I bet you are all dying to hear about the glitz and glamour as the girlfriend (soon to be wife) of one of Australia’s most awesome CX riders. So how about a little insight into a typical 24 hour day pre, during and post-race.
17.30: Give Boy Wonder a quick rub down, usually just legs but depends how sore he is. (He kindly bought me a massage training course last year…hmm who benefits from that I wonder?)
19.00: Dinner time. This time it was flaked salmon, with mushroom, bacon, spinach and broccoli with some pesto. I like to make sure there is a good mix of carbs, protein, fats, omega 3’s and other nutrients. (I moonlight as his nutritionist too, although he tends to ignore me when possible)
19.30: Clean up after dinner and tidy the campervan…it’s too small for it to be messy especially as tomorrow is race day.
21.00: Garry goes to bed, I stay up…I cant sleep for 12 hours like he can. This is usually when I write blog posts or articles (I also write for a health and fitness website…giving all my secrets away now)
8.00: I wake and lay there for 20 mins thinking I should get up…then I do get up and put the heater on so it’s warm when Garry gets out of bed.
8.30: Wake Garry if he isn’t already awake. Make him breakfast, muesli, greek yogurt, banana and raspberries, maybe a slice of bread with butter and creamed honey. Served in bed of course!!
9.00: Garry takes a nap. I tidy up the breakfast things and then lay out his kit ready for a practice lap.
10.00: Greg, who works in the pits for Garry, will drop past and pick up the bikes, give them a once over before dropping them back ready for practice.
10.45: Garry is back, gets changed, I start laying his things out for his warm up. The boys sit about, and talk about the track/race…or just talk rubbish. Usually the latter!
11.55: Make Garrys pre-race meal, creamed rice with a banana, always the same. And another bottle. So it’s ready exactly 3 hours prior to the race. He isn’t pedantic or anything…
13.55: Garry gets into his warm up kit and jumps on the rollers while I lay out his race kit and all other essentials. I also get everything ready for when he comes back from the race. Recovery bar, recovery drink ready to be mixed, garbage bag out and ready to have muddy clothes dumped in it, bathroom ready, hot water on, clean clothes laid out for after the shower, towels ready. He doesn’t have to think about anything when he gets back…just a toasty warm shower! Which only last about 2 mins 45, before it turns cold #campervanlife
14.30: Garry comes inside switches kit, I get all my waterproof clothes on, Greg checks which bike to take to the pit.
14.55 Garry is called onto the start line. I take his jacket and stripper pants, little kiss and good luck, aww cute aren’t we.
15.00: Race start. I head for the pits…usually I get lost finding them. Get there eventually, find Greg, and wait for Boy Wonder to come through. Usually feeling excited, stressed, nervous, anxious…you know, ALL the feelings you could possibly have at one time. When he comes through I grab the dirty bike as Greg hands over the clean bike. I then wait for Paul and hand over his bike and head to the pressure washers to clean the bike. A 14sqm space with 6 pressure washer hoses going full tilt flinging mud everywhere…hence my water proof outfit. The cycle continues for 40 mins – an hour depending how long they last without getting pulled (80% rule is in place).
16.00: head back to the camper, door is smeared in mud, pile of muddy shoes and clothes are outside, garbage bag sitting there ready and willing not obvious enough… Garry is sitting inside freshly showered and in clean clothes. I ask how he went and how he feels while I make the recovery drink.
16.10: the clean-up begins. Clothes in garbage bag. Pressure wash the shoes and the bike he did his last lap on (the other one is generally clean as we tend to clean it in the pits), start packing everything up…I did once put the bikes and wheels and rollers etc away…but I don’t do a good job, the spare wheels sitting on top of the bikes with the rollers kinda leaning against them is apparently not ideal. So now Garry packs them away! He is fussy sometimes 😉
18.30: find a Laundromat…wash all the clothes, the joy of having a campervan…can wash clothes and cook him dinner at the same time…park up right out the front!
So I think what you can gather from that is, glitz is mud and glamour is a waterproof outfit…but don’t worry, I match it all in a monochrome shade of black, and just dress it up with a SRAM CX-1 Beanie and some Hunter gumboots. It’s all about the accessories, right?
There have been some fears (mainly from the male population) that I was not looking after him sufficiently after that photo of him washing his own bike in the pits went viral, so I hope I have allayed all your concerns?? Please leave a comment either here or on the FB link on a scale of 1 to 10 how spoilt Boy Wonder is…would your misses do all that for you? And girls when your beloved says, “babe im going to take you on a 2 month Summer vacation, and we are staying in the Hilton” make sure he means this…and not this!
Baal Bpost Bank Trofee Sven Nys GP was where I last left off…Sun shining, thousands upon thousands of spectators streaming in. Garry had a great start and was sitting well ahead of some of his usual competitors in about 26th after a few laps. Paul was a little further back but still ahead of some of the guys that had beaten him in previous races. About 30 minutes in and Garry doesn’t come through as expected. He was riding with a German guy, Yannick, he comes through and then about 8 other riders come through. No sign of Garry….Im not sure how my heart does it but it manages to sink to the depths of my stomach and sit right in my throat all at the same time. Paul comes through still pushing hard. We wait. Some of the riders who are coming last pull out before they are pulled from the race. As the race continues others pull out just because they aren’t doing as well as they hoped, this is a usual sighting*. Garry is back at the campervan, a metal fence jumped out and attacked him!! He has a huge bruise on both knees, scrapes and cuts. He looks in pain, might have something to do with having to stop when he was riding so well. Paul finished in 34th position*.
Despite my worry about backing up to race the next day, Garry was keen as mustard to head to the Netherlands. We pack up the camper and hit the road…straight for the nearest pharmacy. Nothing neurofen and a little bit of Voltaren cream can’t remedy. The next day we wake in surhuisterveen, and to my delight we find coffee…that almost tastes like coffee! As Garry warms up on the rollers I can hear a lady chatting with him, she is Australian having moved to the Netherlands some time ago and has a 16 year old son who races as a junior. They were coming to the race to watch, however she knew Garry was racing here and had wanted to stop by and say hi. As it turns out people all over the world have been reading this little blog (Hi Marita!). She offers their assistance at the start and finish, and in the pits. Turns out Maritas son is Jens Dekker, a junior who rides for BK CP and finished 2nd at the Namur World Cup (Im tipping him to be the next Lars Van der Haar, you heard it here first!). The only time Jens has been in the pit is when he has ridden through it, so I put him through the paces, handing bikes up, catching bikes, washing bikes. Funnily enough he said he definitely prefers riding his bike over cleaning them. Big thanks to Marita and Jens for their help…can we lock you in for next year…same time, same place? Haha. Millburn finished 19th on the lead lap, a good solid ride. And Redenbach finished 25th*.
We stopped for dinner in Almere, Paul was hunger flatting so grabbed a kebab while we decided where to go for dinner, which was only half eaten by the time we decided. He proceeded to hide the kebab as we were seated at the restaurant…luckily it was dark inside…here he is sneakily eating a kebab. Can take the boy outta the hood but cant take the hood outta the boy.
SOUDAL Classic Leuven, the first race where I was really put to the test. I had to work the pits for Millburn and Redenbach as well as being at the start to take jackets. I like to keep fit, go to the gym, run, ride…people often ask what i am training for…well i have figured it out, its for that moment 10 mins before the start when Garry says “actually i need my head warmer and oakleys”…and i have to sprint back to the camper (while wearing gumboots), grab them and sprint back as to not miss the start. Made it, got the jackets, watched the start, headed straight to the pits. Then proceeded to hand bikes and wash bikes. Then washed the bikes they finished on and carried them back from the pits. Thats what I’m training for!!
I think both guys are looking forward to a week off, Garry having raced 6 races in 10 days and Paul 5 races in 8 days. Leuven was definitely a race on tired legs, they fought to the end though! Garry finished 30th and Paul 32nd!
*A little observation I would like to note about the results sheets: They do not reflect how many people actually started as they do not show who DNF’s. So you may see Paul or Garry at the bottom of the result, when in fact many of the races there are 10 -20 additional people who have DNF’d. Many of them pull themselves out as perhaps they would rather record no result than a result that lists them as 5 laps down. |
97,865,153 | Mio have unveiled their latest smart home product at the Mobile World Congress Show in Barcelona Spain. They enter the competitive smart home security segment of the market, bringing a rounded security system which blends a live streaming CCTV camera with door and window sensors. The company, formed in 2002 and based out of China, will be competing heavily with the British Gas owned Hive system, as well as products from Netatmo and other bigger named manufacturers. Lets investigate what they’re showing off here in Spain.
MWC 2016 is being headlined by smart home products, with the IoT enabled devices which transform the home being used to usurp the traditional mobile flavour of MWC. The Mini-CES as it is fast becoming, is a hotbed of new smart home tech, not least this new offering from Mio.
Billed as being ‘the perfect combination of IoT device, smartphone app, and cloud platform, MioSMART creates an integrated solution to protect and monitor the home environment, or anywhere security is a concern.’ What does this mean in reality? Well, you’re getting a live video monitoring tool, meaning they join the smart home security bandwagon, which comes via the MioSMART IP CAM.
Smart home security systems are probably the second hottest sub-category within the smart home behind the smart thermostat, headlined by Google owned Nest’s poster-child [for smart homes in general] thermostat. Just recently we have seen the LG smart security hub cam, the iSmartAlarm and even more recently, the Netatmo Welcome.
A lot of these products offer something similar. They all feature a camera for the home, which typically pushes what it views into the cloud, which in turn ensures the footage captured doesn’t get lost if the camera gets trashed or stolen. In the case of the Mio MioSMART, it also has local storage via an SD card too
The MioSMART solution is intended to be a more holistic home security solution though, and also features the ever popular door and window sensors. The most popular door and window sensors on the market are currently made by Hive, reviewed here yet the market is new, with Hive themselves only launching around a month back. These sensors do what they say on the tin, meaning they connect to the door or window and fire an alert to their companion app on your smartphone if the status-quo changes. Or in other words, if your window or door opens, the app shouts at you to ensure you know about it.
Mio President Steve Chang said: “Mio is a pioneer in the digital video recorder (DVR) sector. With our outstanding knowhow in camera technology, we have consistently delivered more safety and peace of mind to our users on the road. Now, we are taking the next step by applying our technology in the home security field, bringing all-around security to the lives of our customers.”
This is all well and good, if not ground-breakingly unique. If you’re lucky enough to be here at MWC, then you can check out the Mio stand, located in hall 8.0

191,523,509 | Gemma Arterton thinks life is easier for women in Hollywood if they choose to “conform and shut up”.
The 30-year-old British actress has been an ouspoken critic against the objectification of women in the movie business and freely concedes that some people will choose not to work with her because she is seen to be “difficult”.
She explained: “It’s easier to conform and shut up. That’s the way it’s always been with women. Easier than putting yourself out there and having an opinion, to which someone might retaliate.
“I’m sure there are people who don’t want to work with me because they think I’m difficult – ‘one of those feminist girls’ – but to be honest with you I don’t want to work with them. And that’s fine. Now.”
However, Gemma conceded that in the early stages of her career, she lacked the confidence to speak out on the issue.
She told the Observer newspaper: “When I started talking about how I didn’t enjoy parts of my job, and talking about body image, I got in trouble. So I stopped.”
But Gemma claims there has been a broad sea change in recent years and she is excited to see people being more outspoken and combative.
The actress said: “A revolution is happening, but in its own quiet English way, because people work f**king hard, and it’s hard to live, and everyone’s had enough of being f**ked over.
“Look at [retailer] Philip Green – people are angry at the moment, and now they’re being encouraged to pipe up. It’s an exciting time.”
The first installment of "Best in the League" on CFL.ca is all about the playmakers; a duel that features Brandon Banks and Chad Owens.
Argos' slot-back Chad Owens and Ti-Cats' returner Brandon Banks are the nominees, and for good reason. The entertainment these two superstars provide on their own is enough to put fans in the seats on a weekly basis.
Offensively, an elite playmaker is someone who has a knack for simply making big plays. Every time they touch the football, there's a chance they can go to the house.
Every time Banks gets the ball, people are on the edge of their seat. They hold their breath and watch the magic unfold. More times than not, Banks will make something happen.
He had a remarkable year in 2014, proving his dominance on special-teams by returning four kicks for touchdowns. The former Washington Redskins' returner also contributed on offence, where he was on the receiving end for five scores while recording his first 500 receiving yard season in spot-duty. So far in 2015, Banks has continued right where he left off in the playoffs, running back two punts to the end-zone in only three games. He even had an electrifying kickoff return touchdown in week three, but it was nullified by a picky blocking-in-the-back foul on Bakari Grant.
Sure, Chad Owens is the better player for the impact he makes on offence. Despite being limited to only 11 games in 2014, he managed to account for 86 catches, 979 yards and seven touchdowns. Had he stayed healthy, the former Most Outstanding Player award winner was on pace for over 1,600 yards receiving with eleven touchdowns. But as phenomenal of a player as Owens is, he doesn't strike fear into opposing coaches' eyes like a certain 5'7", 153 lbs speedster does.
To put it all into perspective, Banks has 5 return touchdowns (six total) in his last seven games going back to week nineteen last year. And that doesn't include the three scores he's had called back since then. Chad Owens, meanwhile, has 5 return touchdowns in his career.
Winnipeg Blue Bombers' rookie cornerback Johnny Adams (far left) celebrates with teammates after his pick-six against Montreal in week three action.
Meet Johnny Adams, cornerback for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, and fellow rookie corner AJ Jefferson, a member of the Toronto Argonauts. These two first-year players have burst onto the scene in the opening weeks of the 2015 CFL season, slowly leading a changing of the guard as to who are the league's top cover-men. You can expect to hear their name's quite a bit over the next few seasons.
And you should probably know them by now anyway. Adams already has two interceptions for the Blue Bombers in only three career games while, not to be outdone in the same amount of starts, Jefferson has an interception of his own; one he returned 100 yards the other way for a touchdown in Toronto's 42-40 win over Saskatchewan in week two. They've both come in as rookies and earned starting jobs at short-side cornerback, a position typically occupied by a team's best cover-man.
Adams, signed by Winnipeg in early February, is a former Michigan State Spartan who bounced around the NFL from 2013-2014, suiting up for four games with the Buffalo Bills. In college, he was a three-time All-Big 10 selection (2010-2012) and earned first-team honours in his senior season after racking up 35 tackles with three interceptions and 10 pass knockdowns. His best season, though, came in 2011 as a Junior when he also earned first-team honours after collecting 51 tackles, 3 interceptions, 9 pass-defences and three sacks.
Jefferson, meanwhile, has more of an NFL pedigree to his name. He's recorded 109 career tackles with three interceptions in four seasons split between Arizona and Minnesota, typically slotting in as the third or fourth corner for the Vikings in 2012 and 2013. The former Fresno State standout spent the 2014 season on the Seattle Seahawks' injured-reserve and following his stint with the NFC Champions, Jefferson was out of work until the Argonauts inked him to a contract on the eve of rookie camp this past May.
Adams and Jefferson been everything their respective clubs could've asked for from two rookies. And while it's still early, you could even very well say that, overall, they've been the league's top two cornerbacks this season. They certainly still have much to prove, however Adams and Jefferson are well on their way to All-Star selections in their rookie campaigns if they can continue to play at such a high level.
Adams, who stood out at the Blue Bombers' mini-camp in Florida, already has 10 tackles and two interceptions for Winnipeg. His exceptional play in both mini-camp and training camp allowed the Bombers to move Chris Randle to nickel linebacker, a move that is starting to pay dividends after a slow start for the converted cornerback.
Jefferson was fantastic in the pre-season and had a terrific outing against Edmonton in week one, however struggled against Saskatchewan's Ryan Smith the following week. His interception return touchdown against those same Riders covered up some of his mistakes that game, however the 6'1", 190lbs rookie returned to form against his toughest opponent to date in Calgary's Jeff Fuller. Jefferson has nine tackles, an interception and a fumble recovery in three games with the Double Blue.
They've been the best-of-the-best after three weeks of CFL action and are doing so as raw rookies to the Canadian game. And while it's likely too early to proclaim them as the top cornerbacks in their respective divisions, don't be surprised if they earn that title by the end of the season. With the league's latest rule changes and departure of some great defensive backs like Delvin Breaux to the NFL, the CFL is looking for the next wave of shutdown players.

tomorrow is supposed to be a perfectly gloomy day for hearing/seeing patch adams and having a spontaneous mad tea party.
i'll share what i recently learned in clowning class and open up the costume trunk if anyone is feeling sassy.
Because we were at UNCA, he shared his dream of a campus free of anti-depressants and other psych meds and wanted to see people start "happiness clubs" or "friendship groups", where everyone was welcome and belonged with their weirdness and would be welcomed.
He said, "In 40 years of practicing medicine, I've never hated any of my patients enough to prescribe them psychotropic medication." He also has never charged any money to anyone for practicing medicine. "For my pleasure, I offer my time." "The unencumbered practice of care is an ecstatic experience."
Although delightful and a dynamic speaker, I could see how Patch could really piss off folks struggling with states of pain and dealing with trauma. He's got a bit of a "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" mentality. Says, "Depression isn't a real illness. It's part of the pain paradigm of, loneliness, boredom, fear." He went on to encourage everyone to read Robert Whitiker. When asked more directly about serious mental illnesses, he said, "It's selfishness. It's all about me, me, me, me," and, "the best alternative to mental illness and pharm cures is to GET A LIFE." He agreed, based on his own multiple trips to the psych ward and suicide attempts that, "it can be a healthy reaction to a fucked up society." He told stories about people coming to their hospital with issues and having "barf-a-longs with the bulimics". "You've just got to out weird the weird." "If someone is running naked, screaming up the hill, you need to run naked, scream and eat dirt."
Patch has witnessed a lot of suffering and pain around the world and still maintains an amazing attitude. He is well read and very political. A lot of the "get a life" attitude seems to come from a place of understanding just how fortunate we are living in the US, by comparison to how others live.

Considering how many pieces were published yesterday on the latest from the Oregon Medicaid experiment (gated), I’m guessing I don’t need to rehash its findings. In case I do: coverage increased. So did emergency department visits, including those for non-emergent care, despite self-reported access to primary care. This wasn’t a huge surprise to many people who study health policy, but I saw the results characterized as “counterintuitive”.
Last summer, a Health Affairs paper by Kangovi et al examined possible reasons that low-SES patient are disproportionately inclined to use acute hospital care instead of the more cost-effective ambulatory care we want (and, when patients have insurance, might expect) them to use. The study’s methodology has limitations; it’s based on interviews with forty low-income patients in the Philadelphia area. But the findings are quite relevant to understanding why patients covered by Medicaid might opt to visit the emergency department, even in cases where primary care would suffice—and they’re pretty intuitive, if you give it a little thought.
First, low-income individuals are likely to attach a high “time cost” to primary care visits. Relative to their middle- and high-income counterparts, these patients face greater barriers when it comes to taking time off of work for a scheduled appointment, arranging transportation, child care, and the like. The hospital might offer easier access than outpatient clinics, and, in the emergency department, it’s less likely that they’ll be asked to return for follow-up visits.
For patients covered by Medicaid, the direct financial cost of an ED visit and physician office visit were similar; however, the overall cost of ambulatory care was higher because of the additional time and expense required for specialty visits or additional testing recommended by the primary care provider. One respondent reported: “When I go to my primary, I don’t have a copay. I don’t have a copay in the ER either. But my primary may send me to 2 or 3 specialists, and sometimes there is a copay for them. Plus time off from work to go see them. It’s cheaper to just go to the ER.”
The authors also found that patients sometimes harbored a belief that hospital care is superior to services provided in a primary care setting.
[P]referential use of hospital instead of ambulatory care may be driven in part by perceptions that hospitals offer better access and technical quality. Therefore, efforts to reduce preventable hospital use, such as unplanned hospital readmissions, solely by improving hospital quality may have the paradoxical effect of increasing readmissions. Equalizing access and perceived quality across inpatient and ambulatory settings may be more effective.
The Affordable Care Act expands insurance coverage, but insurance reform is not health care delivery reform. Until now, Medicaid beneficiaries have always been a narrow constituency of patients in a system largely designed around those with private insurance or Medicare. That’s changing, at least in the states expanding the program.
Individuals of different socioeconomic statuses have heterogeneous needs, priorities, beliefs, and limitations when it comes to accessing health care—so rational behavior is going to be similarly varied. With expanded coverage, a central challenge on the health policy scene is making the delivery system adapt to meet the needs of a more diverse patient population. That’s something insurance alone can’t do.

It was supposed to be an overnight at Pamilacan Island jumping-off from Baclayon, but there was no boat and no system in place to get there. Everything seemed left to chance. Even the boat fee was not established and had to be negotiated with a boatman. We asked around but couldn't get a straight answer. It was even more frustrating considering that the tourism head of Baclayon was there and couldn't extend any assistance to get us across. In disbelief, Juan and I decided to visit Hinagdanan Cave in Dauis instead.
It was a series of jeep rides via Tagbilaran until we got to Hinagdanan Cave. The opening was a small hole in the ground with a ladder to climb down with. It opened up inside to a huge cathedral-like chamber with a natural swimming pool fed by the tides. The depth could be as deep as 10 feet in some spots. The pool took up nearly the entire floor area with ample man-made walking path around its perimeter. The top had two openings that allowed natural sunlight. Altogether, it was a beautiful cave, not for crawling into, but for swimming in such a surreal setting.
Unfortunately, Juan and I left our swim wear together with my snorkeling equipment in Tagbilaran to lessen our load which included enough gear and provision for an overnight stay in Pamilacan!
Defaulting back to Tagbilaran, we just watched a Jackie Chan movie - The Foreigner, with an aged Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan. It made for a good spy thriller with a new role for Jackie Chan - as an obsessed father out for cold-blooded revenge against the terrorists who killed his daughter. He was a mix of MacGuyver, Rambo and Liam Neeson in Taken. Good movie albeit over the top.
After the movie, I decided to wander into Tagbilaran while Juan went back home to Loboc. I stopped by my favorite haunt - sikwate and budbud at Cogon Market. I also came upon a newly opened tablea cafe, Tablea de Maria Clara, but they still had no wifi. I think it's cool to have tablea cafes in addition to coffee cafes - me, being a sikwate fan. Instead, I went to Fred's Book Cafe to get some wifi and meet-up with Nizah. I got my halo-halo and wifi but Nizah was tied up somewhere. It rained the whole time until I got a jeep to Albuquerque (or Albur to the locals) then a bus to take me home. It was good to be home again.
This day was a mix but still an adventure of a different kind. The overnight island adventure turned out into a cave visit and ended up in a movie. I would still like to visit Pamilacan Island but it looks bleak given the uncertainty and the probable hefty boat fee getting there.
Ultimately, this day is about bonding with Juan. We'd been spending time together lately like at the Loay market day and the long bike rides. Even though he's only a few years older than me, I defer to him the way I would my Dad. I'd carry his market load, run to fetch us coffee, etc. It's rare that I hangout with someone my age. In fact, I can't remember the last time I've done this, except with my high school good buddy, Ferd. I enjoyed the novelty. Indeed, this was a good day!
(Oct 30, 2017) I enjoyed reading your blogs. Indeed a nomad and very well travelled man. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
I would have stayed up in Upper Bhagsu if not for Manu's heads-up about a possible yoga teaching opportunity at Pema Thang Guest House in McLeod Ganj. I met with the soft spoken manager, Jigme, and we came to terms about me staying at the hotel and teaching yoga in exchange for web promotion and a split of the proceeds. This is wonderful. Not only do I get a roof over my head but I also get to deepen my practice, meet people who attend my class and also put loose change in my pocket. I also welcomed the change in scenery from the tranquility of Upper Bhagsu to the hustle-and-bustle of McLeod Ganj. I took it as my tapas to walk from Upper Bhagsu all the way down to McLeod Ganj with all my 25-kilo luggage!
I was given a spacious ensuite room with a view of the Kangra Valley. There was wifi within the hotel surrounding. Filtered water was provided for at reception. With a water kettle, I could make my hot tea in the morning...something I welcome. The hotel was in the heart of the McLeod Ganj, but in the quiet area, just a short walking distance from the residence of His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama. I was close to the main temple and market. It was a perfect setting. I couldn't be more grateful.
The yoga place was more of a multi-purpose hall with lots of chairs to accommodate a small convention. Yoga mats were available but needed to be cleaned. The floor was wooden and windows were ample for cross ventilation and sunshine. There is however, a 91-year old lady living at the lower level so jumping or excessive noise was not allowed (she passed on during my stay there).
Yoga used to be offered at Pema Thang but the former teacher passed-on. It would have been a lot easier if I simply replaced a teacher with a regular following. I had to start from scratch - putting the word out to let people know yoga is offered. Posters for printing were made and I put up a banner on all my websites. Most of my friends who were interested were too far out into Upper Bhagsu. The first day, no one showed up.
My 2nd day class was attended to by an Indian couple in their late 30s who have never done yoga before. They were stiff and a little out of shape. But I was glad to see them try something new while on holidays. It was a good validation to see them back the following day with their teenage daughter with them. I could feel their enthusiasm as they recorded the entire class.
Most of the participants were in-house guests of the hotel except for 2 Italians who saw the poster and dropped-in. They wanted to attend more classes, but expectedly as travelers, they were there only for a few days.
As first timers,beginners and even those with experience, I found it more important to get them grounded on the theoreticals first - because studios don't usually touch on them. What is yoga? Why do yoga? What are the benefits? This was followed by basic foundations into the practice - taking the asanas all the way to their safety edge, synchronizing breath with motion, mindfulness in the poses, observing body sensation with a calm and equanimous mind, and putting the intention. I took them to basic asanas while applying all the elements at the same time. In short, I take the trouble to debunk the myth for newbies that yoga is not what they see in Instagram poses.
Ideally, I would like to have a morning class for beginners/first timers and an afternoon class for intermediate/advanced practioners. This should make everybody happy - including me.
On top of all the theoreticals and foundational elements, I had to inspire them to make them want to continue the practice even after leaving Dharamshala and back to their normal lives. At the risk of showing-off, I gave them my age and the unusual things I can do. I demonstrated a 2-knuckle one hand handstand underscoring strength and vitality. I stressed upon them that continued practice of yoga, pranayama and meditation, replaces medication, replaces visits to the doctor and replaces hospital bills. They won't get sick and they won't get old - my body was my own compelling example.
I found it odd and interesting for a Filipino like me to go to India and teach yoga to Indian nationals. It felt like teaching an Italian how to cook pasta. But as a yoga teacher at Pema Thang Guest House where guests are mostly Indians, that's how it happened.
I do hope that the yoga classes I conducted served as seed for their continuing practice. Health is wealth. With yoga, sickness is a thing of the past, ageing slows down to an turtle's pace and vitality is restored. As my yogini idol, Andrea Paige says, "the new paradigm is not about being healthy because you are not sick but being healthy because you have vitality and energy back into your life."

...Managed to sit down and bust out the remainder of part 2 of BGI even while working both jobs...GO ME!
.......My manager also has a habit of always inquiring me as to how many pager I've written. Next time, I'll have a more definitive answer...
D was quick to his window when he heard the lone gunshot. He had heard some gunfire from inside the school but figured that was just some of the scientists who miraculously survived the labs. Gunfire outside might mean one of the white-coats are trying to escape as opposed to the standard protocol of making it to the safe area of the school and awaiting evac. No one was allowed to leave, especially now since it was up to D to kill all the staff. He didn't need anyone slipping through the cracks, not if he was still stuck here and especially not if the person escaping is also the one responsible, or knew of a way around the lockdown.
He looked outside and bit his lip at what he saw. Students were shuffling about, some crowding around one of the broken down buses. Even from his vantage point he could tell most of them shouldn't be walking around. "Nobody told me the smaller Mosiers were capable of transmitting the virus," he said as he continued looking around until he saw two students running for the rear entrance. He exhaled and leaned back into his chair. The students weren't getting out.
There was still the matter of the staff inside the school. D knew he wasn't getting anything done sitting in his office. He patted down on his gun tucked into his belt for the millionth time before punching in the code for his door to unlock. He wanted nothing more than to ride this situation out in the safest possible place, but he was trusted with a more important job to do, and there was a reason he was getting paid and trusted to be in the position he was in.
The door to the equipment room in the gym was closed, but there wasn't a latch; it needed a key to work the deadbolt or it would swing open anyway. The door needed to be closed because almost three dozen dead bodies were scattered around the gym walking around or eating other students. Judd, Al and Mangan were all inside the equipment room looking for supplies for the injured students when the first of the dead started getting up. They stayed where they were while panicked and injured students ran about trying to escape, but all exits were either locked tight, or opened into a hallway full of more undead.
Al was holding the doors shut while Judd was looking over the gym equipment, trying to decide which would make good weapons. Mangan sat on the floor, racking his brain for an escape plan. "There's no other way out of this room," he said as Judd sized up a hockey stick, nodded and placed it next to another one he had set aside. "We hit up hallway 10 and fight our way out," he said as he checked out a new stick, shook his head and moved on.
"I'm not a fighter," Mangan said as Al turned around quickly and put a finger up to his lips. "Shh," he said "One is wandering nearby." Mangan bit his lip and thought some more. Despite being a grade lower than the others, Judd was a big guy, and could easily wield the hockey stick as a weapon, but Mangan wasn't so well off. Had he known this day would come, maybe he would've hit the weights a few times. Al wasn't much use either, being overweight and now very strong either. Judd was tough, but not tough enough to make up for the other two.
"The other doors were locked," Mangan remembers from the futile attempts of other students from before. So many had found their way into the gym when they realized that exiting the school was just as deadly. Some were severely injured and bled out in a matter of minutes; they were the first to later get up and start killing. "There was the one exit though," Mangan said in a low tone "It leads to the main office." No one had tried that exit because the dead were originally piled up by that doorway. Nobody tried exiting that way with all the undead by it.
"Those doors are on the other side of the gym. Our 'best bet' would be fighting our way out the back."
"That hallway is filled with more of those things. We leave that way, we'll be jumping out of the frying pan right into the fire."
Judd was actively failing several of his classes, despite Grime's already low standards. Mangan had no intentions of losing a debate with him. Judd thought for a moment as he pulled out one more hockey stick he deemed satisfactory. "I don't like it," he said "We're going for the 10 hallway and getting out. Maybe the chaos in there died down."
Mangan made a face. "So we push right for the exit? I like it," Al said as Judd nodded and handed him a hockey stick. It was a suicidal idea, but so was splitting up, so Mangan conceded and picked up a stick of his own. "Stay close," Judd said as he stepped forward and peered out into the gym from behind the doors.
Judd threw open the doors and charged out holding his stick horizontally out. He caught any undead and pushed them away, giving Mangan and Al room to run. "Go! Get to the doors!" he yelled as he continued forward. Al and Mangan made a left for the nearby exit; only one zombie lingered in their path. Al thrust down on it with his stick, but the blow did little to kill it. Mangan ran in and tripped it up before it could grab Al.
Al immediately went for the door and threw it open while motioning the others to follow. Mangan turned to see Judd throw his caught zombies down before running to catch up. Mangan then turned to Al just in time to see a mass of bloody hands reach from the outside and grab Al.
Mangan stood almost in shock as Judd shouldered passed and grabbed Al's outstretched hand. "Don't let go!" he screamed as more hands groped at his body and face. Judd tried to pull Al back into the gym but ultimately pushed the poor man out and slammed the door closed behind him to keep the zombies out.
"What do we do now?" Mangan screamed out frantically. They couldn't return to the equipment room, not without a way of closing the door. There was nowhere to hide. "We try your plan now," Judd said as he pushed ahead into the gym. Judd pushed passed a zombie and Mangan tried to stay close behind. He made a weak swing at an approaching ghoul, but it grabbed hold of his hockey stick and with a quick struggle, Mangan let go and ran to keep up hoping that Judd could make better use of his weapon.
The two zigzagged diagonally through the gym making for the other corner doors. The dozens of zombies were initially scattered, but now were bunching up behind the men as they reached the door. Judd ran full speed into the doors, but they didn't budge. "No!" Mangan screamed, wanting to drop to his knees in defeat.
Judd spun around to see the closing in horde, and took off running without missing a beat. "C'mon!" he yelled as he ran over and climbed up onto the stage. Mangan scrambled behind him just before the first undead student reached him. The zombies struggled to climb up behind them. They were slowed down, but Judd and Mangan couldn't afford to linger.
They moved the stage curtain aside and ran on. It was dark backstage but they could make out any obstacles. There was a movable barrier on the opposite side of the curtain that led to the cafeteria. That would require them to move over set pieces and piles of costumes and props, and it was also assuming the barrier wasn't locked in place. On the far side though was a standard door leading into the back lobby, which would give them an exit from the school. They reached it to find it too was locked, but the door was wooden as opposed to metal like the gym doors.
"I can bust this down easy," Judd said. "And if there are more out in that lobby?" Mangan asked. "Then we deal," Judd said as he turned and kicked the door. It didn't budge, but it gave off audible cracks. It wouldn't survive many more kicks. While Judd continued to assault the door, Mangan turned around to watch their backs. There were muffled moans from behind the curtain, but none of the undead were able to follow. Either they weren't able to climb up or the curtain proved too powerful of a deterrent.
Another kick from Judd gave off the sound of splintering wood. "Almost," Judd said as he caught his breathe and prepared to kick again. Mangan allowed himself to breathe easy as he scanned the dark of the backstage area. His eyes were adjusting to the darkness just as he began to take notice of an odd smell. It was a potent chemical scent that burned at his nostrils. He scanned through the dark trying to see of anything stood out as the origin.
One final blow from Judd allowed the door to swing open. Light flooded into the room as Mangan's eyes darted to the sign of movement from deep in the stage. A low, heavy growl sounded as Judd reached over and grabbed Mangan by the shoulder. "Let's go," he said as the two stumbled through and into the lobby.

205,965,824 | I think during my first post on this blog, I have made my status pretty much clear enough. In case you skipped that important announcement, (which I’m hoping you shouldn’t) I have officially tied the knot. That endless platinum & gold sparkling loop will now forever be around my left ring finger.
I can almost hear you say, congratulations! Or best wishes to you! Well, allow me to say thank you to that and to all who personally did so. Anyway, I know there are a lot of questions bugling your mind. Why you got married so early? Who’s that lucky man? What happens after your marriage? Well, well calm down you now, I hear you.
Let me just tell you my once – upon- a – time story in this way. I am a modern – day Cinderella who’s working her way on her career when a cross- culture Prince Charming came across. You might be thinking, he maybe then came for a rescue and swept me with his gallant nobleness. Well,I hate to break this up to you, but no. Surely just how Disney shaped our childhood.
Just to give you a run through, He is a full born Japanese while I have lived my entire life in the country Philippines. To make it brief, we met, by whatever magical term you call it; fate, destiny or soul mates. We’ve dated for a year then mutually discussed and decided for finally getting married. No surprises, on-his-knee proposal or a flash mob dancing whatsoever. Just me and him, discussing about it like it’s a sort of a long term business plan. Well just before you sigh and make an almost frowning- half disappointed face, let me tell you that for me, it’s all a real-time fairy tale come true.
Cross cultural relationship, how cool is that?! –I know right? You’ll began imagining how gorgeous and smart the babies will come out to be. Well, at least that’s what I heard of a result from an intercultural marriage. However, let’s just skip that chapter for now.
Going back, I wish I can tell you how wonderful the wedding turned out to be, but I might ran out of words to describe it.Walking in the aisle is every woman’s fantasy, so you all get the gist as to how I felt when I walked myself wearing that beautifully seamed all white wedding gown.
He cried, our parents cried, everyone cried, and of course I cried too. It’s a sensational feeling and a restful atmosphere surrounded with nothing but deep blue waves of the ocean and singing wind. Oh, did I just forget to mention it was a beach wedding?
I could not say it’s all then a happily-ever-after. The story never ends when Cinderella fits her glass slipper. IRL, I am now preparing myself to a new life ahead of me. This is no fun and games anymore.
Hey everyone! In behalf of this blog Twenty-two Forward, allow me to say a late yet genuinely happy 2018! I’ve been MIA from the beginning of the year but don’t worry 2018 has been treating me great! Anyway, how’s your 2018 so far?
Before fully kicking off the rest of this year, I thought it would only be fitting to give 2017 a last but certainly the best way to wrap it up. The past two years especially last year has been very kind to me. I may have posted and wrote a little about those things but it’s a year I am really thankful for.
Anyway, enough of the tearjerkers and lets hit things right off the bat. This video contains my life in Japan for the past two years. This blog will never have gone this far without these amazing places that I have traveled and shared to you guys. Compiling and writing about all my experiences has been one of the best decision I have ever made almost three years ago when I started Twenty-two Forward. As you can see, writing has always been something I’ve always enjoyed as well as capturing photos and videos. What made me even happier is knowing that a lot of you enjoyed it and hopefully get inspirations from it.
This video may a little be less than four minutes and squeezing the events of the past couple of years into one is almost close to impossible. That is why I will be posting them into two parts being this as PART 1. You may have also notice that compare to the previous videos I’ve posted on this website, this one is on Youtube. I may be a rookie in this platform but I would really appreciate your support 😉
If there’s a certain clip in the video that you are interested about (e.g food,place,event), chances are I have written about it on one of my previous blog posts or just feel free to leave your comment or questions down below.
I hope to bring you more amazing content this 2018 as this blog is reaching its third year. As for now, I really hope you enjoyed the video and let’s all cheers to an amazing and treasurable moments ahead! |

At each edition, research papers selected by a panel from hundreds of submissions are presented for discussion during a two-day event that includes keynote presentations, roundtables, and seminars.

Country Policy and Institutional Assessment (CPIA): This index measures and tracks the strength of policies and institutions in IDA-eligible countries since 1980. The information contained in the CPIA is valuable to governments, the private sector, civil society, researchers and the media as a tool to monitor their country’s progress and benchmark it against progress in other countries.

Impact Evaluation: The Africa Region of the World Bank has well over one hundred active impact evaluations, spanning the sectors, from health, education, social protection, and gender, to agriculture, infrastructure, and public sector reform. They include evaluations of World Bank projects but also evaluations of other government and non-governments organization programs that have relevance to eliminating extreme poverty and increasing the quality of life for women and men across the African continent.

Agriculture in Africa – Telling Facts from Myths: Governments, donors, and the private sector are investing billions of dollars in Africa’s agriculture. A thorough bottom-up update is needed to guide these investments, establish baselines, and ground the agricultural policy dialogues. This initiative addresses this void, using the Living Standards Measurement Study-Integrated Surveys on Agriculture (LSMS-ISA). The surveys are conducted in 6 countries, representing 40 percent of the population in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The Africa Regional Studies Program is the World Bank’s main vehicle to produce and disseminate high quality research and analysis on development challenges facing the entire Sub-Saharan continent or a sub-set of countries in the region. The focus of the Africa Regional Studies varies every year, reflecting current policy questions in Sub-Saharan African countries. It has covered such issues as youth employment, conflict, vulnerability and risk, and structural transformation, among others.
This study looks explicitly into how climate change will affect both existing and planned infrastructure in the energy, transboundary water, and roads sectors, and provides specific information on strengthening the resilience of infrastructure that will be built in the future.
This report recommends policy actions needed at the various phases of Africa’s demographic transition and uses global and regional experiences to provide evidence on what has worked and what has not. Countries have a menu of options available to speed up the transition, improve investment in the resulting youth cohort, expand labor markets, and encourage savings.
This report examines obstacles faced by households and firms in meeting the youth employment challenge in Sub-Saharan Africa. It focuses primarily on productivity, in agriculture, in nonfarm household enterprises, and in the modern wage sector, because productivity is the key to higher earnings as well as to more stable, less vulnerable, livelihoods
This report provides estimates of the effects of lower transport costs on economic activity in rural areas, improves the empirical understanding of the pathways through which transport infrastructure alters economic outcomes, evaluates options for actual investments, and identifies areas where transport infrastructure would generate the highest benefits.
This report closely examines the statistics on poverty in African countries by reviewing the data used to produce national poverty estimates, taking a critical look at their availability, quality and comparability; assessing the broad facts about poverty; and exploring various dimensions of inequality in the Region.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of agriculture public spending in Africa with an attempt to provide guidance and pragmatic policy advice to governments on the cost effectiveness of various programs and investments needed to enhance productivity of African agriculture for ending poverty and boosting shared prosperity on the continent.
The speed at which society is changing in Africa is putting a strain on institutions, and pushing them to transform rapidly. It also risks rendering them illegitimate and ineffective. This study examines the external stresses as well as the dynamics that affect institutions, in an attempt to understand the drivers of fragility and the factors of resilience.
These two-page Macroeconomic and Poverty Outlooks are jointly produced by the Poverty and Macroeconomics & Fiscal Management Global Practices of the World Bank.
Each country note contains (click on country-name for pdf): an overview of recent macroeconomic and poverty developments; the outlook, including forecasts for major macroeconomic variables in 2016-18; and a brief discussion of critical challenges for economic growth, macro stability, and poverty reduction moving forward.

While in prison, Bukharin wrote four books, of which this unfinished novel was the last. It traces the development of Nikolai "Kolya" Petrov (closely modeled on Nikolai "Kolya" Bukharin) from his early childhood to age fifteen. In lyrical and poetic terms, it paints a picture of Nikolai's growing political consciousness and ends with his activism on the eve of the failed 1905 revolution. The novel is presented here along with the only surviving letter from Bukharin to his wife during his time in prison, an epistle filled with fear, longing, and hope for his family and his nation

"Bukharin wrote his Philosophical Arabesques in the Lubyanka Prison in Moscow, facing trial on charges of treason and execution after he was found guilty. After the death of Lenin, Bukharin co-operated with Stalin for a time. Once Stalin's supremacy was assured he began eliminating all potential rivals. For Bukharin, the process was to end with his confession before the Soviet court, facing the threat that his young family would be killed along with him if he did not." "While awaiting his death, Bukharin wrote prolifically. He considered Philosophical Arabesques as the most important of his prison writings. In its pages, he covers the full range of issues in Marxist philosophy - the sources of knowledge, the nature of truth, freedom and necessity, the relationship of Hegelian and Marxist dialectic. The project constitutes a defense of the genuine legacy of Lenin's Marxism against the use of his memory to legitimate totalitarian power." "Consigned to the Kremlin archives for a half-century after Bukharin's execution, this work is now being published for the first time in English. It will be an essential reference work for scholars of Marxism and the Russian revolution and a landmark in the history of prison writing."--BOOK JACKET

Everyone knows that rowing machine holiday sales typically offer the best savings and discounts. We're all aware of Black Friday, the largest offline retail sales day of the year, and Cyber Monday, the largest online retail sales day of the year.
But what about the rest of the calendar? Are there other times that you can save a lot on a new rowing machine, or are those really as good as it gets. Let's take a closer look...
The day after Thanksgiving is a huge day for retailers, and there is a ton of competition to capture the millions of holiday shoppers that are busting down the doors looking for great deals. As such, all retailers offer some of their lowest prices of the year on Black Friday.
If a new rowing machine costs $1200 when it's not on sale, and $900 on sale, you might find it for $750 on Black Friday. If it's being replaced for the new year, it might be discounted further.
Online retailers have jumped on the bandwagon, offering their own special discounts to satisfy buyers who prefer not to deal with the hustle and bustle of Black Friday store traffic. Who can blame them?
So you'll find some really great deals online, from brands such as NordicTrack, ProForm and Life Fitness, sometimes up to 50% off. These deals tend to continue through the weekend and into Cyber Monday, when companies are trying their best to sell as much as they can.
So bottom line is: Keep an eye on rowing machine prices leading into Black Friday. If you see a good deal, go for it. It will probably not get much better than that, but you can wait until Cyber Monday if need be. Just make sure they don't run out of stock or the rower is backordered.
Great rower sales are not confined to Black Friday and Cyber Monday. In fact, there are some other great deals to be had throughout the year.
Pre-Christmas/Post Christmas - Many companies will offer special deals leading into Christmas, to clear out inventory and make way for new models. They may not have sold everything they wanted to sell and that could be good news for you.
Post Christmas is a huge sales time as well. Many people are exchanging gifts or spending holiday money. Retailers know this so you can see some huge discounts during this time.
New Years Week - The first week of the year is perhaps the biggest sale time of the year, especially for rowing machines and other cardio equipment. Why is that? Well, everybody makes those New Year's resolutions right? And what's always at the top of the list? Eating better and getting back into shape...again!
So if you didn't get that rower on Black Friday, Cyber Monday or anytime in December, the first week of the year is a great time to get some amazing deals. Everyone is buying cardio equipment and retailers are competing big time for your business.
Rest of January Sales - January is also when companies are clearing out whatever they have left over from the previous year, before they get stuck with inventory. We've seen rowing machines up to 50% and even 60% off during this time. The entire month is a big one of online retailers especially.
Valentine's and President's Day - Although not as big as December/January holiday sales, you can often find some very good deals in February, still a hot time for fitness sales, on Valentine's Day and President's Day. Don't fret if you've waited this long...you can still save money.
March through October - things definitely start to slow down a bit towards the end of February and into March, but there are still deals to be had. Starting with Easter in March and moving on to Mother's Day and Memorial Day in May, Father's Day in June, Independence Day in July, Back to School sales in August, Labor Day in September and Columbus Day and Halloween in October, all of those holidays will have special sales associated with them.
Sometimes the rowing machine sales will last for a day, sometimes a few days, but you can get some nice discounts during any of those sale days.
Sure, Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales will typically offer the very lowest prices of the year, so if you can wait until then, you'll definitely get your rowing machine at a very substantial discount.
Still, other holiday times throughout the year offer very comparable sales, especially in December and January, so you don't need to make yourself crazy waiting for the very lowest price.
For example, the RW200 rower from NordicTrack retails for $1,299. Regular sale price is $599. During the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale we saw it as low as $529. It is currently on sale for $549 (pre-Christmas)
So even if you miss that basement price of $529, you can still get it on sale for $20 more during holiday times, or worst case scenario, $599 during a regular sale.
Bottom line, don't get too hung up on the holiday rowing machine sales. You can find some really great savings throughout the year, especially during the major holidays. Happy shopping! |
48,086,235 | Well, no spoilers, but that was a good movie. I'm much more satisfied with Howard than Abrams or Johnson. And unlike some movies, there were actual consequences inside it.
Disney burned the franchise to the ground with Last Jedi. It's obvious they have no overarching story to tell with this "trilogy". It's nothing more than a nostalgia fueled money grab at this point, so I refuse to participate. To paraphrase James T. Kirk - "Let it die!"
Personally I liked Rogue One much better. But Solo more amusing in some ways. Can we start putting in spoilers now?
I thought it was a 'meh' Star Wars movie. It relied on "hey you remember THING?" and crammed all of Han's life events together too much for my liking. Although it did ensure that everything felt alive and.. Star Warsy.
It was a pretty great space adventure/heist movie. It was done competently, the effects were pretty good, the writing was for the most part solid, etc. I don't know if I'd watch it again, but I would certainly tell others to watch it at least once.
So while I think it could have been better (or should have been a short TV series), it was light years ahead of the Disney Trilogy. It feels like the only people who actually care or know about Star Wars are the ones doing these anthology movies.

Those of you who've been following along the last few months will know that we've reached the end of our 10-week series on how to increase happiness.
1. Meditate - the research regarding its health benefits is impressive, and developing a practice may be less time consuming than you think.
2. Prioritize sleep - go to bed and get up at the same time, avoid using backlit devices before bed, and get some sun in those eyes soon after waking.
3. Exercise - research suggests it may be as effective as antidepressants in treating depression. The recommended "dose" is 5 days/week of moderate-intensity exercise (e.g. brisk walk) lasting at least 30 minutes, or 3 days/week of intense exercise (jogging) lasting at least 20 minutes.
4. Help others - it's been shown to significantly improve a range of psychological factors including confidence, self-awareness, self-esteem, depression, well-being, social-connectedness, life satisfaction, and coping.
5. Notice your emotions - it's hard to know why we're generally unhappy if we habitually attempt to avoid or ignore negative emotions when they arise. Practice being mindful of your emotions, particularly negative ones.
6. Notice and challenge judgments - our judgments allow us to process information more quickly, but they also distort reality in consistent ways. When we consistently fail to notice or challenge them they can start to wreak havoc on our lives.
7. Validate others - validation is the art of communicating to another person that you understand their perspective and can relate to their emotions. It's also an extraordinarily effective strategy for getting your needs met in a relationship and helping other people change their behavior.
8. Maintain a balanced diet - research shows that our perceptions of nutrition are often distorted: we are extreme in our categorizations of food and approaches to dieting. Rather than focusing on cutting out meals or avoiding certain foods altogether, aim for a balanced diet. And DO NOT underestimate the effect food has on your mood.
9. Self-soothe - research confirms that we do not handle complex tasks well when overwhelmed. Develop strategies to quickly regulate your system, including diaphragmatic breathing and temperature manipulation, in order to be more effective in situations that require you to think on your feet.
10. Avoid avoidance - if situations, deadlines, or people make you anxious, your best strategy is to seek them out. By practicing exposure to, rather than avoidance of, the things that trigger your anxiety, you get used to them and over time your anxiety decreases. This age old wisdom applies even to those of us with mild anxiety: you must confront your fear to overcome it.
As I suggested at the beginning of this series, my experience has been that attending to these 10 factors can significantly improve one's life. The majority of the evidence-based therapy approaches in psychology focus on these factors to various degrees because they directly affect a range of psychological issues including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, marital satisfaction, parenting, and overall quality of life.
If you have made efforts to work on the aforementioned factors but are still struggling, or if you could use additional support in addressing them, consider contacting a mental health professional. Cognitive-behavioral therapists, specifically, are often well-trained in how to target these issues.

