors and get to know their neighbors instead of allowing stereotypes to fill them with fear, forcing them to move out of communities when minorities move in? We do it by challenging our own beliefs about one another. We do it by esteeming our brother as ourselves, by wanting the best for all human beings. We do that by inspiring people to believe in themselves, instead of condemning. We do that by giving opportunities where others would deny? And we do that by understanding one another and extending grace and compassion. I, myself grew up in poverty, and agreed, hard work is a valuable tool in creating a better future, but poverty is a vortex that is misunderstood by many and until we all take responsibility and formulate a systematic approach and stop blaming one another for it's existence, it will never be solved. Not for Black, White, Latino or anybody else.

And I will add that in some areas of the black community and Appalachia there isn't even a grocery store that sells fresh produce. Children who don't have the proper nutrients don't have proper brain development which can affect learning abilities. People with lower cognitive abilities have lower income levels. As I said, it's much bigger and way more complex than just pointing a finger at one race.

I understand the anger and frustration...but losing hope is not the answer. The answer lies in doing what we can to help, each to the other. It's the narrative that hurts us. Most people buy into the narrative about the other without question..."they're devils" or "they're lazy," and keep repeating it over and over-- at the dinner table, at the water cooler, at the pub on the weekend and perhaps the most sinister because of virility...on social media.

Each of us has the power and responsibility to think for ourselves. To not let a politician or a neighbor or anyone else decide what we choose to believe. We have the power to understand that the system is broken for a myriad of reasons and no single person, black or white has full responsibility for it and with that understanding we can rise above hate. Hate and animosity toward one another is definitely not going to solve anything. Grace, love and community is our only hope. And while an individual may not be able to change the system single handedly, we have the power to change mindsets. And that is the basis of any real change. And while some benefit more than others, we are all victims of the system that has been created. It either forces us to hate out of stereotypes and ignorance, denies us opportunity, forces people to become scapegoats, fills us with fear of the other, robs us of hope for our future...something. We are all touched by it in some way. It behooves us to come together to work to change it.

Michael is an incredible designer, and has been a great fit for our project. He just gets it in a way that can’t be taught. My goal was to pay Toptal to find me a high quality designer for my project, and that is exactly what happened. It was easy. Being able to see the portfolio work on Toptal’s platform is what gave me the infomation I needed to choose Michael. I have nothing but good things to say about Toptal and am looking forward to using Toptal for other projects in the future.

Edward Daniel, Co-Founder

I've worked very closely with Martina for over a year and have to say she is one of the best people I have ever worked with. Instead of simply following instructions blindly, she thinks through the task at hand, becoming a thought partner to help with whatever the project may be. Besides being super talented at design, she possesses specific qualities that make her exceptional to work with given the fast paced nature of being a startup. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, professional designer who doesn't need much direction to hit the ground running.

Sahil Khanna, Sr. Manager, Marketing

LeanTaaS, Inc.

Darko did a great job figuring out the user architecture for our concept, which led him to produce terrific wireframes. His knowledge of usability and design was a perfect match for the outside voice we needed to help jumpstart our project. We would certainly recommend him and work with him again in the future.

Rich Danker, Founder

Carlos has the unique talent of blending both quantitative and qualitative research to keenly identify UX challenges and opportunities. He thinks methodically, emphatically, and holistically to produce data-driven strategies and well-executed designs. Over the past 8 years of working with fully or partially distributed teams, Carlos manages working remotely far better than anyone I've encountered because of his strong communication and presentation skills. He is the first on my list the next time I need a UX designer.

Michelle Krogmeier, Project Manager

Union Station

Rafael is an amazing designer. His aesthetic sense is spot on, and he seems to be able to anticipate our needs before we even know what they are. He's taken the time to understand both our company and our clientele, and his solutions are consistently in-line with our values, interests, and our customers' needs. He delivers on time (if not earlier), works quickly, is well organized, and very effective. He's a pleasure to work with, and we're very happy to have found him through Toptal.

Ethan Brooks, CTO

Langlotz Patent & Trademark Works, Inc.