Hi my name is Tegan. I am 22 years old and live in the beautiful South Coast town of Keiraville. My child care experience spans across a 7 year time period where I have undertaken various roles within day-care centres, private homes and the tourism industry.
As a personal nanny I have worked with numerous families big and small and with older and younger children. I am comfortable within the domestic environment and always happy to cook, clean and maintain the family schedule. I appreciate the value of a clean and tidy home and conduct myself accordingly. As a nanny with my previous family I was privileged to have the responsibility to care for and nurture their youngest son from the age of 3 months.
During the summer of 2009/2010 I undertook the challenging role of Kids Club Team Leader on the beautiful Long Island Resort in the Queensland Whitsundays. My role involved the care of children aged between 4 and 14 years as well as the programming of activities and events. Within this role I also had the pleasure of working privately for families as a carer for children as young as 4 months old.
My sense of adventure and love of snow lead me to hold a role as a Childs Ski instructor for Perisher during the winters of 2008 and 2009. Whilst my main role was working with children aged 3-5 years I was often called upon to work as a special needs instructor as well as within the primary school and teen aged programs. During these winters I also worked part time at Smiggins Hotel within their Kids Club program caring for children from 2months to 14 years.
I thoroughly enjoy working with children and helping them to develop and grow into bright little beings, I am on the search for a family to help care for whom share similar values and philosophies. Please do not hesitate to contact me at anytime. Kind Regards Tegan |
187,896,560 | I'm sure you guys have seen the announcement for the G7 (800$ 4k camera). http://www.wired.com/2015/05/panasonics-lumix-g7-offers-affordable-intro-4k/
I've heard a lot of people saying it will be a good backup to the GH4, but do you guys think its BETTER than the gh3?
For VIDEO purposes I think the gh3 might still hold an edge (weather sealed, wifi, higher bit rates, no stop record times) , but I would love some input .
g7 has the same 4k capabilities as the gh4 (same bitrate/framerate I think), but its 1080p is limited to like 28mbps or something. It also has a different sensor, although i'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing
I was originally planning to do a post about Google Buzz this weekend, but then something reminded me about Google Wave. I don’t know about you, but I haven’t heard anything about Wave in weeks. It occurred to me that one of the most hyped products of 2009 might have fallen completely on it’s face. Ever since Wave was announced at Google I/O last May, there was non-stop hype surrounding the product on Twitter and tech blogs. The hype continued up to the end of September when Google opened up Wave to over 100,000 people, and then for another few weeks while people begged for invites on Twitter and other sites. By the end of October, I had over 25 contacts on Wave and managed to get the bulk of my web-savvy friends using the service. By the middle of November, it seemed like everyone who was remotely interested in Wave had received an invite. Google Wave finally dropped off the trending topics on Twitter and it seemed like the invite hype was effectively dead. It’s been over 2 months since the last activity in my Wave inbox and I can’t help but wonder, what happened?
I don’t think there’s one single reason why Google Wave hasn’t taken off like many expected it would. I’m sure there are still some people who are actively using it, but I’m fairly certain that these people are in the minority. For some reason, Wave was unable to really hook users and provide them with a reason to keep coming back. I think the main issue is the serious overlap that exists between Wave and many of the other services we are already using today. Back in October, I wrote about Wave and explained it as a blend of email, instant messaging, and document collaboration. Unfortunately, it was not good enough at any one of these tasks to win over enough users. GMail is a way better email client. Text messaging, Twitter, and instant messaging are still far better options for instant communication. Wave is slow and awkward for instant messaging between two people. It’s still pretty good for document/code collaboration but I’m not sure it can be used in a practical sense. It’s missing some essential features that you would find in MS Word or even Google Docs.
Furthermore, I really feel like Wave missed the mark with the user interface. They tried really hard to create a fresh looking UI, but broke some of the basic conventions we’ve become accustomed to. The scrollbars are over-engineered and it’s frustrating to work with the Edit/Done buttons. The nested replies and custom privacy functions were neat, but they often became confusing and glitchy. Finally, deleting a wave from the inbox didn’t actually delete it. If another user posted in that wave, it would return. These sort of user experience quirks made it difficult for even savvy internet users to get the hang of Wave. I think the developers explored some pretty cool concepts, but I’m not sure all of their “improvements” were necessary.
Can Wave make a comeback and become a technology that we can’t live without? I don’t really see this happening in it’s current form. There’s just too much overlap. However, I think Wave introduced some fascinating technologies with their federation protocol and the ability to handle many simultaneous edits via the use of their transformations. There are plenty of applications where Google could merge some Wave features into their existing products. One of the mistakes Google made with Wave was not integrating it into GMail. Just last week Google integrated their new Buzz product into GMail. The result is pretty mixed, as some users are not happy with a social network invading their inbox. However, I think Wave would be able to complement some of the existing functionality of GMail without it feeling like it was just awkwardly shoved in there or invading privacy.
It’s funny how quickly things can change in this technology landscape. If you read my post from late October, you will see that I was very positive about Wave catching on and becoming a daily tool of mine. Clearly, I was blinded by the hype just like everyone else. I’m still really excited to see what happens in the future for Wave. |

I tried searching similar threads but could not find a solution for my model of Acer and the wireless device.
Like you I have the AR242x 802.11abg and it works a treat on 9.04. I would suggest that unless you have a particular need for the Long Term Supported version you work with 9.04.
I initially used the live CD for 9.04 when it was in beta and it worked immediately. When the final issue arrived there was no problem on a full install.
I have the same issue on Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 on the acer aspire one. However, wifi works so I don't care. For the UNR, I seem to remember that another kernel will do the trick.

I have been having some trouble with my head lately. The last time I wrote, I told you I was feeling restless, and it’s still true- restlessness paired with discontent can quickly boil over into a gummy mess of self loathing. I am trying to avoid that. I’ve sat here and written parts of several posts that I decided were entirely too whiny, and I was too embarrassed to publish them. I have nothing to complain about, really. Or at least, that is what I tell myself- that because I have a particular set of circumstances that might be a little less troubling than the circumstances of “some people” (whoever they might be), I am not allowed to dislike anything about my life.
Although I realize on a certain level that is bullshit- my feelings about my life are absolutely valid, no matter how good I might have it- I also understand that complaining is pretty useless. So I am not going to do that. What I am going to do is tell the truth, and the truth for me is- I struggle with my moods. I am not moody enough to warrant medication, nor is that something I want for myself, but it is a struggle nonetheless. I have a mind that will seize upon an unpleasant thought and spin it into an astounding and terrible scenario, and it can propel me into anxiety the likes of which I wouldn’t wish upon my worst enemy- if I had a worst enemy, which I don’t think I do. Anyway, I believe this is called “catastrophic thinking”, and it is part of having anxiety, which I thought was something I suffered from occasionally, not something I “had” until I said this to my therapist, and she actually started laughing. I don’t think your therapist is supposed to laugh at you, but I forgive her. Apparently, I’m an anxious person. You know, I masked every single thing about my actual personality with drugs for so long, that I am still figuring out who I really am. Or who I am now, I guess. So yes, I am anxious. I am moody. I am very hard on myself, most of the time.
But lately, this has all morphed into this weird blah-ness, this kind of “meh” feeling, and it just sucks. Half of me wants to run off and have this big, juicy, adventurous life, and the other half of me is like “Just watch TV, Courtney. There’s no point in having to put on shoes.” And of course, I am making it sound funny so that it doesn’t sound that bad, but in truth…in truth, I am grappling with some dangerous thoughts. Things like quitting my job, which would not be in my best interest right now, and quitting recovery, which might not be in my best interest ever. Sigh. I don’t know what is going on. Perhaps I’m having a mid-life crisis? Is that applicable for women? I don’t want to run out and buy a street bike and date a blonde half my age, so…it’s hard to say.
So, rather than do anything drastic that might shake up my life a little more than I am bargaining for, I am going to go back to the things that have worked for me before. I am going to do the things that make me feel good by default, such as- going to the beach. Going to the gym (it really does feel good after you actually get there). Eating less bacon- I know this sounds counter intuitive, but trust me, too much bacon does not a happy girl make- it’s one of those pleasures in life that needs to be spaced out a little bit. Also, clearing my space- I swear to God, I accumulate possessions at the speed of light. Oh! And that’s another thing- stop compulsively ordering shit I don’t need off of Amazon. It’s just another attempt to self-soothe, I know this, and yet…no, I don’t need anymore books right now!
I am capable of great happiness- I think we all are. But the trick, I think, is realizing that no one feels perfectly happy all the time. And maybe some of us feel the bumps in the road a little more than others, and that’s okay, too. But the big truth is, we are all responsible for creating lives that feel good enough for ourselves, and when life doesn’t feel good, we have a responsibility to ourselves to fix it, or to figure out what isn’t working and make adjustments. I am impatient, so I want everything to be better RIGHT NOW- I want to throw it all away and start over. Oh, I’m having a bad week? Well, obviously, I should quit my job, move across the country, and become a homesteader who makes her own soap, right?
No…no, I don’t think that’s how this is going to go down. I think, today, I will just start with taking a walk, washing the dishes, and being a little more gentle with myself. And maybe tomorrow, we’ll see where I’m at. Maybe tomorrow, it will feel a little better.

102,730,206 | The Commodore 1541 disk drive is unlike anything you’ll ever see in modern computer hardware. At launch, the 1541 cost almost as much as the Commodore 64 it was attached to ($400, or about $1040 at today’s value). This drive had a CPU, and had its own built-in operating system. Of course, anyone using a Commodore 64 now doesn’t deal with this drive these days — you can buy an SD2IEC for twenty dollars and load all your C64 games off an SD card. If you’re cheap, there’s always the tape drive interface and a ten dollar Apple Lightning to 3.5mm headphone adapter.
But the SD2IEC isn’t compatible with everything, and hacking something together using the tape drive doesn’t have the panache required of serious Commodoring. What’s really needed is a cycle-accurate emulation of the 1541 disk drive, emulating the 6502 CPU and the two 6522 VIAs in this ancient disk drive. The Raspberry Pi comes to the rescue. [Steve White] created the Pi1541, an emulation of the Commodore 1541 disk drive that runs on the Raspberry Pi 3B.
Pi1541 is a complete emulation of the 6502 and two 6522s found inside the Commodore 1541 disk drive. It runs the same code the disk drive does, and supports all the fast loaders, demos, and copy protected original disk images that can be used with an original drive.
The only hardware required to turn a Raspberry Pi 3 into a 1541 are a few transistors in the form of a bi-directional logic level shifter, and a plug for a six-pin serial port cable. This can easily be constructed out of some Sparkfun, Adafruit, Amazon, or AliExpress parts, although we suspect anyone could whip up a Raspberry Pi hat with the same circuit in under an hour. The binaries necessary to run Pi1541 on the Raspberry Pi are available on [Steve]’s website, and he’ll be releasing the source soon.
This is a great project for the retrocomputing scene, although there is one slight drawback. Pi1541 requires a Raspberry Pi 3, and doesn’t work on the Raspberry Pi Zero. That would be an amazing bit of software, as ten dollars in parts could serve as a complete emulation of a Commodore disk drive. That said, you’re still likely to be under $50 in parts and you’re not going to find a better drive emulator around.
SD2IEC are fine for quick disk shuffling, loading disks you doiwnloaded from internet, making backup copies of your personal disks to SD card, etc but it’s not real good for many uncracked commercial games that uses custom fastloader code since that is what fails on SD2IEC. There are UK1541 and 1541 Ultimate but they costs a few hundred dollars and are more for hard core C64 fans.
If you still have working 1541 drive (or 1571), you can use disk copy program to copy from disk images to real disk and run games off those real disks.
I got a 1541 Ultimate II+ last year and this thing is insane. emulates 4 1541/1571 drives, tapes, twin SIDS, Ethernet, DAC audio, 16MB memory expansion (watching color nuvie videos on C64 is crazy) ROM replacement including SX64 and jiggydos, cartridge emulation including fastload and action reply with freeze functions. FTP, telnet lets you hot swap out data in the memory expantion using DMA in realtime without freezing.
Also made it real easy to use a disk copy to get my old disks onto a flash card. I wound up killing a 1541’s VIA chip getting a homemade PC parallel to C64 serial adapter to work.
I got a Ultimate 1541 II+ waiting for me at the post office, but cannot get it today. It sure is pretty amazing though as it can be used with both the C64 and the C128 and it supports carts, copy protected disks and copy protected tapes. Also it can give you the 16mb REU RAM so you can run some C64 REU based videos.
1980s? What about 1990s? Need we remind that auto repair shop in Gdansk and it’s C64 based system for balancing driveshafts that runs already almost 30 years? I also heard of some textile company using C64 for production control. It’s a pitty that C64 is remembered as entertainment platform and many of it’s uses got completly forgotten:
I found the original ones most useful. Me and my brother bother learned computers and programming on them. including loading in a spreadsheet and word proc app byte by byte to help with school work. The original monitor was also dual useful since it had a composite in port so I could watch movies straight from a VCR.
Exactly. CBM stands for Commodore Business Machines. They had lots of business use cases back in the day, just like a PC– when IBM wasn’t nearly as interested in the PC as they were their (more expensive) mainframe and (to some extent) their AS/400 platforms.
Of course it was. I ran a business from one, programming eproms, writing code in my own assembler for microcontrollers. I kept a client database, made documents and forms on it. Still a capable machine.
The extents to which the retro-Commodore set will go to get/keep their gear running _certainly_ qualifies as “serious Commodoring”. Even when they’re just playing games.
Stupid question here, but why can’t this be run from a Pi 1 or Pi 2? Is it a computing power/resources issue?
A lot of us have those older units kicking around and it’d be nice to put them to use without sacrificing a Pi 3.
but seriously, cycle accurate can be a killer. Personally I wouldnt bother, you can get most(if not all) c64 games pre cracked anyway, I dont see the magic in waiting 30-60 seconds for disk load.
It’s not the crack, it’s the software loader that speeds up disk load time. They work on real 1541/1571 but because SD2IEC does not emulate 1541 100%, the turbo loader fails.
Look for Ultima 5 disk images and load the Program disk. On a C64 and on 128 in 64 mode, you will see a screen asking which disk drive you are using. If you choose 1541 while running off SD2IEC, the game will crash. If you choose other, it will load fine but at very slow load speed (original serial speed!)
crack/patch, are there still any non patched games left? are there still any people alive playing them?
At the outset I fully intended to get is to work on a Pi Zero. It almost works on a Pi2. I just have not had the time to investigate why not. It is currently multi-core at the moment. One core runs the emulator whilst the other handles USB interrupts and updates the screen. I have no doubt that after I release the source (soon) it will be ported to all kinds of devices.
Release the Source! We’ll help solve all those problems. Seriously if it’s open source there’s no reason not to open it now
So hilarious! The commodore DOS for C64 and the PET, was so unfinished as to barely be called a disk operating system! I never understood why they didn’t make a better implementation.
On the other hand, that DOS allowed you to use the drive as a coprocessor. If there would have been something like Bitcoin in the 1980s, people would have written bitcoin miners for the Commodore disk drives so they’d have something to do while you’re not downloading file “$”.
I remember code in one of the RUN magazine that you could set drive 8 and 9 to automatically copy disk. Once you sent the code to both disk drive, you could disconnect C64 and it’d run by itself copying disks all day long.
scsi can do this with very little help as the bus is similar. there were even commercial cd cloning devices available. not true standalone, but very close
Are you sure that Timex FDD3000 couldn’t do this? It was a complete computer with two floppy drives.
They did make a better implementation. The 4000 & 8000 series PETs had a much better DOS than the C64, but those machines were limited to 32K RAM. In order to squeeze 64K RAM + kernel + BASIC into the C64, they were limited to 4K ROM for BASIC & 4K for kernel, and the DOS functionality was crippled as a result.
As primitive as the dos seemed it have an advantage in that the drives were intelligent devices so the host did not have to care about the details of the file system.
Yes, you only needed to care about paying for a drive as much as you already paid for the computer in the first place!
I always assumed it was Tramiels “brilliant” plan of selling more MOS chips at big markup. After all alternative would be sourcing real floppy controller chip like NEC 765 or WD1771, you know, like normal people did, aka everyone.
Hmmm, ship a cartridge with controller chip, small rom and address decoder plus STANDARD floppy? or whole effing computer at huge margin? choices choices…
Had they done that way, they would have needed a filesystem and FDD driver on the C64 side taking up valuable space in the very limited ROM space of the C64. Giving the disk drive its own CPU, RAM and ROM meant the disk drive interface was fairly simple and didn’t require very much in the way of ROM and RAM space in the C64 itself.
somehow everyone else managed with onboard ram without selling you kitchen sinks, not to mention Apple 2 Woz machine hack in 4 KB ram computer.
Yes, which brings this whole discussion full circle … the drives were more expensive because the machine itself was cheaper.
Drives were more expensive because they packed almost whole another C64 inside. At the end of 1983 C64 cost ~$200, precisely the difference between Tandon TM100-1 and 1541. You paid 2x more for 10x slower drive.
Yes, they had to pack more intelligence into the disk drive, to compensate for the cheaper (lower spec) main unit. My understanding of it is that C64 was targeted at a lower price point, and so corners were cut. The version of BASIC used was an older version with “very poor disk support” because it used half the RAM and they didn’t envisage disks to be that popular with their target market.
You might have a point that the C64 disk drive was poorly designed and implemented and had a whole load of redundant hardware, but that wasn’t for the want of trying …
C64 is not a multi threaded machine, no one needs non blocking IO. Why put another computer inside the drive when your main one will just be sitting there waiting for an answer, “serial” port is polled and bitbanged anyway because of “brilliant” hardware design. All this when you just needed a pass thru cartridge with floppy controller chip, additional ROM for disk handling code, and mapper (PAL/GAL, for pass thru). You could even get rid of third chip giving up pass thru, dedicating expansion port solely to the floppy.
what is this? Precisely what I am describing :) It was called 3.5″ The Ultimate Drive TIB PLC DD-001 and was made by third party. Uses 82C765 floppy controller chip. From test in zzap64 magazine:
Standard PC drive, ROM, and standard 82C765 floppy controller chip instead of whole computer crammed into huge box, 20x faster than out of the box Commodore 1541.
I suspect it was Commodore management driven design, and we all know how good that was cough C128, cough A600, cough CDTV, cough CD32.
Well that’s it exactly? Why would they undermine their whole business model (i.e. vertically integrated manufacturing to reduce costs) by buying in chips from a 3rd party? Just so that some hardware afficionado 30 years later can laud their parsimonious design aesthetic? That makes no sense.
Commodore brought personal computers to the masses by doing it cheap and nasty, but “good enough”. It makes no sense to consider the cost of the 1541 without considering the cost of the original unit.
You are comparing Apples with Apples, which is fine but you’re forgetting about the rest of the basket.
This was actually noted by one of the design engineers in an early magazine article. They purposely used an old version of BASIC with limited disk support because the more up to date version was double the size. He said it was a painful decision but since they expected it to be mostly used with tapes anyway they decided to save the disk space. Only read this a couple of weeks ago but if I can remember where I’ll post the link.
Actually this supports files which 1541 Ultimate doesn’t support, yet. I think the point was this is a $40 project that you can build yourself, instead of ordering a $200ish 1541 Ultimate and come away with a sense of accomplishment that you got it working.
This looks great and could be interesting if teamed up with the raspberry pi touch screen. One thing though, I wonder if it would be possible to design something similar but instead of using an ss card to store your images on, access a network share instead? I’ve got all my d64 images on a NAS and would love the ability to access them using something like this ..
I actually started to implement code for the official Raspberry Pi touch screen. Then thought that they were so expensive, very few would actually use it. I then thought about supporting all kinds of low res inexpensive SPI screens. My goal was always to keep the hardware as inexpensive as possible. Then one day I thought that the cheapest, hires touch screen is the one everybody owns already. I’m currently developing a smartphone app that can be used to communicate with the Pi via BlueTooth.
I think it would be cool for a 2 row display similar to the TAPIUNO so that simple navigation is possible.
Exactly what I was trying to accomplish with a Pi Zero, using a bare metal kernel (this do that as well), but lost interest. Nice to see it is not impossible.
Maybe I’ll give it another go, but with the ESP32 this time. I guess it would be possible to run emulation on one core.
That’d be nice. You could have internet/lan access aswell and load the data alternatively from a NAS.
So if you plug a Mach 5 cartridge into your C64 and use this drive emulator, do you still get the same weird glitches as the original?
I’ve still got all my floppies. But I haven’t touched them in 25 years. I would be greatly surprised if any of them still load, even just to copy.
A few years ago, I bought an original copy of M.U.L.E. from eBay. Although 30+ yrs old, it loaded and ran perfectly! :-)
Maybe I missed it, but being cycle for cycle doesn’t mean it can be faster. Does this deliver data much faster than the HP-IB interface?
I had the origional C64 and a 1541 and learned to program on it inand a Commodore PET with a whopping 4k of memory. should be fun to build but what are other logic levelers other then the sparkfun bob12009. I am looking on eBay and Amazon for the needed parts.
HACK&Co is committed to a remarkable service standard. It's not enough to just be good, we want our clients to be so proud of choosing to work with us that they can't help but tell others about us. Here are some of the reviews we've received so far, please feel free to check them live on Google, RankMyAgent, and FB to get them first hand.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Taylor Hack and his team when selling my home. From day 1, Taylor was extremely helpful and had great suggestions for sales strategies based on much experience and market research. All throughout the sale and negotiations Taylor and his team made the entire process run smoothly and quickly handled any issues that came up. If the time ever comes when I will be looking to buy or sell my home, there isn't any question on who my Realtor will be!
HACK&Co sold my condo in record time. Christian provided excellent advice, accurate pricing recommendations, and was always available throughout the sales process.
Super professional, and very personable. Very efficient system to accommodate showings. Also super supportive during the many showings we had, definitely recommend them!
It has been a pleasure working with Christian, Taylor, Christine and Jayme. It definitely takes a team to sell a home, and that is exactly how Hack and Co work. Very professional and supportive. Would definitely recommend Hack and Co to anyone interested in selling their home.
Taylor was so great throughout the whole home buying process. As first time home buyers we were worried about how stressful buying a home would be but Taylor and his team made it fun and enjoyable! He gave us all the information and tools we needed to make the right decision for us. We couldn't be happier with our home. We can't thank Taylor enough for his excellent service. Would highly recomend for anyone buying or selling a house.
When we contacted Taylor Hack & Co about listing our home, we were treated with respect. They truly cared that our experience with them was the best possible and that the process was seamless and professional. We got timely information about the value of our home and what options were available to us. I would recommend Taylor Hack & Co to anyone who wants the best experience selling or buying a home. |
179,138,989 | The Art of War is the forty-sixth episode of Exo-Squad, and the last character-focused one before the endgame. Bronski & Takagi are tasked with bringing explosives and a demolitions expert to the resistance, to blow up a new Neo base at an unknown location in northern Canada. The methodology, booby-trap some supplies headed that way. The monkey-wrench, General Livia is using the train to bring great artwork to Phaeton City, which greatly angers Phaeton and presents a dilemma to our heroes. They booby-trap the particle accelerator being shipped, steal the art, and then let the Neos blow the train to the bottom of the Bering Strait. Along the way, romance blossoms between Wolf & Eve Hanley.
What Works: I like the idea behind this episode, in theory. A little breather, check in on the resistance, give Bronski a chance to bond with someone. And the execution is basically solid. (But, see below.)
It *IS* nice to check in on the Resistance, especially absent Napier. (I like Napier, but he tends to dominate.) With him gone, Eve as leader of this cell works quite a bit better. Here you see all of their frames. Left to right: J.J. in a utility frame, Jinx in his firefighter frame, Tanaka in his samurai frame, Voodoo in an intelligence frame, and Picasso in the troop transport frame. Oh, and of course Even in the quite beat-up Aerial Attack e-frame that probably was once owned by Marsh.
J.J. and Picasso in particular get a chance to shine. J.J. again comes across as quite clever and a bit snarky. And how could one in good conscience do an art-themed episode and not feature an established graffiti artist named Picasso?
Eve and Wolf basically works. He's the working-class schlub, she's the cultured good-girl, but thrown together in war and sure, why not? The series never quite gets a home-run in its attempts to do romance, but I do appreciate the effort. Nice use of the aurora borealis.
Kaz and Wolf's friendship is firmly established by this point, and in many ways Kaz is now the alpha of the pair. They've come a long way from the first episode's "don't cramp my style, kid" with Wolf happily cheering Kaz on as the kid comes to his rescue yet again. "You're the man, Kaz," he unselfconciously cheers. I'd have liked the series to spend a little more time on Kaz. He always struck me as the most talented of the squad at flying, and I'd have liked to see that idea explored more. It's there, in the background, but could easily have made an episode or even a story arc.
The art in the episode is a nice idea. Could the resistance blow up irreplaceable bits of human culture? Yes, if they had to, but it's worth them taking risks to preserve some. And I rather like the Resistance taking a moment to stop and appreciate it, despite themselves. Note Takagi waiting forlornly for Bronski to return.
Livia gets more development this episode. Me thinks she came quite close to death with her little bit of initiative here. The fact that she didn't know how important this train was to Phaeton hints that he's keeping secrets from her; this will be confirmed in a few episodes. Phaeton's reaction, to have the artwork she diverted destroyed, speaks again to his deteriorating mental state. Why waste the resources if it's unimportant? He's becoming petty.
There are a host of nice details in this episode. Tiny, but well executed. I love the idea of a Bering Strait Bridge.
There's a moment when the Neo villain of the episode, a low-ranking officer named Sardis, lands and a Neo with a shoulder-mounted camera runs up to him. I love that attention to realism.
And speaking of attention to details, the series takes a few seconds to show Bronski & J.J. reverse the train in an abandoned uranium mine they're hiding in. Necessary? Probably not, but it doesn't slow down the episode and feels kinda neat, so why not?
What Doesn't: The fight at the beginning of the episode once again feels totally perfunctory. Yes, it gets their demolition specialist killed, but really, this mission could have been given to Wolf & Kaz and the episode would have proceeded just fine. I do like that Wolf's not able to prevail with 3:1 odds and needs Kaz's help.
Wolf's riding inside the shuttle, rather than providing an escort. Why? It's a very silly visual. And, sure enough, the shuttle is spotted and gets attacked, so he just has to launch and engage. Since e-frames are capable of re-entry, it felt like it just slowed down the episode.
Able Squad has an abysmal record at keeping fellow members of Exo-Fleet alive. This time it's Van Owen, their demo expert. It's starting to feel repetitive.
Watch For: There are a couple of the Thrax-style frames under Sardis' command. I don't think we've seen them used for generics before.
The Great Slave Lake (what a great place to choose!) facility the Resistance struck will be seen again, and will prove to be critically important.
Bio: Colleen O'Reilly, again, a character not in the episode, again. A repeat of the Bronski one would have been the ideal choice, or one for Takagi or Eve or the Resistance if one's inclined to be wishful.
Overall: Decent. There's basically nothing wrong with it. The strong points are strong, the weak points are unimportant. Despite this, there's something that I can't put my finger on that makes me not love this episode. It's not one I ever just pop in and rewatch, and after my analysis I can't really say why. Maybe it's just too late in the series for a character-themed episode. Perhaps if it was just slightly earlier in the series, it'd work better, Perhaps between The Perfect Warrior and The Price of Courage. (That'd give the Neos more time to repair the damage to the Great Slave Lake facility too, and create a nice little mini-trilogy checking in on the three big Neo Sapien generals.)
Keeping an e-frame inside a shuttle would make sense if our heroes were trying to conceal their actual numbers on Neo early warning systems. |

9. Attempt to stick with your front runners When function is underway, modifications need to be kept to a minimum. The information of your job, described in the agreement, down to the complements, form the basis of both the rate as well as the timetable of your task. Adjustments might influence both substantially. Your GVHBA member renovator will certainly attempt to fit any modification in strategies, as long as you approve a possible hold-up in conclusion and/or a change in price.

In our research study to determine how we would certainly locate her a college sports scholarship as well as decrease that tuition bill, we figured out that concerning 5% of senior high school professional athletes take place to play college sports. We additionally found there are sports scholarships beyond the "usual suspects" of football, beach ball, basketball and baseball, and also not simply in the NCAA! And also, we discovered that high school pupil professional athletes can find academic scholarships at fantastic D-III colleges that have extremely affordable sports programs.
We did not want our daughter to be one of the trainee athletes in the 95% classification that do not get to be an university professional athlete! She had the wish, the work principles, as well as the ability. We created a procedure to aid her as well as she obtained a walk-on deal at a Big East D-I College in Chicago, 2 D-III scholastic scholarships, and also, at some point, a D-I scholarship at a West Shore Conference school.
What we discovered in our study, online and personal ~ talking with university instructors, high institution therapists, athletic directors and various other moms and dads ~ was that most of the focus is on the exclusive future college professional athlete, the one coaches actively recruit. Or, their moms and dads were truly not knowledgeable about the globe of college athletics.
Most college athletes do not go on to play in the pros, so the object of the athletic scholarship is to help the pupil professional athlete continue to play his or her sport while likewise earning an university education and learning. Universities as well as universities are beginning to acknowledge the end game-- obtaining a good education and learning to prepare for the "game" of life.
The author stated that the average college scholarship is about $10,000 and, if you remove the males's sports, that scholarship lowers to $8,000; the only complete scholarships are for football, basketball and also beach ball. The writer likewise mentioned that there is no such point as a four-year athletic scholarship and instructors can draw scholarships for a selection of factors. Real sufficient; scholarships are given for only one year as well as most sports scholarships are partial, with universities and also moms and dads assembling with each other the puzzle with fundings and also various other economic help bundles.
The world of university sports is not for the faint of heart and also there are absolutely unethical programs as well as coaches, if one makes use of typical sense and also goes right into this college search procedure with eyes open and also a sensible picture of the degree of skill, the search for an university sports scholarship, provided an effective strategy and also process, ought to produce some excellent results.

We would urge the trainee professional athletes available or the moms and dads of pupil athletes to have a look at college sports scholarships (or scholastic scholarships at D-III schools) as a means to pay part of that ever before increasing university tuition costs. And, the university sports search will take you past the NCAA, to the NAIA, NCCAA, NJCAA, or other area university associations as well as will supply a much greater option of scholastic programs readily available.

Sports Scholarship Look System outgrew our efforts to help our daughter, a secondary school basketball university gamer become an university athlete getting deals as a Walk-on at a D-I Big East College, 2 D-III Academic Scholarships, as well as lastly a D-I Scholarship at a West Coastline Conference Institution. While I understood the game of basketball, my wife and I recognized little regarding the globe of college sports recruiting.
And also, what we might see was that the majority of the effort on the net was concentrated on the elite, D-I professional athlete. There wasn't a great deal of information for trainees at the D-II level, or looking at D-III colleges. We were likewise given a great deal of poor information, such as do not ever before call the instructors! Thankful we didn't listen to that suggestions! And, we saw absolutely nothing that assisted our daughter match her athletic passions with her academic passions. The education is the point! A lot of college professional athletes don't take place to the pros. The goal with a sports scholarship must be a solid academic foundation.

German food is not one of the most prominent worldwide foods in the USA. I personally feel that if even more Americans would try German food they would locate the food to be yummy and also have a large range of dishes. It is true that German food does make use of red meat there are additionally lots of meals that include: pork, wild game, wild boar, bunny and also venison.
Initially, Schwenker, is a pork steak that is barbequed with onions and spices. This meal varies by region yet can be located in modt restaurants and is absolutely worth attempting.
Second, blood sausage, do not turn your nose up to this recipe up until you have tried it. The majority of Americans are switched off by this food, however many nations of the globe have some variation of this dish. So remember the whole world can not be wrong. Blood sausage in Germany is made from meat blood and also barley. In the Rhineland it is generally made using steed meat. Pickled pig's tongue can be included and this is called Zungenwurst. Frankfuter sausage is a smoked pork sausage that is extremely similar to the American Frankfurter.
Third, Sauerkraut, is quite preferred and offered with lots of dishes. It is cut cabbage that is fermented. It is served either cold or warm and occasionally is a component in a dish.
4th, Spatzle, is German Beer German noodles made from flour, eggs and salt. Every wonderful cuisine has their kind of noodles. It can be utilized in a dish or consumed as a side dish. Spatzle is located in all regions of Germany.
There are so many excellent dishes that I can not mention them all in this post but a few that are most definitely worth discussing are: Gaisburger Marsch which is a beef and also potato stew, that includes spatzle, as well as topped with fried onions that have been prepared in butter. Hassenpfeffer, a rabbit stew flavored with a glass of wine and vinegar. Saurmagen which is spiced beef or pork with onions and carrots cooked in a pig's belly. The next time you are near a German restaurant before you nix the suggestion of trying German food I would absolutely place it on your list of foods to attempt.

It is real that German food does make use of red meat there are also numerous meals that consist of: pork, wild video game, wild boar, bunny and venison.

112,013,143 | Aiste Miseviciute rebuts the first prejudice against successful models before she even opens her mouth. She’s not fashionably late. On the contrary, she arrives at the restaurant early, before I do. She politely goes outside to take a brief call and returns shortly afterward, switches off her phone and gives me her full attention.
The restaurant Takara, on a side street off the Avenue de l’Opera, is her favorite Paris hangout. Miseviciute resides in Paris and London. It’s France’s oldest Japanese restaurant, having opened in 1961. Her soft spot for Japanese cuisine began when she lived in Tokyo at age 17 as a model. Today, she models only occasionally, “for friends,” as she explains. She didn’t quite become a supermodel, but she did make onto the covers of Vogue and Numero. However, she has drawn the attention of a completely different audience through her blog Luxeat, which she’s been writing since 2004.
Pork cutlet, served with its special sauce and shredded cabbage, featured on Aiste Miseviciute’s food blog, luxeat.com.
From fashion model to food blogger: It sounds like the beginning of a joke. “Yes,” Miseviciute says with a laugh. “We models only eat salad.” Many models starve themselves, but she says she eats what she wants and doesn’t gain weight. She earned good money from the very start, sparing her the often paltry existence of other models. Instead of subsisting on Coke Zero and microwaved noodle soups, she explored restaurants of countries where she traveled, and then reported on them in her blog. She became a pioneer of the digital gourmet scene portrayed in the documentary film Foodies: The Culinary Jetset. The film celebrated its premiere in September at the festival in San Sebastian, Spain. However, a trailer released online last year caused an uproar. Right at the beginning of the short film, Andy Hayler, the only restaurant critic to have visited all 109 three-star restaurants in the world, is sitting in a restaurant complaining about the Moët & Chandon Champagne: “These are the trials we must bear.”
In the next scene, Miseviciute boards a private jet and says that she enjoys flying to a city for a meal. And then she’s sitting in Kyoto, Japan, in the restaurant Kikunoi. Later, Thai blogger Perm Paitayawat — The Skinny Bib — permanently dressed in Prada silk shirts and Givenchy pullovers, is seen entering Noma in Copenhagen, Denmark, and saying how grateful he is that his parents can support him financially. Online reactions were harsh. The Huffington Post asked whether it was really necessary to see more of such people, while other comments ranged from “makes me gag” to “Don’t you just feel like slapping them all?”
“I was overwhelmed by the care and the respect with which the products were handled.”Miseviciute said she wasn’t pleased with the first trailer and makes it clear that she doesn’t fly to lunch in a private jet. “I was invited to a party being thrown by jeweler de Grisogono at the Cannes Film Festival, and was invited to fly with some acquaintances.” She would certainly board a plane for a special restaurant, but she’d take a commercial flight, similar to how some others would fly to a football game or a concert.
In Foodies, the four protagonists have to justify their bizarre hobby. Overall, however, the film is subtle and uses beautiful imagery to shed light upon a phenomenon that helps sustain international gourmet restaurants — particularly important for restaurants like Fäviken Magasinet, which Skinny Bib visits in the film. It’s located 200 kilometers east of Trondheim, in the Swedish province of Jämtland. Each blogger who visits these restaurants and posts photos online has dozens of gourmet followers for whom no restaurant is too remote. They’re not unlike surfers chasing the perfect wave. Forums and blogs today have assumed the role of traditional restaurant guides.
She experienced a culinary enlightenment in Paris when her boyfriend took her to Apicius, then a two-star fish restaurant. “I was overwhelmed by the care and the respect with which the products were handled,” she says, pointing to a feature of Japanese cuisine. In the film, she visits the three-star sushi restaurant Sushi Saito in the corner of a car park in Tokyo. Its seven seats are some of the most difficult in the world to reserve.Miseviciute stands out among the film’s bloggers. Not because she’s a model who actually eats, but because she experienced scarcity as a child in Soviet-era Lithuania. She remembers how difficult it was to find bananas and oranges. Staple foods were potatoes and cabbage; pizza was exotic.
But it’s not always Michelin stars. A recent blog entry depicts a rice dish with lobster in an Ibiza beach bar, and her best culinary memories of Berlin, she says, are the curry sausages she learned to love there. She pays for her meals with money she earns with her production company for stock photos. “As a blogger, one is, of course, often invited to eat for free, but I prefer to remain independent,” she says. If she gets a bad meal, she prefers not to write about it, as “anybody can have a bad day.”
It’s easy to mock the little jet-set foodie scene. But, really, isn’t it just fulfilling another hunger for experience that has grasped society? Now and again the film conveys the ecstasy that foodies experience when they’re eating. Skinny Bib’s visit to Longjing Manor in Hangzhou, China, for example, features so much sighing and moaning that one could almost become jealous and ask: Where is that, and how much would a flight cost? |
256,531,162 | One of the greatest challenges as a working single mom is balancing motherhood, homemaking and career. Home with a Heart has taught me how to more effectively manage these roles, resulting in a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
When I met Elaine, my children were controlling our home and I wasn't coping at all. But because of Home with a Heart, my children and I are enjoying each other again and our home is in order and routine. My children help out now and we therefore have more time together. I am also organized with meals, housework, parenting. Home with a Heart helped me to identify a need for further computer training. Having graduated from the training, I volunteered with Home with a Heart for two months. That experience built my self-confidence and I am now employed with a great National company.
I have so much less stress in my life and all my friends say how good this program has been for me. It gives me comfort to know I can handle my home and children and although everyday there is something new to cope with and it's not always easy, thanks to Home with a Heart, I know how to bring my home and children back into order.
I have been a single mother for 10 years. My three older children are on their own and one is in high school. After an episode with manic depression I went to the bottom and turned to the government for assistance. I was really depressed because I had no vision of where I was going or what I needed to be doing to figure it out.
During the Home with a Heart classes I got a clear vision for where I could start the whole process by turning to my home. By organizing my home, I felt I was organizing my life. I learned to set small attainable goals so I got a sense of reward. Since finishing the program, I know that I always have a basis to go back to if I feel overwhelmed.
I was able to accept my disability and put a plan into place that fills my day with homemaking, part-time accounting, and volunteerism in a café while recovering with a small disability pension. Now, I run my own business and want to help other women in my situation. Home with a Heart was the catalyst for all this change.
I immigrated from Zimbabwe. I didn't know anything about cleaning and hygiene. What I learned from Home with a Heart will last because its within. Now I can teach it to my daughter and she can pass it on when she has children.
I wish I had this program years ago. It could have made the last eight years as a single mom so much better. My children ranged in age from toddler to eight years old when my husband left. I turned to the government for assistance and then took on a part time job. After an expected bout with cancer, my home was in upheaval and my confidence diminished.
I struggled to return to my part time job when I took the Home with a Heart program. I am grateful for what I have learned. Taking the steps in the program guided me to bring everything in order in the home. This in turn helped me regain my self-esteem so I was able to step out and take a home-based computer course. This led to a good full time job and financial independence, while still maintaining my role as a mom in a way I could enjoy. I believe a moms place is in the home, but as a single mother I always struggled with fitting the two into one schedule. Now five years after finishing the program, I can say that I still am successful in following the skills I was taught.
I loved taking Home with a Heart even though I am not a single mother. The course helped me to realize that my trouble was not me, but how I was approaching the disaster I used to call home. Every time I came to class I was able to pick up new tricks to help me out. My daughter has benefited from a much more relaxed mommy and the added bonus of knowing where her place is in the home. We are able to plan activities to spend more time with her as well. My husband has benefited by having a wife who is able to cook, clean, and manage the home. I am able to make stuff as hobbies that will help us in the home and make perfect gifts as well. Thank you so much!
Home with a Heart has changed my life in a way I wanted it to change. I am organized, with a better perspective on the future for me and my children, lots of hope and a better self esteem, less worry and knowing that everything will all come together in the end. It works; it really does. I can see myself complete and proud and successful. Twelve weeks of time well spent.
I was praying for years for help in my home when I met Elaine. The fruit of Home with a Heart increases every day and has brought peace to our home. Shortly after taking the program, my marriage was restored.
Elaine teaches a systematic, step-by step approach to managing your home, maximizing efficiency while minimizing stress. As I began to put the teachings into practice, I noticed the benefits almost immediately. Soon afterwards I had a job again that suited my skills and family.
I didn't think I would ever find anyone with enough compassion to help me out of my overwhelming state. I am so thankful for the help Home with a Heart gave me. Now I have a home again!
For years I was overwhelmed with homemaking and I didn't think there was any way out of the situation. I met Elaine and she taught me the skills to bring my house in order. The changes have brought a continuous sense of stability to our home.
Within just a few weeks of starting the program, I was so happy and enjoying my children again. My confidence was so low, I didn't feel I could do anything even though I am a college graduate.
something as simple as one of the hobbies made a huge difference in my mothering as I had something to work on while watching my toddler. |

Of August Friedrich Schenck’s 1878 painting Anguish, one critic wrote in Figaro, “All the world today regards Schenk as one of our first animal-painters. He is one of those originals, of a species not yet extinct, who prefer dogs to men, and find more sweetness in sheep than in women.”
When the realist painter Fairfield Porter was 11 years old, he invented a fictional country on Mars, collaborating with his brother Edward and two neighbor girls. They devised an acronym for it based on their own four names: EDward, FAirfield, LOuise, BArbara.
Fairfield drew the map above, showing its topography and train lines. Much later one of his own sons recognized it as a “reduplication” of Great Spruce Head Island in Penobscot Bay, Maine, where the Porter family spent their summers. He divided it into four pieces, keeping for himself the area corresponding to the house and cove where the children swam and sailed.
He wrote to his aunts in December 1918, “Edward John and I have just been playing with the Pulman train that we made out of the blocks. Louise and Barbara play with us most of the time. … We pretend that the train goes around Edfaloba. … We pretend everything in Edfaloba runs by sunlight and people store it to make a light in night time.”
When he grew up and established himself as an artist, he developed a reputation as an eccentric for looking beyond the precedents of 20th-century art. Wrote one critic, “It was as if he lived in an alternate world with an alternate history, which, defiantly, he really did.”
Three meters wide, Frederic Edwin Church’s 1859 painting The Heart of the Andes was the IMAX feature of its day: On its debut in New York, 12,000 people waited in line for hours to pay 25 cents for a look at the canvas, which was displayed between theatrical curtains. One witness wrote, “Women felt faint. Both men and women succumb[ed] to the dizzying combination of terror and vertigo that they recognize[d] as the sublime. Many of them will later describe a sensation of becoming immersed in, or absorbed by, this painting, whose dimensions, presentation, and subject matter speak of the divine power of nature.” Mark Twain raved to his brother:
I have just returned from a visit to the most wonderfully beautiful painting which this city has ever seen — Church’s ‘Heart of the Andes’ … I have seen it several times, but it is always a new picture — totally new — you seem to see nothing the second time which you saw the first. We took the opera glass, and examined its beauties minutely, for the naked eye cannot discern the little wayside flowers, and soft shadows and patches of sunshine, and half-hidden bunches of grass and jets of water which form some of its most enchanting features. There is no slurring of perspective effect about it — the most distant — the minutest object in it has a marked and distinct personality — so that you may count the very leaves on the trees. When you first see the tame, ordinary-looking picture, your first impulse is to turn your back upon it, and say ‘Humbug’ — but your third visit will find your brain gasping and straining with futile efforts to take all the wonder in — and appreciate it in its fulness and understand how such a miracle could have been conceived and executed by human brain and human hands. You will never get tired of looking at the picture, but your reflections — your efforts to grasp an intelligible Something — you hardly know what — will grow so painful that you will have to go away from the thing, in order to obtain relief. You may find relief, but you cannot banish the picture — it remains with you still. It is in my mind now — and the smallest feature could not be removed without my detecting it.
Church had spent two years in South America retracing the steps of Alexander von Humboldt to create a composite of the continent’s topography. He hoped to share it with the explorer himself, but Humboldt died before the painting could reach Europe.
One evening there came into his soul the desire to fashion an image of ‘The Pleasure That Abideth For A Moment.’ And he went forth into the world to look for bronze. For he could only think in bronze.
But all the bronze in the whole world had disappeared; nor anywhere in the whole world was there any bronze to be found, save only the bronze of the image of ‘The Sorrow That Endureth For Ever.’
Now this image he had himself, and with his own hands, fashioned and had set it on the tomb of the one thing he had loved in life. On the tomb of the dead thing he had most loved had he set this image of his own fashioning, that it might serve as a sign of the love of man that dieth not, and a symbol of the sorrow of man that endureth for ever. And in the whole world there was no other bronze save the bronze of this image.
And out of the bronze of the image of ‘The Sorrow That Endureth For Ever’ he fashioned an image of ‘The Pleasure That Abideth For A Moment.’
Michigan art teacher Ray Villafane found enough success as a clay and wax sculptor to quit his job in 2006, but his career really took off when he changed media — the Wall Street Journal now calls him “the Picasso of pumpkin carving.”
The presence of an inconvenient roadway prevented architect Donato Bramante from making Milan’s Santa Maria presso San Satiro as grand as he’d hoped — so he painted a fictional apse in a shallow niche that’s only a few feet deep.
Ellen Terry played Juliet at London’s Lyceum Theatre in 1882. The following was later found on the flyleaf of her copy of the text:
Get the words into your remembrance first of all. Then, (as you have to convey the meaning of the words to some who have ears, but don’t hear, and eyes, but don’t see) put the words into the simplest vernacular. Then exercise your judgment about their sound.
So many different ways of speaking words! Beware of sound and fury signifying nothing. Voice unaccompanied by imagination, dreadful. Pomposity, rotundity.
Imagination and intelligence absolutely necessary to realize and portray high and low imaginings. Voice, yes, but not mere voice production. You must have a sensitive ear, and a sensitive judgment of the effect on your audience. But all the time you must be trying to please yourself.
Get yourself into tune. Then you can let fly your imagination, and the words will seem to be supplied by yourself. Shakespeare supplied by oneself! Oh!
Realism? Yes, if we mean by that real feeling, real sympathy. But people seem to mean by it only the realism of low-down things.
To act, you must make the thing written your own. You must steal the words, steal the thought, and convey the stolen treasure to others with great art.
Cape Town artist Philip Barlow depicts “out-of-focus” cityscapes and beach scenes in oil paints. In photography this effect is known as bokeh, the blurring of elements that lie outside the depth of field. Others have said that Barlow renders the world as it might appear to a near-sighted person.
In this sense the subjects of his paintings are not the objects they depict but rather light itself. “The figures in the landscape serve as carriers and reflectors of the light that falls upon them. Bathed in the luminosity, it is my hope that they would become more beautiful. To me, light is the ultimate subject because it embodies the pinnacle of all reality.”
Created by Giuliano da Maiano in the 15th century, the walls of the studiolo from the ducal palace in Gubbio, Italy, feature elaborate trompe-l’œil illusions. The wall shown above is flat — the images of the bench, the open cabinets, their contents, and even the shadows are all meticulously fashioned from inlaid walnut (see below).
The perspective is carefully arranged, with a consistent horizon line and vanishing points. The illusion works best for a viewer 1.68 meters tall standing at a prescribed point along the entrance of the window niche. “When the studiolo’s doors were closed and the main window was covered by a pair of now-lost shutters, the viewer would have been surrounded by an illusionary but convincing space based on four converging perspectives.”
Inspired by Edwin Abbott’s Flatland, in which a three-dimensional sphere tries to explain its world to a two-dimensional square, Worcester Polytechnic Institute physicist P.K. Aravind has devised a ballet that describes a tesseract, or four-dimensional hypercube, to a three-dimensional audience.
“The spirit of my demonstration is very similar to Abbott’s, only it is pitched at Spacelanders who are encouraged to make the leap from three dimensions to four, just as Abbott’s demonstration was pitched at a Flatlander who was encouraged to make the leap from two dimensions to three.”

They say there are no shortcuts. If you want to become a world-class surfer, you’ve got to hit those waves on a daily basis. To obtain massive biceps, you’ve basically got to live at the gym. And to grow the ultimate lumberjack beard, get ready for the long road of whisker growing ahead. Cool stuff just takes time…usually. But if you’re itchin’ to put together a tumbling blocks quilt, I’ve got news for you: It doesn’t have to take forever, and it doesn’t have to be difficult.

Before there were iPads™ and “smart tablets,” you got your news and non-porn ads from newspapers. Those things were cool — lots of pictures, tons of useless information and you never had to plug it in or recharge it. It was in those newspapers that movie companies placed ads. And in the ’80s, you got gore and slasher movie ads, which were an art form unto themselves.
Author/horror movie expert Michael Gingold (Fangoria, Rue Morgue, Birth.Movies.Death, Time Out New York, Scream, The FrightFest Guide to Monster Movies, Shark Movie Mania), has a new book coming out October 9, 2018 called Ad Nauseam: Newsprint Nightmares from the 1980s, a compilation of all those luridly glorious horror movie/TV ads. And even more frightening is the price: $34.95. In 1980s money, that’s worth the price of nearly 140 newspapers. That’s some serious fire hazard buying power.
I’m thinkin’ that the reprinted horror movie ads are all black and white, which gives ‘em a grindhouse-y aesthetic. The book might have a few color ads, though, (I’m hoping to see The Evil Dead/1981 ads in full blood-esque color).
While we impatiently wait for October (why won’t my homemade time tunnel work? I put new double AA batteries in it…), here are a few upcoming horror movies/TV series that may or may not be worth cutting out of a newspaper or downloaded onto your maxi-iPad™…
“The new mockumentary series follows officers Minogue and O’Leary as a pair of paranormal cops focused not just on vampires this time. New Zealand’s capital is a hotbed of supernatural activity, so Officers Minogue and O’Leary take to the streets to investigate all manner of paranormal phenomena including ghosts, demonic possession and werewolves.”
This is the TV series sequel to the incredibly hilarious What We Do In The Shadows (2014) vampire movie, and will premier July 11, 2018 on New Zealand channel TVNZ. My antennae doesn’t reach that far. Word around the antennae store, though, is the follow-up movie is tentatively titled, We’re Wolves. Flippin’ genius.
“Mary knew her boyfriend James was the Rain Ripper serial killer. But she felt powerless to act until he forced her to watch another victim being slaughtered before her eyes — and then she set him on fire. On parole from prison despite everyone thinking she was guilty by proxy, and on medication to control her paranoid hallucinations, Mary gets a graveyard shift job at the remote Deer gas station. Then the killings begin. Is what’s happening real? Are they just blood-soaked delusions? Or does she really like to watch people murdered as her ex always intimated?”
Rain Ripper seems like a dumb name for a serial killer. And since when does a pyromaniac get a job at a gas station? That’s like me going to work for Anheuser-Busch. (Note to AB — I totally promise to stay drunk on the job, as I am a company man, through and through.)
“A separated father Simon and his estranged twelve-year-old son, Finn, head to Vermont to repair an old farmhouse and encounter the malicious spirit of a previous owner, an infamously cruel woman named Lydia. With every repair Simon makes, he’s also making her spirit stronger…until a terrifying encounter leaves him doubting whether he can protect his son from the evil that’s making its way into their heads and hearts.”
“Infamously cruel.” That’s some serious street cred. Looks good on a resume, though, especially when applying to work for Yelp™.
“A young female artist named Vic McQueen discovers she has a supernatural connection with Charlie Manx, a seemingly immortal man who feeds off the souls of children and deposits their remains in a twisted holiday village known as Christmasland. Vic sets out to defeat Manx and rescue his victims while keeping her sanity intact.”
This one’s gonna be a TV series (whoohoo — binge time!) on AMC, and is based on the same named 2013 book by Joe Hill, Stephen King’s son. I can see why he didn’t take his dad’s last name — then he’d be “Joe King/Joking”. Heh. |

The Buyer must pay the full consideration for this product that the Seller requires as the total price of the product. This consideration includes not only the purchase price, but other obligations that the Buyer accepts as well as potential rights the Buyer agrees to forego. By accepting this Purchase Agreement, the Buyer agrees to receive continuing follow-up contact from the Seller including email, mail, newsletters, product updates, product recall notices, product improvements, telephone calls from the Seller and/or telemarketing organizations and/or pollsters for the purpose of solicitation related to the instant product or any other product or service. Buyer agrees to post-sale contact from joint venture partners of the Seller or from others who have a commercial relationship with the Seller. Buyer agrees that all personal information about the buyer or his or her buying habits and preferences, including address and phone number, may be placed in a general database and agrees that this information may be shared, rented or sold to third parties. However, Buyer shall at all times be fully empowered to sever contact with the Seller by notification using the 'unsubscribe' link in solicitations. Moreover, the Buyer retains the right to refuse specific contact with some third party solicitors and maintain it with others. The Buyer retains the right to have his or her name removed from a general solicitation database. The Buyer's agreement to accept solicitation and contact may be reduced, enhanced, limited or terminated by notification to anyone contacting the Buyer. The burden is on the Buyer to prove that such communication was made to and received by the person making contact. Buyer agrees that Seller is not liable for communications made to the Buyer by parties unrelated to this purchase even though referred by the Seller. Buyer accepts full responsibility for limiting unsolicited contact and Buyer understands that he retains all rights to directly restrict communication or solicitation from any party including the Seller. The Buyer agrees to allow the Seller to collect, store, and use for marketing purposes all information collected from, provided by or otherwise ascertained by electronic means from the Buyer. The Buyer, specifically, and as part of the consideration paid for this product, waives all right to access, retrieve, or control such information except that the Buyer retains the right to restrict contact as described previously.