Toptal gave us access to the best designers out there. They’re not easy to find. Those designers integrated very quickly with our existing teams. They very quickly understood our business case and the value of our solution. Toptal really allowed us to focus on building the best possible product and save a lot of time on the typical administrative pains that goes with it -- specifically, finding the best talent. Toptal designers were very responsive, always online -- and that made life very easy for us. We have ambitious goals on how to grow the application and already Toptal has been a key contributor to that success.

Thierry Jakircevic, General Manager, Digital Solutions, Bridgestone Head Office, Tokyo

Bridgestone Corporation

We had an amazing experience working with our Toptal designer. In only two weeks, we accomplished what would've taken most companies 3 months to complete. We also enjoyed working with the Toptal team to make sure we were paired up with the right designer that would fit both our company culture and working style.

Ted Blosser, Head of Sales and Customer Success

Dean blew us away. He ranks right up there as one of the top five designers of the hundreds I have worked with in the past. He listened, was totally professional, and came up with a 3D rotating cube design completely on his own. We didn't even ask for it, and yet it has become the centerpiece of our app and how users engage with it right off the bat. What he produced inspired all of us at Votify, and put us on track for launch and investor funding.

As the end-time approaches, more odd teachings are popping up, literally like “weeds”.
Instead of being taught how to prepare, and be useful vessels to teach others, we are witnessing more divisions than ever before in history.
The citizenship in Yahuah’s Kingdom (Reign) has always been the central issue, and men have created their own impressions of it through doctrines such as “Apostolic Succession”, and diverse “Denominations”.

There is so much misunderstanding today of what “worship” is. Ultimately, pure worship distills down to simply obedience.
Not our will, but Yahuah’s Will be done - on Earth, as it is in Shamayim.
I hope your heart leaps within you with love for Yahusha’s work as you read the simple Truth in this one page article!
The goal is love.

When it comes to interior decor, don’t forget about this frequently overlooked zone: the linens. Often an afterthought, they’re just as important to the look of a room as a great piece of furniture or wall hanging. “We seem to forget that we spend more time in bed and at the dining table than any other location during our lives,” points out luxury linens doyenne Julia Berger of Julia B. “One’s bedroom and dining room are lived in, viewed and enjoyed every day. Enabling each of those special places to shine and be beautiful is what this should be all about.”

For brides to be, linens and a trousseau rank high on the checklist of wedding traditions — right up there with the old, new, borrowed and blue. “In many parts of Europe this century-old custom was considered to be the most precious gift to be provided by the bride’s extended family, often hand-embroidered by the mother, the grandmother, the aunt as well as other close female relatives,” adds Berger, whose own company offers a bespoke couture service to design a personal trousseau collection from scratch. “In North America, we have witnessed a revival — perhaps it’s even a discovery — of this fabulous tradition.”

Here, Berger shares her pro tips for the linen novice, from trousseau 101 to choosing the right monogram.

How to Navigate the World of Fine Linens & Avoid Thread-Count Mania
When it comes to bed linens, the most typical question I receive, is “What’s your thread count?” As proud as we are of our thread counts, which go as high as 1,000 threads per square inch, I caution everyone from thinking that this statistic is a true indicator of quality. Far more important than the number of threads is the actual quality of the threads themselves; the type of weave and care used in producing the linen can dramatically affect their quality and touch.
Think about the climates and environments you live in, your preferences for warmth or coolness, your adjacent bedding products — be they down, wool or piquet — to make the right individual choices. Personally, I learned to appreciate fine textiles at an early age from linens that were handed down to me by my great-aunt. You would be amazed at their softness, durability and beauty, even after decades of use. We always encourage our customers to touch the fabrics and let their hands and cheeks make the choice for them. After all, I doubt that a 100 years ago anyone was running around boasting about one’s thread count. In this crazy digital world where everyone is trying to quantify everything and keep score, maybe we should create scores for beauty and joy?

Calling All Brides: How to Create Your Personal Linen Collection
Our very extensive selection of designs, colors and fabrics serve as a palette so that we can always capture the individual tastes and aspirations of the bride. However, when it comes to selecting the first set, I always encourage brides to consider white as choice number one. Bridal white linens are not just pure and fresh; they are the easiest color with which to mix and match and build upon as a foundation of one’s collection.

How to Choose the Right Monogram
The selection and personalization of one’s monogram needs to reflect one’s personal tastes, whimsies and passions. Monograms are such a beautiful way of personalizing one’s home and that is why we work through a multi-step process with brides, including a review of their family’s vintage pieces, gaining an understanding of their color preferences as well as seeking to ensure that the monogram complements the rest of the home decor.
Decisions around monograms can be tricky and at times invoke questions of which names should be represented as well as the order in which they should appear. Traditionally the monogrammed trousseau was developed over a period of many years, starting long before the young woman’s husband was chosen and therefore those pieces typically featured only the initial of the bride’s last name. Today, of course, tradition and gender equality are battling each other, resulting in a much broader range of options. That being said, there are a few important things to always keep in mind when making these choices:

1. How many letters?
Determine whether one, two or three letters best suits your preferred way of visualizing your name

2. What is the preferred order?
If multiple letters are preferred then making certain that bride and groom are happy with the order in which they will appear is very important and we urge brides to have that discussion before finalizing their decision.

3. New or vintage?
Often families have existing vintage pieces and sometimes even crests which they would like to copy or at least use as inspiration for a new design. Our couture service is designed to support this process and the results are beautiful and uniquely personal for every bride and her family.

How to Care for Linens
One of the fabulous things about fine linens is that, if proper care is taken, they can get better over time. Linen care requires following three essential rules:

1. Only use the right detergent — non-abrasive and delicate
2. Never use bleach, even with whites, as it weakens the fabric
3. Store your linens, after pressing and folding them carefully, in a dry environment

Have Your Bachelorette Party at Total Axe Throwing

  • 3 min read

Planning a Bachelorette Party?

We can help! We run the gamut when it comes to events being held here—corporate events, birthday parties, holiday parties, the whole nine yards. So, a bachelorette party is right up our alley. So, what exactly does planning your bachelorette party at Total Axe get you?

What do you get?

After everyone gets checked in, we’ll waste no time in getting the event started. First, one of our professional coaches will give everyone a brief safety speech. Next, that same coach will teach everyone how to throw, giving you one-on-one instruction if necessary. Finally, your coach will run an entire tournament for your party, which is where the fun really starts. You and the girls will get to compete for the championship, and prove to each other who the best axe thrower is. By the end of your event, someone will be named champion, and gets to brag about their new crown for the rest of the weekend.

Why axe throwing though?

Well, as time goes on bachelorette parties become tougher and tougher to make unique. Destination getaways are expensive and hard to plan. Spa days are nice but they’ve been done before. And bar crawls have the chance to end with vomit on your new shoes—and we don’t want that. Instead, axe throwing offers something unique. This bachelorette party will stand out from the rest, securing your spot as best Maid of Honor/bridesmaid ever. Here, you’ll get to do something different, exciting, and most importantly, picture worthy. Or maybe there not being vomit on your shoes is the most important. It’s up in the air.

Still not convinced?

Not to mention, axe throwing is empowering. There’s something about tossing a chunk of steel and getting it to cut through a piece of wood that just feels good. The energy that you feel when you get your first, tenth, or hundredth axe to stick in the board is like none other. You can throw axes, throwing stars, and even a tactical shovel into a target, and experience the once-in-a-lifetime feeling of being an assassin. With axe throwing getting you feeling strong, energized, and powerful, it’ll be the perfect thing to send you into the rest of your bachelorette weekend.

Did we forget to mention?

It’s some good, wholesome fun. This is the type of bachelorette party that mom could come to and it not get too awkward. Put some decorations around your arena, bring some sashes and a crown, some food and soft drinks (no alcohol is allowed), and have the perfect bachelorette party. When the bride-to-be thinks back on getting married, it’ll be the axe throwing that she remembers. Not the ceremony. Or the flowers. Or the best man speech that was borderline inappropriate. But the axe throwing. Probably.