Buyer understands that these cookies or other computer codes will reside on the hard drive and will communicate at times with the Seller's computer and thereby transmit and receive information. Buyers living in locations that require custom duties and/or VAT taxes to be collected understand that, unless custom duties are collected at the point of sale by the Seller, the Buyer remains responsible for payment of custom duties and taxes at the time the product is received. If it should happen that the Seller's courier or freight account is charged for custom duties and tax, instead of the Buyer paying referenced charges, then the Buyer hereby authorizes the Seller to bill the Buyer's credit card for said charges or for the return of goods if they are refused at the point of destination.
Buyer warrants that he or she is over 18 years of age, not subject to the Child Online Privacy Act, of legal age to enter into contractual agreements in the state in which he is present when he makes this purchase, and is the true and authorized owner of the credit card used to make this purchase. Any Buyer who violates any of these requirements may be liable for civil or criminal prosecution and agrees to pay liquidated damages of an amount the equivalent of US$10,000 per fraudulent transaction, plus actual damages, and agrees that all information collected by this website may be used for prosecution and may be turned over to law enforcement agencies or to credit card companies and merchant service providers.

Any Buyer who attempts to perpetrate a fraud upon Seller involving the use of a credit card herewith gives authorization for the Seller to access all credit information about the Buyer from credit reporting agencies and also authorizes the Seller to discover all relevant information from any source about the fraudulent practices of the Buyer and to reveal such information to credit reporting agencies, credit card companies, merchant service providers, and law enforcement agencies. Buyer agrees that if he uses trickery to receive more than one refund, or if he causes a fraudulent dispute claim that results in a chargeback against the Seller's account, that the Seller is authorized to re-charge the Buyer's credit card that was used for the original purchase to the extent that will make the Seller whole. Buyer agrees to, in addition to actual damages, pay to the Seller liquidated damages of an amount equivalent to US$10,000 for every separate fraudulent action Buyer commits.
This product is sold 'as is' without warranty or guarantee of any kind, either express or implied, including no warranty as to merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. The Seller warrants and guarantees absolutely nothing. There is no 'warranty period.' There is a 30 day refund period. However, in the event that the Buyer claims that the product is defective, the sole remedy to the Buyer is to accept a replacement product or a refund. The period for the Buyer to determine if the product is defective and request a replacement or refund is 30 days from the date of the order. During this 30 day period, the Buyer may request and will receive a refund for any reason. During this 30 day period, Buyer may request a replacement product in lieu of a refund but Seller is under no obligation, for any reason, to do anything more than refund the purchase price. If the sales or promotional material conflict with this "as is" warranty, then the sales and promotional material are herewith incorporated and shall be controlling. However, in no case, shall the warranty period be construed to be longer than the refund period. If the Buyer is purchasing a membership in this site, the terms of membership as specified in the solicitation materials are controlling. If the Buyer is purchasing, through this site, a product, including membership, that is to be provided by a third party, the Buyer must look to the third party for additional warranties or guarantees, and understands that the warranties available through this site, if any are offered or construed, are extremely limited, restrictive, and short.
Buyer warrants an understanding, as required consideration, that the Seller of this product disclaims all liability for the product or damages resulting from use or installation or reliance upon this product for any reason. Buyer alone accepts full responsibility for allowing others to use this product. Buyer understands that Seller disclaims liability for any information contained in sales or promotional materials or the product itself that is unintentionally misleading or incorrect that might cause damage to Buyer. Buyer expressly waives any and all claims for consequential, speculative, and unforeseeable damages resulting from the purchase or use of this product or from subsequent contact with Seller or Third Parties. Buyer expressly agrees that no matter what may happen because of his or her purchase of this product, or no matter what damage may be allegedly or actually caused by the use of this product, or no matter the harm or damage that may result directly or indirectly from the purchase of this product, for any reason whatsoever, that the absolute maximum extent of Seller's liability shall be an amount no greater than the purchase price of the product. Buyer agrees and understands that, Seller, specifically but not exclusively, disclaims liability for all damage to Buyer's person or business by using this product, including harm to buyer's computer hardware or software from worms, viruses, or other defects in the product or computer codes that cause harm. Seller disclaims liability for Buyer's interaction with Third Party soliciting agents who were provided 'leads' by the Seller. Seller disclaims liability for Buyer's interactions with advertisers on the site. Seller disclaims liability for Buyer's interaction with other visitors or members of the website.
If claims about results from using this product or if claims about income or earnings resulting from the use of this product are made, such claims are true for the persons who made the claims, including claims made by the Seller about its own experience with the product. However, Buyer cannot simply rely on these statements as being duplicable by Buyer because many factors affect results, including just dumb luck. Some people buy this product to make money and, in fact, make no money. Some people buy this product and never read it or attempt to implement any of the moneymaking ideas. Some folks seemingly take to it like a duck to water and can't stop making money. Nothing promoted on this website should be construed as a 'Get rich quick' scheme. The products Buyer is buying to learn how to make money or products that Buyer is buying to re-sell, have all been proven money-makers. The income and earnings statements, if any, tend to reflect the more successful cases and Buyer should not construe this as being the 'average' or usual success story. As is true in much of life, real success usually requires real work. Learning about the internet is not terrible work and it can produce very livable income if Buyer is willing to learn his or her craft and work at it steadily. Even part-time efforts may bring in some extra money each month. But it requires learning skills that Buyer may not have a background to easily learn and will certainly require constant education and, perhaps, even psychological motivation to keep Buyer directed toward his or her goals. If the product Buyer is purchasing is a physical product promoted for a particular purpose and if the promotional materials make claims about the results from the use of this product, Buyer hereby warrants his understanding that there exists some probability that the product will not deliver those same results to any particular Buyer and that the refund of the purchase price (subject to the return of the product to the Seller) is the full remedy for any Buyer who feels the product did not deliver the results claimed. If the product Buyer is purchasing is a membership or a product 'plan' that claims to produce specific benefits or results or that otherwise involves a recurring fee, the Buyer has a right to terminate the membership or 'plan' upon notice to the Seller. In this case, the promotional materials describing the membership and the 'plan' and the remedy for dissatisfaction shall be controlling. If the promotional materials say that part of a fee is not refundable, then it is not. Where this disclaimer and claims made in sales and promotional materials or the product are in conflict, this Purchase Agreement shall be controlling except, and unless, the Seller deliberately misled the Buyer or if such construction would cause material inequity. The sole burden is on the Buyer to substantiate any deliberate deception. Buyer accepts the obligation to reimburse the Seller for all court costs, investigation costs, attorney fees, and all litigation-related costs in the event Buyer brings suit against the Seller and does not prevail in court or at arbitration. No warranties are made whatsoever about the amount of money, if any, that Buyer will earn from this material or product or service and Buyer warrants an understanding that Buyer's only course of action is to test this product and material for the extent of the refund period and request a refund if Buyer is not satisfied prior to its expiration. Buyer, again, warrants an understanding that in any event, for any reason, no matter the amount of damages claimed, as a material part of the consideration for purchase of this product, the maximum amount of liability shall be the purchase price of the product.
Buyer herewith agrees to receive Notice of Changes, Litigation, Service of Process, Cancellation, Termination, and Modification of service or product at the email address provided to Seller on the ordering page. Further, Buyer agrees that the right to contact Buyer concerning legal notice shall not be terminated by previously submitted 'unsubscribed' notices and specifically agrees that any notification to cease contact shall not be binding upon the Seller in regards to Notice of Change, Litigation, Service of Process, Cancellation of Product or Service or Membership or Subscription, Termination of a program, product or website, or Modification of the terms of service or product. Additionally, the Buyer grants Seller irrevocable right to contact him or her via mail or telephone concerning any of these issues irrespective of other rights the Buyer has to sever contact with Seller. COSTS The prevailing party to any arbitration or litigation will be entitled to collect attorney fees and all other costs of the arbitration or litigation, including filing fees, investigation fees, collection fees, and travel expenses from the other party. MODIFICATION This Purchase Agreement cannot be modified in any manner between the Seller and this Buyer unless modifications are made in writing signed by both parties. However, the Seller may modify this Purchase Agreement at any time for other Buyers without notice to the instant Buyer.
By taking the affirmative step of clicking the "I Accept" button, or checking an Acceptance box, and the purchasing of a product, service, or membership, you, the Buyer, attest that you have fully read, understand, and accept the terms of this Purchase Agreement contract, and warrant to the Seller that said affirmative digital acceptance shall be deemed to be the same as if you had affixed your signature to this Purchase Agreement contract.

The prevailing party shall be reimbursed by the other party for any and all costs associated with the dispute arbitration, including attorney fees, collection fees, investigation fees, travel expenses.
If any matter concerning this purchase shall be brought before a court of law, pre- or post-arbitration, Viewer, visitor, member, subscriber or customer agrees to that the sole and proper jurisdiction to be the state and city declared in the contact information of the web owner unless otherwise here specified. Houston, Harris County, Texas In the event that litigation is in a federal court, the proper court shall be the closest federal court to the Seller's address. |

Drive a DeSoto before you decide! MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to present one of the rarest of the DeSotos, the 1955 Firedome Sportsman Coupe. Debuting the new Forward Look, with its long, tapered fins and a 185-horsepower Hemi Firedome V-8, itandrsquo;s no wonder the DeSoto was picked as The Official Pace Car for the 1956 Indianapolis 500!</p><p>Owned by the same owner for eight years, who purchased the car from the original California owner, this nicely presented Desoto no-post hardtop couple comes equipped with the aforementioned 291 CID V-8 engine, a two-barrel carburetor on a high-rise intake and is mated to a two-speed Flitecontrol automatic transmission. The car has dual exhausts and features power steering and power drum brakes. This is an original California DeSoto only showing 14,183 miles on the clock and the previous owner states the mileage is original, however, there is no documentation to support that. The wheels are 15-inch original DeSoto steelies, covered by full DeS crested hub caps with newer Coker Classic H78-15 whitewall tires.</p><p>Finished in bright Carnival Red, this coupe shows extremely well with only minor imperfections visible upon close inspection. The contrasting Surf White roof is a tastefully executed contrast to the rest of the exterior. All of the original Sportsman trim is present, complete and displays normal wear with only very slight signs of marring. The front grille has a brilliant finish. The front and rear chrome bumpers fit extremely tight and show well with only minor issues. The engine bay is tidy; even the words on the valve covers sport new paint. The original 15-inch wheels present well with only slight signs of marring. Car comes with dual exhausts.</p><p>Inside, through the New Horizon wraparound windshield, (a DeSoto first that year), the rich black and ivory vinyl front and rear seats show well, with little or no noticeable wear. The matching door panels, carpet and dual-cockpit dashboard (another DeS first) are a contrasting complement to the striking red exterior of the car and look great with minor wear. The fuel gauge is inoperable but all of the other gauges function as designed and all have the correct appearance. There is a factory clock and working original equipment AM radio, too. The horn is inoperable but the originally equipped DeSoto steering wheel is in good, original condition.</p><p>Lead stylist Virgil Exner employed The Forward Look on all 1955 through 1961Chrysler vehicles. What evolved was a line of cars lower, longer and widerandmdash;and modern in every sense of the word.</p><p>The Firedomewas a full-sized Chrysler automobile producedfrom 1952 to 1959. In 1955, Chrysler dropped itssix-cylinderDeSoto Powermasterseries and added the toplineFirefliteseries, pushing the Firedome down to entry level status. Still, the Firedome was not a cheap offering, riding on a 126-inch wheelbase, retaining itsV-8 engine and increasing its 276 CID to 291 CID with a larger bore and it came with a host of features and interior upgrades that the Powermaster series lacked. While Powerflite two-speed automatics were advertised as standard transmissions on the Firedome, officially the car was offered with a three-speedmanual, though few

295,004,919 | I had forgotten about some silica wicking considered a ceramic, called Ready X or something like that. It may be a little easier on flavor transition, not sure.
Only issue I've had with SS or silica wicks is they dont do well at higher wattages.... or with really thirsty coils..... but a couple puffs at a time to taste test or chase flavor. They are great.
SS mesh wick and coil on my Sat22 are over 1 year old closer to 2 years... have a kayfun in rotation with 1 year old silica build.
With rayon, transitioning flavors isn't hard, though I run similar flavor profiles in my tank. I have some ceramic wick laying around that I bought some of (unless it's mesh, not sure, but I think it's ceramic) and haven't been able to rouse myself to do the research to use it. I don't have much of it either so hearing about the learning curve is a bit disheartening, but I am totally satisfied by rayon, for sure.
With the top cap off, I press the fire button in quick bursts (0.1 - 0.3 seconds) until the cotton is mostly dry. You'll start to see white / dry spots in the wick when this happens.
If the new flavor is fairly close to the original flavor (going from a vanilla cupcake to a frosted donut juice for example), I'll put 10-15 drops of the new juice directly into the juice well, not putting any juice directly on the coil or wicks.
After a few seconds for the new flavor to start saturating the wick, I vape until the juice well is empty again.
If I am moving between two very different juices, such as a banana/strawberry cupcake recipe to a Twinkie recipe, I follow the same procedure, but will first repeat it a few times using unflavored VG until the old flavor is gone. Then I'll start using the new flavor juice.
I have like 4 different ADV flavors and I don't change wicks until I finally burn them in half and they get stuck on the sides of the chamber and it stops hitting properly heh. Ill just vape a tank until its just about to the point its going to start dry hitting, and then put whatever into it. Flavor has never been affected by this.
I use cotton bacon. I rewick at about 20ml anyways. I like my first vape to be as good as my last vape. Changing juice which I do every couple days I pick something that I figure will mix well. Vaping a banana base I will switch to another fruit. If a peanut butter I will pick another peanut butter base vape or a vanilla base ect. Works well that way for me but I vape about 15 different juices in rotation and 2 mods with tanks on the go always. Switch back and forth between mods & tanks through out most days. CHEERS!
I have several tanks sitting around for backup and flavor changes. I vape 9mg during the day and 3mg nic at night. That's two, and there's several tanks with different flavors to switch back and forth. Coils and wicking last quite a while when you distribute usage among half a dozen RTA's.
I have 10 active setups going at one time usually. I don't have to worry about flavor profiles, and in my opinion, since I am never chain vaping on one setup, my coils and even wicks in RTAs last longer, they aren't getting heated up. So, it solves the flavor rotation with the bonus "my coils last longer" although to be fair, I am also DIY and use much less flavoring and sweetener that the storebought I used to use. With that said, even so, I think my coils last longer as they don't get stressed, temperature wise.
So, I do not regret all my setups, and I usually mix my flavor batches in about 10--15, so as I use up old flavors I can replace them with new ones.
It's working for me, so I don't sweat it, but I am starting to think that high temps and high wattage definitely shortens coil life in the long run.
Being both impatient and a flavor oriented person, I figured from the jump that I would want multiple tanks for flavor quick switching without worrying about cross contaminating tastes. I think another advantage to this may turn out to be "tuning" a tank for particular juices. It's too early for me to say anything solid on this, but others with more experience may be able to chip in.
For example, the more fruity or sweet juices with 70-30 pg/vg seem to be working well in the Siren 2 builds I'm doing. However, I am still working on getting this tank to bring out the flavor on juices like 50-50 pg/vg Black Flag Risen or Castle Long. Oddly, they taste great in my little Rubi pod device, so I know it's not the juice itself.
I was told at one point that rayon could "degunk" when rinsed with distilled water. I tried it and had some initial "meh" about it, but actually that set up continued to run, happily, for quite longer than I though it might.
I plan on "rinsing" my rayon after each flavor when I finally get around to testing my new ones. However, I can attest that it works (if one is careful) and it's an option for when one might want to change flavors, without any flavor "bleed." I wound up fairly astonished at how well it worked, got the idea from another member using rayon. So if you don't want flavor bleed, or to vape unflavored between flavors, it is a not totally unreasonable option (I kind of though it might turn out terribly, but actually my rayon held up pretty well, overall. Not quite as long lasting as a fresh wick, but it wasn't bad exactly, either. May be an option.
In my experience it takes a while for flavor to change even if you suck out the juice with a syringe and then refill the tank. The wick retains a lot of the flavor from the last juice and it takes a while for the new juice to purge the old flavor.
One way to change quickly would be to use a tank with replaceable coil heads. Keep them in individual zip lock bags marked with juice flavor, and swap to change flavor.
I change my Rayon when I recoil just because I have to remove it anyway. Rayon wicking always looks great after a week or two vaping, except for the gray stain that an SS coil imparts to the wick.
If I am going to change a tank to a different flavor, I don't see the sense in keeping an old wick, let alone if I am re-coiling. Rayon is so cheap, why not just take a minute to re-wick and you know the build will be great for a long time.
I might feel differently if I was changing from one juice to another in a tank frequently, but I tend to to keep the same flavor in a particular tank until I drop that e-liquid from use.
I like the idea of letting TC mode vape dry without burning the wick, then changing the juice. There's been several times where my rayon wick ran dry in 10W power mode from lack of juice feed. When I pulled it apart to change the wick, the wick was fine even though I got that yuck taste like it had burned. TC mode would accomplish that a little more elegantly. |

The famously bad bust of Cristiano Ronaldo has had a makeover -- and some people think it now looks even worse | Business Insider
The famously bad bust of Cristiano Ronaldo has had a makeover -- and some people think it now looks even worse
The statue looked so bad it was mercilessly mocked on social media and bore a greater likeness tothe Mad magazine kid Alfred E. Neuman than it did to the famed Real Madrid and Portugal national team striker.
Sports website Bleacher Report challenged Santos to unveil the second bust on the one year anniversary of his first, universally derided, attempt. It was a challenge Santos accepted – and the sculptor is delighted with the finished product.
“The [first] one of Ronaldo I made, if I hadn’t done it the way I did, it would have been forgotten a long time ago. So, sometimes it’s necessary to have a certain bravery to go against the usual and have an impact.
“Even though there are people who mock and make negative comments there are still many people who value it. And what I’ve learned through all this time is that no matter how few people can see the positive side of the work there are enough to give us strength.”
Twitter users also blasted the statue, with one saying that while the newest statue may be better looking, it “somehow looks less like Ronaldo than the original.”
Emmanuel Santos, the chap who did the awful Ronaldo bust, was challenged to do another one and accepted.
Problem is, while the new one is a much better looking statue, it somehow looks less like Ronaldo than the original! ???? pic.twitter.com/MO4wtvb3W6

Paul Manafort's wife Kathleen has been a quietly pivotal part of the investigation against him- here's everything we know | Business Insider India
Paul Manafort's wife Kathleen has been a quietly pivotal part of the investigation against him- here's everything we know
Rick Wilking/ReutersKathleen Manafort (pictured with her husband Paul) was present during the FBI's raid of the couple's house.
• Special counsel Robert Mueller slapped Paul Manafort, US President Donald Trump's former campaign manager, with numerous charges Monday.
Former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort surrendered to the FBI Monday after being indicted on 12 counts, including conspiracy against the United States, Business Insider reported.
The indictment accuses Manafort of laundering $18 million from 2006 to 2016 to keep up his "lavish lifestyle."
While the investigation into the political operative's dealings has dominated the headlines for months, his wife Kathleen Bond Manafort has largely stayed out of the news cycle.
The couple was in bed together when FBI agents conducted a pre-dawn raid of their Alexandria, Virginia house in July. CNN reported the experience was a "jarring event" for the couple, and that Kathleen was even searched for weapons, as per standard FBI procedure.
Reports indicate the couple was married on August 12, 1978, according to Heavy.com. It's unclear how they first met.
Kathleen is a lawyer who graduated from George Washington University in 1979, the year after she reportedly married her husband. She has given money to her alma mater over the years, and is listed as a donor in the school's president's report for the years of 1986, 1990, and 1992, according to Archive.org.
In 1984, the couple attended a state dinner for Dominican Republic President Salvador Jorge Blanco, the Washington Post reported. Manafort was a partner in the DC lobbying firm Black, Manafort and Stone at the time. The Manaforts have two daughters - Jessica, who was born in 1982 and Andrea, who was born in 1985.
Kathleen subsequently earned her J.D. from Georgetown in 1988, and passed the Virginia bar the same year, according to The Washington Post. Kathleen was also admitted to the DC bar in 1991. Her various degrees are listed in online legal databases like LegalDirectories.com and Lawyers.com.
The Manaforts have bought numerous in Florida, Virginia, New York, according to NBC, including a Trump Tower apartment together in 2006 and a horse farm in Wellington, Florida.
In 2003, San Diego - one of the horses owned by the couple - was stolen, according to "A Sunday Horse: Inside the Grand Prix Show Jumping Circuit" by Vicky Moon. The Manaforts - in partnership with the Wellington Equestrian Alliance - put up a $10,000 reward for information about the case. San Diego was found after several weeks and ex-veterinarian Cathy Crighton was charged with stealing the horse, the Sun Sentinel reported.
Bloomberg reported Kathleen bought a $400,000 lot in Southhampton in 1992. The subsequent $5.6 million house included a pool and a tennis court. In 2002, she received a $150,000 mortgage on the home from a bank run by Jared Kushner's dad. Two years later, Thomas Barrack Jr. - a close friend of Trump's - gave her a $1.76 million mortgage for the house.
In 2007, Kathleen Manafort appears during the May 17, 2007 minutes of the Town of Southampton's zoning board, when she requested relief from certain "residential district dimensional regulations" for the property.
And NBC reported the deed for the home was transferred to Paul Manafort's Summberbreeze LLC in 2016.
The indictment indicated Paul Manafort used offshore accounts to spend money on "personal items," including a total of $6,090,293 on a home improvement company and a landscaper in the Hamptons, Business Insider reported. According to Curbed, Paul Manafort was subpoenaed for a $3.5 million mortgage on the home.
Beyond public records about property purchases, not much is known about the relationship between Kathleen and Paul Manafort.
However, during the investigation, tabloids attacked the couple's marriage, Heavy.com reported. The National Enquirer - which is owned by American Media CEO David Pecker, a friend of Trump's - has printed stories alleging Paul Manafort was having an affair with a much-younger woman.
And in March, allegedly hacked text messages between the Manaforts' two daughters Andrea and Jessica indicated that their parents' marriage was in trouble.
Business Insider reported Andrea appeared to to say her parents couldn't go through a "public divorce" because it would unearth "too many skeletons."

Expat parents in SA are less satisfied with the availability and cost of childcare and education than they were in 2017
Uganda and Morocco are the destinations of choice for foreigners working in Africa‚ with SA dropping down the rankings as expat parents grow increasingly anxious about the country.
SA has slipped 13 places for family life (from 19th to 32nd) in the 2018 Expat Insider survey by InterNations‚ in comparison to 2017’s survey.
"Expat parents are less satisfied with both the availability and the costs of childcare and education than they were last year. While 63% said that childcare was easy to afford in 2017‚ only 43% of expat parents still agree in 2018‚" the survey’s authors said on Thursday.
"The same is true for education‚ which was rated affordable by 44% in 2017 — but just 34% think so in 2018."
Apart from childcare and education‚ 38% of expat parents also worry about their children’s safety‚ which is close to four times the global average of 10%.
Safety is not only a concern among expat parents‚ but one shared by many expats in SA‚ the survey authors stated: just 29% feel safe here‚ which is 53 percentage points lower than the global average (82%).
More than one-third already considered the political situation in SA a potential disadvantage even before moving there (compared to 13% globally)‚ InterNations said.
A thumbs up is given to SA’s weather (92% v 61% globally) and the available leisure options. More than four in five expats rate SA’s leisure options positively (compared to 75% globally). "The climate is among the best in the world‚" a Dutch expat is quoting as saying‚ adding that "nature is beautiful and easily accessible".
Out of all the expat destinations on the African continent featured in the survey‚ Uganda is the best-rated country in 2018 (26th)‚ with expats saying they find it easy to settle down there‚ although they are unhappy with their career prospects.
Close to nine in 10 expats in Uganda perceive the attitude of local residents towards them as friendly. As a result‚ they say they have no trouble stepping outside of the "expat bubble"‚ with 63% saying that their social circle consists mostly of a mix of local residents and expats. This is far above the global average of 47%.
When it comes to quality of life‚ however‚ Uganda only ranks 55th out of 68 countries worldwide. And just 43% of expats in Uganda consider the country politically stable‚ which is 20% less than the global average (63%).
Morocco is ranked 32nd overall. With 71% of expats feeling safe there‚ Morocco is the best-rated destination in Africa for this factor. However‚ this is still 11% below the global average (82%). Uganda (66%)‚ Egypt (64%)‚ Kenya (33%)‚ and SA (29%) are perceived to be less safe.
When it comes to politics‚ close to three-quarters rate Morocco’s political stability positively‚ which is above the global average (63%).
Egypt ranks lowest in Africa‚ at 63rd place out of 68 countries worldwide‚ with expats citing a low quality of life and unsatisfying working conditions.
Just 39% of expats in Egypt are happy with the transportation infrastructure (compared to 68% globally) and only 27% rate the quality of the environment positively (compared to 69% globally). Twenty-one percent are unhappy with the available leisure options. "The entertainment here is pathetic," said an expat from Zimbabwe.
Safety and politics play a significant role in the country’s ranking too: just 24% consider Egypt politically stable (compared to 63% globally) and only 64% feel safe there (compared to 82% globally). Furthermore‚ only one in five expats rates the state of the economy in Egypt positively‚ compared to 64% globally.
Bahrain defended its first place‚ which it secured in 2017‚ thanks to excellent results for working abroad and ease of settling in (first for both). Seven in 10 expats in Bahrain (70%) are happy with their career prospects (compared to 55% globally) and 81% find it easy to settle down in this country (compared to 59% globally).
More than three-quarters of the expats living in second-placed Taiwan (76%) are satisfied with their job security (compared to 59% globally)‚ with the destination ranking first in the world for this factor. Taiwan also offers the world’s highest quality of life‚ and 77% of expats feel at home there (compared to 64% globally).
Coming in third place‚ Ecuador is one the biggest "winners" of the 2018 survey‚ moving up 22 places since 2017 (when it ranked 25th out of 65). While less than half the expats in Ecuador (46%) were satisfied with their career prospects in 2017‚ 69% are happy now. Moreover‚ 76% find it easy to settle down in this Latin American country (compared to 59% globally).
The bottom three countries for expats are India (66th)‚ Saudi Arabia (67th) and Kuwait (68th). Complaints include poor air quality and pollution‚ while in the two Gulf states‚ expats find it hard to get used to the local culture.
InterNations states its Expat Insider survey is conducted annually with more than 18‚000 respondents‚ representing 178 nationalities. Participants are asked to rate up to 48 different aspects of life abroad on a scale of one to seven. Their ratings are then bundled in various combinations for a total of 17 subcategories‚ and their mean values are used to draw up six indices: quality of life, ease of settling in, working abroad, family life, personal finance and cost of living.

I participated in my first official art festival. The Pine Lake Fest. The picture shows how my booth looked with my new tent canopy at the festival.I know that this is just the beginning and I am barely scratching the surface but hopefully this will lead to more festivals to come in my future. Luckily I ran into the art fair coordinator of the Waldorf School here in Atlanta and she said she would be glad to have me at their fair in November.
Two of my drawings were on display for the Georgia Artists with Disabilities Exhibition 2018. Both drawings won awards. Best in Show and Honorable Mention. These drawings will now go on tour throughout the state of Georgia for next year. The drawing on the right was awarded Best in Show. I was so pleased and thankful that I was able to receive awards for both drawings.
The reception for the Southeast Pastel Society 2017 Juried Members Exhibition was last night. This year marks my forth year being with the Southeastern Pastel Society and this is the forth year in a row I have been fortunate enough to be in the art exhibition/competition. Due to this accomplishment I received a Member of Excellence award. To have received this award establishes me as an artist in the community of pastelists. It is such an honor to be among such talented artists.
I have been having more concern here lately about my lack of happiness in general. They say money cannot buy you happiness which is true but it certainly can help steer you in the right direction. In my treatment through cognitive behavioral therapy it was stressed that recognizing what you are grateful for will lessen negativity which it truly does. Everyday I live my life more aware of what I am grateful for. But that shroud of discontent I never seem to get rid of adversely affects my happiness. Whether I am at home being disengaged or out and about having to be on my toes I cannot shake it. This is how depression affects me along with the anxiety and irritability. We as an American society feel as though we are owed certain standards in life but we are not. I believe that this could be part of my problem. I don’t I have it when I think I should. But I am owed nothing.
This morning, a group of us went hiking on Arthur’s Seat to watch the sunrise. The view was breathtaking, and I do not regret it one bit. I might be getting sick though,
Then, the morning session consisted of talking about JK Rowling and her inspiration for Harry Potter. We went around in a circle and answered life questions about Rowling and where her inspirations for characters, names and events came from. Turns out a lot of her book resembled her own personal life.
I felt like I got a lot of unanswered questions answered today and I feel inspired to write as much as possible. JK Rowling’s story is an inspiration to all and I am glad I got to visit Edinburgh, which is where she lives in.
After the tour, I went to the Edinburgh Castle and toured it. The view from this castle is breathtaking, and it was hard to capture the beauty in a photo. I got to learn about the history of Scotland ranging from The Great War, the Revolutions, up to modern day war training. The castle has private property and shrines dedicated to fallen heros of the Scottish regime. If you want to explore castles, this is a good place to start.

159,752,839 | Both Russia and the UK have to deal with fighting ISIS and the threat of terrorism and it’s about time they understood it’s better to do it united, says journalist and author John Wight commenting on a possible thaw in Moscow-London ties.
Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet Britain's new Prime Minister Theresa May at the G20 summit in China next month. In their first phone conversation since May took office, the two leaders agreed Russia and the UK need to work together - meaning a stronger economic partnership, and closer dialogue between the two countries' security agencies.
RT: President Putin met the Turkish President on Tuesday trying to repair a severely damaged relationship. Now a meeting is lined up with Theresa May. Are we seeing a realignment of Russia's relations with key powers?
John Wight: It certainly looks that way. Putin can be proud of his achievement this week in effect in a rapprochement of relations with Turkey vis-à-vis his meeting with Recep Erdogan in Saint Petersburg. So it is very encouraging for him and also it looks like there can be better relations on the way between the UK and Russia.
It is very important if it happens. It is very important for Britain in the sense that Theresa May has assumed the reins of government in Downing Street at a time of deep economic and political uncertainty in the UK in light of the Brexit vote. She will be under no illusions with regard to the significance of Turkey moving closer to Russia again, given the state of their relations over the past nine months since the shooting down of the Russian aircraft by a Turkish aircraft. So there is a lot to play for.
Also Putin will be keen to establish a closer relationship with the UK, given that a new US President is on the way in November. That is likely to be Hillary Clinton, who we know to be very, very hawkish with regards to Russia. There are many, many strands to this, but for both countries it is very important their relations get off to a new start in light of Theresa May’s assumption of power in Downing Street.
RT: David Cameron was highly critical of Putin, especially over Ukraine. Do you think Theresa May will take a different approach?
JW: Yes, she is now prime minister – it is a different role. But events are driving this change in attitude – not really any kind of ideological shift, because of Britain’s new state of post-Brexit crisis (and) the rapprochement between Turkey and Russia. Also they have things in common they need to deal with. They need to deal with events in the Middle East with regards to the ongoing struggle against ISIS, the threat of terrorism, which affects both countries.
Russia will be keen to try and affect some kind of change in attitude vis-à-vis NATO expansion and encirclement. So they both have very, very serious issues to deal with, and it is about time that they understood that it is better to do so united rather than disunited. Putin has been calling for such unity, for better relations between Russia and the European partners for many, many years now. Let’s hope now that is the start of something happening in this regard.
RT: Last year, Cameron threatened to take sanctions against Russia "to a whole different level." Now that he's out, do you expect the sanctions to be lifted by the UK?
JW: I think that will depend on the attitude of Germany and France, which are less keen on the sanctions. These sanctions have been pushed by Washington. And David Cameron has been keen to bonus his own credential to Washington in this regard. That is what fueled his stance. The Obama Presidency is winding down to its end. Obviously, the huge interest will be with regard to….who’s likely to be Hillary Clinton. Her harsh stance will be when she assumes power in the White House. That is going to be the key relationship that Putin will have to deal with. It helps in this regard if he can in the meantime effect better relations with Britain and with other European neighbors. He has already done that with Turkey. So that could only help in that course.
2004 - Member, public council for assisting the development of civil society and human rights institutions under the President of Russia
Today we will talk about the challenges Russia is facing. This week, Russian and U.S. diplomats have begun talks on nuclear arms reduction and European and Russian leaders are also meeting this week to discuss energy and trade. To talk about the threats and opportunities for Russia, our guest today is Sergey Karaganov, the Chairman of the Council of Foreign and Defense Policy.
Smoke alarms save lives. Reports have found that the risk of death in a house fire is reduced by more than half if properly maintained smoke alarms are installed.
The Fire and Emergency Services (Domestic Smoke Alarms) Amendment Act 2016 (Qld) commenced on 1 January 2017 and imposes additional obligations on property owners/managers with regards to the installation and maintenance of smoke alarms at domestic dwellings.
If the existing smoke alarms were manufactured less than 10 years ago, and are still in good working order, they will comply with the new legislative requirements.
However, it is important for property owners/managers to understand the new requirements and the timeframes that apply.
Existing smoke alarms, manufactured more than 10 years ago, must be replaced (Note: smoke alarms should have the date of manufacture stamped on them).
Existing hardwired smoke alarms, that need replacing, must be replaced with a hardwired photoelectric smoke alarm.
test and clean smoke alarms and replace any flat or nearly flat batteries within 30 days before the start or renewal of a tenancy
not remove a smoke alarm or a battery (other than to replace it), or do anything to reduce the effectiveness of the alarm e.g. paint it.
not remove a smoke alarm or the battery (other than to replace it), or do anything to reduce the effectiveness of the alarm e.g. paint or cover it
You do not need to be qualified or licensed to clean or test a domestic smoke alarm. Some real estate agents may outsource smoke alarm maintenance to another company as part of their processes. Tenancy rules permit entry for the purposes of complying with smoke alarm legislation.
An open house may occur when a property is put up for sale, or rent, and prospective buyers or tenants view the property during a specific advertised period.
Photos used to market the property (e.g. on the ‘for sale/rent’ signs or the internet) should not show the tenant’s possession unless they agree in writing.
If the tenant agrees to an open house, the property manager/owner should negotiate a suitable time. The property manager/owner should try to minimise any disruption to the tenant's quiet enjoyment of the property.
The property manager/owner must also give the tenant an Entry notice (Form 9) giving at least 24 hours’ notice of the open house.
For all other viewings, an entry notice must be given for each entry. Entry must be at a reasonable time and, unless the tenant agrees, must not be on Sundays or public holidays, or any other day before 8am or after 6pm.

252,747,333 | I've seen the idea floated around before and was wondering what peoples results have been. I want to have it as the focus of my grain bill and then add some minute rice and Marris otter as well.
The basic brewing endeavors with Frankenberry and Count Chocula are available on the YouTube, if that's what you mean. Minute rice, Maris otter, + sugary cereal is sort of cryptic. What's your objective?
Minute Rice or brown Minute Rice work well as mash adjuncts, but many sugary cereals have too many preservatives and miscellaneous compounds to make it into my grist...and if mostly sugar, there's no need to mash it...just put it in the boil if you must.
Some cereals do have a lot of sugar, but they're not mostly sugar, though a few top 50%. The #1 ingredient is usually something like corn flour or whole grain corn. I wouldn't put those unconverted starches into the boil. OTOH, I probably wouldn't use breakfast cereal in a beer anyway.
There is a competition between my homebrew club and another club in the area to see who can make the best beer with 15% mash to be breakfast cereal. I’m thinking about throwing my hat in the ring with Cinnamon Toast Crunch stout but that seems to easy.
This idea is right up there with adding marijuana to your beer, except, in this case, there is no redeeming quality.
Neither would I...I'd do a quick steep at KO to get the sugar and flavor compounds...if I were to go this route at all.
Years ago, when I worked at the homebrew shop, we did a ‘brew a beer without brewing ingredients’ challenge for fun. Just stuff from the supermarket. The winning bee was a gruit made from flaked adjuncts and 75% grape nuts and bread yeast.
I think we all used to stalk the aisles looking for "unique" things to put in our beers. I've used pretzels in my mash, so I probably shouldn't be giving people TOO much shit for thinking about using cereal.
A guy in my hombrew club made a Cinnamon Toast Crunch beer that was stupid good. Stupid because no one thought it would actually be good....
Hmmm...I'm now trying to picture this hard lattice of starch material with sugar and flavory stuff sitting loosely in the nooks and crannies, just waiting to be rinsed away.
Actually I agree that the starches are probably less soluble than the sugars, but maybe not any less suspendable. But I guess there's one way to find out.
I know a guy who has made a Lucky Charms Stout for St. Patrick’s Day, and it worked better than I thought.
Dr. Beer is nationally known for his skill and knowledge of injecting BOTOX Cosmetic into the frown lines, horizontal forehead lines and crow’s feet. In some patients, injection into the neck muscles is performed to provide a more youthful appearance.
More than one million people have been treated with BOTOX® Cosmetic since its FDA approval in 2002. In fact, BOTOX Cosmetic is the only FDA-approved treatment for the temporary reduction of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in patients 18 to 65 years of age. Isn´t it time you considered it too?
Proven. Simple. Effective. Ten minutes, a few tiny injections, and within days you will see a noticeable improvement. There is no recovery or downtime. You can even receive BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment on your lunch break. And results last up to four months. Individual results may vary.
Read on to find out how some physicians answer some of their patients´ commonly asked questions about BOTOX Cosmetic. Then talk to your own physician to decide if BOTOX Cosmetic is right for you.
You can expect to see results within days after your treatment. The appearance of the area between your brows may continue to improve for up to a week. By day 30 in a patient clinical study, 89% of patients judged the severity of their frown lines between their brows as moderate or better. Visible results can last up to four months. After that, you may be ready to return for a follow-up treatment. Patients with neurological disorders such as ALS, Myasthenia Gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome may be at increased risk for side effects. The most common side effects include headache, respiratory infection, flu syndrome, temporary eyelid droop, and nausea. Other side effects include pain and redness where the medicine is injected, pain in the face, and muscle weakness. These effects generally occur within the first week and usually go away on their own. Your own results may vary – be sure to talk to your doctor about what you can expect.
The effect of each treatment can last up to four months – be sure to schedule your follow-up treatments in advance. If you decide not to continue with BOTOX Cosmetic, the area between your brows will eventually go back to its pretreatment appearance. How does BOTOX Cosmetic compare to other options? Compared to other aesthetic treatment options, BOTOX Cosmetic is relatively inexpensive. According to a survey by The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, it´s one of the least costly facial aesthetic procedures. And when you consider the difference it can make in the appearance of the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows, you may find BOTOX® Cosmetic to be a great way to invest in yourself. BOTOX Cosmetic treats the cause of these frown lines between the brows by reducing the muscle contractions that cause the line to form over time. BOTOX Cosmetic is the only treatment of its type approved by the FDA for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows. If you´re looking for something for that area between your brows, be sure to talk to your doctor about BOTOX Cosmetic.
The lines that appear between your brows actually result from muscle movement and the passage of time. Two muscles are largely responsible for frown lines between the brows. When those muscles contract, they draw the brows together. As skin becomes less elastic over time, repeated frowning can result in those moderate to severe lines between your brows. BOTOX Cosmetic works by blocking nerve impulses, which reduces the movement of those muscles. With less movement, the skin surface gradually smoothes out, and the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows begin to fade.
BOTOX Cosmetic is a purified protein. It is a non-surgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily reduce moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in patients 18 to 65 years of age. During treatment, very low doses of BOTOX Cosmetic are administered via a few tiny injections directly into the muscles that cause those stubborn lines between the brows.
BOTOX Cosmetic is a quick and minimally invasive treatment. Your doctor makes a few tiny injections into the muscles that cause moderate to severe frown lines between your brows. Your doctor will determine exactly where to administer the injections to achieve the best results. No anesthesia is required, although he or she may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream prior to injecting. The entire procedure takes approximately 10 minutes. Discomfort is minimal and brief – most patients compare the sensation to a bug bite. You may resume normal activity immediately.
Any authorized healthcare professional can administer BOTOX Cosmetic, but dermatologists, plastic surgeons, ophthalmologists, otolaryngologists, or other cosmetic physicians are generally more experienced. Your physician can help you decide if BOTOX Cosmetic is right for you. |

206,054,040 | A friend recently asked me if during my upcoming visit, can I give her a few cooking tips. How flattering! I was trying to think if I actually had any tips. I’ve decided my tip is this: fresh lemon, fresh garlic, fresh herbs. That’s it! That’s really all you need. This recipe is proof as those three ingredients are the stars.
For this easy weeknight pasta (also a good date-night pasta) I buy raw, tail-on, deveined, large shrimp. I actually really love this kind. If you can get fresh, even better. I use my go-to (everyday) seasoning mix: garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to season the shrimp and then I quick sear it. About a minute each side. So fast. If you really concentrate, this can be a 15-minute dinner! I use plenty of butter, lemon juice, and garlic, along with some pasta water to deglaze the pan after the shrimp have been removed. This creates a quick little sauce to toss the pasta with. Top it with shrimp and fresh parsley. I read somewhere to never add cheese to a seafood type pasta. So I don’t. But you definitely can. I mean, lobster mac and cheese is delicious so it can’t totally be true. However, with a light and simple dish like this, I like to let my favorite trio of lemon, garlic, and herbs shine. And plus, you have all that butter.
Servings: 2 people- There should be enough for 1 person to have lunch the next day (if you behave yourself)
1 large lemon or 2 small lemons, zested and juiced. Buy this and one of these if you haven’t already.
Once the water is boiling, add some salt (this will help flavor the sauce later) and add the pasta, cook according to package directions. Some fresh pastas are done in as little as 2 minutes, so pay attention!
Heat a little oil in a non-stick pan- or use a little more oil if not a non-stick, heat to medium-high.
Add about half the pasta water to the pan, and continue to keep over medium-high heat. Scrape up any cooked shrimp and seasoning bits to de-glaze the pan. Save the rest of the pasta water to add to the sauce later in case more liquid is needed.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in 1/2 the parsley.

I was introduced to Eatzi’s in Denver by my good friend who visited me from South Dakota. I had past it several times and had dismissed it as an Italian restaurant. I was totally wrong! Eatzi’s is like this glorious grown up, gourmet, college food court. If you love food, but hate to cook. You will LOVE Eatzi’s. Another friend recommended that I try their Thai Beef Salad. It looks unassuming but it is absolutely delicious. The ingredient list is long, but it’s completely necessary. All the fresh herbs and umami seasonings make this one of the best salads I’ve had. I could not find a recipe for it online, so I made my own. This makes the perfect lunch or main-dish dinner salad.
*If you can’t find fresh lemongrass (it would be in the fresh herbs sections). Don’t worry. There is lemongrass in the red curry paste, so you’ll still get that flavor. Also, all of these ingredients are easily found in any grocery store. Lemongrass is probably the only one that may be hard to find.
This is the sauce you want for your fries. I think I’ve finally pinpointed the recipe I use for tasty fry sauce. It wasn’t until I started using blue apron that I realized the secret to tasty sauce is a clove of grated garlic. Serve this tasty sauce with sweet potato fries, regular fries, salmon salmon cakes, grilled chicken, or any roasted veggie. If you serve it with sweet potato fries and salmon, be sure to serve it with a green salad or at least some green garnish, otherwise you’ll have a plate of orange!
*i usually don’t buy the fat free version. However, I really liked the taste of this sour cream. Nice and sour and the ingredient list is simple, short, and real.
We have made a temporary move to Dallas, Texas! My husband is working on a show here called Misfit Garage. We will be here until July. Dallas is full of really tasty food, I have a new pant size to prove it:-) I’m still cooking at him when I’m not tempted to eat out. I’m sharing one of my favorite snacks today.
Everybody needs a good hummus recipe they can make. I love making homemade hummus. It’s easy, cheap, and it really is much better than what you can get at the store. I think that is because store-bought brands skimp on the tahini and olive oil. Perhaps both for cost and so that nutrition facts fat content isn’t so scary. My favorite hummus to make is the kind without any extra flavors. I want these things to be the stars: garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice. To make a tasty plain hummus, you really need to be heavy handed with the tahini and lemon juice. And also the olive oil. This is what you’ll need:
The yogurt is totally optional. I add it if I have it. Keep all these ingredients on hand at all times. They’re all very versatile. I think one of the best and easiest ways to make your cooking stand out is to buy a microplane zester and use it to add lemon zest and grated fresh garlic to your dishes. Makes a big difference!
I was very happy about the taste, but I think I added a little too much parsley. It had a green hue. I think I’ll add it towards the end next time.
It’s been drizzling rain here Denver for about 6 days now. Our seasons usually casually slide into each other, but this year summer abruptly clicked into fall. This may be the first year that I don’t have post-summer blues. Perhaps it’s because it’s the first year that I’m not returning to school or teaching, as I have for the past 30 years of my life. I went from college right into teaching first grade. No, this year I’m excited for fall, and fall cooking. Nothing could be more fall than chile. How do you spell chile by the way? Is it chilli? White chicken chile is not anything new. But it is delicious. I typically don’t like the “white” version of things, chocolate, pizza. But this is good. Lick your bowl good.
I’m currently experimenting with not eating dairy for various reasons (yeah, it’s sad). You could easily make this without the cream cheese. Please only do so if you have to! It’s quite the cheater recipe in that gets a lot of its seasoning and flavor from the prepared enchilada sauce (So “semi-homemade” cooking of me, but no I won’t do a “table scape”). This helps to make it a super easy week night meal that should only take about 30 minutes.
Heat a large pot with a little oil over medium high heat. Add the ground chicken and let it sear for a bit before you move it. You want it to get brown. Don’t stir it around too much. You can break it up later. Browning makes flavor.
Add the chopped onion to the browned bits left in the pot from the chicken. Add a little more oil if you need to. Cook the onion about 4-5 minutes until soft.
Add in the beans, cream cheese, chicken broth, enchilada sauce, and green chiles. Cook over medium heat until the cheese is melted.
*My husband loved this chile. I thought it wasn’t creative enough or special enough for a blog but he said “why not?”. So, I hope you feel the same way. Let me know in the comments below what you think and especially if you try this!
This recipe is not some new discovery. I’ve been making this since high school when I ordered my “Kitchen Quick” off of t.v. Saying “off of t.v.” feels really weird. But it wasn’t online. I had my mom call to order this kitchen quick for me and it came with a recipe for salsa. This Kitchen Quick really catapulted my cooking love. It was basically a hand-powered food processor. My friends would tease me that I would never come and hang out on the weekends anymore because I wanted to stay home and make “sals” (right, Min). The salsa recipe called for fresh cilantro, but this was ’98 in Iowa and we only had dried. By about 2000, you could easily find fresh cilantro in the stores. The first time I used the fresh I about croaked. Disgusting! Now I love it. I can’t get enough.
I realize that this is the most basic salsa, but I think that’s what makes it so good! This is so easy, and there are so many GOOD tomatoes out there right now. So take advantage! You only really need a chef’s knife and a cutting board, but if you like a more blended salsa, use a food processor (I’ve had this one for 11 years) or blender.
chop all the veggies OR cut the veggies into large pieces and then put into the food processor or blender- including cilantro so skip step 5
*besides fresh cilantro, I think that having a fresh salsa with enough lime and salt is key. It’s so important that it can make up for the fact that you have bad tomatoes. Speaking of which, make this salsa even if you DON’T have tomatoes. Still good!
*I searched and searched for the Kitchen Quick infomercial youtube but I couldn’t find it. I did find this creepy one though.
If you’re a gardener, right about now you have way too much zucchini or yellow squash. You can say you’re going to make zucchini bread, but will you really? Those zucchinis in your fridge are mocking you, just like the black bananas in your freezer. Use your zucchini tonight as a savory side. I’ve got Martha’s recipe for you, with a few naughty tweaks. And it was already pretty naughty. This recipe has butter, heavy cream, and parmesan. So yeah. It’s good. It’s a gratin without potatoes and trust me you won’t even miss them. How can you with so much butter, cream and cheese? But don’t worry, it’s low-carb. Except for the bread crumbs. Never mind. Here’s what you’ll need:
3 large zucchinis or yellow squash. Not the overgrown kind that are as big as your arm. They’re no good. Large is about 8 inches. Really, zucchini tastes best at about 4-6 inches, F.Y.I.
Preheat oven to 400. In a large skillet or wok, melt ghee over medium heat; add zucchini, yellow squash, shallots, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini and squash are crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes. I had to work in batches. Season with salt and pepper.
Add cream, and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat; stir in 1/2 cup panko and 1/4 cup Parmesan and use a microplane zester to grate the fresh nutmeg into the mixture.
Spoon mixture into a shallow 2-quart baking dish. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Take out of the oven, uncover and sprinkle with remaining panko and Parmesan; season with salt and pepper. Bake until top is golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
* You could totally do this on the grill if you don’t want to heat up your house. Just be sure that your baking dish is grill safe. I have no idea how you’ll know this. But still.
*Did you know that unless you buy organic, all zucchini squash are gmo? It’s one of the most heavily gmo’d veggies out that. I think papaya is the most. Don’t care? Ignore that fact then. But if you do, buy or grow organic!
These little bites are a classic and decadent combo, perfect with snacking on with a friend over a bottle of wine. Fresh figs are in season now. I use the green ones because they’re just gorgeous in color, both inside and out. I used Trader Joe’s French baguette as the canvas then I layered the cheese, prosciutto, a honey balsamic glaze, fresh basil and topped with a beautiful fig slice.
Assemble the bites. Take a piece of baguette and spread it with goat cheese. Since my baguette slices were very small, I used just a 1/4 slice of prosciutto. Do this to all slices of bread and then take the balsamic honey mixture and drizzle over the top. Now lay one basil leaf on each piece then a slice of fig. Season all slices with some course cracked pepper. Enjoy outside with a friend and a glass of Rosé
If there is a food that is quintessential “Colorado” it would be green chile. In the fall, you can easily find fresh roasted green chiles on many street corners. Most are New Mexico Hatch variety. I love making homemade green chile. But if I don’t have the time or the fresh roasted chiles, I like to buy Nanita’s. I get it at Sprouts in Denver but you can buy it online here. Its the sauce variety of green chile and not the stew or soup. My favorite way to eat Nanita’s is with hash browns and eggs. I cook the hash browns, pour over the green chile, and then crack the eggs into the hot green chile. I then cover it all and let it cook until the eggs are set, white are cooked but yolks are a thick-runny consistency. Yum yum yum! Another way to make this is with cheesy grits. For this, you would cook the grits separately and then serve with the hot green chile and eggs on top.
Ok, it seriously bothers me that I can’t seem to figure out how to flip that so it’s fitting the pan shape.
Heat a cast-iron or non-stick large skillet to medium-high. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil and let heat for a bit. Add the shredded potatoes, chopped onion, and seasonings. Don’t be shy with the salt and pepper! Let it cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown on one side. Drizzle the other 2 teaspoons of oil over the top and then carefully flip over. Let the other side cooked for about 5-7 minutes. Pour the green chile sauce over top and let it heat for a bit. Carefully crack the eggs into the hot green chile. Cover to cook. Don’t get distracted. This would be a sad dish with cooked through eggs. Serve it up with the optional ingredients. But honestly, it’s amazing without them too. This dish is well-paired with good coffee.
If you want to make it with grits instead you’ll need to cook the grits according to the package directions. For a 2-4 person serving: add a tablespoon of butter and some sharp shredded cheese or good parmesan.
My husband left for 3 weeks of work in Hawaii. He will be working on a home show about luxury swimming pools. (enter Hawaii-ish and jealousy emjois) I wanted to make a nice dinner for him last night with a Hawaiian flair. Turns out, this week is also Hawaiian Food Week. How perfect! I made macadamia crusted cod with sushi rice and a salad of pineapple, avocado, and cucumber. The macadamia nuts are finely chopped and then mixed with some panko bread crumbs for the perfect crunch. The sushi rice is mixed at the very end with some lime zest, coconut aminos, and rice vinegar. The avocado, pineapple, cucumber salad adds the perfect fresh contrast and really makes this dish. I have to be honest though, I used nectarines instead of pineapple because that is what I had. It was fantastic! But this is Hawaiian foods week, so pineapple it is.
*a note about sushi rice: This is easy to find now in most grocery stores. I like it for this because it keeps with the Hawaiian theme and I love the sticky texture. You could definitely substitute regular rice in this dish. Quinoa could be a good choice too if you’re trying to behave yourself.
Start the sushi rice. Rinse the rice in a fine mesh strainer until the water runs clear. Then combine with 1 1/2 cups water plus 2 tablespoons in a small saucepan. Sprinkle a little salt in there and turn on high. Once it’s boiling turn it to low for about 10-15 minutes and then turn it off, DON’T PEEK, and let it set for another 15 minutes. My big rice cooking advice is to just not lift the lid. Every time I peek, ruined.
season with some salt and pepper and set aside. Mix the egg and water and set aside. Get out the cod and pat it very dry with a towel.
Don’t start making the fish until after the rice has cooked. Transfer the rice to a large mixing bowl like this:
Stick it in the fridge while you get the cod going. For this meal, the cod is best nice and hot but the rest of the meal is best at room temp. Cut the cod in to the portion sizes you desire. I cut our 2 servings into four pieces. Season each side of the cod with salt and pepper. Add the 3 tablespoons of coconut oil to the non-stick pan and turn on medium high. Then, take the cod pieces and dunk into the egg and then dredge into the macadamia nut/breadcrumb mixture. Press each side firmly into the crumbs and then place into the hot pan. Repeat with all cod pieces. You want to keep the temp on medium high so that the coating gets nice and crunch and brown but the fish doesn’t get too done. overdone cod is pretty gross. Perfectly done cod is, well, perfection. 2-4 minutes each side should do the job.
Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate and season with a little more salt and pepper while it’s hot. Stick it in a 180 degree oven while you mix the rice.
Take the rice out of the fridge and mix it with the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, and olive oil. Use a microplane to zest a lime over the bowl and then mix it into the rice. Save that lime to serve with the meal.
Time to plate! Use a 2/3 measuring cup to scoop out rice and press it firmly into the cup. Turn it upside down and transfer to a plate to make it look fancy. Put the cod on the plate and then spoon the salad over everything. Garnish with green onions or chives, lime wedge and some chili pepper powder. I used gochugaru (Korean pepper flakes), but ground ancho pepper would be good, or a little smoked paprika, or even spicy cayenne pepper.
Makes 2 servings with a little extra rice to put in the fridge and to make fried rice with the next day. |
8,456,252 | Chris Young has been winding down the tail end of his extended 2018 Losing Sleep Tour, and the country star recently took a moment to reflect to The Boot on the banner year he's had.
"It's been a wild, crazy year," Young says. "[I got to check playing at Nashville's] Bridgestone [Arena] off my list, in terms of having played there and packing out almost 14,000 people. It's just been incredible."
Some of the highlights of a memorable tour, adds Young, have been the performers he's been able to take with him on the road. "I've been so lucky to have people like Lanco, Kane Brown, Morgan Evans, Dan + Shay ... There's not much I can say other than, it's been almost perfect," he reflects. "If anything could actually ever be perfect, I'd say it's been this year."
"I'm just really excited. I've been in the studio constantly," he goes on to say. And while his current single, "Hangin' On," is still climbing the charts, the singer says that new music isn't far behind.
The only downside to Young's jam-packed tour schedule in 2018, he admits, has been that he hasn't had time to get ahead on his holiday shopping. "I'm so behind! I normally start around June. So that's one side effect, that I haven't had time to do that yet," he says.
However, one thing the country star does have nailed down is what his adorable -- and Instagram-worthy -- dog Porter is going to dress up as for Halloween: "I'm gonna put a little black cloak on him and give him a Z with pet paint, and he's going to be 'Hairy Porter,'" Young adds with a laugh. "Come on! I'm a dork."