HIPAA Compliant efax Provider Recommendations

Many HIPAA compliant organizations need to send and receive electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) on a regular basis. HIPAA requires you to secure information at rest, in transit, and in storage. If you fax PHI, you must ensure the safety of this sensitive information in transit. HIPAA compliant efax services are an ideal replacement for traditional fax machines many businesses are phasing out.

Online fax, cloud fax, or efax is the use of the internet and internet protocols to send a fax, rather than using a standard telephone connection and a fax machine. In this blog post, we review five efax vendors (Concord Cloud Fax, Faxage, Innoport, SRFax, and Upland InterFAX) which provide HIPAA compliant efax services that keep your transmissions secure and protected at all times. Please note that these are unranked and listed in alphabetical order. All of these companies will sign a Business Associate Agreement with your organization, which is required by HIPAA.

Each vendor will be assessed based on three considerations: security and features, installation and use, and cost. This information will help you decide which vendor best fits the needs of your business.

Concord Cloud Fax — HIPAA Compliant efax Service

Concord Cloud Fax: Security and Features

Every day, Concord makes sending secure and HIPAA compliant faxes easier for over 140,000 users. With Concord’s secure Cloud Fax Platform, you can centralize your inbound and outbound faxing. The platform allows you to route faxes directly to the appropriate team or department.

Every document is text-searchable, which allows for quick and easy access. Concord also offers machine learning technology, which finds and extracts key patient data-points from documents and uses them to populate applications. This makes it easy for you to bring documents and patient data back into your application ecosystem.

Concord’s network security features include: AES 256-bit encryption, active intrusion protection, complex password requirements, and an enforced anti-virus policy across the network. All logins and access are logged and recorded in case of a breach or audit, or for general security purposes.

Communications are fully encrypted over TLS or via secure HTTP. You can set your image retention policy to automatically remove all images, dramatically simplifying security. Concord has also successfully undergone the SSAE 16 audit, to ensure organizational procedures, structure and technical infrastructure are optimized to protect consumer data.

Concord Cloud Fax: Installation and Use

Concord’s website has How To Videos that can guide you through sending, receiving, and printing faxes, as well as other ways you can customize your Concord Cloud Fax Web Portal. Concord Cloud Fax allows you to receive online faxes in your email inbox and manage them just like you would regular emails.

Once your account is activated, simply attach the documents you’re faxing to an email message and send it to faxnumber@concordsend.com. The documents, which can be PDF, TIF, or XPS attachments, can be printed, saved, archived, or forwarded like you would with an email. Concord also notifies you via email as soon as your fax has been successfully delivered. You can also track all your outgoing and incoming faxes using the Concord Portal.

Concord Cloud Fax: Cost

With Concord, you can build your own HIPAA compliant cloud fax estimate using the “Build My Fax Service Quote” tool on the company’s website, or contact them to start your free trial.

Innoport’s pricing starts at $9.95 per month for a basic business plan. Personal plans are also available. You can also set up multiple user accounts with 5 different users having access to the service. The unlimited account offerings from other providers may be better for larger organizations.

SRFax — HIPAA Compliant efax Service

SRFax: Security and Features

SRFax is a well-known online fax service that has been serving medical professionals for decades. The company uses SSL encryption, firewalls, and/or optional PGP encryption to safeguard your information. With SRFax, you can create multiple user accounts to help limit who has access to sensitive data and ensure that only the right people are viewing and handling faxes. This limits the potential for employee error that often leads to HIPAA violations.

You can also restrict or control which PC’s are allowed to access your account. This may be done by IP address or IP address ranges and subnet masks. SRFax also offers integration of its API into your system, optional optical character recognition (OCR), access to a secure SRFax Printer Driver, and access to the secure SRFax Downloader.

All of SRFax’s plans except for the Basic Plan allow for an unlimited number of outbound users free of charge. The plans also allow you to add users with their own unique fax number, with a small fee for these additional users. Additional users can have their own login account but will not be able to view faxes other than their own.

SRFax: Installation and Use

SRFax’s efax service is easy to use; all you need is an email account or web browser. SRFax will assign you a unique local or toll-free number. Anyone faxing a document to this SRFax number will be received by the company’s servers.

The account can only be accessed with a valid username and password combination which are SSL encrypted. An encrypted session ID cookie is used to uniquely identify each user. While logged into our servers, all communications will be encrypted at all times.

When a fax routes from the company’s servers to your email address, you can easily filter, route, forward, print, or delete it, just like you would a standard email.

You may schedule an informative, no-pressure InterFAX demo, where one of the company’s cloud fax service experts will walk you through an overview of the InterFAX platform and features.

Betfred League 1 news round up

Rochdale Hornets chairman Andy Mazey has voiced his frustration that the club has once again been forced to suspend training amid the coronavirus pandemic.
As the country was forced back into a national lockdown last week, the RFL advised clubs across the Championship and League 1 to pause their pre-season training programmes for two weeks.
Whilst disappointed with the move, Mazey believes the initial start date in March would still attainable if it is just a two-week gap. But if a delay in training goes on longer than that, there will be knock-on effects that will run to much later in the year.
“I am disappointed because my understanding has always been that we are an elite sport so we should have been allowed to continue,” said Mazey.
“We have spent a hell of a lot of money and jumped through a lot of hoops to make sure that we could return to training and the ensure the risk was as low as it possibly could be. We made sure everything was safe and had sign-off from the RFL, so it is disappointing that we’ve been stopped from training.
“We always knew Covid was in play and we’d planned for that and we were working around that.
“I fully understand the position and what’s happening with the virus, but the training we’ve been doing has been very low risk, no contact, with full PPE in place.
“I appreciate it’s just a pause for now of two weeks, but that’s two weeks that could fundamentally undo a whole pre-season. And there are no guarantees that we’re going to restart after that two weeks.
“We’ve been told there will be a clubs meeting to discuss the situation and talk about plans from here, but that’s not happened as of yet and there are a lot of worried people around. I can’t tell my coach or players what’s happening.
“I understand we need a review of the situation and the measures in place in light of the latest lockdown, but that could have been done as we continued to train.
“If that two weeks turns into four, how long can we keep going until it jeopardises the season?
“We already know that with the World Cup coming up the season can’t overrun, but it also means the season can’t be pushed back. I worry that if we’re not careful, we will put ourselves in a position like last year where we wait and wait until you get to the point where we can’t turn it around.
“If it is limited to two weeks we can make everything work, but if it’s any more than that, it could cause all sorts of issues.”

COVENTRY BEARS coach Richard Squires is confident that the club will be able to return to training later this week after the RFL advised clubs to pause their preparations for a fortnight following the latest national lockdown.
“We were being cautious with what we were doing and were only in on a Saturday morning to try and limit the contact time,” said Squires.
“But from my understanding, these two weeks is just a bit of a review period for clubs to be able to sit down and look at what was working and what wasn’t working. Hopefully, if all the right protocols are in place we’ll be back in on January 16 fingers crossed.
“I am quietly confident with the messages that are coming out that we will be back after the two weeks.
“The RFL have been quite clear that we are an elite sport and I think they are getting as many protocols in place as they can early on so that it prevents anything affecting the game happening later in the year.
“We need to do whatever we can to get a season played this year so I’d rather them do this now and get a season out of 2021.”

BARROW RAIDERS coach Paul Crarey has said the disruption of pre-season has heightened his desire to add one final member to his squad for this year.
As well as the current two-week pause to training, clubs are still limited to how much full contact they can do in a session. Add to that the difficulties there will be with organising pre-season matches, and preparations for this year are far from normal.
“We don’t know where the latest developments will leave us with friendlies, so we might have to go into that first Cup game with no pre-season games behind us,” said Crarey.
“Not having played for a year, or having the full pre-season we’d usually have means the players will be feeling it when they finally get back playing.
“I believe the new rules that were brought in for Super League will be used again, so with no scrums, the game is going to be quicker and that’s where we’re going to lose players.
“With the game being quicker the bigger blokes in the middle are going to have to do more work and repeat sets so we might just pick up some injuries.
“We’ve looked at that and thought that if we can get another quality middle player in to go with what we’ve got, then across the board we’re pretty strong.
“There is still room for one in our squad for another forward and there is money available for that, but we are just going to take our time with that.
“We just want some insurance for if we do get injuries. That’s what affected us most when we were last in the Championship and we learnt our lessons from that.”