18,552,004 | In my previous reviews of eero and Luma, I haven't done a very good job of testing their key feature: mesh. Mesh is this year's answer to all that ails your Wi-Fi networks' performance. Just buy a three pack of cute little devices for somewhere between $300 and $500 and you'll have the fastest, smoothest running Wi-Fi network ever...honest!
Mesh wireless systems rely on wireless connections among multiple nodes to work their magic. So our normal throughput vs. attenuation chamber testing doesn't tell the full story. So I took four products, eero, Luma and Ubiquiti Networks' Amplifi and Amplifi HD (yes, a full review is coming), set them up to force a multi-hop configuration, then measured performance at the root, middle and far-end nodes.
Mesh wireless makers would love buyers to set their systems up in a perfect configuration. This would be with the root node (the one hardwired to your modem or current router) in the center of your home and the two other nodes equidistant from the root node. And, oh yeah, make sure there is clear line of sight between everything.
This recommendation is pretty silly, given the main reason people need to resort to wireless extenders, BHR (Big Honkin' Routers) and now wireless mesh systems in the first place is to make up for the fact that they can't place their router in the center of their home. Of all the vendors trying to sell mesh wireless only NETGEAR acknowledges that most routers live at one end of a home, many times in the basement or lower level—the most convenient place for an installer to run a line. Their new Orbi assumes that the router unit will be stuck against a wall as shown in the promotion image below.
Since SmallNetBuilder is all about what happens in the real world, we tested all four products placing the root node in a downstairs office at one end of SNB Manor, the second node in an upstairs allway pretty much at the center of the house and the third node in our beloved kitchen zone of Wi-Fi death. The approximate locations are shown in the floorplan below.
Note the Hallway and Kitchen node locations appear closer together in the floor plan than they actually are. I used the same locations for all products, chosen to accommodate both wall-plugged and desktop formats and to ensure that I could test a true two-hop scenario. In other words, I didn't want the Kitchen node to be able to see the Office node.
I'll admit that better locations could have been chosen for each product. But none of the apps told me to move the nodes to improve the signal either during or after setup. In fact, only Amplifi provides any indication of signal strength between nodes or how nodes are connected.
The left screenshot shows Amplifi's two "mesh points" in single-hop mode, i.e. each directly connected to the router and with backhaul links of pretty much equal signal strength. The right screenshot shows the mesh points in a two-hop configuration, with a weak backhaul link between the router and first mesh point and a much stronger link between the first and second mesh point.
I think the right side Amplifi screenshot accurately illustrates the conditions all four products encountered; low signal level from Office to Hallway node and stronger signal level from Hallway to Kitchen node.
Before testing, I had eero and Amplifi products check for firmware updates. eero was running v 1.1.4 and Amplifi ran version 1.3.0. Luma provides neither a way to see firmware version nor a way to check for updates.
I tried to use each system as a typical user would, i.e. not mucking with anything in the app other than what was needed to get set up. Basically this meant setting the network name (SSID) and wireless encryption key. In each case, I left other app settings at their defaults and set each system up with a single SSID for both bands. Only Amplifi lets you choose the band to use for backhaul (it defaults to 5 GHz) to both mesh points and whether to steer devices to the 5 GHz band (the default). I left both settings at their defaults. I made no attempt to figure out or control which band was used for backhaul during testing.
The test client was my trusty Lenovo x220i with a NETGEAR A6200 AC1200 class USB adapter plugged in and the notebook's internal wireless disabled. I checked the adapter's properties to ensure that both bands were disabled and no band preference was set. Any roaming settings were left at their default "auto" settings. In other words, I tried to have the client be as compliant as possible to any "guidance" the mesh system might provide for roaming or band steering. For each test, the laptop was location 5 - 6 ft. from the node being tested.
I used IxChariot running the throughput.scr test script with test file size set to 5,000,000 bytes and TCP/IP protocol; my usual setting for wireless AC testing. Each test was run once with a single connection for one minute and the average throughput recorded. Windows' wireless network connection status doesn't provide the BSSID of the wireless connection, i.e. the MAC address of the AP connected to. So I used NETGEAR's genie utility and recorded each connection's BSSID and link rate to confirm that the test client was connected to the proper node.
In general, the laptop connected to the 5 GHz band for all tests. The only exception was the Amplifi HD. When it roamed to the Hallway node, it initially connected in 5 GHz for the uplink test, which was run first. But before I started the downlink test, I noticed it switched to 2.4 GHz. So I reran the uplink test, then ran the downlink. The client stayed connected in 2.4 GHz for the Kitchen tests, too. But when I forced the client to reconnect, it connected to 5 GHz.
The first graph tells the tale for downlink throughput for each of the three test locations. The Kitchen - Reconnect results reflect a second test run in the Kitchen location, after forcing the client to disconnect, then reconnecting. This was necessary because in all cases, the test client always roamed from the Office to Hallway node, but did not roam from Hallway to Kitchen. To state more clearly, the Kitchen - Reconnect test is the one to look at for two-hop performance. The Hallway test represents best case single-hop performance.
The standard Amplifi's Office throughput is significantly lower than the Amplifi HD and also eero and Luma. But that is its only weak point. Otherwise, the throughput of the two is evenly matched, with the HD even falling behind the standard Amplifi in the first Kitchen run. The clear winner for downlink is eero. Although it doesn't turn in the highest throughput in the best-case Office run, it does in all the other tests, including the two-hop Kitchen - Reconnect test. For two-hops, the clear loser is Luma, barely eking out a connection at 0.7 Mbps.
Uplink shows a more significant difference between Amplifi and Amplifi HD once you get a hop or two in the connection. Luma again does not do well in the two-hop Kitchen - Reconnect test. eero again does well, but bows to the Amplifi HD in the two-hop test. |

The news video is amazing and shocking. You see in real time a woodworking factory building collapse under the weight of a massive snowfall. For most folks that would clearly be the end of the line, but not for the resilient people at Sunco, now doing business as the revived Eastman St. Woodworks in Easton, Mass.
Not only has owner David Sun rebuilt the factory, taking its new name from the street it is on, but also he has made it a showplace for state of the art cabinet manufacturing. Furthermore, he has created a new market segment he calls “quarter custom” that he hopes will help Eastman become the clear leader in the cabinet industry in the Northeast.
News crews rushed to the Sunco factory on February 2, 2011, when they heard that the weight of a massive snowfall had partially collapsed the building. But just as they arrived and had started filming, the entire roof buckled and flattened the building to the ground. In the video, you can see the videographer hurriedly wipe the lens to clear raindrops for a better picture.
The good news was none of the employees in the building were harmed. They all made it out safely, but it was still a terrifying experience. After the disaster, some employees told Maria Papadopoulos of Enterprisenews.com, how their “hearts were pounding, we were just petrified running through the building. You could hear the ceiling crackling. We were just afraid it was going to fall right on top of our heads.”
Amid the questionable economic climate of 2011, especially in the woodworking industry, no one would have been surprised if a cabinet manufacturer suffering such a disaster would have just closed up shop. But that’s not the attitude of David Sun.
“Whether it’s crazy or not, we never seriously thought of not rebuilding,” he says. A family business, Sunco was founded in 1983 by Linda and William Sun, and David is committed to continuing that legacy into the next generation and beyond. His dream is to make Eastman the leading cabinet manufacturer in the Northeast. And he says he is very appreciative of customers and employees who have enthusiastically supported the rebuilding effort.
Sun is confident that there is a strong demand for regionally made cabinets that can compete with national manufacturers. “I believe we can establish something special here in Massachusetts,” he says.
Rebuilding a factory is not just about putting up a new building. It makes you think about everything to do with the business and how it can be done better. At Eastman St. Woodworks, that means a heavy dose of modern technology.
From rough mill to finished assembly and shipping, the company has worked closely with technology partners to build a more efficient cabinet manufacturing facility. One of the foundations of the company is a commitment to use 100-percent domestically sourced materials, and a significant portion of the new 150,000-square-foot plant is devoted to storage and processing of solid wood. From atmospherically controlled storage areas to the first step on a Weinig Raimann ProfiRip KM310M rip saw, Eastman is looking to optimize its processes. Even waste is optimized, collected and ground at each station with a Weima system and then ported through ducts for further processing. A Weinig Powermat 400 moulder is the next step in the process, followed by a Weinig Dimter Opticut S90 optimizing cutoff system.
On the panel processing side, the first step is a Holzma HPP 350 computerized beam saw, followed by a Weeke point-to-point CNC machining center to machine the cut parts.
Some of the most sophisticated activity comes in the finishing process when Eastman makes use of an automated Superfici finishing line for flat finishing of most parts. There are still some hand stain and spray processes in effect in keeping with “quarter custom” high-end niche the company has targeted.
In final assembly, automated pneumatic clamping stations and roller conveyors help make the process fast and efficient. And a huge shipping area in the plant gives silent testimony to potential capacity of the facility.
But all the technology and production capacity is worthless unless there is a market for the product. Rather than compete head on with semi-custom manufacturers or at the lower end of the market with mass production factory goods, Sun says Eastman is staking its future on a middle territory it calls “quarter custom.”
The idea is to offer the best features found in higher end semi-custom and custom cabinet lines, blending the most important aspects of each category and combining them into a single product with a focus on beauty, value and quality. From a practical standpoint, what the company has done is recognize that roughly 80 percent of the custom and semi-custom customers want the same set of features. So, optimizing production on that 80 percent, Eastman can produce very cost-effective products to compete for the lion’s share of the high-end market.
Features of the line include all wood construction with domestic species such as maple and cherry, limited design modifications, and a variety of choices in door styles and finishes.
“Our mission is to provide quality and value in the high-end cabinet market by focusing on the core essentials of what consumers and home owners want in their kitchen and bathroom cabinetry,” says Sun. “By taking the mystery and skepticism out of cabinet shopping, we provide our customers with the best quality and styles for the best value.”

Pacific yew, Taxus brevifolia, is a fairly rare North American softwood tree, found in southern Alaska, British Columbia, Oregon, Washington, central California, and the western slopes of the Rockies in Idaho and Montana.
Other names include yew, western yew and mountain mahogany. It often grows as only an individual tree or two amongst other softwood trees. Many yew trees are 20 to 40 feet high typically and 12 to 15 inches in diameter at the base. However, heights to 75 feet and diameters to 30 inches are found. Overall, growth is very slow, meaning that the grain is tight or close; that is, the annual rings are closely spaced.
The tree is probably best known for the anti-cancer chemical, produced by the bark and needles, called Taxol. This chemical is synthetically produced today however.
Historically, yew has been used for archery bows, bending stock, canoe paddles and musical instruments, especially lutes. It also has been used for cabinets and furniture, but its rarity has limited widespread usage. Because of its rarity, loggers should bring to the mill any pieces that may have sawing potential, including any large branches or short logs.
Trees should be harvested to maximize logs and minimize waste. At the sawmill, it is critical with this species to ascertain in advance the lumber thicknesses and widths that the customer desires. The wood is too valuable to cut in advance of an order in most cases. Note that short lumber pieces, even 2-feet long, are worth developing into products.
The wood is dense, hard and strong. It is naturally resistant to insect and fungi attacks. Because of its rarity, the cost of yew wood is high.
Density. The wood’s density is two-thirds the density of water; a cubic foot of yew weighs about 42 pounds. A dry ¾-inch x 6-inch x 6-foot piece of lumber will weigh about 8 pounds. This is close to oak and maple, and is much heavier than most other softwoods, such as needle-bearing trees.
Drying. The wood must be dried quite slowly to avoid severe checking. Shake, although not a drying defect as it is caused by bacterial action in the living tree, will be accentuated by rapid drying. Most softwood drying operations with equipment for drying pine or spruce may not be able to dry the wood slowly enough. Hardwood drying techniques, including moisture sample daily during drying, such as is done with quality red oak, are suggested. The wood is not prone to warping when drying.
To reduce nail splitting when using the wood and to avoid brittleness and chipped grain when machining, the final moisture level after drying should be close 10 percent to 12 percent MC. Avoid over-drying.
Overall shrinkage in drying is about 4 percent. This is less than most other native species. Radial and tangential shrinkage is about the same meaning little tendency for cupping.
Of most concern is that the dust is highly toxic to some people (more people than with other woods) causing breathing difficulties, sneezing fits and dermatitis (especially swelling of hands).
Stability. Overall, yew is fairly stable, requiring a 5-1/2 percent MC change to cause a 1 percent size change tangentially (across the grain and parallel to the rings; the width of flatsawn lumber) and 7-1/2 percent MC change to cause a 1 percent size change radially (across the grain and perpendicular to the rings; the thickness of flatsawn lumber).
Strength. Yew is strong. The bending strength (MOR) of yew is 15,200 psi, the stiffness is 1.35 million psi, and the hardness is 1600 pounds. For comparison, eastern white pine MOR is 8600 psi, MOE is 1.2 million psi and hardness is 380 pounds.
Yew does get brittle when dried, especially if dried much under 12 percent MC. As a result, it does often split when nailing. Predrilling is often required.
Color and Grain. Due to the slow growth, the grain is fine, tight and close. The color is orange/brown. The wood does have a luster to it. Yew is odorless and tasteless. |
263,747,317 | Vallerie Needlepoint Gallery has arrived at The Needlepointer featuring many of the canvases of Amanda Lawford. We also have a shop full of fabulous magnets to add some added sparkle. Come and visit us soon.
After receiving a $1,500 SPARK grant in March and $15,000 in Innovative Grant money from two city of Tacoma neighborhoods, plus a successful Indiegogo fundraising campaign, the library took a room in Spaceworks’ 1120 Creative House on Pacific Avenue, collecting tool donations and members. It became a nonprofit and got fiscal sponsorship from Zero Waste Washington.
Finally, the committee (now a board) rented the space at 1314 Martin Luther King Jr. Way, in the former Second Cycle location near Fulcrum Gallery, did some renovation and officially opened doors March 9. Around 50 people showed up, including Christal VanEtten, the social media manager for Espionage Cosmetics on Pacific Avenue, who checked out some carpentry tools for a job at her salon’s storefront.
“It’s amazing,” says VanEtten, who found the library while browsing online for tools in the area. “I’d never heard of being able to borrow tools. We’ll definitely go back again. It’s close, and they have a lot of tools we’d benefit from as a small business. And it’s a way to help out other businesses downtown.”
It’s about tool access and sustainability. I own a house, and I want a resource like this that I can use.”
On May 14, the Tacoma Tool Library will have its grand opening party, with entertainment, food and drink to celebrate how far it’s come.
Tool libraries might not be common in Tacoma, but they’re a community resource that pops up in cities across North America and Europe — dozens are listed at localtools.org. Around Puget Sound, the Phinney Ridge tool library goes back to the 1980s; others exist in northeast and southeast Seattle, downtown, Capitol Hill, West Seattle and Vashon, with one coming soon in Federal Way.
Sharestarter.org even offers a kit on how to create your own tool library. Many are run by neighborhood associations, some (like Toronto, Ontario) partner with the city book library system. They often include spin-off groups for makers and tinkerers. All run on the same concept: tools available for borrowing with a small annual fee.
“Our main goal is to be community-driven and accessible,” explains Solverson, who with the rest of the board visited a lot of other libraries, using their structures, waiver forms and so on as a model.
The result is a friendly, practical space staffed with volunteers during the two current open sessions on Wednesday evenings and Saturdays. In the front room, green pegboards line the walls, and worktables made from salvaged plywood sit in the center — the board plans to hold DIY workshops beginning this summer on everything from tool maintenance to pruning. A small center room currently houses a vintage treadle sewing machine; the plan is to bring in more machines as they are donated and create an in-house sewing center. In the big room at the back are the tools, arranged neatly around the walls on shelves and hooks, the 28-foot ladders easily accommodated by the high ceilings.
As a member comes in to borrow a level (it’s Solverson’s father, Charles), co-founder Sharayah Kinney shows a volunteer how to use the checkout system on a tablet. It’s quick and easy, and sends a confirming email to the borrower, as well as a reminder of when the tool’s due back (one week). It also connects to the website, updating the tool inventory to show members what’s currently available.
Thanks to grants and generous donations, the tool library has an impressive inventory already, power tools, saws, axes, caulking guns. They also have two tall shelves filled with “consumables” — extra items like nails, sandpaper and tile that folks can help themselves to or donate to if they have extra at the end of a project.
“Electric lawn tools, with summer coming,” says co-founder Harlan Foster. “We don’t have any wheelbarrows or power washers. Anything specialty. Scaffolding.”
The only thing the library can’t take is gas-powered tools, for insurance reasons. But they’re happy to take anything else in good condition — and they’re actively looking for more volunteers and members.
On the front noticeboard is a member wish-list for workshops, but these depend on someone in the community willing to teach and money raised through a just-launched online campaign. Other ideas include “Ask a Contractor” evenings, which would give DIY-ers the chance to get expert advice on projects, and maybe a fixer evening for mending small appliances.
The tool library concept relies on community goodwill and does have the potential for misuse. On the whole, though, Solverson and her crew aren’t too worried about theft. The tool space is lockable, members who borrow and don’t return are trackable (and not that common in other tool libraries). If you break a tool, you pay for its value, either second-hand or new.
“The Northwest is a progressive place,” he says. “Twenty years ago you’d be ticketed for owning chickens. Now the city encourages them. It feels like a good place to be doing this.”
Membership: $40 adult; $30 senior, student; $20 low-income per year (suggested). Other tiers include $100 founding member, $150 business and $250 life member.

14-year Major League veteran signed to minor league contract with invite to Major League Spring Training.
SEATTLE – Seattle Mariners Executive Vice President & General Manager of Baseball Operations Jack Zduriencik today announced that the Mariners signed infielder Mike Sweeney to a minor league contract with an invite to Major League Spring Training.
"Mike has been a very productive hitter in his Major League career," Zduriencik said. "He hasn't been 100% physically the past couple of years, but says he is feeling very good now. We're looking forward to giving him a chance to come to camp and compete."
Sweeney, 35, hit .286 (36x126) with 13 runs scored, 8 doubles, 2 home runs and 12 RBI in 42 games with the Oakland Athletics in 2008. He missed 85 games while he was on the disabled list from May 29 to September 2 after having surgery on both of his knees. Sweeney appeared in two games after returning from the DL and was released by the A's on September 9.
Sweeney is a .299 career hitter with 199 home runs and 849 RBI in 1324 games over 14 seasons in the Majors. Sweeney spent the first 13 years of his career in Kansas City before signing a minor league contract with Oakland on February 11, 2008. He is a five-time All-Star (2000-03, 2005) and hit .300 in four consecutive seasons from 1999-2002, including a career high .340 in 2002. He set a Royals single season RBI record with 144 in 2000 and added a career high 29 home runs that year and in 2001.
The Mariners now have 58 players reporting to Major League Spring Training (40 players on 40-man roster, 18 non-roster invitees). Pitchers and Catchers will hold their first workout February 14 in Peoria, Ariz., and the first full-squad workout will be held Feb. 18. |
248,608,941 | It’s the last day of the Springtime Silent Movie Challenge and I am sharing what I watched! I indulged myself utterly by filling my viewing list with pictures from France and Britain but there are some other lovely tidbits to be found as well.
If you took part in the challenge, please be sure to share your results! The challenge has two parts.
British filmmaker R.W. Paul is not well-remembered today but he sold Georges Melies his first camera. This trippy little film shows the lengths that people will go to to avoid a traffic ticket. It’s a valuable work because it showcases that trick films were not a French exclusive.
Actual footage from Roald Amundsen’s successful attempt to be the first human being to set foot on the South Pole. Also, penguins. The historical value is obvious but the homespun quality (Amundsen himself did some of the filming) is an added charm.
This was just delightful! A torn-from-the-headlines French comedy about the real theft of the Mona Lisa made just weeks after the event. Silent cinema moved at breakneck speed!
This is the earliest German feature film I have seen to date, so I am pretty pleased. It’s not perfect, of course, but viewers may be surprised by some of the sophisticated techniques employed. It’s a biopic and a bit stiff but still very illuminating.
This is actuality footage of the Russian royal family and was apparently viewed by author Franz Kafka, who wrote a sarcastic blurb about it. As a Jewish man, his focus was not on the glamor and ceremony so much as the cruel anti-Semitic policies in force at the time. (For example, approximately 400 Jews were killed in the 1905 Odessa Pogroms.)
The earliest R.W. Paul film I have seen and it’s exactly what it says on the tin: the Epsom Derby is caught on film. What it lacks in story it more than makes up for with the chance to see living, breathing Victorians.
Alice Guy’s macabre little medical comedy uses special effects to show a patient having his limbs amputated and reattached. That may sound like the start of a horror film but Guy keeps things light and the patient is dancing by the end.
R.W. Paul also takes on modern medicine with even zanier results. Baby incubators were saving lives all over the world but what if you leave the kid inside too long? GIANT BEARDED BABY!
A real tearjerker based on the Hans Christian Andersen story about a small street vendor who burns her wares and experiences visions as she slowly freezes to death. The special effects used by director James Williamson make this version particularly tasteful.
Another Alice Guy film, this one captures a serpentine dance. You know, those wonderful dances where the performer whisks around specially designed skirts in a pattern. Dance films were particularly popular because the moving performers and their costumes were particularly well-suited to hand-color.
The exercise was fun and I was once again struck by the sheer variety and quality in motion pictures from the very beginning. I hope you also had fun on your journey. Even if you didn’t complete all ten viewings, I would love to hear your feedback and see your viewing list.
An ultra feminine environment brought up an aspect of women sexuality and relating to men that I had not thought about before. I encountered it on a beach on Koh Phangan in Thailand.
Friends of mine that were too shy to comment on this post asked me to elaborate some more. When I read the post again, it sounded coded indeed 🙂 . I need to be more clear.
More on this idea to come. I’ll write a more elaborate post at some point. It’s too good to let it go just like that.
“I’m on this paradise island, at a fantastic yoga/meditation/spa/vegetarian retreat that’s got a little… problem. There was an open mic evening tonight, and a woman recited a poem of hers named “Overdue for a woo” – very sweet, good sense of humor, where the punch line was “we [women] want respect and equal pay, but we still want to be seduced”. She said she wrote the poem for herself, and had no idea how many women feel the “pain”.
This poem overlaps a perpetual lack of raw testosterone for the quantity of hot hot hot women here by the retreat. Too much breathing on chakras, eye gazing and elevating energy, while a shortage of hair-pulling, bend-me-over kind of stuff. Or so they complain. Surprise, what do women want?!
Obviously I got scared . Two options: I change my orientation, or get the hell out of here. In the meantime, I’m deep into nostalgia, and try to remember that there are hot guys out there.

18,825,011 | Student teams use sensors—motion detectors and accelerometers—to collect walking gait data from group members. They import their collected position and acceleration data into Excel® for graphing and analysis to discover the relationships between position, velocity and acceleration in the walking gaits. Then they apply their understanding of slopes of secant lines and Riemann sums to generate and graph additional data. These activities provide practice in the data collection and analysis of systems, similar to the work of real-world engineers.
Engineers analyze systems that they want to maintain or change. For instance, an environmental engineer might wonder why a natural system is becoming unstable. A software engineer might analyze how a particular software application behaves when it is given unorthodox input. A mechanical engineer might analyze why a system has an unexpected energy loss. Through the engineering design process, engineers collect data about systems and analyze that data. This activity provides a hands-on laboratory experience in which students collect data and then analyze it to determine relationships between the data variables.
A working knowledge of the terms position, velocity and acceleration, and a fluency in Microsoft Excel® in order to perform the necessary data analysis.
After students have complete the associated activity to collect and graph acceleration data from walking human subjects, they learn more about gait analysis---the study of human motion, which is used as biometric data for human medical diagnostics and (non-human) comparative biomechanics.

For motion detectors, the author used Vernier products, but other motion detectors, along with the necessary accompanying graphing calculators or other similar devices, would work as well. Possible motion detectors options include:
For accelerometers: The LabQuest 2 has an internal accelerometer. Possible other accelerometers include:
internal accelerometer of a smartphone (or tablet or other device), combined with a downloaded app to access data; many free or low-cost accelerometer apps are available through Google Play for Android devices; for example, the "Physics Toolbox Accelerometer" by Vieyra Software was successfully tested and data was collected and transferred to a computer
Today's activity is composed of two parts. Collectively, they provide you with data collection and analysis practice—similar to the work of real-world engineers.
In the first part, working in groups, you will use motion detectors and accelerometers to collect data related to your gait, which is how you walk. Engineers often collect data about systems to be able to create models. It is an important skill to learn about what data you need to collect and how to collect that data in order to describe a system.
In the second part of the activity, you will analyze the collected data to determine the relationships between position, velocity and acceleration of your gait. Engineers are constantly analyzing data to see if modifications to processes and systems are having the desired effect. This analysis might occur at several stages of the engineering design process, such as an initial analysis of the problem or in the later testing and/or improvement steps.
secant line: A line that locally intersects two points on the curve. Secant lines can be used to approximate the tangent to a curve by moving the points of intersection of the secant line closer to the point of tangency.
Determining how a system works is essential for engineers. This activity provides hands-on practice in data collection and analysis of that data. In this laboratory experience, students apply mathematics and physics to data that they have collected. They explore the relationships between an object's position over time, its velocity and its acceleration. The collection and analysis of data can be important at many stages of the engineering design process.
Part 1 of the procedure can be completed using a Vernier motion detector (or Go!Motion) and LabQuest 2, which has an internal accelerometer, or other alternatives mentioned in the Materials List, such as a sensor/interface/software system that records measurements and creates graphs from the internal accelerometers in smartphones. With a motion detector connected and the internal accelerometer enabled, the LabQuest 2 collects data and generates graphs of position vs. time and acceleration vs. time of students' gaits. Students can either use the graphs displayed by the LabQuest 2 for their analyses or transfer the data to Microsoft Excel® (or similar program) to create the graphs. Part 2 of the procedure can be completed using Excel®, or the alternatives suggested in the Materials List.
Below is an explanation of the data and graphs students generate, provided for the teacher in the attached example student data results files: "Gaitway" to Acceleration Activity x-t and v-t Graphs and "Gaitway" to Acceleration Activity a-t and v-t Graphs.
The position vs. time graph shows a slow initial velocity followed by an increase in speed, then a somewhat constant velocity, and finally a decrease in speed to a slow final velocity. Calculating velocities using slopes results in a velocity vs. time graph with features that match this description of motion.
The acceleration vs. time graph is much more erratic on a step-by-step basis, and it is not possible to describe the motion without using integration to calculate velocities and produce the corresponding velocity vs. time graph, which generally matches the shape of the other velocity vs. time graph.
After asking students the warm-up questions (provided in the Assessment section) and presenting the Introduction/Motivation content, divide the class into groups of three or four students each.
Tell students that they will be using motion detectors and accelerometers to collect data relating to position vs. time and accelerometers vs. time of their walking gaits.
To begin, have one student in each group serve as a human subject for data collection, correctly positioning the data collection hardware on his/her body. (See Figures 1 and 2). To do this, students first use a belt or strap to attach a motion detector to the front of a group member and an accelerometer to his or her front or back. Position the motion detector so it is directed horizontally toward a wall that is perpendicular to the direction the student will be walking, and orient the accelerometer with its axis horizontal and parallel to the direction the student will be walking.
Have students collect position vs. time and acceleration vs. time data from the two sensors simultaneously while their group members walk forward toward a wall. Collect the data with a sample rate of at least 20 Hz, and have the sensors interpret the direction from the human subject toward the wall as the positive direction.
Have student groups write descriptions of the motion of the human subject group member who walked with the motion detector and accelerometer. (Note: Depending on time constraints, either have all students in the groups perform the walk to collect data or only selected members.)
After data has been collected, direct students to produce position vs. time graphs for the motion detector data, and acceleration vs. time graphs for the accelerometer data. The easiest way to create the graphs is by using some graphing utility, such as via a computer or graphing calculator.
Direct the students to examine their graphs to identify features that correspond to the characteristics of the walkers' motions.
Tell students that they will analyze their data and use position data to generate velocity and acceleration data, and use acceleration data to generate velocity and position data.
To begin, direct students to import their position vs. time data to Excel® and create a graph. Then have them use the slopes of secant lines for small time intervals on the position vs. time graph to calculate approximate values of the instantaneous velocity for each time value and construct a graph of velocity vs. time.
Next, students use the slopes of secant lines for small time intervals on the velocity vs. time graph to calculate approximate values of the instantaneous acceleration for each time value and construct a graph of acceleration vs. time. At this point, have groups write descriptions of the motion represented by the graphs.
Next, students import their acceleration vs. time data and construct a graph of acceleration vs. time. Using Riemann sums for small time intervals on the acceleration vs. time graph, students calculate approximate values of the instantaneous velocity for each time value (initial velocity must be given or assumed), and construct a graph of velocity vs. time.
Next, students use Riemann sums for small time intervals on the velocity vs. time graph to calculate approximate values of the instantaneous position for each time value, (initial position must be given or assumed) and construct a graph of position vs. time.
To conclude, have each group compare the two sets of graphs, discuss similarities and differences, and present their results and conclusions to the class.
Pre-Activity Assessment: Ask students the following warm-up questions to gauge their prior knowledge:
What is acceleration? (Answer: Acceleration is the rate of change in [derivative of] velocity with respect to time.)
As an object moves, how does its velocity change? (Answer: The velocity of an object changes based on how the object's motion changes. If the object's motion changes direction or slows down or speeds up, its velocity changes. If the object's motion remains at a constant speed in the same direction, its velocity is unchanged.)
As an object moves, how does its acceleration change? (Answer: The acceleration of an object changes based on how the object's motion and velocity changes. If the object's motion changes direction or its velocity increases or decreases, the object's acceleration changes. If the object's velocity remains constant, its acceleration is unchanged.)
Can you describe the relationships between position, velocity and acceleration graphically using slopes and areas?
Can you describe the relationships between position, velocity and acceleration mathematically as rates of change?
Can you apply secant slopes and Riemann sums to obtain approximate instantaneous values for position, velocity, and acceleration?
Summative Assessment: Assign students to individually complete the "Gaitway" to Acceleration Summative Assessment. Review their answers to gauge their depth of comprehension.

We know that technology is not only a powerful educational tool, but increasingly expected in 21st century classrooms. Digital Doohickeys: Expanded Form Numbers is a low prep product that allows students to practice reading and identifying expanded form numbers on the technology of your choice.
This product contains 20 task cards. They simply look at the number on the task card and select the expanded form from 3 choices. If they choose correctly, they get a screen that reads “You Did It!” and move on to the next card. If they choose incorrectly, they get a screen that says “Try Again” and are given another opportunity to choose the correct word.
This product is great as it allows students to work at their own pace and offers immediate feedback depending on the answer selected.
Great for independent work during math centers, whole group on the interactive white board, or early finishers!
Spelling lists are a fun way to hold students accountable for learning sight words and common CVC words. If you are looking to integrate spelling into your day then this is the product for you.
Each list includes 2 Red Words (Stop and Think or sight words) and 3 Green Words (Go Ahead and Sound It Out.) The words scaffold so they become familiar with short vowels... starting with short a for several weeks and then moving to short o, i, e, u.

Teaching Authors--6 Children's Authors Who Also Teach Writing: What Writing and Painting Have in Common
I’ve always wished I could paint. But I never had a chance to take any classes or really try it. Earlier this year several of my friends felt the same way I did, we all wanted to paint and never had. We decided there was no reason not to start painting, so we just did. One in the group was an artist/art teacher, so she got us started in our new adventure in acrylic painting. Now we get together each week for art.
What I didn’t expect was to find so many similarities between painting and writing. For example, though I was painting a “nonfiction” subject-a pumpkin-there were endless ways to paint said pumpkin. Just like a book about a nonfiction topic, there are endless ways to do it. I knew what a pumpkin looked like, but I painted my pumpkin, my way.
I sometimes look at the painting later and wish I’d done something a little bit different or better, just like my books.
There is satisfaction when a painting is finished to know that I started with a blank canvas and ended up with something, just like my books.
Great post, Carla! I too have wanted to try painting for a long time but haven't. Perhaps I'll give it a shot in the new year! |
72,817,499 | As much as most gamblers visit online gambling destinations to enjoy their favorite sets, most of them have been known to enjoy the free provisions that are handed to them. Therefore, casinos have made a point of providing bonuses and promotions on the regular to keep them entertained. 777 Casino, among the most prestigious online gaming sites, is well known for its rewards collection as well as that of its game sets. Players get to enjoy a new bonus every day of the week, and on Sunday, they are awarded the Sunday Surprise incentive.
The Sunday Surprise bonus is provided similar to Raffle Wednesday in the sense that gamblers are selected at random to rejoice in the seven hundred and seventy-seven cash bonus. This amount is split between fifty-four players, and there is no specific procedure of participating in the draw. One has to log in to play on the said day of the week and spotting the Ice Cream Sundae means that one is a winner.
As is the case with all other 777 bonuses, Sunday Surprise carries some claiming and wagering terms that one has to follow to attain the winnings it makes. Some of these terms include:
The offer is valid for gamblers who access the establishment on both personal computers and mobile devices
The amount has to be played through thirty times before withdrawals can be made. Players should note that they are not restricted from making withdrawal requests, but doing so will lead to the cancellation of the bonus amount and winnings made from it
Players can only make winnings as high as five hundred dollars using the Sunday Surprise offer unless it is a jackpot win. Any wins higher than this amount will be considered null and void
Any manipulation of the bonus to get winnings unlawfully will lead to being excluded from this offer and any others in 777 Casino.
777 Casino employs the use of numerous other bonuses aside from Sunday Surprise to rewards its clients. Some of the offers one is bound to run into include:
Players should ensure that they read and meet the terms presented with these incentives to make their time in the casino enjoyable.
Cassava Enterprises Limited Casino is the founding company of 777 Casino, which has grown to become a leading name online. This gaming establishment is licensed to provide online games by the UK Gambling Commission and Malta Gaming Authority. These firms are the most prestigious in the business, which has helped 777 gain the massive following that it brags today.
777 Casino has made every day a reward day for its gamblers, and Sunday Surprise is a great way to start the week with free cash to enjoy various games and stand a chance at jackpot prizes.

135,346,344 | I take the morning off, and roll in for the afternoon session. It begins with Moses Serubiri giving a paper on Ugandan Identity and the Arts. Moses is a soft-spoken and, as it turns out, quite brilliant speaker. He is also a violinist and a photographer. Here's an attempt to capture a few of his points:
1) The ultimate challenge of the artist is to be unsure of the Ugandanness that constitutes their identity: "We are as we have been influenced," says Moses. But he also asks, "What are we influenced by? What are our choices?" Ugandan indentity is shaped by many influences.
2) In Uganda, there is sectarianism, tribalism, and racism (much, I would argue, as there is in Canada, or pretty much everywhere I've traveled). For the writer / artist, difference must be expressed in a language comprehensible BEYOND the borders in which it has been produced. Through the language of art, difference can be bridged.
3) Ugandan identity on stage is fluid. A character can change from one kind of identity to another, depending on circumstances, since Ugandan identity is shaped by many influences, and is dependent on context.
After Moses speaks, others begin to join the conversation. Binyavanga Wainaina (who has decided to stay for the whole conference, since it's an AMAZING thing), speaks about how art can create a space for awkwardness. He speaks of the shyness / shame that so many (maybe all?) people carry with them, and the need for a mask. Yet the mask is just that - a cover. Art can look under the mask, at the unguarded human.
Sam Okelo - another Artistic Director, and local force of nature - sums it up nicely: "One of the things that keeps human beings alive is fear." To this can be added Ted Hughes' notion that art throughout history has operated as medicine for a damaged consciousness. We are all, always, trying to understand how to behave, and we want to get it right because we are afraid of getting it wrong. And so - as Binyavanga says - we pick up masks. Art can offer solace, ways of being, comfort, challenge.
Kiki Katese, from Rwanda, says that the first time she felt really alone was as an artist. But she also speaks of the responsibility of the the citizen, and that the artist is not exempt from this. Because, as she says, if we don't pay attention, we will lose ourselves.
But she adds how difficult it is to survive as an artist "in our countries, where we have to prostitute ourselves".
The talk continues and it is fascinating. Is there an African Identity? Is there an African signature in African work? The room is full of some of the most articulate, thoughtful, and precise thinkers I have ever been honored to be in a room with. I am captured by this talk, and forget to take more notes. Hence the skimpiness of the blog at this point! But there is a chorus of Canadian chatter at one point when one of the Ugandans asks, "Do other peoples worry about identity as much as we do?". The Canadians all practically shout "Yes!" Who we are on this earth seems to be an ongoing, unsolvable puzzle. But it seems right that it is the artist who wrestles with it, in ways beyond the sphere of other forms of human expression, beyond empirical study, journalism and politics.
The evening is Nova. Nova Bhattacharya dances for us all, and it is tremendous. She dances three pieces, and speaks between each. The first is Classical Indian Dance. The second is an early piece of hers, when she was exploring a contemporary way to use Classical dance in performance. The final piece was made for Nova by Canadian choreographic legend Jose Navas. Through the three pieces, we see both the evolution of Nova's practice, and the incredible skill and depth of her expression. It is riveting.
Inspired perhaps by all the fascinating talk of the afternoon, Nova introduces herself as a Canadian, and how tricky it can be to maintain that simple identity when she dances - how the South Asian-ness of her appearance, and the form she has trained in (in Canada!), leads others to assumptions.
Today's panel is an examination of She. There are three speakers from three different countries: Odile Katese ("Kiki") from Rwanda; Pamela Acaye (one of thee conference directors) from Uganda; and Sarah Sunde (a director and the associate AD of New Georges in NYC), from the USA. Here are a collection of impressions:
1) Kiki speaks about all she has done in Rwanda - creating the organization, Professional Dreamers, creating the Women Drummers of Rwanda, founding a national drum festival, running an International Theatre Festival: "From the stage, I learned to be active. To make something from nothing. I had to accept to be stubborn."
2) Sarah speaks about New Georges in New York. It is a theatre with 175 associated directors and writers. They are careful with the language they use to describe themselves, and say, mostly, that they make plays that happen to be created by women.
3) Pamela speaks of women's stories. She says that these stories are everywhere in the environment around us, that every mat, every basket has a story, perhaps of subjugation, perhaps of rebellion.
The moderator, Melissa Kiguwa, speaks about the age-old invisibility of women's words in the world of the published book: "If women are writing, where are their words?"
Pamela tells the story of her mother - the second wife of her father. Pamela's mother gave birth to too many girls, and was judged as worthless. One day, male relatives came to the house to clear away all of these useless girls, to throw them into the market, to make their own way as prostitutes, or, well, whatever. Pamela's mother stood up to the men, and kept her girls together. The young Pamela watched this, and something awoke in her - an awareness.
Kiki spoke of poverty, and the women drummers she works with, of learning the despair of women. She says that until she began to work with them, and understand the pressures of their lives, "I didn't know how poor they were".
The talk shifts to harm - and how an educated woman who goes into a community to work with local women, may have to be very careful to not leave harm, to not create stigma, to not mark these women out for derision or retribution. A woman named Sophie Alal, artistic director of Denyu African, speaks of always asking the question: "How stealthily can I enter a community?" Sarah, the American, talks about dropping labels: "Women's Theatre" or "Feminist Theatre", since power accrues to that which doesn't need a label. I speak about Jackie Maxwell's work at the Shaw Festival, tipping the male / white balance more towards female / diverse.
Words are spoken of. Kiki says she hates the word "sacrifice". She says she doesn't make sacrifices, she makes choices.
Sophie says she hates the word "empowerment." She says we all have power inside us. The trick is getting to it. But it's not as if it's not already there.
Sophie goes on to talk of the idea of sisterhood - that a sisterhood is a safe place to talk, to enjoy a liberty from other, outside pressures. This, she says, leads to an awareness of gifts - of the things that are available to women, that may not be available to men. She speaks of the sympathy that she discovered for men through sisterhood.
Kiki - who continues to blow everyone away whenever she speaks - sums everything up perfectly: "We are just ordinary people, doing a crazy thing, an extraordinary thing." Of the women she works with, and of herself, too, she says that the work is the thing. The work is the focus, and at the end of each day, the artists doing this work, the women making this work, simply go back to their lives. The work is the thing. And this work - art, whatever you want to call it - will affect people however it will.
We all gather for the sub-Sarahan premiere of Iranian Nassim Soleimanpour's extraordinary White Rabbit, Red Rabbit. Donna Michelle St. Bernard bravely volunteers to be the actor for the piece when the scheduled actor doesn't show. The show is a cold-read, and looks at issues of art, of being trapped, and of manipulation and enforced obedience - all in an enormously quirky way. It has travelled the world since I saw a rehearsal of it in Tehran 2 years ago, and told playwright Nassim Soleimanpour I wanted to produce it. Everywhere it goes, this play seems to connect in a visceral way with the people who experience it together (it is a rare experience as audience to know that the performer doesn't know anymore than you do about what is about to happen). This is no exception. There are Rwandan and American artistic directors in the audience who want to carry on the tradition of taking these words to their own homes. |
14,547,882 | CRANBURY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As a part of a fundraising effort by Moving Mountains for Multiple Myeloma (MM4MM), 15 individuals will take on a challenging hike through Iceland from Aug. 8 to 12. MM4MM is a joint initiative between the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation, CURE Media Group and Celgene. The upcoming climb includes patients, caregivers, team members from the organizing partners and a myeloma doctor.
“As a patient founded organization, the MMRF stands together with those who are battling multiple myeloma – patients, families, physicians, researchers, and our pharmaceutical partners. This team represents a microcosm of that myeloma community and demonstrates that together, we can collaborate with ever increasing momentum towards a cure”, said Paul Giusti, CEO of the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation. “We are thrilled to enter the third year of this inspiring program and to have Celgene join us in this effort to raise awareness and critical funds to continue our mission.” Called Fire and Ice, the hike will take the participants through geologic marvels including volcanoes, glaciers, geysers, hot springs, waterfalls and mountains. The proceeds will benefit the foundation’s life-changing efforts to further the development of multiple myeloma treatments. The organization has raised more than $2 million through six completed expeditions.”
Jen Phlieger Ansier, 31, of Austin, Texas, received a diagnosis of multiple myeloma after her general physician found unusual lab results during a routine physical. Soon after, she started therapy and then received an autologous stem cell transplant in February 2007. A second transplant was needed in 2011. Since then, she has been in remission. Though she does not consider herself an endurance athlete, Ansier said, she is excited to challenge herself with the strenuous hike and hopes to inspire other young patients who are battling myeloma.
Rich Appelbaum, 64, of Oceanside, New York, received his diagnosis of multiple myeloma in 2016. He believes that his years as a competitive wrestler more than 40 years ago prepared him for this diagnosis and this hike. Keeping the wrestling mantra “Never, ever quit!” in mind, Applebaum said, he is ready to take on this challenge
Barbara, McCarrick, 59, of Pleasanton, California, received her diagnosis in 2009. She responded well to treatment that included tandem stem cell transplants but relapsed in 2013. She is now in remission and said she is eager to take on Fire and Ice to benefit the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation. “With research, clinical trials and new treatments, I will, hopefully, have a long remission and soon, a cure,” she said.
Brian Smith, 35, of Bremerton, Washington, experienced severe neck and back pain in 2016. After X-rays and other tests revealed myeloma, Smith underwent a stem cell transplant and is now in remission. “I have refused to let this disease define me,” he said. “I have worked hard to live my life as normally as I can and continue to do the things that I love.” Trekking the mountains and valleys of Iceland is in line with this philosophy, he said.
Emily Schottman, 48, of Austin, a mother of two, learned in 2010 that she had multiple myeloma. Following a stem cell transplant and treatment, she has been in remission for 7 years. Shortly after she received her diagnosis, her family decided to live boldly and create experiences together, and they have traveled to 10 countries since. Like others on the team, Schottman said she believes that this trek provides living proof that patients with myeloma are able to live their dreams.
“We are honored to be a part of this ongoing initiative,” said Michael J. Hennessy Jr., president of MJH Associates, Inc., parent company of CURE Media Group. “These initiatives have not only played a crucial role in raising funds and awareness but have also raised a sense of hope and optimism among patients, caregivers and doctors.”
“Celgene and the MMRF share an unyielding commitment to improving the lives of patients with multiple myeloma and we are extremely honored to participate in the Moving Mountains for Multiple Myeloma initiative,” said Joel Beetsch, Ph.D., Vice President, Global Patient Advocacy for Celgene. “The progress that has been made over the last decade in this disease is remarkable, however, we recognize that there is work yet to do, and are inspired by the participants in this unique program, which is raising awareness and vital funds for multiple myeloma research.”

Moving Mountains for Multiple Myeloma (MM4MM) is a collaboration between CURE Media Group and the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation to raise awareness and funds for myeloma research. This year, Amgen and Celgene Corporation join the effort as sponsors. In addition to Fire and Ice and an earlier Havasu Falls, Arizona, trek, the program will do another trek in 2018: In October, an Amgen-sponsored team will take on Everest Base Camp. To date, MM4MM has raised over $2.0 million for myeloma research and included 34 myeloma patients on 7 climbs. Funds raised go directly to research, supporting the MMRF mission. For more information, visit https://www.themmrf.org/events/.
Multiple myeloma, a cancer of the plasma cell, is the second most common blood cancer. An estimated 30,000 adults will be diagnosed this year, and 12,600 people are predicted to die from the disease.
The mission of the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) is to find a cure for multiple myeloma by relentlessly pursuing innovation that accelerates the development of next-generation treatments to extend patients’ lives.