WORKINGTON TOWN media officer Gary McKeating has said the club is likely to keep their virtual fan engagement going even when supporters are permitted back at Derwent Park.
Town were the first club to launch regular webinars and interactive fan forums when the nation first went to lockdown back in March, and since then special guests on the shows have included Rugby League greats like Barrie McDermott, Jamie Jones-Buchanan and James Graham, as well as their own players, coaches and officials.
With other clubs across the game now launching similar initiatives, McKeating believes this sort of interaction is the way forward.
“Very early on in all this, the board wanted to do something that would allow us to keep in touch with the fans,” said McKeating.
“It was such a strange time for everyone and keeping in contact is very important.
“We decided very early on that it wasn’t just about the cub surviving, but also the survival of a community that loves Rugby League. Suddenly the connections that held us all together were blown apart and doing these webchats was our way to try and regain those connections.
“It was all very well received.
“Even when we can get back to face to face we’ll probably keep some elements of the interactivity going as we can reach different audiences at different times.
“I’d like to think that we were a bit of a front runner with this, and it’s great that other clubs have started to do similar things.”

HUNSLET coach Gary Thornton has said it is down to his players once again to keep themselves in good shape whilst training is temporarily halted.
“The latest lockdown rules and the pausing of rugby below Super League will undoubtedly impact our pre-season planning,” said Thornton.
“But we have to remain positive and do what we can to ensure it has a minimum effect on our long-term goals.
“The boys will be given home programmes to maintain and improve their fitness levels until we get the go-ahead to resume, and they have a personal responsibility to do so.
“We have a very dedicated and professional group, so I’m confident that they will buy into that, and we can crack on from where we left off for Christmas when we get the green light to resume.”

KEIGHLEY COUGARS should find out later this month if their bid to benefit from part of the Government Towns Fund has been successful.
The town of Keighley can draw upon up to £25 million from the Government to invest back into the local community and local projects.
The Cougars are one of 36 projects that have applied for some of this grant, and if successful they will use the additional funds to upgrade their main stand facilities to benefit not just the club, but the town as a whole.
“There are a lot of other projects in for it, but we have applied for funds to completely update our old stand,” explained chairman Mick O’Neill.
“It’s really old, it’s falling down, we keep repainting it and redoing it, but it really needs replacing.
“We’ve not applied for the whole £25 million, just a share of it and we will add to that ourselves. We should hopefully find out in the next few weeks if we’ve been successful.
“If we can get a new stand, we can make the ground more available to more people. I’d like to get a boxing ring in there for the local Asian community who like that sport. We could also update the classrooms we’ve got so we can work with local schools and get kids down here.
“We also have no facilities for women to get showered and changed at the ground to be able to run a ladies club from the ground, so that is something we want to change and we also have nowhere for our disabled supporters to go without them sitting in the open and getting absolutely drenched.
“We’ve tried putting them in other areas of the ground but there is nowhere else for them to go and be able to see the game so that’s one big priority too. But even if we don’t get the grant we’ll do something for them to allow them to see the game in comfort because I do feel for them.
“There are all sorts of things like that we’d like to do if we get the grant and these changes could put Keighley back on the map. If we get this new stand we can move forward and then push to get out of this league.
“We’ve worked hard to get the right players to the club, so if we can get a new stand it would be the icing on the cake.”

WEST WALES RAIDERS forward Morgan Evans has more than one reason to want the game to return as soon as possible.
Not only has he not played for almost a year since the coronavirus pandemic put an early end to 2020, but he is also eyeing up more international caps for Wales.
“The thought of the World Cup is always lingering,” said Evans.
“I really want to make the Wales squad and be involved in that tournament, so to maximise my chances of doing that I need to be out on the field and show what I can do.
“So I am quite desperate to get back out there now and it is vital for me that the game comes back soon.
“After looking ahead to the tournament for so long it would be devastating if I had to miss out simply because I hadn’t played enough to be considered.
“With Covid, it’s been hard to get into the right mindset of structuring training and aiming towards something when you can’t train and play. So I am desperate to get back and get some structure back into training and get out on the field and perform.”