Combining vogue finishes, a tranquil leafy outlook and a desirable floor plan, this stunning unit showcases unsurpassed quality. With its generous proportions, open plan living and enormous undercover balcony, this is undoubtedly one of the best apartments we have seen in a long time and ideal for the entertainer. Perfectly positioned on the elevated ground floor in an exceptionally well maintained boutique security complex in one of Hurstville's most sought after streets, this quality home offers a superior low maintenance lifestyle, just a stone's throw to all amenities.
* Enormous elevated undercover balcony fitted with waterproof blinds; great for extra privacy and weather protection
Please consider carpooling or taking public transit. The hotel is not far from the World Trade Center station on the Silver Line or a 3/4 mile walk from South Station (Amtrak, Commuter Rail, and Red Line).
Or take advantage of the weather and bicycle to the Westin. There is covered bicycle parking next door at the BCEC.
There are parking garages on the Red Line at Alewife (MBTA station garage, $7 per day plus $8 overnight, $15 per 24-hours) and at Park Street (Boston Common Garage), $18 per weekend day (including holidays), if you arrive after 4pm on Friday and leave before Tuesday). Wellington Station (Orange Line) has a parking lot ($6 first day plus $7 for each additional day (2am), 1,000+ parking spaces). For a complete list of overnight parking at MBTA stations, see the MBTA's Parking page.
There are overnight parking lots in Braintree, Framingham, Woburn, and Peabody. available for people that take the Logan Express bus the airport (round trip bus ticket is $22, parking is $7 per day). Also, parking at Logan Airport ranges from $26-35& per day. From the airport, it's a short hop on the Silver Line to the hotel.
Car parking in the garage under the Westin Boston Waterfront is $50 for Valet Parking per day; self-parking is $40 per day. With just 400 parking spaces in the garage, it usually sells out. Eight spaces are reserved for handicap parking and three are reserved for hybrid parking.
Valet parking includes unlimited in-and-out privileges - they'll hold a space for you, if you tell them you're coming back. Self-parking also includes in-and-out privileges, as long as the garage is not full. If the garage is full, you might be able to return at the Valet rate.
The Westin no longer has on-site bicycle racks; however, there are covered racks right next door at the BCEC.
Rates are subject to change. The garage is not operated by the hotel, so we are unable to make any adjustments in the parking rates.
Max height for the garage is 6' 8", but the parking spaces and aisles in the garage are tight. We do not recommend parking large trucks or SUVs in the garage.
If you're staying at the Aloft hotel, there is a nearby public parking lot, on D St, that charges $25 per day. You may be able to reserve your parking space in advance online.
There are parking meters in the area. Most meters are 8am-8pm; a few are 8am-6pm. All metered spaces are free on Sundays and holidays, including Martin Luther King, Jr Holiday (Arisia Monday). For vehicles showing handicapped placards or plates, meters are free and time limits are waived. For a rough idea of where the meters are, take a look at the Parkopedia site. If there is a snow emergency, you may not be able to park your car on the streets and will be required to leave the hotel to move it.
Since January 2017, the city of Boston has been experimenting with dynamic parking rates based upon demand in the Seaport district (The Westin is in the Seaport district). The base rate will be $1.50 and could go up to as much as $4 per hour.
The city of Boston has an app called "ParkBoston" for Android and iOS that allows you to use your smartphone and a credit card to pay for parking at meters in most parts of Boston (and allows you to extend your stay). If you wish to use the app, you might want to download it and configure it while you're at home. You can also call (617) 635-2729 to pay by phone or browse to https://park.boston.gov/.
New buildings are constantly being added to the Seaport district. As this happens, we lose parts of existing parking lots and parking spaces (and in some places gain new parking garages). When construction starts on the new GE headquarters it'll use part, but not all, of the Channelside lot. The parking spaces in the nearby VPNE lots are slowly being eaten up as development on Seaport Square progresses. Please keep an eye on this page for updates to the parking situation.
"Best Parking" App (used to verify these rates) - will find available parking options and rates based on your arrival and departure information. The Westin hotel is in the "Seaport District". Note: Some garages and lots might have "event" parking rates during Arisia because of the Auto Show at the BCEC (this also means there will be competition for parking spaces).
There are other parking lots nearby that range from $5 (new day begins at 5am) to $19 until midnight and $38, if you stay past midnight. Some of these lots might be full during business hours on Friday, but should have plenty of room on the weekend. So you might need to park in a nearby garage, and then move your car in the evening.
You can park your car for the weekend at VPNE's 390 Congress St. Lot (green on the map above) for $42 for overnight parking (or $21 for parking during the day). The entrances for the lot are on E. Service Rd and at Boston Wharf Rd. You pay when you exit. Due to construction, the lot is a third smaller and has only 700 parking spaces.
MassPort's lots are marked in pink on the map above; directions are below. Their hourly parking is $18 for less than 2 hours and $30 for less than 4 hours. The 5+ hour rate is $38. Closes at 3am M-F, open 24-hours Saturday and Sunday. These lots are credit card only and you must use the same card to enter and exit. No overnight parking during snow emergencies: cars will be towed.
About 1/2 mile from the hotel is the Channelside Parking Lot on Bineford St., (light blue on the map above) with rates that vary from $5 (weekends) to $22 per day (until 5am) if you enter before 3pm or $8 if you arrive after 3pm for overnight parking on weekdays. They accept credit cards. This is likely the cheapest parking close to the hotel especially for overnight parking. The Channelside lot usually full during business hours, so if you get to the lot early, you may have to park someplace else and move your car in the evening.
Self-parking at the BCEC is $18 ($36 for oversized vehicles) during events. The car show ends at 9pm Friday and Saturday, at 7pm on Sunday, and they do not allow overnight parking. They allow parking for a couple hours after events, so ask when you'll need to leave when you park. Directions are below (in yellow on the map above).
The South Boston Waterfront Transportation Center across from the Westin opened in 2018 (pale blue on the map above). It has parking for 1,500 cars and charges $38 per day.
To get to the VPNE parking lot at 390 Congress St. Lot, marked in green on the map above, from the hotel, turn right onto Summer St, and turn left onto D Street. After the bridge (third traffic light) turn left onto Congress St, go about three blocks and turn bear right onto E. Service Rd. The entrance to the parking lot will be on your left.
To get to the Channelside parking lot on Bineford St (marked in blue on the map above) from the hotel, turn right onto Summer St, and turn left onto D Street. After the bridge (third traffic light), turn left onto Congress St, go to the 4th traffic light and turn right onto A Street, go under Summer St overpass and take the second right onto Bineford St. Go forward a short block and the entrance to the parking lot will be on your your right.
[Note: Boston streets are weird. Summer and A street cross, but not at the same level. On foot, there are stairs that go from A street to Summer St. So the distance traveled by foot is shorter than the distance you'll have to drive ]
If you have a vehicle that won't fit in the parking garage., you can park overnight at one of VPNE's parking lots. If your vehicle is too tall, you can park at the 390 Congress St. Lot. If your vehicle is too large to fit in a single parking space (a truck or a car with a trailer), you can park at 391 Congress St. Lot (marked in orange on the map above), 5am-Midnight. You can also park oversize vehicles in the BCEC lot during the day. For overnight, parking you can park oversize vehicles at the Channelside lot (if you have a large vehicle, you might need to pay for two parking spaces), if there is room (they're usually full during business hours).
To get to the VPNE parking lot from the loading docks, turn left from Fargo Street onto D Street. After the bridge (third traffic light), turn left onto Congress St, go about three blocks and turn right onto E. Service Rd. The entrance to the parking lot will be on your left. If you need to get to the oversize lot, continue down E. Service Rd, turn left at Seaport Blvd, and then left again onto Congress St., the entrance to the lot will be on your right. There's a median strip down the middle of Congress St, so you can't turn left into the oversize lot.

It’s very simple to enter, all you have to do is complete THIS survey from Orgasmatronics to enter to win. This was inspired by a post from the Huffington post that revealed the top six places that Americans like to have sex. Orgasmatronics want to determine the top places that you masturbate and will publish the data at the end of this month. The survey asks where you like to masturbate, your relationship status, age group, and your contact information. Again, you can find the survey here, but you have to submit it by October 12th!
On top of the awesome give away, the Ambrosia Vibe 2.0 is currently $100 off! That’s a huge savings for an awesome toy. For those that don’t know, the Ambrosia Vibe triggers a vibrating bullet based on stimulation, pressure, and touch of a strap on dildo. You can choose from a black or purple dildo that is small or large and you also get a harness to put it in. Pretty sweet deal for only $99 right now, get it while it lasts!
Today I’m showing off a toy that you don’t hear much about anymore, but it’s one of my favorite things in my box, the Nob essence Fling. I have the mahogany version and it’s beautiful.
Ahh back again for another review. Today I’m going to review something I tend to not review often, a realistic dildo, the Maven. This is produced by Good Vibes as part of their Pleasure Works line.
I think the thing that makes me the most excited as a reviewer is when I get to help launch a brand new product. Lelo emailed me a few weeks ago asking if I would be interested in promoting and reviewing their new kegel training product, the Lelo Luna Smart Bead. There have been several kegel personal training products that have come out recently.
To start off with, why do we care about kegels? I have only reviewed a few kegel trainers, but they are all manual or considered “duo tone” kegel toys. But kegels can help increase your ability to climax as well as the strength of orgasm. Kegels also help with bladder control and overall vaginal health. The focus of the Lelo Luna Smart Bead is to increase orgasmic potential. Lelo created a Global survey that showed a few facts about female orgasm:
Unlike many studies, this was a 2014 survey which has been gathering date for 5 years and had nearly 50,000 global participants. With these facts in mind, Lelo designed the Smart Bead.
So what exactly is the Lelo Luna Smart Bead? It’s a personal pleasure training device that aims to help women achieve better orgasms through kegel exercise. The device is shaped much like the Lelo Lyla, but one surface features touch-senors that set a progressive training routine to aid women in their kegels. Once inserted, the touch-sensor responds to every squeeze in order to tailor a routine that works for you. There are 5 vibration-guided levels which are automatically updated to match the strength of your pelvic floor muscles.
The Smart Bead itself is fairly simple. You turn it on, insert it, much like a tampon, and follow the program. When the bead vibrations, you squeeze with your kegels and when it stops vibrating you stop. Three vibrations signal the end of the program and the bead turns off on it’s own. Each training routine lasts about 5 minutes, so it doesn’t even take a significant amount of time out of your day. After you have completed a routine, you can activate a continuous vibration mode to test out your orgasm after your exercise.
Be sure to follow Lelo on Twitter and Facebook for more announcements. You can also check out these hashtags for more tips, and information from other bloggers: #trainfororgasm #lelo #lelolunasmartbead #orgasmtrainer #lelotips Also don’t forget to check out the Lelo Luna Smart Bead, starting at $109 and stay tuned for my upcoming review!

2,049,105 | First off, I’m a cis, extremely white passing reviewer. I have been able to see myself in literature and media my entire life, regardless of how much my Filipino culture means to me and how proud of it I am. So even though all of these stories are ownvoices, this review you are about to read is not. After publication, I will feature some actual ownvoices reviews here because this anthology was created to support and boost diverse and marginalized voices, therefore we should also be supporting and boosting diverse and marginalized reviewers. (If you’re a PoC who would like to have your review listed on mine, please DM me on any platform!)
“It became pretty freaking clear that, book after book, adventure after adventure, the heroes weren’t like me at all. I don’t mean short and moderately athletic with severe seasonal allergies, because I’m aware those traits might hinder one’s ability to save the city/world/galaxy. I mean black boys. More often than not, if I ran across a character who shared my race and gender in a book he was a gross stereotype, comic relief, token sidekick, or, depending on genre (I’m looking at you, science fiction, fantasy, and horror), there to die so the real hero could fight another day.”
Next, friends, this was amazing. Like, go get your preorders ready. This is so worth every single penny. And if you have some extra money, maybe you’d be interested to donating to We Need Diverse Books as well. And hopefully one day we will live in a world where every child can easily see themselves in all media. And the first step to that is showing the world how important books like Fresh Ink are, and how these stories are quite literally life-changing.
This book has so much! Black stories, Asian stories, Native stories, Persian stories, Latinx stories, Muslim stories, Bi stories, Trans stories! Contemporary stories, play acts, fantasy stories, historical stories, sweet stories, heavy stories, superhero stories! And every single one is ownvoices. What a damn blessing in 2018. I’m not sure I’ve ever been as proud reviewing a book as I am reviewing Fresh Ink.
My personal favorites were Meet Cute by Malinda Lo, Why I Learned to Cook by Sara Farizan, One Voice by Melissa de la Cruz , and Super Human by Nicola Yoon, but I promise there is so much to love on every single page of this anthology. I have no word combination to let you all know how powerful and amazing this collection is.
This was so beautifully written, and it was able to evoke so many emotions from me despite this being so short. This is a story about a girl and boy who have grown up together, and who having fallen in love over the years, having to say goodbye because one of them is moving away. But while the girl and her family are moving, we also get to see a white family moving in and their disregard for the black family packing up and leaving the home they’ve known for most their lives. This was a perfect opener to this collection.
This was perfection in every single way. Like, to genderbend and racebend cosplays, to living that constantly queer life of always questioning if the person you are currently flirting with is also queer, to all the nerdy references, to the call out of me never being able to hide my blushing, to the feeling of claustrophobia and anxiousness in hectic crowd settings. This felt like a love letter to myself in every way, and it was easily the story I most connected to. This also has such an important discussion about “geek culture” and how toxic it can be, and how gross dudes can be towards girls. And this story stars two girls whose paths happen to cross at a convention center, while a big storm causes the power to go out. And if you like The X-Files and Star Trek, you have to buy this anthology for this story alone! I can’t stop smiling just thinking about this one. I loved it. And give me all the w/w stories! Masterpiece.
This was an amazing short story, that packed such a powerful punch. We follow a Native boy who lives on a reservation but is forced to go to a Junior High where he is in the vast minority. This story talks about how some people of color are more white passing, or people who are biracial, or how some choose to hide their heritage, and how some stand out now regardless of their wants or wishes. This also heavily talks about how white is the norm in most classrooms, and how hurtful that can be to teens who are proud of who they are and their beautiful not white skin color.
Friends, this was just written completely captivating for me. The conversations, the setting, the feeling of having a crush, this was just such an accurate depiction of my high school experience, and I loved it. I legit giggled tears over the Anne Boleyn conversation. Also, full disclosure here, my first kiss was at a similar concert experience as this, so this story was just completely perfect for me. All the feels. And this story’s main character is a Muslim-American teen whose parents immigrated to The United States, and the boy she is crushing over stated that his grandparents immigrated to The United States. After reading this, I instantly added Not the Girls You’re Looking for to my TBR, because this was such an addicting read! I truly fell in love with this author’s writing
This was beyond words powerful. This story is told by one act in a play that I wish the world could actually see. We get to see four boys recounting the reason they died, while hoping their tags will keep them remembered. Systemic oppression is highlighted in this story, and how we allow black men and women to die because of the broken cycles we’ve never abolished. It’s a different kind of slavery, and police brutality and internalized racism enforce it. This script evoked so much emotion from me, and seeing these young men’s stories cross is something I don’t even have words for. Seriously, this is a must read. Not just from this collection, but from all the works being published in 2018. Also, I’m reporting this with a very heavy heart, but the author of this story passed away a few years ago. But I am forever thankful that his beautiful work was still incorporated into this anthology.
This story has a Persian bi main character, and I’ve never felt so blessed. This w/w romance was also the damn cutest. Yasi also has anxiety and is feeling a little anxious to come out to her Grandmother, who immigrated to the United States from Iran seventeen-years-ago. And every Friday night, Yasi has dinner with her, and on this particular Friday, she asks her to teach her how to cook. She then spends the next two months learning everything her grandmother knows, while also not being sure how to come out. You all, this story had the best one liners in the collection. The beautiful writing and important messages were the perfect combination. ”You don’t apologize for who you are.” And the ending was the cutest thing I’ve ever read. All the happy years. This was such a bright shining light in this collection. I loved this with my entire heart.
This one had a little more difficult of a learning curve I think, just because it felt like such a fantastic, SFF world. But I still really enjoyed this one, with a Latinx main character, and I also think there was a very important discussion on how white people have stolen/taken a lot of things from people of color and try to make it their own, while also stealing credit. I also really liked how this was so very different than everything else in this anthology.
I really enjoyed this historical story that starred a black homeless boy, who’s trying to not give up on his dreams or his love for astronomy. And even though this story has its sweet moments, it was a very heavy one, too. From just reading a book about a homeless kid, to seeing everyday racism, to learning about a side character who is grieving the worst loss in this world. This was able to evoke a lot of emotions from me. And honestly? This is the type of story you read and immediately want to go out in the world and do better.
I loved this short story so very much. This story centers around a string of hate crimes that are happening on Stanford’s campus, and we get to see how it’s impacting a Filipina girl whose family was undocumented. This story talks heavily on the privilege that white and white passing people take for granted when they are doing something as simple as walking back to their dorms. How white people can use police and “authority figures” as a convenience, where people of color not only can’t, but they feel more afraid of what will happen if they speak out. And this story perfectly talks about how hard it is to reclaim your space once it has been violated and deemed unsafe. And this also even discusses how we sexualize Asian woman and how so many men fetishize them. Like I said above, I am so very white passing, but this is a book about a Filipina girl studying microbiology, what I got my degree in at UofM. Like, I knew from the first page I was going to completely love this novella the most in this collection. But as I read, I realized how I wish I could give this short story to every student and make it required reading. This was a masterpiece, and now I feel like such a fool for never reading Melissa de la Cruz before. Beautiful, important, and completely moving.
I loved how a graphic work was incorporated into this anthology, but I just didn’t completely love this one. But I did appreciate it starting out with a D&D campaign. I also think this one didn’t pack a punch like all the rest in the collection, but it’s about a Japanese boy wanting to play as a Samurai in his D&D campaign, but his DM will only allow them to be one of five classes (which is absurd!), so he is trying to get to be a Paladin. But… that’s just the DM being bad, because Paladins and Samurais are nothing alike. Just because they both use melee weapons? I’m sorry, I really wanted to love this!
Schuyler Bailar is the first openly transgender NCAA Division I swimmer. He was first recruited in 2013 to Harvard’s Women Swimming and Diving team, but after his transition he was recruited to the men’s team. And his success is such an inspiration that I honestly was crying reading his Wiki. And just knowing this makes this story even more beautiful and powerful. This story is about a trans boy who has finally come out to his school via Facebook and is now having his first day on his school’s swim team as a boy. And with that comes a brand new locker room, and new reactions from his peers. TW/CW for bullying, hate speech, transphobic slurs, use of dead name (all of these are challenged, and none are in a positive light, but it can be hard to read). This was easily one of my favorites stories in the collection, even though an ethnicity and/or culture is never brought up, but the author is a PoC.
This was probably the most perfect concluding story to any anthology every. Nicola Yoon just teleports me with her writing every time, and I need a full-length story to this immediately. Oh my gosh! But this is a powerful story about how no black person is safe from police brutality in America, not even superheroes. And one black girl unfolds the story, and has her eyes opened. This story is so relevant, so important, and is honestly a short masterpiece. I loved this so much, and it is such a shining star in this collection. I can’t wait for the rest of the world to fall in love with it.
Out of a possible 60 stars (5 stars possible for each of the 12 stories) this collection accumulated 51 stars (85%). But these numbers mean nothing, because Fresh Ink means more to me than any amount of math. This collection is so damn important, and I truly believe is life changing. This a five star read, and I implore you all to preorder and request at your libraries! Everyone deserves to see themselves and their experiences represented in book., and Fresh Ink is the anthology that the world needs.
Great review! I plan on reading this in June or July and your post made me more excited to pick it up.
Yayyyy, babe! Yeah.. I just couldn’t resist picking it up! I’m kind of anthology in love right now, too! I want them ALL! Muahaha! But I hope you love this one, too! And happy reading, beautiful! 💕xx

160,286,235 | This easy honey lime chipotle chicken recipe can be made in 30 minutes or less and has a perfect sticky/spicy/sweet sauce that will have you lickin’ your chops for days!
We all could use more easy weeknight meal recipes that are loaded with flavor, only have a few ingredients, and are easy on the pocket book too! Creating delicious sauces for your dishes are an integral part of making food tastes NOT BORING. How about a 3-ingredient Honey Lime Chipotle sauce that will perk up your taste buds and leave a sticky sweet sauce on the already succulent skin-on chicken thighs?
Growing up in the south (southern U.S. states for all my readers across the pond!) chicken and rice is a staple comfort food. If you haven’t made the leap yet to bone-in skin-on chicken thighs, I’m hear to to tell you that you’re missing out. Besides it being half the price of chicken breast, you get the added bonus of crispy skin and the most tender meat possible!
And here is another secret you won’t find: You can do what previous generations have done, and save the rendered chicken fat from the pan (before adding the sauce), and make Rosemary Chicken Fat Biscuits. I would put them up in any biscuit-making competition…they are THAT GOOD!
If you steam rice often, I’m sure you know that it can be gummy and too soft if it isn’t rinsed properly first. I like to rinse mine for about 5 minutes under cold water until most of the starch is washed off. The result is perfectly tender rice that isn’t soggy.
The chicken is so easy to make. First I sauté the chicken thighs over medium heat so as not to burn the skin. Sauté for a total of about 10 minutes on both sides, drain the fat from the pan, add the sauce, and bake in the oven until it’s cooked through.
I served the chicken and rice with a few golden raisins (totally optional) and some sliced avocado. Dinners like this make it possible to cook after a long day!
Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Sauté them in a large skillet (two skillets might be necessary to fit them all in) over medium heat. There is no need to add any oil to the pan as the fat will start to render in the pan. Sauté for about 7 minutes skin side down or until the skin is golden brown. Flip and cook on the other side for about 3 minutes until golden brown. Drain the fat from the pan as it will result in a greasy sauce.
While the chicken is sautéeing mix the lime juice, chipotle sauce, and honey together. If you REALLY like spicy food you can add one of the chipotles to the sauce. If you want mainly a little smoky flavor, just add the sauce from the canned chipotles and remove some of the seeds as they should rise to the top.
Cover the chicken thighs in the sauce and bake in the oven for about 15 minutes or until they are cooked through.
While the chicken is baking, start rinsing the rice under cold water for about 5 minutes until the water runs clear.
Bacon, crispy sage, and spaghetti are swirled in this easy and beautiful Pumpkin & Ricotta Pasta Carbonara Recipe!
Now that fall is officially here, isn’t it required by law that we consume our weight in pumpkin by November? If your pumpkin quota hasn’t been met for the week, then let this easy recipe for carbonara adorn your dinner table for those crisp fall evenings. This is my first savory pumpkin dish of the year, preceded by the outrageously delicious Pumpkin Muffins and super simple and healthy Pumpkin Chai Chia Pudding.
Recently I conducted a quick survey with my friggin’ awesome subscribers and asked what they would like to see more of on my blog. The consensus seemed to be that my readers are:
Definitely interested in learning about artisan bread and pastries, which excites me to no end as I attended artisan bread school for 2 months in Chicago a few years back!
Thank you to all of you that took the time to respond, and I’m happy to oblige your requests! Case in point, this creamy and dreamy pasta recipe I have prepared for you. I’m going to start putting together some Artisan Bread tutorials (especially for the holidays) when I can set aside enough time to really DO IT RIGHT. It takes about two days for many of my artisan bread recipes (mostly down time though), so I’ll be starting with some easier breads that are so damn good that you’ll never be able to buy store-bought bread again! In the meantime, check out these recipes here (both have videos too):
But let’s talk about this creamy pumpkin and ricotta sauce, shall we? Carbonara pasta is one of my all-time favorite pasta dishes because it’s so creamy, without the heaviness of heavy cream. I was inspired by pumpkin ravioli with crispy sage and browned butter, but wanted to create a simpler pasta dish that still hit the mark. A traditional carbonara sauce incorporates eggs as the creamy component which lends a luscious flavor and texture. The heat of the pasta and the sauce will cook the eggs, so you don’t have to be concerned with eating raw eggs.
The best way to keep the eggs from curdling is to separate them first. Add in the egg whites, then swirl the pasta in the sauce, then add the egg yolks last. Although it’s not traditional at all, I added pumpkin puree and a touch of ricotta cheese, for a distinctive twist, and smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes for heat and smoky flavor. Pancetta is traditionally used in the base of the sauce, but I find bacon is the perfect sub as it’s more affordable, and because it’s BACON FOR GOD’S SAKE!
Full Disclosure: I reserved the bacon fat to be the base for the sauce (this is pretty true to tradition), so if you want a lighter sauce, then drain and add olive oil instead.
I fried up some sage leaves in the bacon fat and set them aside. If you’ve never tried crispy sage, get ready!
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water for the sauce.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon. Drain the bacon and reserve the fat for the sauce. If you want a lighter sauce, discard the bacon fat and add 1 Tbsp. olive oil instead.
When the bacon is done, remove from the pan and add the sage leaves. Get them crispy on both sides. Don't walk away, as this happens pretty quickly. Set aside the sage leaves.
While the pasta and bacon are cooking, chop the shallot, shred the cheese, and separate the eggs. Measure the pumpkin and ricotta too.
To make the sauce, keep the pan on medium heat. Add the shallot and red pepper flakes and cook for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant (don't burn shallots!). Add the pumpkin puree, ricotta cheese, nutmeg, smoked paprika, and reserved pasta water. Stir and simmer for about 5 minutes to slightly thicken.
Drain your pasta and have it ready to go. Turn the burner on low heat, add the egg whites, and stir frequently. Add the pasta and stir to coat. Add the egg yolks and stir to combine.
We are taking your everyday quiche recipe to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL today. I have been wanting to share this recipe with you for some time now, but I had to make some tweaks first before it was ready. I learned this recipe from my one of my teachers at The French Pastry School who is a master French baker and nothing short of a Jedi Knight of breads and pastries. When I took one bite of this quiche several years ago, I think I made a deep moaning noise that I’m sure could be heard in the other classroom! I’m vocal when I like something, hehe.
I had to make some alterations to the recipe because it was so rich and buttery and cheesy, that I wanted to scale back on the calories, yet still maintain the lusciousness and beautiful beer aroma and flavor. I also changed the type of cheese in the recipe just because I wanted to try another flavor, and also because French cheeses can be quite pricey! So how exactly do you add BEER to a quiche recipe without making it soggy?
It’s simple. You concentrate the beer in a saucepan until almost all the liquid has evaporated. Better yet…simmer sweet carrots and onions in butter first, then add the beer until you have created the most unbelievable aroma wafting through your kitchen. Oh God, if I could make a candle out of that smell!!
I love testing different recipes for pie crusts. The all butter crust that serves as the crisp base of this recipe for quiche has a few key components that really help you to create a perfect pie crust every time. For this crust, I used butter as the only fat, and I added one egg white to help with binding. A touch of vodka in place of some of the water helps create steam and flaky layers. You can absolutely make pie crust by hand by rubbing your fingers through the butter and flour until tiny crumbs form. But I find the fastest and easiest way to make pie crust is with a food processor. A food processor can be pulsed only until all the ingredients start to come together in tiny pieces, keeping you from overworking the dough and making it tough. It takes just seconds to bring the dough together.
I mix the vodka and water together and place them in the freezer to get as cold as possible. Cut the butter into small pieces and place them in the freezer too for 10-15 minutes before mixing. Pulse the flour and butter together until it forms the small crumbs you see above. Then add the vodka/water mixture along with the egg white and pulse until it just starts to form a ball but isn’t totally formed.
Form them together with your hands and split into two equal disks and cover with plastic wrap in the fridge for one hour. You can freeze one for future use.
An hour will give your crust time to rest and get nice and cold again. Roll it out between sheets of plastic wrap. When it’s the size of the circle that you want, remove one side of the plastic wrap and invert onto a pie dish.
While your pie crust is resting in the fridge, sauté an onion and diced carrots over medium heat. When they are softened, add the beer and simmer for about 30 minutes or until almost all the liquid has evaporated.
You don’t have to worry about making fancy edges to the top of the crust. When baked, the quiche will have a nice flat top popping up above the filling. To fill your quiche, layer in the carrot, onion mixture, then the fontina cheese, the egg batter, then top with slices of black forest ham (which is totally optional).
Mix the vodka and water together and place in the freezer too. you can also place the food processor bowl or mixing bowl in the freezer or fridge to stay cold.
Add the butter, flour, and salt to the food processor or mixing bowl. Pulse until small pieces form. If doing by hand, press the butter and flour together between your fingers.
Pulse in the egg white and vodka/water mixture until it just starts to form a ball. Place the dough onto your counter, cut in half, and wrap the two pieces in plastic wrap. Freeze one disc for future use. Refrigerate one piece for at least one hour.
The dough can be made in advance and placed in the fridge for up to two days, or in the freezer for one month.
Over medium heat in a medium saucepan, sauté the onions and carrots in 2 Tbsp. butter until softened, about 8-10 minutes. Add the beer and simmer until almost all of the liquid has evaporated, about 30 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool.
Roll out your pie crust in between sheets of plastic wrap for easy rolling to the size of your pie shell. Remove one side of the plastic wrap and invert onto your pie shell. If your shell is too warm and tears apart, pop the crust in the pie shell inside the freezer for 10 minutes to firm it back up. The plastic wrap will remove easily without tearing this way.
Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the quiche is set in the center. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
You get a crispy chicken farro salad, and you get crispy chicken farro salad, everybody is going away with a crispy chicken farro salad!!!
Well, it might not be a new car, but it’s certainly an easy and delicious staple dinner that can easily be taken for leftovers and inhaled inside your car during your 20 minute lunch break.
Crispy chicken thighs, sautéed kale (in those yummy chicken juices), and tender and nutty farro dressed in balsamic vinegar make an exceptionally tasty meal any time of the year.
It’s a welcomed break from the sometimes monotonous steamed rice, especially when paired with crispy chicken. It cooks up in about 15 minutes (so the same amount of time as rice) and really soaks up the sauce for even more flavor.
My husband actually gets excited when I tell him I’m making a farro salad for dinner. The only time he gleefully eats a salad is when I make it for dinner and he is left with the choice to either go to bed hungry, or eat the damn salad.
However, he will happily make an exception for a salad with bleu cheese dressing, shredded cheddar cheese, and three slices of bacon sprinkled over the top. #saladnotsalad
Look, if you are a chicken breast lover, I totally feel you. I mean it tastes like chicken, so it’s good. On the downside, chicken breasts dry out really easily, and even top chefs consider it one of the harder proteins to master.
Chicken thighs are almost impossible to dry out. You pretty much have to burn them to a crisp for them to be dry. All that lovely dark meat contains more fat than chicken breasts, and the skins crisp up to make the best crispy cracklin’ treat that rivals bacon… yes I said bacon.
They are half the price of chicken breasts, and with all that extra fat (don’t worry, it cooks off), they fill you up. You really only need about two pieces per serving, unless you want to have leftovers the next day for lunch, which is what I did for this farro salad recipe.
Chicken thighs taste amazing on the grill too! Grill them with the skins on and top them on a Caesar Salad or serve them on the side with grilled vegetables.
After the chicken thighs are cooked and the fat has rendered, keep a little bit of the juices in the pan to sauté the kale.
I added a touch of white wine too, which is totally optional, but adds the subtle flavor of, well WINE.
Although I didn’t have any on hand, a tasty green sauce like arugula parsley pesto would be wonderful to slather on this dish. However, if you want to keep the calorie count lower, you really don’t need extra sauce since you have chicken juices, wine, and balsamic to round out the flavors.
Crispy chicken thighs, sautéed kale, and nutty farro blend together to make a scrumptious lunch or dinner. It's great as leftovers too!
Essence of Emeril seasoning blend for the chicken thighs (optional but pretty much the best seasoning blend that ever existed)
Heat an oven-safe pan like a cast iron skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Do not add any oil to the pan if you use chicken thighs with skins. The fat will render out once they start cooking and they will crisp up nicely and will be very moist. Season the chicken thighs with either salt and pepper or Emeril's essence (or your favorite chicken seasoning blend). Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and sauté for a few minutes until the skins are completely crispy. Flip and brown the other side really well for a few more minutes. Place in the oven to finish cooking. It should take about 10-15 more minutes.
While the chicken cooks, rinse the farro in a colander under cold water for a bit to remove some of the starch. Heat a saucepan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Sauté the farro for about one minute or until it starts to smell slightly nutty. Add the water and season with salt. Let the water come to a simmer and cover with a lid and turn the heat down to low. Simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the farro is tender but still has a bite. Remove from the pan, and drain the excess liquid from the farro. Add it to a bowl and dress it with salt and pepper and 2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar.
Remove the chicken from the oven when it's fully cooked and remove from the pan and set aside. Place the pan you cooked the chicken in on the stovetop and turn on a burner over medium heat. Remove all but 1-2 Tbsp. of the pan juices and sauté the kale, stirring frequently. After about two minutes when it's almost cooked, add the shallot and garlic and sauté stirring frequently for about 30 seconds only as you don't want to burn the garlic and shallot. Deglaze the pan with a touch of white wine or balsamic vinegar and stir until the liquid is evaporated. Season with salt and pepper and remove the kale from the pan.

202,115,201 | Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki has enjoyed several favorable notices from the Western press over the course of his political career.
TIME magazine once dubbed him one of the 100 people on Earth most ready to lead, and then-President Bill Clinton prominently name-dropped him in an interview with Peter Jennings as the living person he would most like to meet.
Polygamy is more or less acceptable in Kenya, but for the Christian convert and family man formerly known by the Christian name “Emilio Stanley,” persistent rumors of a second wife are bad press indeed.
Especially because his (first) wife gets totally loc’d out when these rumors are aired in her presence…
President Kibaki has been dogged by the suspicion that one of his political allies, Mary Wambui, is actually his baby mama and auxiliary squeeze.
It is not hard to decipher Wambui’s role in the Kibaki administration and the president’s life. It is not a secret that Mary Wambui is no ordinary woman or politician. She enjoys state security at her homes in Nairobi and Nyeri and represents Kibaki in Othaya functions.
The genesis of the latest first family soap opera is former Kabete MP Paul Muite’s reference to Kibaki’s “two wives” during the commemoration of the raid on Standard and KTN.
While Kenyans should give Kibaki the right to decide who he is married to, they cannot wait to for the time the first family takes Muite to court; if only for comical relief. Muite has since reiterated that he stands by his comments on Kibaki’s two wives.
So why the fury and wrath? The most common explanation is that the president does not want to be accused of bigamy, having had a church wedding with [wife] Lucy. Another is the protective natural instinct of a wife and mother out to protect the sanctity of her marriage and her children’s inheritance from the other woman and gold diggers.
Kenya’s famously hot-tempered first lady slapped a government official in front of dozens of dignitaries during an independence day event after he introduced her using the name of President Mwai Kibaki’s second – and unacknowledged – wife.
Hundreds of officials, including the president, vice president and diplomats, sat stunned as Lucy Kibaki was introduced as “first lady Mama Lucy Wambui”. Mary Wambui is widely believed to be the president’s second spouse, although his office had repeatedly denied this.
According to the Standard newspaper, Mrs Kibaki immediately rose from her seat on the dais “and briskly walked to the MC, whom she slapped across the face”. Security guards removed the official, who works in the office of the president, and a new master of ceremonies was found.
Cameramen and photographers covering the event were forced to delete their footage of the incident, which threatens to embarrass the president just two weeks before he seeks a second term in a tightly contested general election.
Mrs Kibaki, who is in her late 60s, has used her slap to good effect in the past. In 2005, she was incensed when her neighbour and tenant, the World Bank country director, held a late-night party that kept her awake.
When the Nation media group reported how she had marched into the party and demanded that the music stop, Mrs Kibaki besieged the newsroom in the early hours of the morning to protest at the coverage. She then slapped a Nation cameraman filming her tirade. She was sued for assault, but the attorney general dismissed the case.
Mrs Kibaki is especially touchy on the subject of Wambui, even though polygamy is legally and socially acceptable in Kenya.
During a New Year’s Eve party in 2003, the vice president, Moody Awori, raised a glass to Kibaki as the “second lady”, causing her to walk out of the state banquet. Awori later said it was a slip of the tongue.
The growing whispering campaign about the President’s secret second family finally forced the press-shy Kibaki to announce formally that he is a one-woman man:
“You know and I know and everybody else knows that I have only one dear wife, Lucy here … but the media keeps repeating about my having another wife or wives,” he said at his State House residence in Nairobi, flanked by his wife.
“I have gotten into this very foul mood after listening to some statement … I want to say quite frankly anyone who is bent on that course will see me in court. And we shall deal with him, no other way whatsoever,” he added, referring to one politician who had spoken about a second wife.
“You have been tormenting us. I don’t know what you get out of it,” said, before pointing at a cameraman from the private Kenya Television Network (KTN).
“I nearly came to your studio last night to attack you the way I did the Nation,” she added, referring to a previous incident where she stormed into a newsroom.
Well, obviously with his free-swinging wife about, President Kibaki has every reason in the world to deny his secret booty calls to the Wambui compound.
There’s also some weird controversy involving two Armenian dudes, the Artur brothers, causing a ruckus in Kenya (one blog says they “took Kenya by the storm“) before ultimately getting arrested and deported after holding customs officials at gunpoint. One of the Armenians was getting down with Mary Wambui’s daughter, who claims to be the daughter of President Kibaki. Needless to say, a connection with the Armenian scandal via an illegitimate daughter is not something that the President really wants to be a part of.
Also, there’s the fact that his wife is slapping the shit out of everyone and he surely wants to stay out of the reach of her vengeful palm.
However, as Political Kenya notes, the issue is not just hurt feelings but the more critical matters of succession and inheritance, both financial and political…
One interesting angle to the story is that the fight for Kibaki’s wealth is on. Wealth and inheritance are grave issues and for a wealthy aged man like Kibaki, interested parties try to position themselves early enough. A public declaration of who the probable heirs will be goes along way in securing rights to inheritance from would-be gold diggers. It is not clear to the general public what the Lucy family of four does for a living other than relying on daddy’s wealth and running opaque family businesses.
Another angle to the story is the battle royale expected in 2012 at the Othaya parliamentary seat where Kibaki has been an MP since 1974. A whole generation of leaders have been put on hold as Kibaki idolised Othaya politics. For once Othaya constituents will have a chance to test-drive new leadership material. Othaya constituency will definitely be a hotspot in 2012.
The Kibaki family will not want to fade into oblivion come 2012 and are strategising on how to keep the Kibaki political [clan] reigning. The eldest son, Jimmy Kibaki is being fronted as a heir to the parliamentary seat. There are however doubts that he will make it and a work around is being sought. Jimmy has already started being a guest of honour in many a fund-raising in the area, an area he is not well-known to visit but has to do so for political expediency. On a recent fundraiser he was quoted as saying: “Allow me to speak in English as I neither know Kikuyu or Kiswahili” which left many wondering how he will campaign come 2012. He went ahead to give a donation of Kshs 400,000 from his father and Kshs 60,000 from himself.
Another hurdle for Jimmy Kibaki and the Lucy first family has been the popularity of Mary Wambui as a possible political heir to the Kibaki political seat. During the constitutional debate of 2004-05, it was proposed that the president will not be an MP in the new constitutional dispensation. Othaya constituents toyed with the possibility of having a new MP if the proposal was adopted. Back then, the consensus was that Mary Wambui, was the rightful replacement then. This allegedly sparked a controversy within the first family to the extent that it was alleged Lucy offered to battle it out with Mary for the seat in such an eventuality. It is also alleged that this could have happened if Mary Wambui had gone for the Nyeri Town seat in 2007, the reason she allegedly was made to delay her political ambitions.
Talking to the Othaya constituents, the political tide for Othaya has since turned against the first family and any alleged relations to an extent that none of the first family members and supposed Kitchen cabinet operatives is expected to win a civic seat in the next election. The constituents are unhappy with the way their MP has handled their issues and talked down on them since he became president.
In order to contain the ambitious Narc Activist (now PNU Activist), another proposition will see Othaya split into three with the town area reserved for Jimmy Kibaki, the northern part set for Mary Wambui, who comes from the area, while the southern part set aside for the KTDA Nyeri region chairman and former Medical Supplies chairman Peter Kanyago.
The tricky bit is the impact of a Mary Wambui parliamentary career that has potential to cause more embarassment to the first family. What better ways to forestall such a possibility than to insist on who the members of the first family are?
Although this scandal is simply an amusing trifle to those of us in other countries who are not directly affected by Kenya’s governance, the blog Gukira offers a sobering reproach to President Kibaki and anyone who would rather laugh at the drama than get involved in Kenyan politics for the better:
As political repression continues to increase—an increasingly gagged press, brutalized activists, policemen turned into death-squads—our politicians make vague pronouncements about the future. In response to the UN report on the police death squads, for instance, Martha Karua promised us that plans are in motion. I could only wonder how many of us will be dead by the time those plans unfold.
In what is surely the most disappointing moment of his entire tenure as president, Mwai Kibaki faced the nation to tell us that he has “one wife.”
We are dying and being killed. We are being repressed and oppressed. We cannot even buy books in our bookstores. Our intellectual lives are being stifled. Our social lives circumscribed. And, in a strategy reminiscent of Moi’s time, some of the loudest voices can afford to be loud precisely because we live outside the country.
We citizens are as culpable in government mismanagement as our public servants. We have let ourselves be de-fanged and disempowered. We have stood by while our fellow citizen-activists are arrested and harassed. We have allowed ourselves to believe that our only option is to whisper and “lay low.” We have allowed ourselves to believe that we can complain, but that we also cannot change the system.
We are citizens. We outnumber the politicians. We even outnumber the police, no matter how much violence they use. And we need to stop letting fear and cowardice rule us.
If Kenya is to change we must change it. No one else will do it for us. And we need to set the timetable, not wait until the politicians tell us it is time for change.
We all know that Wambui lives around the corner — Secret Service guards her. When you are looking for a house, house agents tell you that’s one of the reasons the neighborhood is so safe (that and Internal Security Minister, George Saitoti, is her neighbor). She’s Kibaki’s wife — or she’s a damn lucky mistress. The neighborhood is one of the poshest in the city.
Anyway, the only thing I think you forgot to mention was that we’re pretty sure that Kibaki (and his crafty crew) stole the 2007 General Election which led to two months of civil strife, which many haven’t recovered from (think hundreds of thousands of people). I think that that’s a pretty important thing to mention now when outlining his biography. During the crisis, rumors abounded about how crazy Lucy was so protective of her husband that she had her son Jimmy shot when he asked his dad to step down in order to save the country (for the sake of your story it would be interesting were this true — but, it’s not. Jimmy’s fine.).
I tried to allude to the Kibaki clan’s wrongdoings with that last blog excerpt, but it definitely could have been more clearly noted.
Joyce Meyer writes “There are two kinds of people in the world: those who wait for something to happen and those who make things happen. God has called you to do great things for His Kingdom, don’t shy away from it.
You need to be intentional. You need to live life ON purpose. Don’t just wait around to see what everyone else is going to do & then follow the crowd. Stir yourself up, make a decision, & get going!” |
88,687,569 | The defining moment of Nanette Burstein’s documentary American Teen comes more than halfway through the film, when Megan, a popular blonde prone to mood swings, is arguing with a friend, an equally popular and equally blonde young woman who wants Megan to join her at a party. They’re sitting in Megan’s kitchen — well, Megan’s parents’ kitchen, at any rate — and having it out when the friend begins to casually remove her wireless microphone and roll up the cord around the battery box. She’s getting ready to storm out with a “Fuck this!” and a huffy exit, but before she can, she has to take off her mic, and she does so with a removed calm that belies the weirdness of the act. She’s not interested in making a big exit; her first priority is to make sure the microphone is carefully removed. It’s a subtle detail, but it shifts the scene’s focus, turning it from a spat between friends to one that must necessarily navigate the technological and mildly exploitative trappings required to film it in the first place. This is the whole point of American Teen, a film about a group of high school seniors in Indiana: Everything, even the private stuff, is done for show. That’s not to say the film is completely dishonest; there are, scattered throughout, the kind of alternately cringe-inducing, heartbreaking, and uplifting moments that perfectly reflect that moment of abject hell when you begin to really grow up. But they’re inextricably entwined with a fetishistic sense of self-disclosure that does more to reinforce the classic stereotypes of high schoolers than it does to open them up to broader and truer definitions. “You see us as you want to see us; in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions,” said the kids in John Hughes’ seminal The Breakfast Club. But while they meant it as a complaint, a battle cry against encroaching adulthood, Burstein seems to have viewed that line as a challenge to be met. And, sadly, meet it she does.
The film even begins with a nod to The Breakfast Club, as Hannah, one of the main characters, narrates about the first day of senior year, setting the stage for nine months’ worth of muddled drama. Incorporating interviews and sound bites from other students, including the central cast, Burstein quickly introduces Hannah, the artistic girl who doesn’t fit in with the conservative vibe of Warsaw, Indiana; Jake, the band geek struggling with acne and a deep need to get a girlfriend; Colin, the basketball star looking for a college scholarship; Megan, the affluent student council leader who sits perched atop the school’s “caste system”; and Mitch, another basketball player who will eventually cross paths with Hannah. If Mitch were a bad boy with an abusive father, you’d have modern-day replicas of Hughes’ caricatures; this is not necessarily a good thing. After that, Burstein begins the considerable task of charting the lives of these kids and their friends over the course of their final year of high school, and it turns out to be a blessing and a curse. On one hand, the story mostly writes itself, with everything from occasional obstacles like dances and championship games leading up to the high-stakes ending of college acceptance, graduation, and the false sense that you know what you’re doing with your life the moment you turn 18. But conversely, the film is a little too broadly focused: Trying to juggle the lives and futures of just five kids for 100 minutes is inherently going to mean skimping on depth, and that lack of introspection on behalf of the filmmaker starts to show up before too long. American Teen wants to play like a novelistic narrative, but it winds up feeling like a series of anecdotes pinned together by a consistency of cast and location.
Burstein’s biggest problem is her apparent unwillingness to provide context to situations that without it become overly melodramatic or archetypal. For instance, Colin is a bright kid and good ball player whose folks can’t afford to send him to college unless he lands a substantial scholarship. That kind of pressured storyline is nothing new in film or real life, right down to Colin’s lamenting that “if we don’t do well, the community’s gonna go nuts,” but things get even tougher when Colin’s dad tells him that without a scholarship, the boy is headed for the Army or Navy or somebody to foot the bill for a university education. It’s a weird escalation of the story made even more perplexing by the fact that Burstein offers no other evidence for the choice facing Colin: no discussion of the family’s income beyond Colin’s father’s classification that they’re “comfortable but not wealthy”; no examination of the family’s debt or employment issues, if any; basically no indication that this is anything other than a hyperserious threat without much history to give it sense. Then there’s Colin’s dad, whose job status is never discussed but who, just when the story couldn’t get what-the-fuckier, is seen more than once performing as an Elvis impersonator for groups of senior citizens. Is this how he earns a living? Is this a hobby? What’s going on? These are questions that even a second-rate fictional narrative would answer, but Burstein never says, and in doing so makes it clear that she’s just out to make a vaguely truthful, largely staged video essay about a group of kids who are likely more emotionally complex than the film can convey.
As the year rolls on, the central characters fall in and out of love, tumbling through the painful and confusing relationships that make for the most convincing moments of the film. Hannah gets her heart broken and loses the confidence she once had, struggling to understand why someone she loved could discard her, and it’s wrenching to see someone so young go through that for the first time; you want to tell her it gets easier, but then, you don’t want to lie to her, either. Jake is similarly lovelorn, a zit-laden kid who plays in the marching band, plays a lot of video games, and is filled with a self-loathing that borders on pity. The scene where he decided to ask out a freshman in the band by going to her house with red roses is achingly painful, and it’s these observations of a weird kid trying and failing to figure out life that require the least amount of polish or staging from Burstein. But even those moments are somehow nothing more than the expected painful scenes that are “supposed” to happen with the “geek.” What’s more, you’d think that Burstein, free from the bonds of network TV or some other dampening outlet, would use the film to at least go into some depth on the sexual battlefield teens find themselves walking, but nothing doing. This is a PG-13 documentary, and aside from one character’s post-coital mention of “fooling around,” no one even talks about sex. In this version of the world, it doesn’t exist.
Burstein’s shallowness shows in other areas, too. It comes as no surprise that Megan, prone to mood swings, does some terribly mean things to other girls at school, particularly a girl who starts spending time with a boy Megan knows and won’t admit to herself that she likes. Megan’s attack on the girl is devastating, the kind of reputation-ruining campaign that makes your jaw drop, but Megan’s never asked about feeling remorse, and the event disappears once the story plays out, just one more fading memory from high school. It would have been nice if Burstein had attempted to capture Megan on a larger scale, instead of the eventual character sketch she creates of a rich girl with a family tragedy fueling her occasional swings. It just feels so rote, so happy to reinforce the stereotypes — rich girl, athletic boy, geeky kid — that Burstein could have easily exploded if she’d just dug a little deeper.
But maybe I’m the one that’s digging too deep. I’d hoped that the film would be the kind of touching and enlightening look at a difficult time in all our lives, a time that’s already receding for me but still not too far gone. But American Teen is ultimately a silent ode to the first real generation to grow up steeped in reality TV and social networking, both of which familiarize users with a surreal version of life even while encouraging them to construct personas suitable for chatting. The kids in American Teen rely heavily on online communication and text messaging — one guy even has the balls to dump a girlfriend that way — but Burstein is regrettably quiet on what role that level of interpersonal communication plays in the way the kids develop, mature, and spend time with each other. The film is exploitive to the degree that it sidesteps issues of staged B-roll and acontextual situations played for broad pathos, but on the other hand, these kids have been posing all their lives. They’ve been practicing for the act of being filmed without even knowing it, which in some ways makes American Teen one of the more distressingly real documentaries in a long time.

213,845,620 | Last week, I wrote an article about how keynote speaker Martin Leach presented a convincing argument to Bio-IT World Conference 2012 attendees here in Boston as to why the biggest obstacle facing the health and life sciences industry in the age of "big-data" is not one of storage, but of computing.
Accessibility, analysis, and integration are the sole true bugaboos, says Leach, making storage issues but a petty distraction when it comes to genomics and others who work with intensive bioinformatics.
Robert Bjornson is director of IT at the Yale Center for Genome Analysis (YCGA). "We spend almost no time thinking about computing. We spend all of our time thinking about storage," told Bjornson to a room of a few dozen conference attendees.
In a presentation about IT infrastructure and hardware, Bjornson talked about the technological challenges YCGA and similar organizations face.
Even Leach does not dispute this fact of IT life. The Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, where Leach is CIO, boasts the largest genomic datacenter in the world, with over 10 petabytes of data on spinning disks -- and every day to day-and-a-half, one of those disks fails.
"When you have 1,000 drives, expect failure," confirms Bjornson, by way of advice. What's more, backing up all of a genomics organization's data -- which can number in the petabytes -- just isn't practical.
Cost is also a factor (Moore's Law notwithstanding) for some customers, says Bjornson -- at least psychologically. Despite the price of storage falling, many enterprise and high-level organizational customers maintain a consumer market perspective. "I can't tell you how many times people have said, 'Why does this cost $1,000 a terabyte?' " says Bjornson, relating laughable characterizations of customers who protest that hard drives at Best Buy can go for about $65 per terabyte.
Big-data customers may be their own worst enemy in more ways than one. YCGA's customers use YCGA's storage and YCGA's cluster. Cautions Bjornson, however, "It's risky to let customers into the factory." They can crash the login node. They can overload the storage. They can "do any one of a number of things that people do when they get the chance," Bjornson says, and any of those things can interfere with their data management and data analysis.
To be fair, this is an example of a risk that falls under both the "storage" and the "accessibility" umbrellas -- and there are others.
For instance, Bjornson himself concedes that search is a huge problem in big data genomics, as he presents a slide that reads, " 'Find' does not work on 2PB on Storage." Genome sequencing, of course, is a data-intensive field -- yet the field of genomics lacks a truly effective data identification solution ("a Google search for data," as Leach called it on Tuesday), says Bjornson. "We don't have it. We really need it."
Both sides of the accessibility vs. storage discussion raise very valid points -- and have very real concerns. Alas, the hardware presentation series here at Bio-IT has been somewhat sparsely attended compared to other sessions. Conversely, so many Bio-IT attendees clamored to see the opening keynote speeches on Tuesday that dozens were relegated to an overflow room with a live video feed.
With so many of the attendees here having heard only Leach's advocacy for accessibility, arguments like Bjornson's about the importance of storage seem to have become lost in the din of the conference -- and therefore, ironically, much less accessible.
@white.space, I remember the old statement, "Nature abhors an empty horizontal surface." I think that we could also say that, "Nature abhors an un-filled storage bit," and we'd be just as correct. I've watched storage requirements grow exponentially during the last 30 years -- I can hardly wait for the day when the desktop petabyte is commonplace!
Joe, any potential outcomes for bioinformatics collaborative projects, for drug discovery. I heard that there are some proposals for TB, HIV and cancer drug discovery.
Taimoor, we had similar storage constrains for the Bio informatics projects and it's a collaborative project. What we had done is we formed a virtual group and create some common repository, where we kept all the datas. So those who are interested can access the data at any point of time, irrespective of location through net. This can help to avoid storing the same data at multiple locations.
Incidentally, this is why Netflix was pretty unaffected by the huge AWS cloud outage a year ago even though they're a major AWS customer -- because they were smart enough as an organization that handles enormous amounts of data to have so many redundancies that they could handle an outage. It was the little guys who relied completely but without backups on the cloud who were screwed for the following days.
Very nice breakdown, zerox, and rather one of the points I was going for. Both concerns ought be heard and addressed for real progress.
A recurring theme at the Conference was the unsuitability of the public cloud for a lot of bioinformatics work -- especially in the field of genomics -- because of the TREMENDOUS amounts of data. Far too much to be sending across public cloud data lines.
And, of course, there are issues with proprietary data, HIPAA, and other confidentiality (this one's for you, Sara!) bugaboos.
This reminds me of a discussion from a Dell-sponsored Webinar E2 hosted quite some time back in which the speakers discussed how many IT Departments are most concerned with just keeping the lights on -- more than anything else.
Perhaps that is another part of YCGA's struggle. Sure, better integration and accessibility would be nice, but it's a huge effort just to deal with what they have.
Absolutely! You could have posters and bumper stickers with that adage! I bet you have a Dropbox, and a Google Drive account (at the very least!), and several external hard drives filled with stuff.. :) And still wish there was more. The library of Congress has roughly 20Tb worth of stuff, and sometimes I wish I had as much space!
@Skr2011- And the opposite seems to be true, too. If we find we have some extra space, someone is going to come up with something to fill that space.
"Passwords are dead," a Google information security manager decreed at last month's TechCrunch Disrupt. Other pundits have come to the same conclusion. However, these reports are greatly ...