DONCASTER chief executive Carl Hall believes their recruitment strategy for the coming season could prove to be crucial once the competition is allowed to restart.
The Dons have added experience to their squad with the signing of Samoan international Misi Taulapapa, forward Liam Johnson and back Ben Johnston. They have also added some younger blood in Ross Whitmore, Josef Fella and Aaron York, who are all looking to develop their career to the next level.
With only Rangi Chase and Brad England confirmed to have left the club, Doncaster will go into the new season with a bigger squad than 12 months ago, but with minimal changes in key roles.
“A big turnover of players wasn’t something we wanted to do,” said Hall.
“We have a lot of players here who have been together for the past two years and that continuity is going to be key for us.
“League 1 is going to be a really good competition this year. There is some top quality throughout all teams, so it’s going to be one of those competitions where if you don’t turn up on the day you’ll get beaten by anyone.
“The Championship is going to be the same too so it’s all looking positive for when we can get started.
“Every game is going to be one that everyone wants to watch, so both comps will hopefully deliver some real spectacles.”

NORTH WALES CRUSADERS have extended the contract of prop forward Jack Cottington, who has already set his sights on a successful season with the club, whenever that will get underway.
The 22-year-old joined the Wrexham-based club ahead of 2020 and featured from the bench in all four of the games the Crusaders played before the season was cut short because of the coronavirus pandemic.
After playing academy rugby at Super League clubs St Helens, Warrington Wolves and Salford Red Devils, Cottington had spells in the semi-professional ranks with both Whitehaven and Rochdale Hornets before joining the Crusaders.
“I’m buzzing to be staying here,” said Cottington.
“I didn’t want to go anywhere else. It’s a real family club and like a breath of fresh air. There are a lot of things that the club and coaches do for us players that people don’t notice.
“2020 was an awful year for everyone and, hopefully, we’ll be able to bring a smile to people’s faces next season.
“After how we were looking in training and those first couple of matches in 2020, it’s a shame the season came to an end when it did, but we need to focus on 2021 and aim to make those play-offs.
“We’ve missed out on them over the last couple of years, but that’s got to be our aim. I don’t think anybody’s going to underestimate us as we’ve shown exactly what we’re capable of.”
Crusaders head coach Anthony Murray added: “We’re really pleased with how our squad is coming together for 2021 and it’s great to have Jack on board for another year.
“Like a lot of our new signings ahead of 2020, we didn’t get much chance to see them in action, but Jack featured heavily in the early part of the season and gave us some impact off the bench.
“He’s a young lad who has been in some good systems and has some experience playing at this level now.”

LONDON SKOLARS have continued to strengthen their squad for this year, with three more players putting pen to paper on new deals.
Neil Thorman and Omari Caro will remain at the club for another 12 months and the experience they will add will be invaluable to Jermaine Coleman’s squad.
Thorman featured in both of Skolars’ games in 2020, but Caro didn’t, meaning he will have been out of action for almost 18 months if and when the season returns on schedule in March.
Meanwhile winger Abevia McDonald, who has progressed through the Skolars’ ranks in recent years will also remain at the club, and will have his eyes on breaking into the first team.
McDonald has also played in the Jamaican domestic league, so will also be eyeing up a spot in Coleman’s Reggae Boys’ World Cup squad at the end of the year.

Fireman's Festival

The Bremen Firemen's Festival is family fun

The Bremen Firemen’s Festival has been a traditional event in the area since its inception in 1950 that is anticipated by people of all ages.
Firefighters and other volunteers from the community work to ensure that the thousands of annual attendees have much to choose from: Food, music, games, rides, a parade, a waterball competition, fireworks, and more.

Eric Thornton, firefighter since 1998 and Safety and Training Officer for the last 10 years said of all the events, the parade which leads in the five-day event, and then the fireworks show held the last night of the festival, far outweigh the many daily offerings when it comes to attendance.
“Parade night there are about 7,500 that watch and then go to the festival,” he estimated. “We have right around 100 entries. Last year there were about 200 and it lasted almost an hour-and-a-half.” He said locals scope out a favorite place to watch from and claim it with their blankets and chairs, sometimes a day in advance.

The route begins at the corner of Indiana and Plymouth streets where the procession travels east on Plymouth to East Street, then south, and ends at Sunnyside Park. During the parade entries can compete for prizes in band, float, clowns, marching unit, fire truck and other vehicle categories.
Winners are awarded from the grandstand at Center and Plymouth streets as they pass by. Bands are awarded about a half-hour after the procession is complete.

“We have people (as entries) coming from South Bend, Mishawaka, Plymouth, Syracuse, Nappanee, and Starke County,” said Thornton. “We give out trophies for the categories and then we have a firemen’s choice award.”

Also, each year approximately 30 to 40 food and craft vendors offer their fares for sale while Luehr’s Ideal Rides brings the real carnival feel with some 10 to 12 rides and eight to 10 game tents. Helicopter rides from Higher grounds will also offer spectators a bird’s-eye view of the entire festival area.

The firemen’s food tent will be serving up favorites left of the girls softball diamond, next to the pole building. Firefighters will offer baked potatoes, their famous steamed corn and pulled barbecue pork, drinks and more.

“This is still a fairly new venture,” Thornton said of the additional fundraiser within a fundraiser. “We set up the committees and most of them (firefighters, and their family members) volunteer; everyone just fills in where they’re needed.” He said the corn, which is a big area favorite, sells about 10 to 12 bushels each year and that number may likely be growing.

Water-ball, a firemen favorite event for decades still brings in about 12 teams (of five or six members) from area departments. “Not all are firemen,” Thornton said. “Some are family members or friends but we have people from Michigan, Plymouth, Culver and Starke County. They look forward to it.”The event takes place south of the pool and lasts about five hours. Winners are awarded in both mens and womens divisions for first and second placings.

There is no entry fee to participate or watch but registration is at 9:30 a.m. with games beginning at 10 a.m.

The annual firemen’s raffle takes place at 8 p.m. the last night of the event, prior to the fireworks. Prizes this year include a $100 Bellman’s BP gas card (for fifth place); an iPad (for fourth); a 2011 TAO 49cc gas scooter from Mint City Motors (for third place); a 5,500-watt generator from KCG Enterprises of Nappanee (for second place) and a freezer full of a half a beef from John’s Butcher Shop (for first place).

With all that in store, the fireworks may seem like an afterthought, but not to those from the area. They know to expect people from all area counties, and from all walks of life, to fill the parking lots and line the streets and country roads in the area to full capacity.

“I believe we’ve done the fireworks from the very beginning,” Thornton said. “Everyone involved has been to a special safety class before they are even allowed to participate.”

He said there are about 15 firemen working behind the scenes during the show, setting off the pyrotechnics or reloading the tubes with shells. Thornton said Terry Britton, firefighter since 1991, has been in charge of managing the selection process for the 350 shells, a full utility trailer of colorful pyrotechnics for the large display, each year.

Thornton estimated that approximately 10,000 people attend the fireworks display alone and the entire firefighter force is on hand in one way or the other. “There are a few that just walk the grounds to make sure everything is working okay and that everyone is behaving,’ he said. “There is quite a crowd.”

“We spread the trucks in several locations during it,” he continued, “so they can get out if they’re needed. We have a few with us (behind the scenes) and an ambulance on hand in case there are any accidents. Luckily no one has gotten seriously injured”
He said as well, area town’s emergency agencies plan to be on hand to assist if needed.

Whether planning, cooking, cleaning, setting up or simply monitoring or standing on-call, the local firefighters do what they can to keep the five-day event running smoothly.

“Everybody’s involved in one way or other,” Thornton said. “We all have different responsibilities but we get it all done together.”
Though the entire weekend is the department’s major fundraiser for the year, it also is a contribution to the community to enjoy a safe, local, inexpensive, family event. For more information call 574-546-3660, email matthew.neher@cewmail.com or visit www.BremenFire.org online.