We always hear about "Big" data, but a real issue in cloud storage is not just bigness but also persistence. A large data model is less complicated than a big application repository that somehow needs to be accessed. The Hadoop send-program-to-data model may be the answer.
EMC's Project Lightning has matured into a product set, and it's important, less because it has new features or capabilities in storage technology and management, than because it may package the state of the art in a way more businesses can deploy.
Oracle's release of a Hadoop appliance for Big Data may be a signal that we're shifting to database appliances.
We're at the beginning of a cloud-driven revolution in storage, but Oracle's quarter shows that enterprises are hunkering down on old concepts because they're afraid of the costs in the near term.
Untrained end users, clueless central IT staff, and expensive mobile devices are a worrisome combination for healthcare CIOs.

When done right, your personal brand can help you showcase your strengths, build credibility and stand out from the competition — all essentials for lasting growth and success.
Now, you hopefully won't ever be guilty of a major crime or a racist tweet, but chances are, you're still doing things that hurt your personal brand. In fact, many budding entrepreneurs hurt their brand without even realizing it. Don't let these habits derail your chances for success.
Why do you want to build your personal brand? It's an essential question to consider as you define your voice and goals. Far too many people start trying to build their personal brand with the vague goal of wanting to "become an influencer." All too often, this results in a messy situation where you try to be all things to all people.
Building a personal brand will obviously require a fair amount of self-promotion. But, if you're an endless self-promoter (especially online), you'll have a hard time gaining much of an audience. Too much self-promotion, and you'll be just another bland voice lost in the advertising mix.
Some experts recommend that you only use 10 percent of your posts (or conversations) to self-promote. With the rest of your time, highlight interesting facts or industry news through social media and blogging, while still sharing your perspective.
You're super enthusiastic about blockchain technology? That's great — but there are countless others who are just as ambitious and competent as you. Emphasizing your education and past work experience isn't a bad thing — it's often necessary to start building credibility. But, in most industries, this isn't going to set you apart.
These days, most influencers are able to accrue a large following through blogging and social media. It can be tempting to think you're following in their footsteps when you do these same activities. But, old-fashioned, face-to-face interactions still provide a lot of value — and if you ignore these, you will miss out on valuable opportunities to build your personal brand.
Networking events and conferences are a great way to build new relationships, including those that could help you further your career goals. Even volunteering for a local public speaking event can give you the opportunity to demonstrate what makes you unique. If your relationships exist entirely online, you won't make nearly as strong of a lasting impression.
Startup founders often put so much focus on building their brand's influence that they fail to fully distinguish their personal brand. You and your company are not the same entity — don't mistake building your startup for personal branding. If you leave the company behind, those branding efforts won't carry over to your next endeavor.
As Ben Larcey, co-founder of Store Kit has explained, "It's very hard to build your personal brand if you are constantly tied to your company's marketing. Blogging on your company website or being the voice of your company's social media profiles can be good for your business, but if you are serious about building a brand built around you, then you need to take steps to separate your business and personal brand. A simple website with an 'About' page and a blog is all you need to get started."
This can easily occur with your personal brand if you're not careful. While you may not be promising your followers a new product, they still have certain expectations from you as you build your online influence.
For example, you might tell your followers that you'll have a new blog post for them every week. But, what happens when you miss a week? Two? As you fail to live up to your promises, you'll lose the trust of your target audience. As a result, you'll lose followers and influence, perhaps permanently undermining your personal brand.
This is especially true of those hoping to become thought leaders in their niche. But, if you've spent any time on the internet, you know just how easy it can be to get sidetracked in a controversial debate. It's better to stay away from these touchy subjects.
As personal branding consultant Mel Carson notes, "Weighing in might make you feel better today, but what are the long-term ramifications for your personal brand? If you are entering a joint venture five years from now, for example, and someone drags up your Twitter posts from this week, will there be a negative impact on your brand? If you ran for office 10 years from now, would your social activity be an issue?"
Consistency is essential when developing a marketing strategy for a company — shouldn't you be just as consistent when developing your personal brand? Without consistent messaging and actions, you lose a sense of identity. Worse yet, you can easily lose credibility and trust.
Just like you would create and circulate a brand guide to ensure consistent brand messaging, so too should you focus on maintaining an identity in your voice, actions and unique value propositions. Doing so will prove your professionalism and authenticity and help you earn the trust of others.
As you learn to recognize these bad habits and take steps to correct them, you'll be able to build a strong personal brand that helps you achieve your personal and professional goals.
You may not attain the type of star power that gets the paparazzi to track your every move, but you will have something even more valuable: strong relationships with customers and coworkers that ensure you'll have lasting success in the years ahead.

These days the entrepreneurial dream is to build a company that hits one million in revenue without employees or much if any fixed overhead.
Of course the margins will still vary greatly depending on what type of company it is. Does it sell a purely digital products such as apps, software, or educational content? The margins here can be exceptionally high. Does it sell a physical product which must be made first from parts and with labor and then stored somewhere until sold? The margins here can be in line with those of a typical brick and mortar business.

Explanation: Traveling at high velocity along an extreme hyperbolic orbit and making a hairpin turn as it swung past the Sun, the now designated A/2017 U1 is the first known small body from interstellar space. A point of light centered in this 5 minute exposure recorded with the William Herschel Telescope in the Canary Islands on October 28, the interstellar visitor is asteroid-like with no signs of cometary activity. Faint background stars appear streaked because the massive 4.2 meter diameter telescope is tracking the rapidly moving A/2017 U1 in the field of view. Astronomer Rob Weryk (IfA) first recognized the moving object in nightly Pan-STARRS sky survey data on October 19. A/2017 is presently outbound, never to return to the Solar System, and already only visible from planet Earth in large optical telescopes. Though an interstellar origin has been established based on its orbit, it is still unknown how long the object could have drifted among the stars of the Milky Way. But its interstellar cruise speed would be about 26 kilometers per second. By comparison humanity's Voyager 1 spacecraft travels about 17 kilometers per second through interstellar space.

They have followed this up by making the NAEP Educational Procurement Journal more successful than ever.
From the beginning of the Ba'th regime in 1968 to the end of the Iran-Iraq war in 1988, Iraq was the Soviet Union's most important ally in the Middle East. Haim Shemesh explores the evolution of this Soviet-Iraqi relationship - one that Moscow often exploited - concentrating on the impact of the 1969-1975 and 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq conflicts on the fluctuations in Soviet-Iraqi ties and also examining other issues relevant to the alliance: the Iraqi communist party, the Kurdish problem, and developments in the Arab East, including the Arab-Israeli dispute. Shemesh's conclusions, based on comparative analyses of Soviet, Arab and Western sources, contribute to a better understanding of not only Soviet-Middle Eastern relations, but also Soviet-Third World relations in general.

172,891,209 | CEFA believes that if pilots can debrief their own performance in confidence, with instrument and outside views, then every flight becomes a training flight.
Colmar, France-based CEFA Aviation (Stand 378) has developed a new product for iPads that will allow pilots to review their detailed flight profiles in confidence and learn from them. The company’s main product Flight Animation System (FAS) is already in use with airline flight data management (FDM) departments worldwide and was developed by company founder and CEO Dominique Mineo after he left Switzerland’s Crossair in 2000.
According to Mineo, the new product—CEFA AMS (Aviation Mobile Services)—will help address issues with “loss of piloting skills due to automation,” something even the latest flight simulators don’t really help to address.
He said AMS takes evidence-based training a step further; the fact the company’s launch customer for AMS is All Nippon Airlines (ANA) of Japan (with 3,000 pilots using it since last March) goes a long way to explaining where it fits in. Loss of face in Japanese culture can, more than in other cultures, prevent pilots from admitting mistakes. “The idea is to have a better, individualized briefing tool," Mineo said.
Experience with ANA has shown how well AMS works, said Mineo, and how much it can add compared to just simulator recurrent checks. “To improve training, you’d need more simulator time with the greater costs involved,” he said.
AMS allows pilots to review every flight with instrument and external views, reflect on it and correct anything that they know to be wrong. Crews are able to discuss flights afterwards, giving themselves a post-flight briefing even If it’s in the bar afterwards. “This also increases acceptance of any failures,” compared with an instructor telling a pilot, said Mineo. He noted that NASA led the way in approaching this form of evidence-based training. “Every flight can become a potential training event,” he said, pointing out that simply relying on memory, might also be inaccurate.
Mineo said that for most operators, “getting to review FDM data can be a long process, following a request from a pilot. This is the first self-improvement tool. Nothing else exists on the market” to allow pilots to review their flights in such detail.
The iPad has to be connected to the Internet so that it can take the flight data from the Cloud, but the download happens straight after a flight so it can be reviewed as soon as the pilot(s) want, in the cockpit, in the bar, or back at home in privacy.
It took seven months to put the system in place with ANA, said Mineo. It is also set up to provide video, and ANA pilots have already “created tens of thousands of videos” they have reviewed after flights, said Mineo. “All videos are de-identified and encrypted,” added Mineo. “Pilots can view it together as a team if they wish. The idea is to have a mirror. They can play it back at various speeds and compare.”
He added, “ANA had an idea: to bring a video of their flight to each pilot. I said I have had the same idea.” So the next step, having completed implementation with ANA, is to seek other customers by promoting AMS at shows such as the Dubai Air Show.
Price depends on the an operator's size (it is mainly aimed at airlines at present). There is an initial fee and a fee per flight. “We will do a case-by-case price for existing [FAS] customers,” said Mineo, “but it is a separate product." He said savings for an operator could be huge, but is intangible, noting that avoiding tail strikes and other anomalous flight situations, such as hard landings, through a well-trained pilot workforce would save maintenance costs, preserve aircraft in good condition and help to avoid their being removed from service for repairs.
Experience with ANA has shown that “one out of five takeoffs has been watched by a pilot, and every second landing. And there is not the stigma of the pilot having to ask to review something.” An internal survey by ANA’s flight operations department showed that 90 percent of its pilots said it was a good addition.
Mineo pointed out another advantage: the flight operations department can check how many videos have been requested for a particular airport. He used Runway 05 at Geneva as an example. “It’s a proactive way to see that there might be something tricky, such as a hill where northerly wind speed increases on short final. Then you can put it in the simulator and re-create the threat.” The airline cannot see the identity of the pilots who flew the approaches.
Mineo said, however, that “it’s good to have a neutral advisor available to speak with a pilot who has a concern."
He concluded by saying airlines tell their pilots they need to put the autopilot on “so they don’t make an error,” aware that they are getting less manual flying, so errors could be more likely. “This creates a downward spiral…it’s a crazy situation.”
CEFA is due to participate in a round table on automation at the GATE (Gulf Aviation Training Event), taking place on the second day of the Dubai Air Show (Monday, November 13). A “White Paper” titled “The Benefits of Flight Data Animation: An Airlines Perspective” is available for download on CEFA’s website. It was produced in conjunction with Rick Adams of AeroPerspectives.

Donald Trump On Orlando Shooting: Renews Call For Muslim Immigration Ban, Attacks Hillary Clinton "The only reason the killer was in America in the first place is because we allowed his family to come here," Donald Trump said on Monday.

Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump speaks at St. Anselm College in Manchester, N.H., on Monday.
Responding to the Orlando shootings in a New Hampshire speech Monday, presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump used the appearance to expand on his previous call to temporarily ban all Muslims from immigrating to the United States.
"The only reason the killer was in America in the first place is because we allowed his family to come here," Trump said. "That is a fact, and a fact we need to talk about."
That policy proposal, one of the main planks of Trump's campaign, would not have stopped Omar Mateen, the man allegedly responsible for the deadliest mass shooting in United States history. Mateen was born in New York City and was a U.S. citizen.
Trump's proposed temporary ban on Muslim immigration would also have not affected one of the two perpetrators of the December 2015 mass shooting in San Bernardino. Syed Farook was born in the United States, although his wife, Tashfeen Malik, was born in Pakistan.
"I called for a ban after San Bernardino and it was met with great scorn and anger," Trump said, before appearing to change the terms of his proposal. "When I am elected, I will suspend immigration from areas of the world when there is a proven history of terrorism against the United States, Europe, or our allies, until we understand how to end these threats."
Trump also criticized "Muslim communities," as he put it, for failing to tell law enforcement agencies about potential terrorist threats.
"They have to work with us," Trump said. "They know what's going on. They know that [Mateen] was bad. They knew the people in San Bernardino were bad. But you know what, they didn't turn them in. and we had death and destruction."
Trump's speech came shortly after his fall opponent, presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, delivered her own address responding to the Orlando shootings. In her speech Clinton did not name Trump himself but spoke out against "inflammatory anti-Muslim rhetoric."
Referencing the days after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, Clinton recalled President George W. Bush's visit to a Muslim community center. "To anyone who wanted to take out their anger on our Muslim neighbors and fellow citizens, he said, that would not and should not stand in America."
Trump repeatedly criticized existing immigration policies as dangerous and ineffective. "Our government has been admitting ever-growing numbers [of Middle Eastern immigrants], year after year, without any effective plan for our security."
Trump said that allowing more Syrian refugees to enter the United States "could be a better, bigger version of the legendary Trojan horse."
In fact, as NPR reported in the wake of last year's Paris terrorist attacks, screening for refugees is a lengthy process that can take up to two years to complete.
A bus in Washington, D.C., displays an advertisement for a female condom in July 2010. To encourage their use, community groups distributed more than 500,000 of the female condoms, flexible pouches that are wider than a male condom but similar in length, during instruction sessions at beauty salons, barber shops, churches and restaurants.

Keri, my husband had those in the basment for years and I bought them up to use as tables. Also they are great for storing things inside. They just needed a little love.
What a gold mine you found in your basement and on the farm! Love how you repurposed them for your porch and home! Thanks for sharing!!!
What a great idea Mary - I love the grey one - understated and a little bit funky. You are so clever with all the things you revamp and bring back to life x
Leanne it's either upcycle them or throw them away, and you know I can't bear to do that. Thanks for the visit.
I love the different styles of decoration that you painted on your olive oil barrels. They make great little side tables for porch, patio, or lawn.
They are big and sturdy. Carol my balcony is very windy so these really stand up to all the blowing.
I saw your link at the Over The Moon party and thought I'd seen all your posts but apparently this must've been before I discovered your blog. What a great idea to paint old olive barrels and use them as side tables on your balcony - so pretty! Now I can only imagine you hauling this up from your basement, grunting and groaning the whole way up. What us DIYers will do for a project. Pinned :)
Yep Marie, I was a lot slimmer back then. I actually used to do projects instead of sit in front of the computer all day. Lol!
These barrels look so cool, I love you classy new grey one but I also love the flowers on your earlier work! What a great lesson in using what you have, thanks for sharing with us at #HandmadeMonday
Mary these are so cute! It totally depends on what your color scheme is now. The gray and white is gorgeous, but I also love color!
I love the idea of taking an item and recreating it into another use. The barrels sure do look elegant after you worked your magic.
Both olive barrels are really pretty, I love the grey one , but I live the flowers on the other one too. Makes for nice little tables for the patio.
That;s exactly what I use them for Linda. And I use them to store cardboard and paper for burning in the fireplace in the winter.
I am a HUGE fan of the fleur de lis! They turned into great outdoor tables/storage. Thanks for sharing at Vintage Charm! xo Kathleen|Our Hopeful Home
Thank you Lina. I also use them for storage so they serve a double function. Those repurposes are the best.
What a fabulous repurpose of these old olive oil buckets Mary! I love the colours that you chose and that they are great little storage places!
Sam they are now pretty and practical. I store all my old newspapers and cardboard in there to use in the wintertime as fire starters.
I love how you used them on your balcony as end tables! Such a smart idea! Thanks for sharing at The Gathering Place!
Thanks Dara, it was certainly better than having them sitting in the basement or the farm. Now they are useful and happy!
Mary....such a great repurpose. I love the color you chose and the stenciled image too. Thanks for sharing with us at Waste Not Wednesday. Hope to see more from you.
Thank you Denise. These poor barrels were going to waste and I'm really glad I got to reuse them again.
I love the vintage olive oil barrels too Mary! Looks like they make great end tables. I say leave them as is. I've always loved the funky look. Why make them sophisticated? What do you store in them now?
Florence I like them as is too. I have been storing newspapers and cardboard that we use to start fires in the fireplace in the winter.
The Birds of a Feather is a cotton tutu dress which features a embellished bodice with beads, a tulle skirt with cotton lining and adjustable straps.
The disco-fueled interactive dance party known as The Donkey Show, very loosely inspired by Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, puts you smack in the middle of the action in a funky lounge setting. Featuring two full bars and a dance floor, the Diane Paulus-created wonderland was inspired by Studio 54 in its heyday, when celebrities and art icons would mix and mingle with kids from Queens, and the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack would be shaking the speakers. While you and the rest of the audience drinks, dances to disco classics or just checks out the action, the motley crew of characters in this glammed-up, sex-fueled version of Shakespeare's play re-enact the hilariously chaotic tale of a magic elixir that wreaks havoc at the nightclub. But it's mostly just a cool boogie-filled bash.

220,042,509 | Stress and psoriasis can go hand-in-hand. For some people, stress can trigger a psoriasis flare-up, and the outbreaks themselves can be stressful. “Psoriasis is unpredictable,” says Madelyn Petrow-Cohen, who has moderate psoriasis and is a licensed clinical social worker and therapist in New York and New Jersey. “You can do something one time and have it work to clear your skin. But maybe then it doesn’t work the next time, which stresses people out; psoriasis affects how you feel and look, which can be frustrating.”
Doctors encourage people with psoriasis to avoid stress, especially because it can impact other potential health risks, including heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Nehal N. Mehta, MD, director of inflammatory risk at University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, specializes in psoriasis care and recommends that his patients do yoga or meditate, or take 20 minutes of quiet time to help manage stress. Here are a few other suggestions on how to help a loved one with psoriasis minimize stress:
Help your loved one get great care. “People don’t necessarily get the best treatment for psoriasis, which can bring on stress,” says Julie Nelligan, a clinical psychologist in private practice who specializes in health psychology in Portland, OR. “Look for a dermatologist who is knowledgeable about psoriasis, connects with you and is helpful.” Help your loved one further by finding others who can provide referrals and offer to go with them to their doctors' appointments. Assure them that you will help continue the doctor search until, together, you find the right provider—and treatment.
Tell your loved one to say, “No.” Have your loved one reevaluate activities to determine if it's possible to eliminate any extra obligations that are causing stress, such as chairing an event or relandscaping the yard. Then, help make changes to lighten the load. Eliminating big tasks (or just renegotiating their scope) can allow a person with psoriasis to regain valuable free time and reduce stress levels, says Nelligan.
Avoid bad habits. Stress can prompt some people to indulge in alcohol, drugs, cigarettes and unhealthy foods, says Nelligan. Encourage your loved one to stick to a healthy routine (getting lots of rest and eating right) and avoid being too sedentary. Refraining from unhealthy behavior during stressful times can help prevent other health problems such as heart disease and depression—two diseases linked to psoriasis.
Provide support. If you think your loved one needs more emotional support than you can provide, suggest professional psoriasis support groups or one-on-one therapy, says Petrow-Cohen.
Emphasize the positive in your loved one. Problems arise when one’s self-esteem becomes intertwined with psoriasis. Give your loved one a boost with reminders that everyone deserves happiness. “Don’t let psoriasis rob someone you care about of happiness,” says Petrow-Cohen. “It is possible to embrace life.”

During your pregnancy, your breasts will undergo certain changes whether or not you intend to breastfeed. Some women experience a period of breast tenderness, and many notice breast enlargement. Women with any size or shape of breasts can successfully breastfeed. There are several things you can do to prepare yourself and your body for these changes and for breastfeeding.
Towards the end of your pregnancy, you may experience some leakage of colostrum (the first type of milk your body makes). The following is a list of recommendations that we feel will best help you to prepare for breastfeeding before the baby is born.
Create a supportive environment. While choosing an obstetrician, pediatrician, nurse practitioner, or family practitioner is important for many reasons, be sure that the one you choose is supportive of and enthusiastic about your choice to breastfeed and will be able to answer your questions. Talk with the doctor about your plans to breastfeed. When you decide to nurse you should tell your healthcare provider so that he or she does not give you medication to stop the milk production is your breasts.
You should also ask your healthcare physician to put you in contact with a group or at least give you some information on how to breastfeed. That way when the time comes you will already know what to expect.
Educate yourself. While breastfeeding is supposed to be one of the most natural things a mother can do, that doesn’t mean that it always comes naturally. Any woman planning to breast-feed for the first time can benefit from reading about breastfeeding, taking birthing classes that teach breastfeeding techniques (especially when first starting), and making sure that they receive care and will deliver in an environment supportive of breastfeeding. Educate yourself about the risks involved in the use of infant formulas, artificial nipples, nipple shields and pacifiers.
Know how often to expect your baby to breastfeed and how to tell if your baby is getting enough milk.
In the past, mothers were recommended to “toughen up” the nipples in preparation for nursing, many experts now agree that this is not necessary and may cause uterine contractions that can stress the baby. Also you should avoid use of soaps and other irritating agents on your nipples during pregnancy.
Flat or inverted nipples. Some women have nipples that do not stick out, or even pull in at the center despite stimulation. Women with flat or inverted nipples can breastfeed successfully even if nothing is done about them during pregnancy. However, there are some very simple interventions that include the use of breast shields or a simple massage technique (called the Hoffman Technique) that can help prevent unnecessary frustration with breastfeeding when the baby is born. If you suspect that you have inverted nipples, check with your health care provider.
Buying bras. If your breasts enlarge during pregnancy, do not hesitate to buy bras with larger cup sizes. Remember that comfort is as important as support, and be aware that your breast size may continue to increase as your milk comes in once your baby is born and you begin nursing. For this reason, limit the number of nursing bras you buy towards the end of your pregnancy to just 2 or 3 until you have begun nursing and determine which bra is most comfortable.
Purchase nightgowns that are convenient for breastfeeding and clothing that is conducive to discreet nursing.
Establish one or more convenient “breastfeeding corners” which have a comfortable chair, footstool, extra pillows and table.
Your breastmilk is an amazing, precious and complex liquid. To date researchers estimate that there are over 200 hundred different components that make up human breastmilk.
Your breastmilk is constantly changing to meet your baby’s needs. It literally changes from feed to feed, from day to day, from week to week. The best way to see this is to look at the colour of your breastmilk and you will see that it even changes colour, from shades of cream , to white, to a blue-ish tinge, sometimes even green-ish tinge!
Your breastmilk is unique to you and your baby – it is the very definition of exclusive. Many of the wonderful components of human breast milk cannot be replicated in artificial milk.
Your breastmilk is the perfect food for your baby – the perfect match for your baby. In fact, it matches more than 50% of your baby’s genetic material (of course! because the baby is 50% you!)
Your first milk (colostrum) is fantastic for protecting the vulnerable baby from bacteria and possible infections once it is outside of the womb. Breastmilk has very high immunoglobulins, white cells and lactoferrin which put a protective seal along the intestines to proctect the baby from bacteria. These and many other infection fighting properties are present in breastmilk every time you feed your baby.
Your colostum also has high levels of a pain-relieving hormone called beta-endorphin. One purpose of this hormone is to help the baby recover from the stress and discomfort of the birth.
Every time you breastfeed your body produces the hormone oxytocin to help you feel calm and connected to your baby. Your baby also receives some of this hormone.
Many of the components of your breastmilk do more than one job. For example alpha-lactalbumin which is a protein also organizes milk supply and prevents infection by killing bacteria and can also kill cancer cells when placed with them in a test tube. Alpha-lactalbumin is not found in artificial milk.
Breastfeeding is more than the sum of its’ parts and breastmilk is more than superior nutrition. For both mother and baby breastfeeding is also the enjoyable experience of connection, nurture and love. |
16,046,917 | It seems that New Zealand, along with many other countries, is home to spiders partial to a fish dinner. In a first of its kind study into fish predation by spiders, a pair of researchers from Australia and Switzerland found that New Zealand’s Dolomedes dondalei was capable of catching little fish and indeed did so in laboratory experiments.
Intrigued by anecdotal evidence of fish hunting by spiders, arachnologists Dr Martin Nyffeler, University of Basel, and Dr Bradley Pusey, University of Western Australia, undertook a systematic review of spiders around the world. They compiled evidence from more than 80 reports, published and unpublished, of fish predation and hunted for photos only shared online. They found that spiders from at least five different families prey on fish in the wild, using powerful neurotoxins and enzymes to kill and digest fish even larger than they are (captured fish were on average 2.2 times longer than the spiders hunting them). Fish-grabbing arachnids were observed at the fringes of shallow freshwater streams, rivers, lakes, ponds, swamps and fens – making the occurrence of this type of predation far more widespread than previously imagined and identifying that fish are of substantial nutritional importance to these types of spiders.
In their published paper, the pair writes that, “… fish predation by semi-aquatic spiders is geographically widespread, occurring on all continents except Antarctica”.
Despite the geographical spread, fish predation is more common in warmer areas. Dr Nyffeler suggests that this might be because warmer water carries less oxygen, forcing the fish to live nearer the surface.
The researchers write that fish dinners typically range from 2–6 cm in length, with the species of fish hunted usually among the most commonly occurring in their respective geographic area, such as mosquitofish in the southeastern USA, fish of the order Characiformes in the Neotropics (mostly South and Central America and southern Florida), killifish in Central and West Africa as well as Australian native fish.
“Naturally occurring fish predation has been witnessed in more than a dozen spider species from the superfamily Lycosoidea, in two species of the superfamily Ctenoidea and in one species of the superfamily Corinnoidea.”
However, over three-quarters of the compiled evidence reported on fish predation is by pisaurid spiders of the genera Dolomedes and Nilus. This category includes New Zealand’s Dolomedes dondalei, the largest of the three species of Dolomedes native to New Zealand. Pisaurid spiders don’t spin webs or use silk to catch prey – they hunt down it down or sit and wait to ambush a passing meal.
“There is laboratory evidence that spiders from several more families (e.g. the water spider Argyroneta aquatica, the intertidal spider Desis marina and the ‘swimming’ huntsman spider Heteropoda natans) predate fish as well. Our finding of such a large diversity of spider families being engaged in fish predation is novel
While they can’t breathe underwater, one thing all these fearless semi-aquatic spiders have in common is their ability to walk on water, swim and/or dive. Typically, a fish-hunting spider will wait poised on a rock or on vegetation overhanging a body of water with three or four legs sitting on the water surface feeling for vibrations from below. When they feel a fish nearby, they leap into the water to wrestle and subdue their prey with venom before dragging the unlucky fish back to shore. And although the catching might be quick and ruthless, the researchers write that it can take many hours for a spider to consume a fish, injecting the body with digestive enzymes before eating the liquefied flesh. This all suggests “that spiders can extract a substantial amount of energy while feeding on such large prey”.
The researchers write that another noteworthy feature is the size of the prey in relation to the spider. They write that seldom in nature do lone predators go up against prey substantially bigger than they are – it is usually the other way around.
Although fish predation is obviously more common than previously thought, the researchers believe that a spider living solely on a fish diet is “probably rare and restricted to those occasions when semi-aquatic spiders gain easy access to small fish kept at high density in artificial rearing ponds or aquaria or in small shallow waterbodies. Additional research will be needed to reveal the extent and nutritional importance of fish in the diet of these spiders.”

Harrelson said those who have not evacuated are still welcome at shelters if they do not want to ride the storm out at home.
Horry County police will continue to patrol until winds reach 40 mph, and after that, officers will shelter in place.
Myrtle Beach roads were clear Thursday morning. On a usual day in the city, stoplights are backed up and cars line the roads. But today, you pass an occasional car on U.S. 17 Bypass, Kings Highway and Ocean Boulevard.
Myrtle Beach police officers will patrol all areas until it becomes unsafe, said Cpl. Thomas Vest with Myrtle Beach Police Department.
“We have everybody out and are just looking for things that look suspicious,” Vest told The Sun News on Thursday morning.
“We are out making sure everyone’s properties are secure,” he said, adding many people have evacuated from the city.
On Thursday morning, there was only one person booked at Myrtle Beach’s jail, compared to inmate numbers in the double digits on average days. J. Reuben Long Detention Center had less than 10 inmates.
Police would not comment about the decrease in arrests, saying it would be speculation. But officials still remind the public that if a person is suspected of a crime, he or she will be arrested, even as the storm pushes through.
The non-emergency number for Horry County Police Department is 843-248-1300 and for Myrtle Beach Police Department, 843-918-1300.

74,216,861 | The RBS 56 is a light anti-tank missile system with a midrange service and with a substantial armour penetration. The missile is intended for operation from the ground against armoured ground targets. The missile RBS 56 has a big distribution in the military organizations, in brigades as well as in division units. The missile system is normally operated by two soldiers, carrying the missile in two loads but can also be carried as a single burden ready on call. Total weight is 76 lbs (34.5 kg). The missile can also be launched from a vehicle equipped with an additional mount.
The missile RBS 56 was manufactured by Bofors Company in Karlskoga. The missile was introduced in the Swedish Armed Forces in 1988.
he missile is encased in a firing barrel, which as well as the sighting arrangement is rigged on the mount. At firing the missile is ejected by a powder gas generator that is located at the rear end of the firing barrel. The missile leaves the firing pipe at a velocity of 235 ft/sec. (72 m/s) and accelerates up to a maximum velocity of 820 ft/sec (250 m/s) with the force of the traction motor. The gunner’s function after firing is to keep the reticle of the rear sight on his target during the entire battle sequence. The missile track is nominally 2.6 feet (.8 m) for RB 56 and 4 feet (1.8 m) for RB 56 B above the gunner’s aiming line. The discrepancy in relation to the aiming line is registered by the sight and is converted to control signals, which are transmitted by wires to the missile sight. At night the daylight sight is supplemented by an IR-sight and the IR-picture is reflected in the optics of the daylight sight. The initiation of missile warhead takes place either by a proximity fuse or an impact detonator.
The fundamental difference between RB 56 and RB 56 B is that the latter missile has two downward aiming warheads in place of one warhead at a 30 degree angle plus a more sophisticated proximity fuse system.

187,391,014 | Before senior pictures, high-school graduates could only commemorate matriculation by tossing caps into neighbors' gardens and humming "Pomp and Circumstance" over sleeping grandparents. Give graduates the gift of subtlety with today's Groupon to CL!X Portrait Studios in Maple Grove. Choose between the following options:
• For $75, you get a high-school senior-portrait session, including a two-pose digital-image package (a $155.95 value) and a 40-minute session (a $24.95 value; a $180.90 total value).
The professional shutterbugs at CL!X studios capture milestones with portraits that express the personalities of families, tots, and teens. During the 40-minute senior-portrait session, grads perch before three or four flattering studio backdrops with any props that define their high-school lives, from footballs and trombones to water wings and a volleyball with a face painted on it. Grads retain the copyrights to their photos, and leave with a high-resolution digital-image CD containing their two favorite poses, which they can send to the yearbook office and print frameables for friends, grandparents, and middle-school crushes. If students prefer more images or outdoor photo sessions, flexible photographers will dish out special upgrade deals to Groupon holders, as well as reduced prices on prints.
The baby's first year package snaps portraits of infants every three months, capturing the astonishing growth from tiny newborn to wide-eyed investment banker. Send out the happy news with 24 birth announcements, glossy, personalized portraits. Three months later, the eyes, nose, feet, and toes session (an 8"x8" print) zooms in on the details, capturing the wrinkles of a palm and a sweetly scrunched nose. At six months, a simple sentiments portrait (an 11"x14" print) pairs a photo with a song lyric or quote, and the nine-month portrait narrative (an 8"x16" print) snaps three poses of tots and props. The first year finishes with a signature photo of 1-year-olds (a 12"x12" print), that can be transformed into 12 birthday invitations, thank-you cards, or campaign buttons for preschool president. The package also includes a two-year club membership that comes with 10% off additional purchases and free sessions for two years.
Expiration varies. Amount paid never expires. Limit 1 per person. Limit 1 per visit. By appointment only. Valid only for option purchased. Must activate baby's first year option by 2/13/12, option expires 1 year from activation. Merchant is solely responsible to purchasers for the care and quality of the advertised goods and services.
At CL!X Portrait Studios, photographers can capture well-posed shots of siblings in matching sweaters or click away at kids in their natural state of play, whether they are giggling in a frilly tutu or banging on a set of pots and pans. The studio’s array of portraiture styles reflects its founders’ goals: Sandy and Michael Pawlyszyn started CL!X after searching fruitlessly for a user-friendly way to document their own kids’ childhoods. Now, their team of photographers snaps youthful smiles in the studio as well as on site in the community, helming shoots at local schools, dance studios, and sports games. Their subjects need not be children, though—they can craft portraits of entire families, moms-to-be, and high-school seniors before they graduate and cycle back to preschool. The crew also takes photographic fun on the road via photo-booth rentals, which let partiers create their own lasting memories at special events.

Countless repairs and home-remodeling projects can undoubtedly trace their lineage back to Paul's Ace Hardware, which began doling out DIY equipment and home-improvement supplies in 1956. Founded by Paul E. Dauwalder, the shop quickly expanded from its original 1,800-square-foot space, branching out to five shops that now operate beneath the expert eye of Paul's granddaughter. Cleaning products, outdoor equipment, and pool supplies are just a fragment of the stores' inventory, with power tools awaiting steady hands, fishing gear beckoning lake dwellers, and building materials—including the Tempe location's 56,000 square feet of lumber—standing poised and ready to be assembled into dams by handy beavers. Still in the city of its founding, the Scottsdale location has moved and upgraded to its own building. |

We’ve all had that moment when we’ve opened up a can of food only to realize exactly how old it is and wonder whether or not it’s safe for consumption. This isn’t a question you should take lightly. I ... |
264,319,089 | To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if he will take steps to identify those responsible for the Medical Research Council's policies towards ME research over the last decade; and if he will seek those people's removal from positions of influence over future of ME research.
As with all the questions posed by Kelvin Hopkins the replies said more about the establishment postition on ME than intended by the scant responses - which were full of obfuscation, apathy and unwillingness to act.
The problems with the policies toward ME research for the last generation, and everything they have led to, is something the charity has been commenting on for some time.
Notably this is maybe epitomised by the events described above involving discussions and emails by CMRC members to contact the charity's advisors without our knowledge.
But looking back over some of our previous newsletters we see that little has changed since Invest in ME became a charity.
In our December 2008 newsletter we wrote of the Medical Research Council when it announced its "new" " "MultiDisciplinary" Panel
If the objective of forming this panel is to encourage new researchers into the field then what has caused this change of policy from the MRC when they have for years rejected high-quality biomedical research proposals and only funded research based on the behavioural view of the illness?
It is difficult to see how this panel could work for the benefit of people with ME and their families when the members of the panel maintain such opposing views of the illness. Maybe members of those charities whom the MRC have chosen to invite to this panel could ask their elected representatives to ensure that correct diagnostic criteria will be used for any future research projects funded by the MRC (i.e. the Canadian Guidelines). Otherwise statements from this panel stating that they are interested in encouraging more research into ME will be based on a charade and will have no real value.
Almost 8 years on and these words from that newsletter seem very prescient – especially the predictions (and when reading this please reflect that this was eight years ago - eight years of people's lives) -
Whatever some may think of the MRC's current, protracted policy toward ME (their current effort, which consists of a panel formed by Professor Stephen Holgate, has taken two years to set up its first workshop) the fact remains that the MRC continues to delay what is urgently required - funding of biomedical research into ME.
Perhaps one of the last vestiges from the old establishment mismanagement of funding for ME research will be published next year by psychiatrists who were given funding from the MRC for research based on flawed diagnostic criteria.
At the MRC Workshop on CFS/ME held on 19th / 20th November 2009 at Heythrop Park, Oxfordshire, in his introduction Professor Stephen Holgate effectively said that the reason for the meeting was the need to move forward, to get away from old models and to use proper science, and that there was no reason not to change things, a view he had also expressed at the RSM meeting "Medicine and me" on 11th July 2009.
The outcome of PACE is predictable (the report will undoubtedly state that CBT is beneficial for people with ME). The fact that proper science, based on biomedical research, has already made the PACE trials redundant and irrelevant is testament to the wasted years of MRC mismanagement.
Unfortunately Professor Holgate has found a strange way to get away from "old models" by including known proponents of the psychosocial view of ME to be present on his panel of experts.
In the UK ME patients and their families are now witnessing the real fallout from the discredited PACE Trial - a meaningless and flawed trial, using £5 million of scarce funding.
The conduct of the trial has been wholly unscientific (i.e. when empirical evidence from their own studies show their ideas to be wrong, the evidence is either ignored (e.g. as in the FINE Trial), or misrepresented (PACE Trial), and the system which is meant to protect against this - academic peer review - fails completely to protect against the dissemination of papers which contain shocking errors.
To try to shore up the establishment charade and present PACE as valid science the gatekeepers of misinformation are rolling out one after another simplistic and biased articles in the media condemning ME patients as militants.
A raft of puppet freelance journalists have been orchestrated to write a series of articles denigrating ME patients and to support these failed fear avoidance and deconditioning models of ME which have been thoroughly disproven.
The behaviour of the health editors in the media, as similarly indicated by the Leveson Inquiry, has generally been appalling.
It is quite telling to see how easy it is for known proponents of ME as a somatoform illness to be given media space yet how difficult it is for patients or ME charities who wish to tell the real story to be given the same amount of publicity.
In our view the CMRC is riddled with so many conflicts of interests and the merging of different functions and responsibilities that should be separated that we cannot be bothered to comment further.
"It looks to me increasingly that the CMRC and MEGA are both essentially grant commissioning bodies. Yet patients have been given to believe that members of the MEGA team are likely to be the grant applicants when the project gets written. That is suggested by comments that detailed protocols have not yet been written. Protocols are written by applicants, not commissioning bodies. My understanding is that a grant commissioning body is not entitled to award itself grants but that any work commissioned goes out for competitive tender. I think the CMRC needs to make its position clear on this. "
When Professor Holgate meets those participating in the Forward-ME group and discusses research then it would be as well for all of those sitting around the table to reflect on this -
All of these years have gone past – and nothing has fundamentally changed regarding MRC/CMRC policies towards research into ME it seems.
Meanwhile Invest in ME Research continues to offer a better alternative for the future - something that can drastically change things
After the suggestion by a trustee of another charity was made to Professor Holgate to contact our advisors then we had wondered if the other trustees of that charity were aware this action, and whether they had sight of the originating email sent to Professor Holgate which we have seen, or if they condone that action and agree with the contents of that email? That is a matter for them, of course.
But we did expect an answer from Professor Holgate to our questions asked in Friendly Fire? The Fog of ME Politics
We have only seen this one email trail. Are there others that concern Invest in ME Research within the CMRC or MEGA proposal group?
Is this part of a larger campaign, or campaigns, against dissenting voices who oppose MEGA by the CMRC, or by those involved in MEGA, or by another group or organisation of which you are a member?
We note that, in your email to our advisory board member, you purposely included and cc:d several others of the CMRC – including some MRC representatives. Are all members of the CMRC aware of this and in agreement with your action in contacting our advisory board without the knowledge of Invest in ME Research?
Is it the norm for the CMRC to contact the advisors of other charities who oppose CMRC projects, without the knowledge of the charity chair and trustees – and is this a policy of the CMRC which is meant to influence the policies of that charity?
If this is so then has that policy been authorised with the knowledge and agreement of the full CMRC board and of CMRC members? And if so has it been documented for the public to see?
Have you made contact to all of our advisory board or to others in the ME community or research community, or any others, in any attempt to influence the policies of Invest in ME Research?
Have you also contacted the advisory boards, or equivalent supporting bodies, of other charities who oppose MEGA without the knowledge of the charities themselves?
We note that the most recent organisation to have signed the OMEGA petition which opposes the MEGA project is the Irish ME Trust – an organisation not located in the UK. Have you also contacted their advisory board, or equivalent, to attempt in any way to alter their policy?
As we know that the Science Media Centre sits on the board of the CMRC then is it also with the involvement of the Science Media Centre that you have contacted our advisory board?
With your status as an advisor to Action for ME do you not feel that you have a distinct conflict of interest if one also considers your involvement in CMRC and MEGA and MRC - and that you should not be contacting our advisor in this way as it may make you appear to be less than impartial when attempting to influence research into ME?
Will you and the CMRC provide an assurance that you will not endorse or condone any attempt to subvert the policies of Invest in ME Research by influencing our advisory board and that you will contact the chairman of Invest in ME Research directly if you have any issue with the charity’s position on any subject related to ME?
It would be interesting to receive responses to all of these points so that people with ME and their families and carers may judge themselves what is/has been occurring.
Neither did the charity receive any explanation or comment from the ME charity whose spokesperson had requested Holgate contact our advisor.
“In recent months we have attempted to urge caution on the news of the UK Medical Research Council's plans for a "multi-disciplinary" panel to be set up for ME.
We are concerned that this panel, under Professor Stephen Holgate, is meant to marry the psychosocial view of those who perpetuate the myth of ME being a behavioural disorder with biomedical research. Have the MRC attempted to sweeten the perception of this panel's objectives by including two charities in the panel - in this way supposedly giving it authenticity in the eyes of the ME community?
How would this work if the two quite distinct sets of participants are studying different people and using completely different ME guidelines? What could this achieve but a total fudge and a complete blending of ME with the other nebulous chronic fatigue states so beloved of the psychiatric lobby.
One will likely hear much comment from this panel that the MRC panel is discussing biomedical research into ME.
However, we also believe that the reason that the MRC panel is made up of many notable psychosocial proponents augurs badly for people with ME and their families.
The MRC have supported and funded the psychosocial view of ME for years and we don't believe their true objectives will change quite so quickly.
The PACE and FINE trials - the two ugly sisters of MRC policy on ME (see here http://www.investinme.org/Article-015%20FINE%20Trials.htm ) - are unscientific and essentially worthless trials funded by the MRC at the expense of true biomedical research.
They will soon draw to a close and their results are almost certain to appear that CBT and GET are beneficial for people with ME. These studies are a not representative of ME but their results will be used to "justify" MRC intentions to perform more psychosocial research under the guise of biomedical research.
Professor Holgate's stated intention of tying both biomedical and psychosocial factions together will be a liability for future research.
The MRC panel will state that it will promote biomedical research and lull the ME community into a false sense of progress
The psychiatrists who have for so long monopolised the funds will control or heavily influence pseudo-biomedical research which will be aimed at proving that psychiatric paradigms being used for treatment of ME actually show biological evidence of their effectiveness
We are concerned that the MRC may masquerade their true psychosocial bias by merging biomedical research with input from psychiatrists and will force through findings that CBT and GET really make a difference.
And so people with ME and their families will be consigned to another two or three years of false hopes and, eventually, wasted opportunities.
Another major concern may be that organisations (and biomedical research charities) which do fund and/or perform biomedical research will start to chase this new MRC money at any cost, under the illusion that the "MRC-funded" label will give authenticity to their research - even though it may well be constrained by manipulation from psychiatrists and destined to validate the views of psychiatrists.
Professor Holgate is now in a position where he can be open and honest about the MRC intentions or he can perform a monumental subterfuge with the future of pwme being the casualties.
A foundation of biomedical research is now established with 5 PhDs participating in biomedical research into ME and preparations being made for a UK clinical trial of rituximab and with major European and international collaboration.

+ in light of oday and qusay, did it put anyone in mind of 'myst'? the two evil brothers ... their stash of horrors that you get to rifle through ... though saddam is hardly an atrus. the cyan folks really hooked into some powerful modern archetypes, i deem. interestingly, myst was built right after the first gulf war ended, if i recall.
+ ny times arts, frank rich: finally, porn does prime time. fascinating, that this didn't surface during an adulterer's span in the white house, as many predicted. we get a 'fundamentalist' in office, and sodom and gomorrah come to our television screens. well, it rehabilitates phil gramm, if nothing else.
later: then again, maybe it is a measured return to the 'idyllic' 1950's. "the smell of ink, the thrill of testosterone." no wonder so many women took refuge in "mother's little helpers" ...

1. where do you draw the line? consistently? it seems 'interpretation' and 'faith' become the triggers when the intelligence is prehistoric (in intelligence terms). one man's sin is another man's virtue. i place the bar for war on a higher plane.
2. 'terrible price.' just so. but we also exacted large sums from iraq's neighbors, because we pulled back in '91 leaving the snake with its fangs intact. "you want protection? you buy x amount of military hardware, keep it ready for use, hire our advisers, and we'll come and protect you." i'd like to see a reporter correlate the price of armaments and provisioning made in the area, post gw1, against costs of no-fly zones and other american actions, and see if we posted a profit or a loss [taking into account the pre-existing bases and costs in the area, as deployed pre-gw1].
finally, using 9/11 and terrorism as a boogeyman to elicit desired response. it's overused, sir. we hear it every day, at least once. save it for when it's directly applicable. if civil defense had done it's *existing* job, with no homeland security 'improvements,' 9/11 might have been prevented.

So I had the MRI today because of some headaches I've been getting lately. Therefore they were concerned that maybe I was having inter-cranial pressure from swelling of my tumor, but there isn't, so woohoo! They said it was "better than expected response to the treatment" which is great!
I also noticed today I finally have feeling in my fingertips and my lips again. Which is awesome (obviously!) Tomorrow morning is my last steroid. HALLELUJAH!
Still waiting for blood work on Thursday to know when the Chemo starts again because of toxicity in my liver. Today has been very hard. Very long. But also very exciting because of the news, it's just hard to be excited sometimes when you're nauseated. Oh and the hair situation, I basically have close to less than half my hair left. 8 bald spots (from each beam of radiation there is) around my ears and such. So I don't know what do with it, suggestions?
Thanks so much for the prayers and support. Honestly they are needed, answered, and felt especially today.
Praise God! I am so glad to hear that!! Hope you feel even BETTER soon and are able to get some rest.
Hi Rachel, You don't know me, but I was a good friend of your mom's waaaay back in high school. I heard about the challenges you are going through and I wanted to let you know that I think you are very brave and amazing. Please tell your mom hello from me and know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We never know what God has planned for us and sometimes it is so hard, but you have such a great attitude. Our hearts are cheering for you - we wish you the best. Tracie (Searle) Knowlton
Please go like... crazy with your hair! Might as well?! Mohawk... with some dye? Haha. Go wild. P.s. I'm obviously SO HAPPY to hear all this great news :) Love you.
Tough as nails, you are. I can't believe you have done all this stuff without a central line/picc line!
What great news with the MRI! I hope though that those headaches are being helped somehow. You sure deserve to be as comfortable as possible. Think about you guys all the time... Our biggest hugs!
I'm glad to hear the good news and sorry to hear you are nauseated. Matt and I always joke about giving him a comb over since he is going bald...maybe you could do a comb around... just kidding. I have no idea where the bald spots are and whether you could pull it in a pony tail a cover them up. I always thought my mom was very beautiful even when she didn't have hair and I think you could pull it off just as well. Maybe a pixie hair cut and you could wrap it.
Congratulations Rach on the great news. We're still praying for you and your family. As far as hair goes I bet Mindy could come up with something fabulous and start a whole new trend or you could take JC's advice that shaving his head was liberating and your cute enough to pull anything off. Hope the nausea goes soon. Sending you lots of love and best wishes. The Oakmans
•Your hair looks great in a pony tail. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but I don't see any loss.
Awesome News! YeeHaw! As far as the hair goes....I would just shave it...it really is very liberating! People will look into your eyes, and see that beautiful smile and see the true you! Last Sunday was the first time I went to church after shaving mine off, it was great, because I got to share your story... you have more people praying for you and your family! Keep up the good work, and keep the posts and pictures coming, it makes my whole day!
Praise God! I am happy to hear the good reports! I believe there are more miracles for you. You dont know me, but I pray for you often. Your situation has really touched my heart. God is amazing and I believe he has amzing things planned for you. I hope you continue to feel better and I pray peace over you.
HOORAY for better than expected results! Miracles are taking place! You have become a trend-setter! ;) MRIs are no fun, but I'm glad there's no inter-cranial pressure. I pray they can help with your headaches and nausea soon. Those doctors at St. Jude are absolutely UH-mazing! Keep moving forward! You're in the home stretch!
My sister shaved her head when she started getting bald spots. Someone told her it would come back in better if she did. I don't know if that's true or not. You should probably ask someone there. Whatever you choose to do, I'd love to knit or crochet a couple of hats or headbands for you.
I had a friend in high school who had brain cancer and she wore cute bandanas and hats. The weather is starting to cool down so you could totally get away with it!
You could always go the wig route. Even synthetic ones can look very realistic--if you find a good one that suits you. Your hair looks good to me though. Best Wishes. Even though I don't know you, I pray for you and your family.
The healthcare trade consists of a number of segments pertaining to different practices in medication that provide totally different providers. – Problems with diet. A man who is not eating enough, or isn’t consuming the correct foods, can endure from critical fatigue that makes him too drained to engage in many issues, including sex. This can also be the case if a man is getting plenty to eat however it’s all of the fallacious things, such as the man who lives on quick food and never touches a contemporary veggie. Nutrition issues needs to be evaluated by a physician.
Tobacco and alcohol firms might win more easily in courtroom instances such as the latest battle over plain cigarette packaging if the EU Constitution of Basic Rights is deserted, a barrister and public health professor have stated.

Commuters who swap their car or bus pass for a bike might minimize their threat of growing heart disease and cancer by nearly half, new analysis suggests – but campaigners have warned there may be nonetheless an pressing need†to enhance road circumstances for cyclists. Cycling to work is linked to a decrease threat of developing cancer by forty five per cent and cardiovascular disease by 46 per cent, in response to a study of a quarter of one million folks. Walking to work also brought health advantages, the University of Glasgow researchers found, but to not the same diploma as biking.
Let’s be sincere: Sex is one of the most pleasant issues in life, and plenty of a person thinks about it not less than on daily basis, if not multiple instances each day. So it have to be something serious to make him too drained for intercourse, right? Listed below are a few of the points that may lead to being too tired and different penis problems which are associated with it.

199,877,420 | Los Gatos, CA – Feb. 8, 2011 - iWatt, Inc., a developer of energy-efficient digital power supply control integrated circuits (ICs) used in leading-edge power supplies, today expanded its family of digital LED driver ICs with a two-stage, power-factor-corrected (PFC), primary-side-regulated, leading- and trailing-edge-dimmable, AC/DC Digital PWM Controller targeting 120V/230VAC offline commercial and industrial LED lighting applications. Designed for isolated or non-isolated LED drivers used in incandescent replacement lamps including both space-constrained (GU10, MR16) and larger (A, PAR) types, the iW3614 (3W to 15W) incorporates features to assure power efficiency, durability, reduced size and component costs, and flicker-free compatibility with existing wall dimmers worldwide.
The iW3614 joins its siblings, the medium-power iW3610/iW3612 ICs and low-power iW3602, as iWatt’s first LED driver IC targeted for commercial and industrial LED lighting applications with PF > 0.9. All four ICs are pin compatible, and the iW3602/iW3612/iW3614 include hot-plug support, where the user can swap the LED engine without recycling the input power for the LED driver.
The iW3614 features a two-stage PFC scheme on a single chip. A front-stage boost converter enables PF > 0.90 (typically 0.94), while the following PWM driver stage minimizes ripple current at the output. This scheme eliminates the disadvantages of a single-stage design, such as the low 100Hz/120Hz line frequency ripple and resulting flicker at the output. Reducing the output ripple current also enables smaller output capacitors, leading to size, cost and reliability benefits.
The low-frequency (100Hz/120Hz) flicker common to single-stage PFC solutions has the potential to cause headaches, migraines, eye strain and other ill effects, and is currently under scrutiny by the IEEE standards working group, the IEEE PAR1789. “The power savings that make LED lighting solutions attractive will be undermined if they cause significant health risks to the public,” said Ron Edgerton, CEO of iWatt. “Our engineers are looking at ways to preserve the industry’s energy-efficiency benefits and avoid the potential health risks.”
A single-stage PFC design can also limit the dimming range (typically 10% to 100%) as it may lack a bulk electrolytic storage capacitor to store energy and subsequently power the LEDs when the dimmer phase cut is low. iWatt’s two-stage design overcomes this challenge with a small bulk storage capacitor to allow a wide (1% to 100%) dimming range.
In iWatt’s LED driver ICs, intelligent digital algorithms automatically detect all types of dimmers or a lack thereof, for flicker-free operation with existing wall dimmers worldwide, including both leading-edge (TRIAC style) and trailing-edge dimmers. In case of an unsupported dimmer, safe mode shuts it down. The device allows smooth, flicker-free dimming with tight +5% LED current regulation which prevents flicker from the noisy line voltage common on a factory floor.
iWatt’s AC/DC power conversion ICs are unique in that they feature a digital feedback and control loop versus analog. This adaptive digital control technology optimizes efficiency and reliability, and simplifies printed circuit board (PCB) design. Precision primary-side-control technology to eliminate the opto-coupler and secondary-side control circuit, built-in frequency jitter and quasi-resonant (or valley-mode) switching to reduce EMI (over 6dB margin and over 85% efficiency), and a high switching frequency up to 200kHz combine to enable designers to reduce thermal loss, component count, driver size and bill of materials (BOM). Eliminating the opto-coupler, combined with low inrush current and low ripple current by design, can also lengthen the life of the LED driver assembly.
Comprehensive safety features include: LED open/short circuit protection, input over-voltage protection, and over-temperature thermal shutdown. An LED current de-rating at high temperatures also protects LEDs. The IC enables system designers to exceed all safety, EMI and regulatory standards, including the EN55015B, IEC61000-3-2 and Energy Star.
The chip comes in a low-cost, thermally-enhanced SO-8 package with an exposed pad which allows lower die junction-to-PCB thermal resistance for increased reliability. Samples are available, and the iW3614 is priced at $1.13 in 1,000-piece quantities. Product information is available at:

123,217,040 | You may be surprised at how much time and attention successful wealthy families devote to family issues. Sure, you receive a lot of information on stock market analysis, strategic investment recommendations and the best ways to grow and protect your family wealth. But financial matters are only part of the equation.
That’s because the best financial advice in the world can’t overcome a weak family unit that’s unprepared to meet the challenges of preserving multigenerational wealth. That’s why we devote so much energy to showing you how to build a positive family culture, develop strong family relationships, learn better communication skills and resolve conflicts before they tear your family apart.
So what underlying element creates a cohesive, cooperative family capable of sustaining both financial and personal prosperity?
Character doesn’t necessarily earn you more money or ensure your financial security. And because character is subtle, it doesn’t naturally boost your ego. But it is the foundation upon which successful families are built.
I’ve been consulting with a wealthy family whose parents recently passed away. The oldest son (I’ll call him Jim) took over the family business. Everyone thought Jim was a great guy. But he allowed the winds of temptation to carry him away and become deeply involved in porn and prostitution. When his wife found out, she was devastated. He repulsed her. She threatened divorce.
His siblings told Jim that he should resign from his position in the family company. They were horrified that someone with such a deeply flawed character was representing them. They were disgusted because his morals so violently opposed their own. And they were fearful that his behavior would become known in their community and thus ruin their business.
Instead of pursuing honesty, integrity and sound moral behaviors, Jim got sidetracked. He lost sleep thinking of how to cover these new tracks by lying, hiding and covering up. He became exhausted, anxious, and depressed.
Jim is clawing his way out of the hole he dug within his family. You can imagine how tenuous his relationships are. But he can’t go backwards and undo what he has done. He’s now working hard to repair that trust and rid himself of the character defects that nearly destroyed him, his family and the family business.
Not all character flaws are as dramatic as Jim’s. Sometimes lack of character can be as simple as lying when you’re afraid to tell the truth. You convince yourself that bending the truth, just this once, won’t really matter.
But bending the truth is a slippery slope that leads to dishonesty creeping into other areas of your life. It makes you untrustworthy, which damages both personal and business relationships.
Recently I worked with a family trying to divide the household items in the family home after the last parent passed away. It was a large estate home with many antiques and museum-quality valuables. One brother kept slipping into the warehouse and snatching oriental rugs, antique purses, beautifully framed photographs of ancestors and family documents dating back two hundred years.
When the sisters questioned their brother about the missing items, he simply said he didn’t know what had happened to them. They knew he had taken them, but there was nothing they could do. The trust between them vanished and will likely never be rebuilt.
The sisters were angry at the loss of these sentimental and valuable articles. But most of all, they were disappointed in their brother, a man they had loved for many years who had degenerated into a person of low character. The loss of the brother they knew far outweighed the loss of the valuables.
If you’re a parent or a grandparent, there’s an additional purpose of constantly monitoring your character — of making sure you are living an upstanding life. You are the most important role model your kids will ever have, and they imitate your behavior far more than your words.
Even when your kids become adults, they still look to you to be the moral compass in their lives. They watch how you behave and how you treat other people. They take their cues from you.
I met Natasha when she was twenty-one. Her mother is an alcoholic and has been divorced four times, with lots of boyfriends in between. Her mother has never worked because she lives very well off her family trusts. She’s immature, selfish, self-centered and considers only what works for her,without regard for how it impacts Natasha.
Natasha doesn’t want to live like her mother. She doesn’t want to become an alcoholic. But she has watched her mom slug a few drinks every time discomfort or anxiety spilled into her life, and Natasha fights against the urge to do the same.
Natasha is now in a serious relationship that resembles her mother’s marriages. But it’s difficult for Natasha to change because her mother is still the most important adult in her life.
Natasha wants to have a job that pays for her lifestyle, even though she also receives monthly checks from her family trust. But she doesn’t know how to talk with her mother about career possibilities because her mom doesn’t understand. Natasha is fighting against her mother’s character and trying to build a better life for herself. But her mother’s behavior has made that an uphill battle.
My two daughters each have toddlers. They tease me because both toddlers repeat my phrases from time to time. One has picked up, “Oh honestly!” The other uses, “What the heck!”
It’s obvious that my grandchildren pay close attention to what I say and do. How I behave in front of them leaves much the same imprint as spilling a glass of red wine on a white cashmere sweater. Once it’s there, it’s really hard to remove. Am I helping them build good character? Or will they have to overcome the negative influence of my behaviors?
If you place great value on materialism, your children will do the same. If you put on a show and flaunt your wealth in public, your children will probably do the same. If you cheat — on your income taxes, on your spouse, on your restaurant bill — it’s like giving your children a pass to cheat as well. So don’t be surprised if they get caught cheating on their SATs, copying someone else’s term paper, or denying bad behavior.
All is not lost. Take comfort in knowing that instilling character in your children is within your control. If you live your life with honesty and integrity, they will learn to do the same. If you are generous and thoughtful of others, they will follow suit. If you have a good work ethic and put your passion and energy into producing rather than consuming, they will value that as well.
Sometimes we get so busy dealing with the urgent things at hand — in business and at home — that we don’t take time to examine the state of affairs in our families.
With that in mind, I urge you to take a deep and honest look at your behavior by following these four steps:
I recommend that you periodically call “time out” in life to assess where your family is and where you want it to be. These moments help remind you of the long-term goals that can sometimes get lost in the noise of your everyday routines. They also reinforce a sense of mission and purpose in your life.
We all want happiness and well-being for our loved ones. One of the best ways to accomplish that is to act as a shining example of high character in words and deeds. Be the person you want your children to be. It won’t always be easy… but it may be the greatest gift you can give them.

48,529,971 | Two weeks ago I met why my usual buddies in Forestville, Quebec for 3 days of fishing the Laval river for sea run brookies. We rented a nice little place in the area view an awesome view on the St-Lawrence river.
Friends of mine had fished the river a couple days before and told me that there was schools of sea run brookies making their way upstream. Late september/early october is when the blue trout, as they are called around here the 10-14 inches immature sea run brookies, enter the river. The biggest trouts tends to be first one to enter the river, then the middle one and at last the blue trout. They are called blue trout because they're very silvery, almost blue when they come from the sea and they eventually get darker color as they spend time in fresh water.
Since I started fishing this river I heard tales of very big sea run brookies getting caught every seasons. While fishing the Laval I sometimes see big fish following my flies without touching it. Well this time it was finally my turn to hook up with one of thoses monsters! The fish slammed hard my montreal whore streamer and I knew instantly that it was the trophy I've been looking for the last 4 years. The fish pulled up a good 5 minutes fight before my buddy netted him. We did the offical measurements, snapped a quick picture and released the wonderful fish back to his element. II turned out that this amazing sea run brookies exceeded my personal best by 2 lbs! Here's my new personal best: 21,5 inches long, 6 lbs!
On the last day I caught another very nice brookie again on a montreal whore streamer. This one was a healty 20 inches, 3,5 lbs.
After that last catch I decided I had caught enough trouts. I stopped fishing, sat down and opened a beer while watching my friends catch trouts!
That weekend was by far the best brookie fishing I have ever done! It was a perfect way to end a wonderful fishing season.
As always, another great trip report! Those are some beautiful fish, all of them. Congrats on your personal best. It looks like beautiful country.
Wow, that is both outstanding fishing and impressive photography...was anyone else fishing the river besides you and your friends?
Sacre bleau, Sebastien - that is one fine outing -those are some beautiful trouts, too! I spent my last nite in Canada last summer at the relais in Forestville...I assume you were fishing in the ZEC de la Riviere-Laval? One of these days I've got to figure out the ZEC thing, and then the salmon thing...thanks for sharing & keep'em coming!
Yes there was others anglers fishing the river. On a week day I would say that there's an average of 2-4 anglers on the river but on the weekend it can be as much as 10-12 persons. Even when there's more people on the river it doesn't bother me too much as there's is so many pools and pocket water to fish that there's room for everyone.
You're right I was fishing in the ZEC de la rivière Laval. The ZEC system is very easy to understand if you want to fish for sea run brookies all you have to do is get there, pay the daily fees and fish! It's a bit more complicated when it comes to Atlantic salmon fishing but every rivers have a non restricted sector where again all you have to do is pay the daily fees and fish.
If you want to try your luck at Atlantic salmon you'll find all you need to know about the rivers and the ZEC system on this website: https://www.saumonquebec.com/en
Thank you, for your response, Northernfly. Also, thank you for the website with the information about the rivers, the species, and the ZEC system...it was all very interesting!
It is not like that area is far, far away from us...according to Map Quest, it is only a little over four hours for me to reach the jump off locations from Quebec City; heck, my wife and I travel for over five hours many weekends every fall just get to our favorite partridge areas around the Allagash, and we often travel over five hours every year to get to our camp on East Grand Lake.
Even though I have successfully fished in Alaska and the Yukon Territory, and have friends who have successfully fished in Labrador, I guess I have always been under the misconception, that stream and river fishing in Quebec, was difficult to do, unless you belonged to a club, had connections, had friends there, or were world class fishermen like Ted Williams or Lee Wolfe...after reading the website you gave us, I now realize it is easier to fish for salmon and trout in Quebec, than I had imagined...so again, thank you, for that information, Northernfly. |
70,215,989 | “All men must die” just a maxim,a mission statement, or both? - General (ASoIaF) - A Forum of Ice and Fire - A Song of Ice and Fire & Game of Thrones
First, we see Jaqen, single out the Red god when searing his oath-as if doing so is somehow different than swearing to all the other gods.
"A man's sire is long dead, but did he live, and did you know his name, he would die at your command."
"By all the gods of sea and air, and even him of fire, I swear it." He placed a hand in the mouth of the weirwood. "By the seven new gods and the old gods beyond count, I swear it."
Second, we have Arya presence being misconstrued by the witch of the high hearth as being Beric’s-Arya would later on go to join the FM and Beric has been blessed presumably by Rh’lor. I see you. I see you, wolf child. Blood child. I thought it was the lord who smelled of death ... You are cruel to come to my hill, cruel. I gorged on grief at Summerhall, I need none of yours. Begone from here, dark heart. Begone!
Next we hear Melisandre worry if Mance’s want to die gloriously hint follow mean he’s been corrupted by the great other; his followers dream of death.
I also find it perplexing that after the doom of Valaryia, the slave-cities seemed to not have been bothered by the FM as they had bothered Masters in Valayria; it’s unlikely there were less people in slavery who’d be willing to make the appropriate sacrifices. And truth be told, Slaver’s bay Hell even when an aristocrat in the free cities has slaves, they don’t seem to very much mind; Illaryio isn’t exactly being subtle that he does in fact have slaves.
I believe a common thought as to being against the others would be that the wights the other’s use is a perversion; what dead must stay dead; but honestly, I find it unlikely that should be a real qualm for them given the corpses we see rise aren’t alive in that they have actual sentience. The corpses are simply manipulated to do a limited amount of things.
A Maxim. For the living. It means all of us are held accountable by the gods. By death. And the FM are the newest gods. Governing the human realm of the living by sprinkling a little death here and there. As a gardener weeds the garden, so they prune the diseased growths they find within society.
I imagine they take particular offense when wizards try to make themselves immortal. (All men must die, Or else the ones who make themselves exceptions to that rule begin to become new gods too, but of a less desireable sort who probably don't have full empathy for the human condition anymore, and would likely hurt society more than they helped it. )
The FM haven't struck at Danny, have they? They'd be watching closely to see if she can change the slaver continent in a way they couldn't accomplish through mere assassinations (which don't eradicate the practice of slavery but just create job openings for new slavers.)
I don't think the Faceless are "with" the Others in a doomsday cult that's s helping create an apocalypse. They're trying to put more competent westerosi leaders in place and support their efforts! That doesn't sound like they're scrapping humanity- - It's more like they're moving in with a salvage effort. They might have some arcane weir- gotten lore warning them of what to expect next from the supernatural winter plotline, but I doubt they're in bed with the Great Other. Nor do they want to "kill all humans" as Bender would say. That wouldn't be good gardening.
I also find it perplexing that after the doom of Valaryia, the slave-cities seemed to not have been bothered by the FM as they had bothered Masters in Valayria; it’s unlikely there were less people in slavery who’d be willing to make the appropriate sacrifices.
Neither. It's just an observation. People are born, live, and die. Immortality is not an available choice. Even the nutjobs who called themselves the Undying Ones have a finite lifespan. They can prolong themselves beyond the normal lifespan but they will not last forever. The wooden dicks beneath the weirwood trees live longer lives than most people but even they will die. The cult of the faceless men perverted this observation and made themselves killers for hire. It's a sham because they are nothing more than hired killers but it makes them feel better than a freelanced with no principles.
Interesting. IIRC there are some popular youtubers that believe the FM and the tCotF are in league with each other. That All men must die originated from the TCotF when they were fighting the First Men.
A maxim. It more or less encapsulates their philosophy, that the most significant feature of human nature is mortality.

270,765,692 | The Bishop Inquisitor remains with the Capuchin Brothers for eight days, interrogating and recording depositions. He also interviews Padre Pio himself and examins the mysterious wounds of Christ that he bears on his body.
After gathering all the evidence, the Inquisitor sketches his own evaluation of Padre Pio, which includes his reasons for believing that the stigmata are of divine origin. He sends his report and the depositions to Rome, where they stay buried for nearly a century. Now, forty years after the saint's death, these exceptional documents are published in their entirety, thanks to the skillful research of Father Francesco Castelli.
The documents in this book reveal every aspect of Padre Pio's life from his amazing supernatural gifts to his health. In his depositions, he admits, under oath, to the phenomenon of bi-location and to other supernatural charisms, and for the first time tells the detailed story of his stigmatization. Also included are letters from his spiritual father and a chronology of his life. Illustrated with black and white photos.
The 27th February – 3rd March is Diversity Week at Nationwide, and we’ll be running a range of interactive ED&I (equality, diversity and inclusion) events. Here we explain why we choose to have a week dedicated to getting our people involved in diversity.
At Nationwide we believe that all our people have a part to play in ensuring we create an inclusive and welcoming place to work and do business. That means encouraging people to get involved in the activities and events that we’ve got planned, and linking what we’re doing to other important dates in the ED&I calendar, like LGBT History Month.
“ It’s so important for us to educate, inform and inspire our people about diversity and inclusion. This week of activity, with motivational speakers like John Amaechi OBE, Jo Swinson and Sandra Kerr OBE talking about key equality issues, is just one way in which we’re helping everyone to understand their role in making Nationwide an even more open, fair and inclusive place to work. ”

{N} is a bridge to Android/iOS APIs. Consuming C++ libraries in Android and iOS requires a thin native shim (Java/Objective C) that loads the native library into the process and calls the appropriate APIs. This shim is the glue point between the C++ code and the NativeScript Runtimes that read shim’s APIs and exposes the APIs in JavaScript.
You will need to add some glue code. How much – depends on the granularity of the C++ APIs and how many distinct APIs need to be available in the JavaScript layer. This is an architectural design decision. NativeScript will support an arbitrary number of public functions, you'll be in charge of mapping the public functionsto the correct functions in the C++ library layer.
What is a nightstand, you might wonder? You know those small non-fussy drawers or shelf type thingy we keep beside our beds? The ones normally referred to as bedside drawers? Yep. Those are night stands, at least that’s the generally accepted description of a nightstand. Today we are looking at 9, not 4, 9 Unconventional things to use as a nightstand.
All a nightstand really is, at its most basic, is a designated spot to put all the random little things you may want before you go to bed or right after you get up. This is super handy, so you don’t have to lean over awkwardly each time to pick your iPhone off the floor.
Realizing this, lots of clever folks have re-purposed all kinds of non-nightstandy things as nightstands. Here are 9 of my favorite examples of things to use as a nightstand.
Remember the old trunk Grandma keeps talking about? The one she was given when she got married to grandad a zillion years ago? Well, who knew the good ol’ trunk would one day become a decor style statement! An old trunk used as a nightstand has a cool, bohemian, old-world vibe to it— and think of all the cool stuff you could stash in there! Plus, you get to enjoy the added je ne sais quoi. Joy!
Since most people’s nightstands are stacked with books anyway — why not cut out the middleman and make a nightstand out of books or magazines? I’ll admit: I’ve seen this in more than one place, and I’m still not convinced it’s a thing real people would do and not just a styling trick. But I’m intrigued by the ingenuity and simplicity of it all. Have you seen anyone do this? Tried it yourself? Did it actually work? Or did you always find yourself wanting to read the book on the bottom of the stack?
Yes, yes. What you see is real. And why not? Concrete is Solid, fits right into whatever nook you can carve out for it and — this is a big aaannd — is the perfect minimalist decor accessory. You would literally be The Godfather Of minimalism. Definitely worth a shot, if you don’t mind sweeping away bits of sand every morning that is.
Lets take it back, waaaaay back to the 70’s and 80’s when most Nigerian Undergraduates used wicker baskets as drawers and cupboards in their hostels.
The basket-as-nightstand may seem a little unusual, but it would be a fun, quirky choice in a guest room or anywhere corralling books is the main concern. I would suggest using a wall-mounted lamp if you are using an open wickere basket, since a lamp in a basket might be a bit odd.
The Basket trend is back and better than ever. It’s got a new look, It comes cheap and its super versatile. Right now, I give it Thumbs up as a nightstand.
But let’s face it, having a drum as a nightstand speaks volumes about your personality and style. Automatically you upgrade from being drab and boring and ordinary to being Fun, cheeky, original and eclectic! And, if you can find one at a thrift store it is waaaay cheaper than buying traditional furniture.
There are a million different ways to achieve this look, which allows you to get creative when hunting for your own stool and ladder. I’d recommend a small ladder + a small stool to complete the look.
Yep! Bar carts don’t just hold booze anymore. These babies have been fully re-purposed! Debatably the most versatile accessory that every home needs, the rolling bar cart is the perfect piece to move around your house when you’re feeling like a refresh. Wishing there were drawers? Put a basket or bin on the bottom tray for added storage. Win!
Unconventional isn’t it? But trust me it’s so easy and so trendy especially if you happen to love and appreciate all things natural and earthy.
All you need is a tree stump from your local wood market, some sprays to keep the bugs off and some wood stain or paint, and its hellooooo beautiful!
I have to admit, this is my personal favorite! Lol. Who ever uses this has to be either insane or super eclectic. I like to think of my decor personality as a cross between bohemian, classic and eclectic and i can assure you this barrel just screams my name! Lol! Bonus point, its Chanel no. 5 Y’all!!

Health Information Weight Loss Support and Natural Products at Natural Healing House - Free Shipping Over $49
Metabolic Syndrome is caused by years of overeating sugar and high-glycemic or simple carbohydrate foods that spike the blood glucose levels. High levels of sugar in the blood cause the body to over-stimulate the release of insulin – the body's storage hormone. Over the long term, the pancreas becomes exhausted and insulin levels decline, which leads to diabetes. High levels of sugar in the blood produce free radicals that oxidize or damage the cells that line the blood vessels. This causes inflammation, which obstructs insulin's ability to carry glucose through the arterial walls to the muscle cells. The glucose is carried, instead, to the fat cells, where it is stored – typically around the waist.

This week I am starting our living frugally posts. I took this month to get back into a routine of school and normal life after the holidays. Now we are living on a budget and saving.
But before then there are a few things that I have started doing just to get into the mind frame of saving.
I have gone through countless cookbooks to make an easy to find list of our favorite recipes, where to find them and what page number. My list is broken down by Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Desserts. This is truly a life saver. I can’t tell you how many times I have had to sit and go through all 14 years worth of cookbooks to find what I am looking for. This is a time saver, but also gives you a starting point for menu planning.
Organization is the key to saving money especially at meal times. The best way to be organize is to menu plan. Pick a day, mine is usually Sunday, to make a menu for a week. Look at your families favorite recipes, what you have on hand and what is on sale at your local grocery stores. As a homeschooling mom, I have to serve 3 meals to at least 4 people (most days it is 6), but I try to at least have a solid plan for breakfast and dinner because those are our family meal times. Lunch I plan sometimes based on what leftovers I have, but mostly it’s a fly by the seat of your pants meal. If your kids are at school or you work out of the home then only menu plan for the meals ate at home as a family. I like to leave my weekends open for trying new recipes.
In the end, we are trying to eliminate the drive thru solution to dinner. So start small, look at what meals are ate most from fast food establishments and make that your meal goal. Plan a weeks worth of meals for that time. Then plan two weeks. Now I am not saying don’t treat yourself once in awhile or look at your menu as the bible. Life happens! But even if this helps you get dinner on the table easier 4 nights out of the week, then it’s a winner.

I can’t sleep. At 3:30am this is quite possibly evidence that I am not normal. (My friends will say they knew that anyway!) Most people are off somewhere in dreamland at this hour. But for some reason sleep is eluding me.
Perhaps I’m still getting used to another body in the bed. I’ve only been married for 3 months, and after spending nearly 24 years sleeping on my own I guess it will take some getting used to. (The other body in the bed is currently deep-breathing, hogging the blankets and MY pillow, and just whacked me in the face. This could also be contributing to the sleeplessness problem!)
There is also the fact that I am still sick and my ears are uncomfortably blocked up. Or maybe it’s just excitement for starting prac next week. Or stress from knowing I somehow have to cope with 5 full weeks of prac and class while managing to keep up with the washing, cooking, and cleaning. Perhaps I am worrying about the assignment that I am struggling to find information for. Or maybe I’m planning dinner for tomorrow night. (Strange time to be thinking about that I know. But you have to be prepared!)
But somehow, even in the middle of the hazy lack-of-sleep fog that surrounds my brain, I am thankful. Thankful that I am alive to feel sleepy, stressed, worried. Thankful that we have clothes to create washing, a house to clean. Thankful for a warm bed to sleep in. (Now if only I could sleep!) Thankful that I have ears to hear, even though they are annoying me at the moment. Thankful that we have food to eat for dinner tomorrow, even if I don’t know exactly what we will have yet! And then there is my husband. I am so thankful for his love and support, even if he sometimes elbows me in the back in the middle of the night. I am also thankful for a God to talk to in the middle of the night when nobody else is around to listen. |

Partridges are medium-sized non-migratory game birds. An partridge is intermediate between the larger pheasants and the smaller quail bird. They are sometimes grouped in the Perdicinae subfamily of the Phasianidae.
The grey and the red-legged partridge are popular game birds. They are mentioned in the first verse of the Christmas carol, “The Twelve Days of Christmas”.
When cooked partridges have a moist texture and mild flavour. These make a good introduction to English Game Meat for those people trying it for the first time.
The Shenandoah River nudges the old town’s southern edge, the foothills of the Alleghenies rise to the west, and the little Massanutten Range with its Civil War lookout peak, Signal Knob, is visible on the east. This is Strasburg, Virginia, conveniently situated 80 miles from Washington, D.C., at the intersection of interstates 81 and 66. When the town was settled in the 1750s, it could be reached via one road only—an ancient Indian trail adopted by Germanic settlers from the Rhineland and English-speaking Scots-Irish from Pennsylvania.
Settlers were drawn by the promise of land and by the valley’s fertile limestone soil. They counted on merchants and tavern-keepers along the way to provide food, lodging, and supplies. Strasburg was one of those stopping-off points, and the old Indian trail (which became the Valley Turnpike, the Old Valley Pike, and finally U.S. Route 11) was the conduit to points south and west.
The area is rife with Civil War history; the Battle of Cedar Creek is re-enacted every year. (Photo: Courtesy of NPS)
With the end of the French and Indian War in 1763, life on valley farms became more productive. During the Civil War, in fact, the valley was dubbed the Breadbasket of the Confederacy. The region’s proximity to Washington and its ability to provide food and forage for the Rebel army made it, alas, a target for “The Burning,” a supremely destructive effort by Union forces under General Philip Sheridan to destroy such a rich source of supply. Barns, fences, and mills went up in flames as cattle, sheep, and horses vanished into Yankee camps.
Strasburg itself, however, escaped without the damage suffered elsewhere; a 1790s stone mill still stands at the south end of town. Several major battles were fought nearby, including those at Hupp’s Hill and Fisher’s Hill. The town is less than three miles from the site of the 1863 Battle of Cedar Creek.
The valley recovered after the War. By the late 19th century, Strasburg had turned its attention to small-scale manufacturing and commerce. In addition to traditional hand-thrown potteries, the town boasted a steam pottery, which was converted in 1913 into a busy little passenger railroad station. These days, the former station houses the Strasburg Museum, and the plaintive locomotive whistles in the night signal freight cars, not Pullmans.
Stone houses abound in the valley; this is the 1755 Hupp House, a Germanic gray limestone bank house in Strasburg.
Strolling about Strasburg’s two historic districts is rewarding; sidewalk views include 18th–century log and stone houses, I-houses and Greco–Italianate cubes, Victorians, Reconstruction-era and early 20th-century frame houses. Find a self-guided walking tour brochure at the Visitor Center at Hupp’s Hill on the Old Valley Pike.
A National Historic Landmark and a property of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the house is operated by Belle Grove Plantation, Inc., and is part of the Cedar Creek–Belle Grove National Historic Park. The house is open late March into October and again in mid to late December. Public programs include lectures and Ranger-led tours that focus on Civil War sites and other historic places.

The rapid development of the centrifuge industry in recent years has led to a growing number of centrifuges and a wider range of applications. Wastewater decanter centrifuges are one of the categories. Although technical developments started late, but with the support of national policies, scientific research institutions have accelerated the pace of centrifuge technology research and development. The quality of wastewater decanter centrifuges has made great progress.
In the past, belt-type machines and frame and frame machines were basically used for dyeing and printing wastewater treatment and dyeing sludge dewatering, but their disadvantages were exposed due to the extension of the use time. In recent years, these two types of equipment have gradually exposed their disadvantages. For example, due to the aging of the tape, rough, blocked pores caused by a large decline in processing capacity, can not meet the requirements of the printing and dyeing wastewater treatment.
In addition, the traditional plate-frame machine processing cycle is too long, often a frame of mud pressure up to 10 hours, the processing capacity can not keep up with the company's production requirements, and in the process of washing equipment will cause secondary pollution. In order to overcome the above drawbacks, it was replaced with a wastewater decanter centrifuge.
Wastewater decanter centrifuge has very good application effect on printing and dyeing wastewater treatment, because the equipment is stable and easy to operate, and many advantages of high degree of automation are undoubtedly revealed and well received. Although its initial investment costs will be higher than ordinary equipment, the long-term economic performance is very high.
Wastewater decanter centrifuge can efficiently complete this kind of wastewater and sewage treatment, not only in the printing and dyeing industry, so it has a positive effect on water quality treatment and purification, and also made important contributions to our environmental protection cause.

89,494,562 | HARARE - The year 2016 will go do down as a one to remember for the junior ladies national Under-21 hockey team as well as newly crowned Castle Lager Premiership champions CAPS United.
Both sides endured a 11-year wait to accomplish their recent triumphs after last tasting glory in 2005.
The U21 ladies hockey side broke the ice nine months ago when they stunned hosts Namibia 2-1 during the African regional qualifiers semis to book a place at the 2016 Hockey World Cup in Santiago Chile.
Ironically their last World Cup appearance was in the same city and country back in 2005 and it was a huge achievement for the former ‘Golden Girl’ Trish Davies-coached side.
“For the girls, it was absolutely unbelievable (beating Namibia in the semi-finals) even I ran onto the field and that’s said something after I played so long ago. It was beautiful honestly, they (the girls) were so pleased it was such an achievement to make this World Cup,” Davies told this publication of the World Cup achievement.
Hockey Association of Zimbabwe secretary-general Sarah Bennett, a former U21 goalkeeper, who was between the posts when the team last participated at this level in 2005, chronicled the troubles the team went through owing to lack of finance.
“I think it was a very difficult task in the sense that our progression, our preparations could have been better and under the circumstances- financially to be able to qualify- we have done an amazing achievement,” Bennett said.
Team captain and centre back Stephanie Campbell, who scored the all-important goal to secure a World Cup berth, paid tribute to the spirit of togetherness within the girls.
“...the team together had such a heart which made it so amazing to lead. The fact that we qualified showed how we didn’t once give up and we fought to the end- it’s so amazing to have been able to lead such a lovely group of girls,” Campbell said.
The junior girls however, struggled to make an impression after they were pooled in a Pool A together with defending champions Netherlands, world number four United States of America and Korea.
Zimbabwe lost to USA 10-0 in their World Cup opener, went on to lose 6-0 to Korea before winding up their campaign with another heavy 13-0 defeat to Netherlands.
Meanwhile, CAPS United where crowned champions for the first time in 11 years and a lot of history was rewritten during the just ended season.
The long wait for league glory was made more painful by the fact their city rivals went on to win the title on five occasions during that period.
however, there was no denying Makepekepe in 2016 as the club defied an acute cash crisis that saw their players at times go on strike or boycott taking to the field.
The one who delivered the coveted crown was none other than their own son Lloyd Chitembwe, who was also a player when Makepekepe last won the league consecutively in 2004 and 2005.
Chitembwe was also the last coach to win against former champions Dynamos before he left the club and also achieved the same feat on his return.
Next year CAPS return to the African Safari and will represent the country in the African Champions League hoping to emulate neighbours Mamelodi Sundowns from South Africa, who are the reigning continental champions.
“Credit to the boys, they deserve this title. Despite all the challenges, they remained determined to do well on the pitch. They worked hard for this moment. Even the club leadership played their part in motivating the boys. It is not about me only but the whole team,” a jubilant Chitembwe said of his team’s crowning moment.
CAPS also embarked on a board restructuring exercise dissolving the whole body that delivered the championship and introducing new blood to boost the club’s efforts of reaching the highest level of professionalism.
Lewis Uriri, who sits on the CAPS board of directors, said the win by Sundowns meant the balance of power was shifting towards the Cosafa region.
“We are always in touch with Sundowns and must admit that we have learnt quite a lot from them over the past years and still to continue to do so. The fact that they won the continental crown means that the dominance of African football is now moving towards the Cosafa region,” Uriri said.
“We are competing in the African Champions League next year, not to make up numbers but with the mind set to emulate what our neighbours did recently, it can be done, as CAPS we have that firm belief and will give it our best shot when the games begin.”
As the new year approaches, we are ready for it. I'm ready for A New Beginning. New found hope and joy. I'm ready for new memories and laughter. I'm ready for to let this year go and start anew. I have been through alot in 2007. I am ready for 2008. Ready for a new me. A new life without my Dad. I miss him, but with a new year it's time to let go and move on. I will think of him often and I have my wonderful memories.I love you Dad, and because I do, I'm moving on. We shall always remember you. I am excited to begin a New Year.
Me too! In some part it is sad leaving 2007 - a year which had my Dad in it to a year with no Dad. But my motto (so corny my kids tell me!) is: 2008 is going to be great! We have just gone past midnight here in Australia, so I wish all you gorgeous people on DS a blessed and better year in 2008. Big warm hugs to everyone. Tahnee X
I, too, am looking forward to 2008. It seems this past year has been spent in a fog. But I hear John telling me to pick myself up and get going. I feel him pushing me forward. So let's join hands and jump forward into 2008! Yahoo!
I have similar feelings to Tahnee. Many of the "firsts" (first birthday, Christmas, etc. without Mom) - once they're past it seems as though Mom will be more in the past, and that hurts.
(1) not to cry at midnight - that whatever you do then is and indication of what you'll be doing the coming year. (Last year, I sat watching the TV while sitting next to a sleeping Mom's hospital bed. In 2007, I slept next to it while she passed.)
(2) and that with all the reveling and celebration, we don't know what we're ushering in (good or bad?)...and so it goes that last year many of us ushered in the last year of our loved ones.
Can't say "happy" but wishing you all, my dear friends, a healthy and better year ahead with friends to lean on when the going gets rough.
My marriage is falling apart. we bought a beautiful new home last feb - I can't afford to keep the home on my own. I want a divorce. I can't live with a man that does not love me, but possibly another women. what do I do? The housing market is so bad, we can not sell at this time He left once for a month than came back out of guilt and fear of making a mistake...however can't say he loves me or ever did?? I am devasted inside, but holding it together for my two teenagers
A couple in Sweetwater , Texas , had a lot of potted plants. During a recent cold spell, the wife was bringing a lot of them indoors to protect them from a possible freeze. It turned out that a little green garden grass snake was hidden in one of the plants. When it had warmed up, it slithered out and the wife saw it go under the sofa. She let out a very loud scream.
The husband (who was taking a shower) ran out into the living room naked to see what the problem was. She told him there was a snake under the sofa. He got down on the floor on his hands and knees to look for it.
About that time the family dog came and cold-nosed him on the behind. He thought the snake had bitten him, so he screamed and fell over on the floor. His wife thought he had had a heart attack, so she covered him up, told him to lie still and called an ambulance.
The attendants rushed in, would not listen to his protests , loaded him on the stretcher, and started carrying him out. About that time, the snake came out from under the sofa and the Emergency Medical Technician saw it and dropped his end of the stretcher. That's when the man broke his leg and why he is still in the hospital.
The wife still had the problem of the snake in the house, so she called on a neighbor who volunteered to capture the snake. He armed himself with a rolled-up newspaper and began poking under the couch. Soon he decided it was gone and told the woman, who sat down on the sofa in relief.
But while relaxing, her hand dangled in between the cushions, where she felt the snake wriggling around. She screamed and fainted, the snake rushed back under the sofa. The neighbor man, seeing her lying there passed out, tried to use CPR to revive her.
The noise woke the woman from her dead faint and she saw her neighbor lying on the floor with his wife bending over him, so she assumed that the snake had bitten him. She went to the kitchen and got a small bottle of whiskey, and began pouring it down the man's throat. By now, the police had arrived.
They saw the unconscious man, smelled the whiskey, and assumed that a drunken fight had occurred. They were about to arrest them all, when the women tried to explain how it all happened over a little green snake.
Meanwhile, neighbors saw the burning drapes and called in the fire department. The firemen had s tarted raising the fire ladder when they were halfway down the street. The rising ladder tore out the overhead wires, put out the power, and disconnected the telephones in a ten-square city block area (but they did get the house fire out).
My surgery is scheduled for Monday the 28th of Jan. Today I met with the doctor and signed all the papers, etc, had my pre-testing (which was all ok) and met with the dietician. She gave me some advice that I thought would be very helpful and wanted to pass it on to some of the pre-ops out there.
She suggested that BEFORE I go in for surgery that I cook up some things like chicken in a crockpot, or fish, and then puree it with cream of anything soup or broth or whatever you think will taste good, put it in ice cube trays and freeze it. Once frozen, remove it and put it in freezer bags and label them. Do the same with veggies. Then once you are home and able to eat the pureed food it is all ready. Just defrost the protein and veggies and nuke it and you have a meal. I thought it was a great idea. I will be cooking chicken and cream of chicken/mushroom soup in the crockpot tomorrow; then I will puree veggies and be all set.
As for Baby Foods, I also thought that was a good idea and stocked up, after the first 2 weeks I thought I would get sick looking at it, so I have left over in my cabinet after we started pureeing my own in the food processor which taste so much better. The creamed soups works wonders to make the meats taste good after surgery
I don't know koolkooky59, I've tried babyfoods off and on over the years while feeding my granddaughters and personally, I thought they all tasted NASTY! I'd rather take the time to puree my own food.
That is a great idea..Good Luck on your surfery! Mine is on Wed, 1/30...My nutritionist told me not to use baby food because it didn't have enough protein in it(just responding to a couple of the ladies) but I will definitely do it..I already started making my beans...I was wondering how I was wondering how I would store it.
you are right on the baby food! I checked the protein content and said no way am I choking that down! I made to with other things - mostly non meat.
Anyone read Before & After by Susan Maria Leach? Good book and some yummy recipes in the back! The Shrimp Salad pureed is SOOOO good!
Before my surgery I thought the baby food idea was great too. I really stocked up! I couldn't stomach even a bite of it .. it was so nasty! No wonder my kids would spit it out. I still have a whole cupboard of it.
THANKS for the heads up and good luck on Monday. I will be praying for you. Monday i meet with the surgen to fine out when i will have mines. Godbless, Lisa
Baby food has worked wonderfully for me, I don't really like to cook and seemed like a lot of work to prepare, cook, puree a chicken breast... and have to clean the kitchen, for 2 Tbspns! lol. No sugar in the food and lots of different kinds to try. Nutritionist said I may need to salt for adult pallete but so far so good. I like the turkey and hate the carrots. :) |
258,542,412 | hould I start this piece with the customary bona fides, listing my stints as hunter, veteran and skeet shooter? Should I mention that my father was a policeman and my three brothers served in the military? Did I mention that three nephews and nieces have also served in the military or on the police force? And yes, one is waiting impatiently to join the New York National Guard. Furthermore, I haven’t ruled out serving as an auxiliary policeman in my home town.
Why do I feel compelled to begin a piece about guns with my semantic defenses at full bore, trigger finger itchy to preempt the thoroughly predictable responses to what I hope is a reasonable four-minute read? Why do I feel I am back in Semantics 101, trying to remember the full consequences of my phrasing and whether I somehow slip from reporting language to judgment to inference and finally the full symbolic tumble into what is politely known as the gun debate?
If I have read one article I’ve read a hundred post-Sandy Hook pieces that remind us that a majority of Americans, including NRA members, want reasonable gun regulations, including universal background checks. The last piece I read at the Huffington Post was by an ex-Navy arms expert and hunter, who is currently in the security business. The article was reasoned, specific, and will end up on the well-intentioned, post-Sandy Hook journalism pile.
Why did this murder of children and teachers quickly become the fertile ground for Internet trolls, You Tube videos, and speculation about another government plot? A quick online search will show that this kind of fantasy coverage far outweighs serious journalism on the subject. More often than not, the so-called mainstream media demonstrates a certain mock fascination with those who desecrate playground memorials in Newtown and remind a grieving father that his daughter really did not die in the massacre.
My semantics teacher might say that when you have hard and inflexible positions around a certain subject, there’s plenty of room for the crazies to seep in. Good as the good professor was, he is now inching out of the semantics lane and into that broad highway called archetypal psychology, home to big ideas that might shed some light on the intransigence we detect in our conversations about guns. I would not be surprised if the warrior god Mars walks in on the conversation.
I have studied archetypal/Jungian psychology for twenty-five years, but I am not a psychologist. For that, I will go to the late James Hillman, MD, author of “A Terrible Love of War” which should be required reading, especially by our Christian brethren. But that subject is for another day.
The chapter headings for this book lay out how commonplace war is in the popular imagination: War Is Normal, War Is Inhuman, War Is Sublime, and Religion Is War. The language and cadence underscore Hillman’s essential point. War is ordinary and we love the bloody thing. General Patton is the poster boy for this exquisite anthem: “I love it. God help me I do love it so. I love it more than life.”
Hillman finds the strains of this martial rhetoric in discussions about disarmament and gun-control. He writes that “The fond belief (verging on paranoia) that one is solely responsible for one’s own salvation and that self-preservation is the first law of nature (Protestant Darwinism) in a mobile, anomic, class-ridden society may provide grounds for American volatility and insecurity, but not enough ground to account for the American idolization of the gun.”
He concludes that “There must be a myth at work. It is as if the gods have combined to manufacture the guns, are in the guns, as if the guns have become gods themselves.” Throughout history, weapons have been preserved as art and worshipped as on an altar. They are our precious collectibles. Given this adulation, Hillman suggests that it is “foolish to believe we can enforce licensing and regulation. No society can truly suppress Venus.”
Hillman finds more than a touch of hypocrisy in calls for gun control from politicians, preachers and professors who turn a blind eye to the American armaments industry. The country is in the gun-running business. This is the cornerstone of our gun culture and a central part of our Innocence Myth, built and assembled entirely at home. In the author’s words, “the United States is the Great Gun Bazaar.”
Hillman refers to our “Invented tradition” that “promotes an idea of freedom that requires a vigilant, gun-keeping citizenry pointing, for example, to the heroes of Lexington Green in 1775. Images of these Minutemen, muskets in hand, muskets shouldered, muskets at the ready, costumed and marching to the music of Fourth of July parades, pasted on ads of real American products, affixed to menus of New England inns, are an exaggeration if not inventions.”
The author acknowledges there are some questions about how extensive gun ownership was during Colonial days, but has little doubt about how much our “invented traditions” have served to mythologize the gun and the gun culture. Hillman asks rhetorically, “How in god’s name can gun control find its way through the American psyche?” And the rhetoric answers back: there is no easy path.
Hillman takes us on a side trip to Japan for an example of gun control between 1543 and 1879. By 1560, courtesy of the Portuguese, guns became the decisive weapon in Japanese wars. The Japanese became masters of the gun, using more in battle than the European nations of that time. But by the time Commodore Perry arrived in Japan in 1853, there were no guns in sight. As Hillman observes the “gun was absent from consciousness.”
With the gun the skill of engagement moved from the soldier to the manufacturer. That didn’t sit well with Japanese tradition. Guns made everyone equal. It might sound quaint now, but guns threatened the ruling class. Perhaps even more important, Japan had no external “gun” enemies. Furthermore, Japan considered guns a foreign import and therefore an “outside” idea.
Based on his research, Hillman suggests that the sword was preferred over the gun for centuries because the “cult of the sword was ancestral, symbolic, and religious—and also aesthetic.” Moreover, when the governing power no longer ordered guns, the gunsmiths turned to swords. In the 19th century, before Perry’s visit, whalers reported seeing extensive forts that on closer examination were found to be fortifications and guns painted on a lengthy piece of cloth. Art was keeping raiders at bay.
Hillman finds neither moral nor nostalgia in this tale but is interested in the possibility of aesthetics slowing down the war machine, noting numerous historical examples of less bloody wars during cultural progress, such as the Age of Enlightenment, when Europeans were falling in love with the mind. European and Asian potentates fought their wars but built cultures that outlived their reigns and their names.
This could be Hillman’s fantasy but one well worth considering. But while culture might restrain war elsewhere, that doesn’t seem to be happening in the U.S. Hillman observes that in the United States the “idea that culture restrains war is being proven in reverse. Along with the American state’s promotion of bellicose militarism, it withdraws from the arts. That impoverishment is furthered by debasing the language, neglecting education beyond occupational training, and narrowing the rich complexity of religious studies to one’s own favorite brand.”
Here Hillman seems to be a cross between a cultural anthropologist and an archetypal psychologist on steroids. He refers to his writing in terms of conducting a military campaign. He draws large and startling figures. And the doctor takes few prisoners.
If there is a note of hyperbole in the voice of this brilliant, tough-minded gentleman, there’s also an invocation to use rhetoric a as weapon, a way to slow the war talk down. From Vietnam to Iraq we have entered wars based on lies, mendacity, and martial rhetoric that debased us as a nation. Where was that American original, Slow Talking Jones, when we really needed him?
To extend Hillman’s analysis, I would suggest that America badly needs a heavy dose of the feminine (Aphrodite, of course) in our politics and in our discussion of war and guns. As the author notes, these discussions have usually been fueled by the influence of the hot-headed Mars. We need other gods in the room.
I have been following the work of Mom’s Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, which is modeled after Mothers Against Drunk Driving. The organization has recently joined forces with Mayors Against Illegal Guns, which was founded by Mike Bloomberg, long-time NYC major. The Gun Sense group is hardly radical, proposing innovative security features for guns, tighter regulations, or pointing out the dangers guns pose to children. “Mother Jones” magazine has observed that since women have started to voice their collective concerns, “The vicious and often sexually degrading attacks have evolved far beyond online trolling, culminating in severe bullying harassment, invasion of privacy, and physical aggression.”
“Mother Jones” has a trove of articles describing this kind of behavior, especially in Open Carry states like Texas. It’s worth perusing. Horrible as these actions are, they suggest that Mom’s Demand Action is touching a nerve and exposing the primitive psychology at work. As “Mother Jones” notes, the vitriol often begins with a paean about fighting for the right to carry guns and ends with calling the enemy, in this instance a high school teacher, a “stupid bitch” and a “motherfucking whore.” These remarks are intolerable. They might also represent a breakthrough. Psychologists call such outbursts, a “feeling-toned complex,” which is an emotional utterance that is usually tribal and unconscious. I am showing my weakness and inferiority. This is frontier mythology all over again and the women are the real warriors. They will recognize the infantilism and the dangers in these aberrant male fantasies, with debased sexual metaphors at the trigger ready. The “whore” metaphor is always close at hand when he needs her.
What’s seems to scare these gun enthusiasts are not the numbers, per se. In my opinion, it’s the presence of the feminine archetype. There are myths playing out here. The women in these organizations project themselves as caregivers, nurturers, and creators of life. After all, how do your battle a life force? And this scares the hell out of their detractors.
Hillman is right; we can’t suppress Venus. She is in the room and will likely have a lot more to say about gun sense.
(Note: In the spirit of Hillman I wrote an epic poem on the psychological, mythological and religious implications in the gun debate. It’s dedicated to Dr. Hillman and available at Amazon [click here] |

Gilbert and Sullivan operas (or operettas) are famous for the "patter" songs, filled with sometimes silly and even incomprehensible (to our modern ears) lyrics, frequently sung by a crusty old fellow with great personality and breath control! The video below comes from "The Pirates of Penzance," my own favorite of the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. (You can find this fun version, which stars Linda Ronstad, Kevin Kline, and Rex Smith, at Amazon.)
This fun solo spends a lot of time up high for the average teen tenor; so I have set it in several lower keys. Here is the vocal part, all four pages. (The piano accompaniment can be purchased from Musicnotes.com in several different keys.)
In addition to being a great song for practice with breath control, this song will be fabulous for your students' articulation! If your tenors/baritones have a tendency to slur or mush-mouth their words, this song's lyrics will tighten up that problem. The object is clarity, but also SPEED.

79,910,789 | I let out a loud yawn as I walked down the stairs and towards the kitchen, grabbing the bagel that was sitting on the counter for me. I looked up at the stove, the time flashing in bright green letters 6:56. My dad still lived in East Troy, while my mom and my school are in Shorewood. Since the traffic is usually bad in the mornings my dad calculated earlier on in the school year that we should leave an hour early just to be safe. Unfortunately, this meant that I had to get up at 6:15 every morning I’m at my Dad’s. I sleepily slid on my coat and grabbed my backpack and another bag that I filled with things I might need or want at my mom’s house. I followed my also tired brother outside the door and into the garage. I throw my bags into the open car before I slid on my shoes.
I paused, the middle of buckling my seatbelt. I went over a mental list in my head of everything I wanted/needed to bring. My stomach dropped as it hit me, I forgot my favorite pair of pants, I needed those pants.
“Oh shoot,” I exclaimed releasing the seat belt from my grasp as I jumped out of the car before my dad could ask me what I forgot.
I took off my shoes as fast as I could before I sprinted down the stairs into my room. I ripped open the drawer that is dedicated to jeans and I rummaged around what used to be neatly folded clothes. Relief and clarity washed over me as I pulled out the blue jeans that I love so much. I stood up, gripping the jeans rather tightly in my left hand and I expertly closed the drawer with my foot; a useful skill I’ve developed over the years. I walked across my room and stopped right before the stairs, they look a lot longer and steeper than before. I took a deep breath before I began to jog up the stairs. I flung open the garage door, a new sense of urgency washed over me when I realized my snail-like pace will now most-likely make me late to school. I closed the garage door almost as quickly as I opened it, I then grabbed my shoes with my free hand. I open the car door and threw my belongings on the car floor, receiving a raised eyebrow from my dad. I plopped into the car and slam the door shut, my breaths were coming out in short pants.
This was quite usual for my family and me: we (mostly me) would gather the things we think we might need if we were going to my mom’s house or vice versa. I was 9 when my parents divorced, so I don’t really remember everything very well. My siblings and I adapted quickly to the new schedule my parents created, we would be with our mom on Mondays through Wednesdays and with our dad on Wednesday night until Friday and switch off with every other weekend.
“What’s so important about those jeans anyway?” My 9-year-old sister’s squeaky voice said, almost drowning out the radio and snapping me out of my thoughts.
“Like,” my sister begins, “you always need to have them with you whenever we switch houses, and sometimes you don’t even wear them when you bring them along.”
My stomach felt like it flipped and was now upside down. I felt caught, a question I didn’t have an answer to. My sister was right, sometimes I wouldn’t even wear the jeans that I made such a big deal to bring. I never really stopped to think about why I always wanted to have the jeans with me, until now. I felt like I needed to have them with me at all times, just in case something happened, I would have them. Instead of furthering my reflection on why I needed to have them with me at all times, I brushed off the comment.
“They’re excellent jeans,” I state matter-of-factly, “I need to have them with me at all times because they go with anything, I will never lose them!”
My sister paused for a moment before losing interest in the topic, responding with an inaudible mumble.
Later on, in the week, I lost the jeans. The day I was planning on wearing them, they went missing. I looked everywhere for them: underneath my bed, in the laundry, in my closet, all my drawers, all my families’ rooms; I even looked in the car. It was like they vanished into thin air. I was upset that I lost the jeans, but I moved past the hung-up emotions I had about losing them, and soon enough, I forgot about the jeans. The jeans symbolized me holding onto something because I was scared of what would happen if I didn’t have it with me anymore, the change that would follow if I let go. But losing it or letting go showed me that change isn’t a bad thing or something to be scared. I was scared of change when my parents divorced, I didn’t know what was going to happen and the thought of changing something that I’ve been used to for 9 years frightened me. Once I went through the change, I realized that it wasn’t a big deal and it wasn’t anything to dread. My parents’ separation changed me as a person because it brought me closer to all my family members, taught me that change isn’t a bad thing, and last but not least, to embrace adversity and see the positive.
After my parents’ divorce, I grew closer to all my family members. Although I was pretty close to my family before, this determinant, brought me closer to my siblings first. Since I am the oldest sibling I wanted to make sure my younger siblings were comforted and that they would still be okay. This desire to make my siblings feel better, resulted in me spending all my time with them; playing dolls with my little sister, playing video games with my brother, family movie nights, and playing Legos with my sister and my brother. As my siblings and I got older I started to grow closer to my brother than my sister; my sister is 6 years younger than me while my brother is 3, I grew closer to my brother because he was closer to my age and at similar maturity level. While my sister was still very immature and didn’t really know how to hold proper conversations without turning it into a conversation about mermaids or American girl dolls. Naturally, my sister is closer to my brother since they’re three years apart and can relate more to one another. But now in present age, I’m equally as close to both siblings because they matured and grew up. I also become very, very, close-knit with my parents as I get older. The separation gave me a lot of one on one time with each of my parents individually. Currently, I am, extremely close with my each one of my parents, I wouldn’t have been as close to my parents or my siblings as I am now if they didn’t get divorced.
When I was little, a change was a scary thing to me. It was an unpredictable place that could help me or hurt me. Thinking about change intimated me and scared me. When my parents divorced I was terrified, because I didn’t know what would change in my life and what would stay the same. But soon I realized that the change wasn’t bad at all; I stayed in the same house I lived in since I was 1, I also got a new house which excited me, I kept my pets, I also got new pets, and everyone seemed to be much happier. The one thing that really changed my viewpoint about change, was when I looked around me at my family and I saw how first they were sad about the change in our life but now they were happier than ever. When all these things happened, and it showed me not to fear change, but to welcome it, because most of the time, it affects you positively.
Although positive things resulted from my parents’ separation there was also adversity before the positive. Since I was young when this happened, I don’t remember much, but I do remember the sadness I felt when my parents told my siblings and I. But, I didn’t cry. I don’t think I cried because deep down inside, even though I was young, I knew this would eventually become a good thing, not only my life but my family members’ lives as well. A little bit after my parents divorced, I felt confused and lost, not knowing how things would be from now on and how to go about things. But with support from my family and friends, I learned to get over one of the biggest challenges in my life so far. The separation gave me a perspective on how change isn’t always a bad thing, and to see the positive in things that most people wouldn’t have; my family, including my parents, all became closer and a lot happier.
In summary, my parents’ divorce changed me as a person and helped me to grow in positive ways. It taught me how to manage adversity and also see the positive side of things. This growth brought me closer to my family members, teaching me, that change isn’t always a bad thing, in fact, change can actually make things even better. If I did not have this experience at 9 years old, I am not sure when I would have learned how to deal with adversity and look for the positive in it. Change is part of life, but I am grateful I learned this valuable life lesson when I did. |
276,270,217 | The drama of the draft lottery has now played out. We now know Connor McDavid will sport the copper and blue of the Edmonton Oilers. Unless something unforeseen occurs: McDavid pulls a Lindros (don’t see that happening) or Chiarelli pulls a Seguin (think he learned from that deal). Let’s get right to the picks.
Coyotes love their Knights. In somewhat of a surprise pick (to some), Arizona gets a player they feel will be a dynamic sparkplug difference-maker.

With the preliminary roster announcements for the World Junior Championships being made, we’ll take a look at some of the top players to watch for during the tournament taking place December 26, 2013-January 5, 2014 in Malmö, Sweden. We’ll begin with the talent-heavy Team Canada roster.
Barring any setbacks from an injury sustained from a QMJHL game in which he was hit from behind by fellow Tampa Bay Lightning prospect Adam Erne, Jonathan Drouin is expected to lead the way for Canada and is a pre-tournament favorite for MVP. As the video below shows, Drouin has quite possibly the best hands of any player who will be participating in Malmö.
The third-overall pick of the Lightning holds Canada’s hopes in his hands. This dynamic player has game breaking talents and can completely change momentum in a single shift. Coming off of a 105-point season (in just 49 games) with the Halifax Mooseheads, he’ll be a big contributor offensively for Team Canada.
Like Drouin, Griffin Reinhart comes into the tournament with previous World Junior experience from the year before. First and foremost, the defenseman will have to sit out the first three games as he serves the remainder of a four-game suspension handed down by the International Ice Hockey Federation for high-sticking U.S. forward Vince Trocheck in last year’s semifinal.
Reinhart is a big, physical defenseman who plays a sound game. He can also contribute offensively, typically making a strong breakout pass to start the rush. The New York Islanders fourth-overall pick in 2012 has the ability to eat a lot of minutes on the blue line, so his absence will be felt through the early preliminary games.
Aaron Ekblad will be one of the players who will have to fill the void while Reinhart is ineligible. The defenseman is one of the top prospects heading into the 2014 NHL Draft. At this point, he’s considered a near lock to be selected in the top five.
Ekblad is a true two-way defenseman and can make things happen in all three zones of the ice. Given his hockey sense and ability to pass the puck, look for him to quarterback Team Canada’s power play unit. Even though he’ll be 17 when the tournament begins, don’t look for him to be rattled by the big stage. He’s got tremendous poise and confidence.
Sam Reinhart will join his older sibling Griffin to become the third Canadian brother pairing at World Juniors. The forward could very well be the first-overall pick in the 2014 draft. Although he’s a natural center, he’ll move over and play the right wing in the tournament because of Canada’s depth in the middle.
During the selection process Hockey Canada management made a concerted effort to select players with a high hockey IQ. That trend continues with Sam Reinhart. In addition to his intelligence and instincts, he possesses great vision and a good set of hands. As shown by his willingness to move to the wing, the Kootenay Ice forward is a true team player and will do anything to win. For both Sam Reinhart and Aaron Ekblad the World Juniors will provide the stage to solidify their place at the top of the draft.
This list would not be complete without the one some are calling the “next Crosby.” Connor McDavid has for a longtime been penciled in as the first-overall pick of the 2015 draft. Although the world is anxiously awaiting to see the prospect, McDavid is far from a lock to make this team. Because of his late birth year (1997) and Canada’s aforementioned depth at the center position, McDavid may have to pay his dues before making the squad.
One reason why McDavid has garnered so much attention is because of his ability to make those around him better players: a true sign of a great talent. While McDavid currently finds himself sixth in scoring in the OHL, the success of his linemates has been the real story. Connor Brown leads the league in points, while Dane Fox is the top goal scorer.
Other players to keep an eye on: Defenseman Matt Dumba, forward Bo Horvat, forward Hunter Shinkaruk and goaltender Zach Fucale.

“Those whom the splendor of their rank, or the extent of their capacity, have placed upon the summit of human life have not often given any just occasion to envy in those who look up to them from a lower station.”
I. When the Black Sox scandal was breaking in 1920 (it turned out that a consortium of gamblers convinced several Chicago White Sox players to “throw” the 1919 World Series), Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, the first czar of baseball, announced that no matter what juries may decide, “no player that throws a ball game will ever again play professional baseball.” He eventually banned seven players for life, including “Shoeless” Joe Jackson, one of the greatest players of the pre-Ruth era. “Say it ain’t so, Joe” became the cry of hero-worshipping boys across the country.
Shoeless Joe, it turns out, was almost certainly not guilty of anything but knowing about the gamblers’ scheme and consorting with his conspirator teammates. He hit .375 in the Series, made a record 12 hits, and even told White Sox owner Charles Comiskey that the fix was in. But the dirt stuck to him, Judge Landis wouldn’t budge, so Shoeless Joe was deprived of his livelihood and good name. He did say it wasn’t so, and maintained his innocence until his death. Comiskey and other owners tried hard to cover up the scandal, and received nothing more than slaps on the wrist. Judge Landis, although not an entirely admirable character in his own right, probably did what he had to do to “save baseball,” but the guys who took the fall were not the ones who controlled the game.
II. Like every other institution of significance, The Pennsylvania State University in its current predicament seeks to protect itself, whether this means sand-bagging or stonewalling or outright lying. Backs to the wall, its Trustees are now engaged in “house-cleaning,” or finding scapegoats significant enough to deflect public attention away from the systemic and moral problems inherent in all large institutions. That so many of its self-righteous critics point immediately to an analogy with the Catholic Church–a reaction both predictable and silly–tells us more about them than about Penn State. As Dr. Johnson knew so well, neither those who are envied nor those who envy often distinguish themselves. Remember Edward Arlington Robinson’s poem, “Richard Cory,” put to music by Simon and Garfunkel? It’s a little twist on one of the oldest human problems, done up in a lighter fashion in the song from Camelot, “I Wonder What the King, is Doing Tonight?”
Does it surprise anyone who has read Sophocles or King Lear or Dr. Johnson (or, for that matter, the Watergate tapes) that power tends to be corrupting? We didn’t need Lord Acton to tell us that. The problem is, the left almost always gets it wrong, and the left, of course makes up the loudest voices in the anti-PSU and particularly ant-Paterno chorus. Ever since about 1600, government, not churches, businesses, colleges, or football coaches, has been the primary source of power abused; in fact, there are several things going on in Washington right now that put the Penn State scandal into the category of small potatoes. “The destructive capacity of the individual,” Paul Johnson reminds us, “however vicious, is small; of the state, however well-intentioned, almost limitless.” If we don’t keep this in perspective as the media wolves howl louder and louder, many good people will be hurt than have already been hurt, and the crisis will again be used to increase power in the most dangerous locus of all. That’s the way the left works.
Nevertheless, and conservative critics of Penn State officials have pointed this out, power tends to affect us as individuals being acted upon by other individuals. Actions, or lack of actions, matter. And here we confront the case of Joe Paterno.
Paterno, son of Catholic Italian-American working class parents, raised in Brooklyn, honors graduate of Brown, has had one job in his life. He went to work for Rip Engel at Penn State in 1950 and never left. He was a dutiful assistant for 16 years, and head coach for 46. For almost 62 years he set a standard of excellence that is unmatched in the history of American sports. Until about a week ago his name was never associated with anything salacious, immoral, illegal, or even off-color. He was a model husband and father. His impact on the game of football and on thousands of young men, and on his university, was altogether for the good. In a matter of days he was fired, disgraced, threatened with legal consequences; the center of a moral firestorm unheard of in American athletics since the Black Sox scandal. The proximate cause of the disgrace is the possibility that he, in his own interest and that of his university, took insufficient action to publicize and prosecute the alleged sexual sins of his longtime assistant coach, Jerry Sandusky. There may be deeper causes involved.
About Mr. Sandusky we should have no opinion. He has been indicted and arrested, and the law will take its course. As for Joe Paterno, whose supposed lack of action has been treated by the pundocracy as nearly equivalent to those things of which Sandusky has been charged, perhaps we should have an opinion. In the case of Sandusky it is a matter of guilt or innocence of serious crimes. In the case of Joe Paterno it is a matter of much deeper things. The left cried “McCarthyism” at almost every suggestion of criticism of their actions or agenda. Just what are they crying in this case? One doesn’t take down an icon and throw it in the fire just to create space on the wall, one has to hate the icon or something it stands for.
The adventures of Aeneas seeped into far corners of my mind, into my feelings about what is true and honorable and important. They helped shape everything I have since become. I don’t think anybody can get a handle on what makes me tick as a person, and certainly can’t get at the roots of how I coach football, without understanding what I learned from the deep relationship I formed with Virgil….
He first read the Aeneid in Latin, challenged by a young Jesuit at Brooklyn Prep to get more out of himself. At Brown he majored in literature. Football, because he understood it so well, became for him the path to pietas, the Roman virtue that encompasses love of family, locality, and honor to the gods. His family centered in Sue and the children, his locality Penn State, and his God the Christian God worshiped in the Catholic Church.
III.Joe was always a difficult man, intense, in-your-face. But it was always because of what he believed, not because he needed power. The opportunities he turned down over the years for money and control would have tempted even the most saintly of men. But…is it possible, is it conceivable that all those years and the habits of success in Happy Valley created what the Romans called “clientage?” Did the Virgilian virtues turn him into a paterfamilias who expected to be honored and even obeyed? Between clients and the patron in ancient Rome there were reciprocal duties: The client gave obedience, the patron gave protection. Reciprocal duties are delicate things, hard to put in boxes, hard to define their perimeters. The same was true in the middle ages in the concept of fidelio.
Barry Switzer says that, given the closeness of football staffs and athletic departments, it is impossible not to believe that “everyone” knew about Jerry Sandusky. Having lived and worked most of my life in small associations, and having coached a fair amount of football, I would tend to agree, but with a caveat. Dedicated coaches, especially those with a moral as well as mundane purpose, often have tunnel vision. They may see the entire playing field and have an incredibly nuanced understanding of the battle placements and the ability of each of their troops to carry out the plan, but they may not know where their colleagues live or what their wives did on any given day, or whether the lawn needs mowing. I would not be so cynical as to assume what Joe knew, or when he knew it. Shoeless Joe’s guilt was more apparent than real.
IV. And what does all this have to do with the conservative imagination? I am well aware that almost as many conservatives as leftists dislike violent sports, and, indeed, all sports that are subsidized by “higher education.” Russell Kirk was not fond of professionalized athletics in colleges–he approved of vigorous physical activity, but only if it were rather unorganized and fitted in with the Greek ideal of mens sana in corpore sano. I have to admit that my happiest jock years were spent playing rugby on Sundays in Forest Park in St. Louis–no coaches, hit each other in good fun, drink beer after the games and lie to each other about our manliness, with our wives and children there to add to the fun and laugh at our lies.
Nevertheless, the feminization of our culture requires that there be outlets for manhood. Does anyone really think that the incredible popularity of violent sports and NASCAR are accidental? Joe Paterno understood this at a very young age, at some level where gut and brain come together. He is thus one of the good guys that conservatives should honor. I’ll take him over his detractors any time, any day, under any circumstances. Somebody needs to guard the city, and to honor the God who gives him the strength.
Quite. Heretic burnings, witch-trials, expect more of the lot, due partly to an angry and decadent nation bankrolling a greedy and irresponsible media. Especially if reporters are too ignorant to cover the Euro-meltdown, and tired of stories that make Mr. Obama look hapless at best. Nice old fellows who focus on football have little chance, I fear. Next we'll learn that in 1958 he told a lady that her cocktail-dress was flattering!
As an academic teacher I have mixed feelings about our obsession with organized sports. I myself am happiest with Academic Decathlon or AP classes. However, as a conservative I recognize one fact. The Athletic Departments like the AG departments are often the only ones to be conservative/Republican in sympathy. Perhaps because they are the last citadel of individualism, merit and masculinity. I am not sure. But this whole affair is very sad and shows that underneath all the glitz and money there is a hedonist strain in modern American culture that would be at home with Tiberius or Caligula.
Mr Munro, on target as usual. my greatest sports-shock, maybe 30 years ago, was discovering dwarf-wrestling on television. Seemed a bit decadent, wot? in mind's eye, college football still lives somewhere between the wars, with the virtues you describe.
I'm going to add to this. One Michael Tomasky, who is a lefty and claims to love football (no lefties love football–they only wish they could be jocks) says that Joe Paterno is "totally and eternally inexcusable" in his response to being told about Sandusky's sins. Isn't it interesting that a liberal nonbeliever has an insight into the eternal mind of God? In the prolonged discussion of this matter on the "news," I have never heard the word "heinous" used so many times, usually to describe Sandusky's crimes, but often to describe Joe Paterno's lack of white horse valor. I have read a hundred books about Hitler and Stalin and have never seen the word "heinous" as many times. This situation may be, to many of you, my conservative friends on TIC, a sideline to the "real" issues of the day, but it is much more. Every decent man who understands Virgil we let get may-maued by the left is a serious and grave issue. If they can destroy Joe Paterno they can back to, among other things, the happy slaughter of their babies without much interference from us. We just talk about politics.
I am not someone who should ever review music, my tastes being without pattern when they exist at all. But, my students and an old friend have recently introduced me to a very intriguing band who released their second album to great fanfare in late 2012. Mumford & Sons, a quartet from west London who play a version of American folk rock music, have travelled the U.S. in their “Gentlemen of the Road” tour. Last evening a friend who has gone to their concerts described them to me as full of “20-somethings who love the music and 40-60 year olds who are there pondering the deep meaning of the lyrics.” Since I am in the latter age category, I’ve got a few thoughts about some of their lyrics which I find full of Platonic imagery and deep meaning.
This week the students in my political leadership course at the University of Louisville and I discussed Plato’s famous Allegory of the Cave and, though I don’t assume to know what the song writer meant, the parallels between the Mumford & Sons song The Cave, and the Platonic story are impossible to miss. (As are illusions to Homer and other ancient texts, but I won’t confuse things too much today).
Mumford & Sons seems to sing to a fellow human being, perhaps a lover, who is still shackled to the stake of ignorance in the cave:
It’s undeniably true that Truth-seeking/finding “servants” have sometimes been “mocked, dismissed, and perhaps even forcibly reeducated or killed”: the name “Socrates” comes to mind. It’s also true, though, that individuals who claim to have discerned the higher Truth which eludes the rest of us–those of us who choose to “fit in” and remain in our “cave of ignorance”–have done more than their share of mocking, dismissing, forcibly reeducating and killing. The Platonic/Gnostic presumption of enlightenment poses dangers of its own; not that I think Mumford & Sons poses any threat, but I’d be cautious about constructing a political/social platform on the basis of Truth.
Wonderful reflection on this moving song! It was a very exciting moment when I listened closely to the lyrics and realized the connections to the Allegory of the Cave. I now play this song for students in my Intro. to Philosophy class when we discuss Plato…it’s fun to watch the light bulbs turn on, since many of the 20 somethings are fans of the band, but hadn’t reflected on the philosophical, literary, and biblical references made in many of the songs (Marcus Mumford studied Classics at Edinburgh and his parents are Vineyard church missionaries). If we are truly in the “age of sentiments,” at least Mumford and Sons is one of the few popular bands out there giving young people meaningful ideas to consider.
While I’m more than a little skeptical of Munford and Sons’ musical merit, to each his own. Where can I find that marvelous mug?
Really glad I stumbled on this. I always knew the this Mumford and Sons song alluded to Plato’s allegory, but I had never bothered to find out in what way. Until I saw an episode of the West Wing, when Josh Lyman pointed out the Cave as it pertains to some guys phone book repackaging famous philosophers as a hack job. But this article was a wonderful light and thoughtful reflection. Thank you!
With vacation over Saturday, I already have that “did that really happen?” feeling…The routine of life is back, and I need to remind myself that it was just last week that we stepped out of our reality. While we had a delightful time, there are some memories that I want to stick with me over others.
Every summer we go to a family place in the Northwoods of Wisconsin where we see familiar faces as well as new ones. This year we met a new family through an unusual experience. My husband, Mike, and I were out fishing on the dock one afternoon when one of the pontoon boats was returning. It had been just a few minutes prior that we wondered why there was a new wooden ramp added to the end of the dock, and in a minute, we were about to learn why.
The boat looked like it was headed straight for the end of the dock instead of pulling up alongside of it. I looked at Mike like, “Do these people know how to drive?” and as the boat ran into the dock, I suggested to them, “Are you sure you don’t want to come in on the side?” and the woman who was driving answered, “Well, they said I should come in on the end…” and it was at that moment that I really looked at them and saw that the man on the boat was in a motorized wheelchair. Then it all clicked. The ramp was so that he could get on the boat…and they needed to line up with it so that he could ride off. After I shook off my “dork moment,” I offered to help them dock the boat. Mike and I pulled them in and anchored them as tightly as we could, and then I bent down to pick up the ramp so that it could face the opposite way for the man to drive off the boat.
Problem. The ramp was fastened to the dock. As the man drove to the edge, the boat sunk down much lower than the ramp. What to do now?
Geniuses that we were, we realized that if we all moved to the back of the boat, the pontoon’s front would rise up and as the chair got closer to the edge, it met up nicely with the downward facing ramp. Problem solved, right?!
Yeah…no. We watched the man drive his chair to the edge, meet the ramp, and begin to drive down it. But with the majority of the weight of his chair no longer on the front of the boat, the boat began to rise…and the chair’s smaller back wheels that were still on the boat were lifted up…and the chair sprang forward. It was a slow-motion scene that I saw happening but couldn’t act on fast enough, and we all watched the chair throw the man onto the dock for a major face plant.
Thankfully, the chair—which we later learned weighed 400 pounds—did not land on him but returned to its normal position after jettisoning its occupant. A couple of other guys on the dock saw the fall and came running to help. Obviously, we were all very concerned about the man—now lying with the side of his face pressed against the dock. Kneeling next to him, I asked him if he was okay. He was a bit shook up, but he calmly said, “I’m okay. I’m fine.” Just very matter of fact.
And in that moment, I saw the vulnerability and strength of this guy. It was one of those times where so much seems apparent in just a second. He couldn’t do anything to help himself—he just looked kindly into my eyes and half smiled. Here was a vibrant person, face down on the dock, knowing that’s exactly where he’d remain if it was all up to him. He was completely dependent on others, and there was nothing else to do but accept that and keep doing things…like going on family vacations and taking a boat out with his wife and sons to catch some fish.
Wow. For someone like me, who is striving to be more vulnerable in this world, it was a real a-ha moment. Granted, I don’t really know how this man handles his challenges overall, but in that moment, he was graciously accepting complete surrender.
After we assessed that he was okay, his wife explained that he was 200 pounds of dead weight. We took a collective breath and formed a quick plan of getting the chair in a safe position and then lifting the man back onto it.
With some teamwork, we successfully got him seated and ready to roll. His knees and elbows were banged up, but other than that, he was fine. He took the face plant with amazing grace.
Melissa shared with us that they go through life laughing an awful lot—because what else is there to do? With the exceptional challenges their family faces, they keep laughing and living and trying in the best way that they can.
I’m so glad I got a chance to share in Jay and Melissa’s world even for just a teensy bit. Not only were they lovely people, but they helped me remember that no matter what “chair” you’re in, the best thing to do is just keep on rolling. And when the occasional face plant comes your way, accept help with grace and gratitude, and remember that we are all in this together.

Great story, Lisa! We rent pontoon boats for our place in Hayward, and a few of us are not nearly as agile as we used to be. I’ll make Stan read this. He will love it!

Afghanistan’s peaceful future depends on an auspicious regional environment, with Pakistan at its core. Vice versa, an unstable Afghanistan will complicate Pakistan’s ability to refurbish its weak state and economy and suppress dangerous internal militancy.
Pakistan is under heavy pressures by the international community, especially after the US new strategy on Afghanistan and the South Asia that blames Islamabad for harboring extremist groups and not seriously working in combat terrorism.
On Thursday, US Central Command Commander Gen Joseph Votel asked Pakistan to use its influence over the Taliban in bringing them for peace talks.”This is the message the American leaders often pass on to Pakistan”, Votel told reporters at a Pentagon news conference, asking Islamabad to ensure Taliban leaders do not use their territory to issue instructions and give directions for terrorist activities across the border in Afghanistan
While Pakistan has been acting against certain terrorist groups, Votel said the assessment of the US was that they were still present in Pakistan.”As we often talk with the military leadership in Pakistan, we need them to continue to stay engaged in this. We need them to help lower the violence Afghanistan,” Votel said.
According to Vote,Pakistan instead of supporting the terror groups, should make it sure that no instructions, directions, other things from Taliban leadership reached their fighters on the ground in Afghanistan and the country needed to ensure that there could be no movement back and forth and that fighters could not come back into Pakistan to get aid or medical care or other things and pave the ground for peace in the region.
“Afghans were committed to securing their people as the country moved forward to conduct its first parliamentary elections in eight years later this month.The taste for peace and reconciliation remains strong following this summer’s cease-fire, and we continue to see local reconciliation initiatives around the country,” he said.
It is hoped that the precious lives and blood of our soldiers and people will not go in vain rather they will ensure peace and stability for the nation, if not now, in the future. Whenever negotiation is proved abortive, blood will be the only remedy to protect the rights and dignity of a nation.
Meanwhile, the most important factor at the moment is that Pakistan must pursue its commitments with true intentions. It has to understand that without combating the terrorism jointly it is impossible to defeat it in both countries as they share a lengthy and porous border.
As per President Ghani, Afghanistan was seeking a long-seated peace; peace between the two countries and peace among the government and armed opponents, adding there is an unexpected hostility between Afghanistan and Pakistan, but joint efforts needed to reach a prosperous future. It is also important that both countries must leave behind the past and renew their efforts in this regard, as in order to reach to future goals, both countries have to overcome the past. Meanwhile going forward requires a movement and joint cooperation against the threats.

OK, that last one was a joke, but the rest of them laura marano topless real. A lot of them in the movie are real. There is a website where people for years have been taking photos of the number 23 all over the planet. This would be my 20 th movie and Jim and I have been wanting to work together [again]. Guess what this will be my 23 rd film. Here is virginia madsen naked example of something.
And these seeds had been lying dormant for years and suddenly it was all flowers. Lead me on some strange journey again. The day we got back the Pope died at madssen Everything is based on 7 in the bible. Madseh and ends with 7. Were all the characters filmed at once or were they mixed up? Virginia madsen naked they had virginia madsen naked play the both characters on naed same day.
We had not a lot virginia madsen naked money and not a lot of time to make this movie and a lot of complex things. So, those were the hardest days I think, when you have to do both characters. And sometimes Jim was supposed to do three characters. I think virginnia was the most difficult for him. I loved when nakrd was young Walter. Chi chi goten hentai had this bowl hair, it was so cute.
But when he would change into Fingerling, something happens where you just metabolize your role and virginia madsen naked whole face would change.
It got very craggy. You would be virginia madsen naked different person when you came on the set. I saw you change Virginia. But it was interesting what you said the other day, but what I flash boobs gif realized, that when we were Fingerling and Fabrizia we never talked virginia madsen naked one another very much.
Msdsen when we were Agatha and Walter we were always hanging out and we were all telling stories and it was like we were really affectionate.
You would jadsen on the set and not talk to many people and Jim would put his earphones virginia madsen naked. I was listening to a lot of Nine Inch Nails. And I would mature nude tumblr of walk on, it was like I had to give my permission to do that.
Well Fabrizia was a very intimidating person. Well yeah, all of a sudden, all the women would have something they had to virginia madsen naked. Because I was so isolated and Virginia madsen naked hate that more than anything to be isolated. And it should pop up when you feel the cirginia loving. A lot of funny movies I mean Shot in the Dark with Peter Sellers was a genius comedy because it went all over the place. It was not only character funny, it was intellectually funny and physically hilarious—always it kept you off-guard.
And the genius around him as well with the other actors, you know, all of that. So, that was one of my favorites and one of my kind of modern favorites was Virginia madsen naked E.
Any collaboration maybe with any of them? I hope so at some point. In these situations you really virginia madsen naked to—it has to be completely perfect for everybody.
Go rectify this grave injustice now. After the grand reveal at the end of the first season that Eleanor, Chidi, Ivrginia and Tahani are actually in the Bad Place, selected to emotionally torture each other, and that their neighbourhood mayor-type hairless gay sex Michael is actually a demon, the series has up-ended everything again!
Michael and Gen madesn Judge strike a deal to send Eleanor and co back to Earth, sparing them from the grisly deaths they faced — essentially a do-over. Will they be better people this time? Only virginia madsen naked show as brilliant in every way as The Good Place can pull this off. The idea is that families who have outgrown their abodes and have the cash to splash face two options — renovate and virginia madsen naked or buy something new. Whittaker takes the money and gives your home a fancy makeover while Winter scours the market and finds you something new.
Yakuza Kiwami is a remake of the first game in the Yakuza series from SEGA. Those who only know about the modern games of the series will feel right at home, while those who played the first title will get to see this everything in a better light. The story and characters remain the same from the original release, but Yakuza Kiwami adds new cutscenes and some gameplay elements from recent entries of the series, making for a polished retelling of the 2005 PlayStation 2 game. It might not be as long or over-the-top as other Yakuza games, but Yakuza Kiwami does a good job of reimagining the start of the franchise.
Unlike in the original release, you can now use multiple fighting styles much like in the game’s prequel, Yakuza 0. Beyond that, fighting enemies and moving around the city of Kamurocho is almost identical to the rest of the series. You still have those random mini-games you can find in the local arcades of the city, but they aren’t as abundant as in later games. Much of the focus is more on the story and battles than the time wasters in other Yakuza games.
In addition, you’ll find yourself fighting the crazy Goro Majima in random places around Kamurocho, which help you level up a Dragon Style of fighting. It can take a long while gaining enough experience or fighting enough battles to level up to MAX, but the moves and abilities you gain are helpful along the way.
The story of Yakuza Kiwami is exactly what you might expect if you played the original game it’s based on. If you never did, however, or if you only played a few of the recent games, then you’ll have a better experience with the origins of the series. Kiriyu Kazama takes the blame for a murder committed by his best friend and goes to jail for ten years, before returning to Kamurocho and seeing how the criminal underworld has changed. While it has a slow start with a few very dull moments, a lot of the excitement comes from the big battles related to the story.
There’s a lot of twists and turns with the plot, including a few surprises and double crosses that fans of the Yakuza series will already see coming, but their presentation is much better this time around. For Kiwami however, there’s an additional 30 minutes of story cutscenes that give more story details and build connections to other games that fans will appreciate.
Yakuza Kiwami is a big visual upgrade for the first game, making it look and feel more in line with the latest games of the series. The cutscenes look very good and make a lot of the action and drama look important, yet stylish. The city of Kamurocho looks great with its bright lights and bustling streets, most of which are filled with bystanders crowding the area.
It can get a little annoying when you’re running around and constantly bump into people that are just there randomly, which can sometimes bring your movement to a halt. The design of the environments does begin to show its age when you find spots with invisible barriers or stoic people lingering around, but visual details on everything still look good none the less.
If you’ve only gotten into playing the Yakuza games recently, then you’ll have a lot to enjoy with Yakuza Kiwami. As a remake, what you get is a solid revisiting of what made the Yakuza series so interesting, while still having enough room for all the improvements from later games. The visual update and additional content are good, despite some of the game’s older problems still lingering around. It’s not a perfect reimagining of the first Yakuza game, but it definitely gets the job done.
This review is based on a digital review code for Yakuza Kiwami for the PlayStation 4, provided by SEGA. |

Huntington Hartford's Third Wife, Diane, Claims Her Ex Is Bedrugged, Bedeviled and Bewildered by Unsavory Friends
At 75, George Huntington Hartford II, heir to the great A&P grocery fortune, sometimes resembles the elderly Howard Hughes. His hair hangs in stark white strands. He walks with a cane, peering wearily from behind thick-lensed glasses. Surrounded by servants and a group of young friends who run errands and answer the phone in his Manhattan town house, he passes his days reading Mark Twain and perfecting “Ten-Net,” a game he designed that is a cross between tennis and Ping-Pong.
Thirty years ago Hartford was handsome, healthy and fabulously rich, having inherited $90 million. He dated stars like Lana Turner and Marilyn Monroe, partied with Errol Flynn and played tennis with Pancho Gonzalez. But, in a curious inversion of the Midas principle, nearly everything he touched turned to rubble. Over more than three decades, he has squandered most of his fortune on a succession of failed dreams: a theater, a magazine, an art museum, a resort. His worth today: $8.7 million.
Though Hartford is hardly in need of public assistance, the third of his ex-wives, Diane Brown Hartford, 44, believes the trend toward dissipation is ominous. She has asked that a conservator be appointed to oversee Hartford’s finances. In papers filed in New York State Supreme Court, she claims her ex-husband has suffered mental and physical degeneration because of old age, alcohol, cocaine and lack of proper nutrition and medical care. She charges that Hartford is being corrupted by his fourth ex-wife, former hairdresser Elaine Kay, 33, who still lives with Hartford and “who has usurped control of his business affairs social life [and] household management.”
According to court papers Kay is accused of introducing Hartford to prostitutes and drug users some of whom live in his five-story town house for weeks at a time. They supply Hartford with drugs says Diane and cording to her also steal his silver, china and paintings. Juliet urged her mother to file her petition. “I do not want my father to become another John Belushi or Elvis Presley,” she says in an affidavit.
Hartford denies his ex-wife’s allegations and has described his use of cocaine as “sporadic.” Moreover, he enjoys Elaine Kay’s company, he says, and denies that she controls his affairs. “While most people would not approve of my life-style…that is my concern and not theirs,” Hartford says in an affidavit. “If I choose to spend my money in what some people believe is a frivolous manner or if I choose to give it away, that is my affair….”
Nor does he believe that Diane’s expressed concern for his fortune proceeds from the noblest of motives. Rather, he says, she “wants to ensure the continuing flow of generous alimony for the duration of my life.” In fact, Hartford, who plans to leave his money to charity after his death, now pays Diane $97,500 a year, his single largest expense out of an annual income of $680,000. He has already surrendered considerable control over his financial affairs to his lawyer, R. Edward Towns-end Jr., who keeps track of all Hartford’s money pays his bills and gives him a $400-a-week allowance Towns-end says Hartford “wishes to keep me under a tight rein regarding my spending habits We argue frequently over the amount of my allowance and he for the most part Prevails…”
According to an old adage, the worst thing a man can do to his children is leave them a lot of money. Hartford, the grandson of George Huntington Hartford, founder of the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, has always seemed destined to prove the ancient wisdom correct. He grew up in the jazz age splendor of Newport, R.I., graduated from Harvard in 1934, worked briefly at A&P as a clerk in the statistics department and served in the Coast Guard during World War II. Soon after he inherited the bulk of his fortune Hartford began a crusade for the return of realism in the fine arts an obsessive vision he attempted to foist on an unresponsive public. In 1951 he wrote and published a pamphlet entitled Has God Been Insulted Here? that denounced as vulgar and profane the works of James Jones William Faulkner, Tennessee Williams and Picasso. Tom Wolfe railed Hartford “the Martin Luther of modern culture, a fanatic who had the most flagrantly unfashionable taste anybody in New York had ever heard of.
In 1949 Hartford had spent $600,000 to establish an artists’ retreat on 154 acres in Pacific Palisades, Calif. But once artists became aware of his tastes, most of them rejected his patronage. Undaunted, the hardy traditionalist went on to write his own fiercely Victorian adaptation of Charlotte Bronte’s novel Jane Eyre and staged it in 1958. An aging, dissipated Errol Flynn, who demanded a TelePrompTer to help him remember his lines, starred in the production during its pre-Broadway tryout, then walked out before the play opened in New York to scathing reviews. It closed after six weeks, losing $500,000.
In 1961 Hartford splurged on Show magazine, a lavish, high-gloss monthly that was supposed to recapture the elegance and wit of the original Vanity Fair. That folded for the first time in 1964, costing him another $8 million even before it was briefly and unsuccessfully revived in the early 1970s. By 1974, garnishing his record of persistent futility, he had lost another $7.4 million on a modern-art gallery he had built in Manhattan.
But if Hartford’s appetite for failure was ravenous, he seemed uniquely equipped to indulge it. In 1959 he paid $11 million for 700-acre Hog Island in the Bahamas. He renamed it Paradise Island and spent another $19 million trying to turn it into a fashionable watering hole for the rich. He built a 52-room hotel and an 18-hole golf course, then, unable to obtain a gambling license, sold 75 percent of his holdings in 1966, losing more than $20 million.
Hartford’s marriages were no more successful, if not quite as costly. He married his first wife, Mary Lee Epling, a doctor’s daughter from West Virginia, in 1931. They were divorced in 1939, and she is now married to Douglas Fairbanks Jr. Afterward, Hartford played the field with the enthusiasm of a lifelong consumer. “The story goes that he used to stand on the street corner handing out his card to pretty girls who walked by,” says Raoul Felder, Diane Hartford’s lawyer. In 1949 he married Marjorie Steele a cigarette girl from Ciro’s, a fashionable Hollywood restaurant Steele was a talented artist whose paintings and sculpture still adorn her ex-husband’s town house and she also bore Hartford two children—John 32, a writer, and Catherine, 35, an artist. That marriage ended in 1961 after Steele accused him of adultery.
Hartford married Diane, an aspiring model, in 1962. “He was a good-looking man then. He didn’t look more than 40,” says Diane of Hartford, who was 51 at the time. In her affidavit she says he never took drugs and never drank alcohol except for spiked eggnog at Christmas. Hartford and Diane were divorced in 1970, when Juliet was 2. In 1974 Hartford married Elaine Kay. They were divorced in 1981, but Kay continued to live off and on with Hartford at Manhattan’s fashionable One Beekman Place. There, in January 1982, Kay was arrested for tying up a naked 17-year-old girl who was working as Hartford’s secretary, and shaving her head. Hartford, who reportedly slept through the incident, was not charged, but was later evicted from the apartment in which he had lived for 28 years.
In separate affidavits, Diane and Juliet say they visited Hartford at his new house on East 30th Street last Aug. 26 and found several disheveled people wandering about. One “was walking around in circles and seemed very shaky,” says Juliet, while another “was sitting on the couch and just seemed to be staring into space.” When Hartford appeared, Juliet says, “I had to fight to hold back my tears. He looked awful and had aged terribly. There [were] bottles of pills and bottles of liquor all over. It was like a drugstore.” Juliet and her parents went to the “21” Club for dinner and after they returned says Diane a “Dr Gross” arrived to deliver pills for Hartford She says the label on one bottle indicated it contained Butazolidin an anti-inflammatory drug commonly administered to horses and athletes.
Soon afterward Juliet visited her father again. He seemed incoherent, she says, and had no memory of her previous visit. Juliet reports that she and her father talked for a while in Hartford’s bedroom; then he got up and walked into the bathroom. “I saw him lean over…and sniff up a powdery substance that was laid out in two lines on the vanity,” she says. “I realized that he was snorting cocaine which had been [left there]…by one of the ‘creeps’ in the house.”
Diane’s case has been buttressed by a court-appointed guardian who agrees that Hartford needs a conservator. “It is my opinion that Mr. Hartford’s abuse of drugs has persisted over the years without being addressed by those close to him,” wrote the guardian, Lynn R. Terrelonge, in her most recent report. Diane wants the conservator to oversee Hartford’s finances, control his spending and make decisions concerning his care—”including placement in a nursing home or under psychiatric care if necessary.” (Before a scheduled June 5 hearing in the case Justice Andrew Tyler will review the reports of a psychologist a psychiatrist and a neurologist who are to examine Hartford.)
Though Diane insists that such drastic measures would only be for Hartford’s own good, her ex-husband’s son, John, believes the appointment of a conservator would destroy his father. “To take away control from my father of his finances…would crush him [and] would affect his spirit and his will to live,” he says in an affidavit of his own. “It would, in fact, be the final act of humiliation a final blow I am afraid he would not survive.”
To celebrate its uncanny success at staying afloat eight years, The Love Boat’s executive producers, Aaron Spelling and Doug Cramer, threw a little soiree at the Beverly Hilton Hotel that would have made the show’s cruise director (once Lauren Tewes, now Patricia Klous) lose her sea legs. The 650 partygoers, nibbling baby shrimp, chicken and rice and baked Alaska beneath giant, plastic cutouts of palm trees, represented a good number of the 999 guests who have appeared on the show since its debut September 24, 1977. “We’ve had everyone from Helen Hayes to Tundra the dog,” boasted Spelling.
Alas, neither Hayes nor Tundra deigned to show. But no one, presumably, cared as the big “mystery guest” of the evening—the actress slated to be the 1,000th Love Boat star on the 200th episode airing the first week in May—made her entrance. “This is like winning a miraculous sweepstakes when I know I didn’t buy a ticket,” cooed Lana Turner, who did not, nevertheless, overlook the fee of some $25,000 that Love Boat pays its top guests. To commemorate Turner’s twirl on Love Boat, the producers hired Andy Warhol to do a portrait of Lana and even gave the shy artist a shot at guesting on an episode.
As Warhol inched around the ballroom playing paparazzo with his camera, guests like Joan Collins, Gavin MacLeod, Dabney Coleman, Mary Martin, Dick Van Patten, Ginger Rogers, Jean Stapleton, Carol Channing and Dorothy McGuire congratulated themselves on their perspicacity in doing Love Boat. “It’s a real show for actors,” said Tom Bosley, star of the late Happy Days and another guest on the 200th Love Boat episode. “It’s made me a commodity,” crowed skipper Gavin MacLeod. “Now people will pay to see me in the theater.”
Amid all the self-congratulation, Spelling, Cramer and ABC president Tony Thomopoulos (fiancé of Cristina De Lorean) dug up a little surprise: a treasure chest of goodies supposedly left behind by guest stars. There, for the delectation of all, was a giant fire extinguisher described as “a can of hair spray left by Ann Miller,” a small plastic fish purported to be the firstborn child of Tom (Splash) Hanks, a book on elocution left by Charo, another volume belonging to Phyllis Diller titled I’m Just Another Pretty Face…Every Two Years, and a package of dynamite—a thank-you from Ernest Borgnine for casting him opposite Shelley Winters.

132,650,600 | I discovered I still had here Edna's poem that she wrote after Eugen's death – I had transferred it from mother's [Hilda de Booij's] poem collection and send it to you here (copy) for John [Tepper Marlin], maybe he does not have it. I still find it very moving, but maybe you read it with others' eyes? In a few months I hope to unearth the other pieces for John. Lots of love. Engelien.
1. It may be the "penciled draft of a poem" – of which only the last three lines are cited in both Nancy Milford's biography (Chapter 40), Savage Beauty, and Daniel Mark Epstein's What Lips My Lips Have Kissed:
I will control myself, or go inside. / I will not flaw perfection with my grief. / Handsome this day: no matter who has died.
These three lines were circled, says Milford, in a notebook found near a bloodstain on the Millay landing. This is the only poetry in Milford's book that might be construed as an epitaphic poem to Eugen. Neither biography includes the rest of the poem.
The Boissevain coat of arms includes the motto – Ni regret du passé ni peur de l'avenir. "No regret for the past, no fear of the future." The motto is in French because the family originated in France and migrated to Holland.
My grandmother, born Olga Boissevain, was extremely proud of her family. I was prompted to remember her family motto when during my end-of-year cleanup of our apartment I came across a book called Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda by Dr. Arthur Freeman and Rose DeWolf (New York: HarperPerennial, 1990).
It struck a bell. The subtitle is: Overcoming Regrets, Mistakes, and Missed Opportunities. The thesis is that people can be prisoners of their regrets and that their focus should be on the future. The past is over, we start from where we are.
Economists call this "path dependence". Economies and people develop from where they are, not where we would prefer them to have started. It's like the person giving directions to your hotel who says: "You really shouldn't be starting from here."
The authors make clear that following their advice is not so easy as it might seem. You can't "just forget" something that you have decided was unfair or a mistake in your life. They suggest that you "change your mood" rather than try to "forget" something. The more we try to forget something, the more we may remember it. Don't try to substitute a vacuum for a negative thought. Instead, substitute a positive thought or at least something that will crowd out the negative thought.
One handy technique ... for interrupting the constant repetition of an unwanted thought is call thought-stopping. It means consciously replacing one set of thoughts with another. ... For example: The next time you find yourself saying, "If only..." start counting by thirteens. ... "[T]hirteen, twenty-six... and thirteen more is thirty-nine, and thirteen more is ..." ... You will find that it is not only difficult to count by thirteen, but it is practically impossible to do that and think about anything else at the same time. (p. 107)
The rest of the book is about goal-setting and the terrible "shoulds", the common disablers. There are chapters on:
My sister Brigid Marlin organized a Millay Festival in London in 2005 through the Society for Art of the Imagination, a global association of artists that she founded and chaired.
It was first performed in 1919-20 by the Provincetown Players, which Millay joined as an actress before she became a playwright. It was called by The New York Times critic Alexander Woollcott “the most beautiful and most interesting play in the English language now to be seen in New York.”
The theme of Millay's play was pacifist, and her husband Eugen Boissevain's first wife lived and died a pacifist. Millay, however, later became a fierce advocate of the United States entering the war against Hitler, in part because most of her husband's relatives were trapped in Holland.
Aria da Capo was produced in 2005 by Ailise O'Neill, who also played one of the three parts. In what may have been a uniquely innovative move, she arranged for the two shepherd parts to be played by two of the three actors who open the play. The other two parts were played by Elliott James-Fisher and Katerina Alkalis.
Ailise had previously been on tour playing the part of Mollie Ralston, the young wife managing the guest house in Agatha Christie's play The Mousetrap, the world's longest-running play.
Aria da Capo was published by Harper & Brothers in 1926 as the second of Three Plays. The first edition was published by D. Appleton & Co. in 1921, and an earlier date, 1920, is given on the copyright page, suggesting that one or more of the plays was first published in 1920.
The first play in the book is extremely short and on the surface is simple. Two Slatterns and a King: A Moral Interlude is 12 pages in a small-sized book. A king marries a slovenly woman whom he happened to find once in her life being tidy, whereas the tidy woman was by chance overrun by a dog on the day the king inspected. The message is that chance is powerful and that a sample of one can be dangerously misleading.
I wonder whether Two Slatterns in some small way carried the seed of Millay's opera, The King's Henchman. They both have kings who are humiliated and two people who compete for the love of a third. The opera was written on commission for Deems Taylor, who begged Millay to write a libretto for which he would write the score.
The opera opened at the Metropolitan Opera in February 1927 to huge public enthusiasm and critical praise. Lawrence Tibett sang the part of King Edgar, in his first major Met role. Edward Johnson sang Aethelwold, the King's henchman. Florence Easton was Aelfrida, hypotenuse of the love triangle. It was called the "Best American Opera" by The New York Times. Olin Downes of the Times wrote:
At the end of the [première] performance there was a full twenty minutes of applauding. Mr. Taylor and Miss Millay were acclaimed; then Mr. Tibbett; finally Miss Easton and Mr. Johnson. Mr. Serafin, the stage director, and others implicated had been earlier recognized. There was a pause and a silence when Miss Millay said, "I thank you. I love you all," with pardonable impulse and sincerity. Mr. Taylor hesitated, then blurted out, "That's just what I was going to say."
It had 28 performances at the Met and toured the nation. The published version sold out four versions in weeks. The opera should be revived–the year 2017 will be the 90th anniversary of the première and the 50th anniversary of the death of Deems Taylor.
The third, five-act, play in Millay's book is The Lamp and the Bell. It is set, like The King's Henchman, in Anglo-Saxon Britain. In fact the story in The King's Henchman is much like that of The Lamp and the Bell. The difference, Millay's biographer Nancy Milford explains, is that "the bond was between two men [in the opera] and not between stepsisters" (p. 287).
I was recently speaking with Riva Freifeld, who is working on a documentary on Millay, and Michael Cook, Deems' grandson, about reviving the Millay-Deems opera, the first major American opera.

I love mint! In major cities a few coffee shops have dabbled into this deliciously bright herb. We decided to pair mint with our top blends to make a muddled mint iced coffee! Not only is this drink delicious because it involves a cold brew, but its damn refreshing!

41,743,775 | Hey there. I make beer, wine, Mead, kombucha, but it this hot sauce is new to me and I'm unsure of the mold level. I've skimmed white mold off everyday for over two weeks now. I'm assuming it's done fermenting but do I need to wait until white mold stops forming or can I skim and add the Apple cidre vinegar. Basically my question is.. Do I ferment until white mold stops forming or will it always form until i stabilize?
It depends, Scott. Sometimes the white mold persists and sometimes it will go away after a while. Normally, the way we decide when a ferment is done is when we like the level of sourness, so you should taste a little bit and see if you like the flavor. If so, go ahead and proceed with the recipe.
Ugh! I misread and added 20% kosher salt to my mash. I surmisee that this will keep the fermentation process from occurring. Is there a remedy? Thanks!
I wish there was! The lactic acid bacteria will not do their thing. You could make it into a paste maybe? Add to sauces, marinades, a braise?
Hi, great discussions I have very much enjoyed reading this.we are making our first batch of hot sauce for the restaurant that I work at and I was wondering what you thought about using a hi powered blender like a Vitamix instead of the food mill. I would think it would be better with less waste? Is there a reason I'm missing for not doing this.
Nothing wrong with using a Vitamix, but if you're after a thinner, Tabasco-like consistency, it will be a gigantic pain to filter out the pepper solids and push them to extract the juice. The food mill is definitely our preferred tool since it squeezes the juices out of the mash and allows some of the finer solids through. If you're after a puree type of sauce, like sriracha, it will work well.
I'm not sure! The heat will kill the lactic acid bacteria on the chiles, but you may be able to add some back in after roasting by inoculating it with a little yogurt... might be worth a try!
DON'T throw away those seeds and skins. Spread them out on a cookie sheet and dry them in your oven set at the lowest setting. Toss the dried goods into a spice/coffee grinder and spin away. You'll end up with one of the best hot powders in your pantry. Spicy and flavourful and the sour comes through as well. Every bit of the pepper gets used...WIN!
We were thinking of trying this with all the jalapenos coming out of our garden right now. Would it be stable at room temperature, or would it need to be refrigerated? I ask because we like to give things like this away as presents, so it might need to be shipped to friends and relatives, etc.
The end product will be quite acidic, and is pretty "shelf resilient," but we've always refrigerated our sauce because... I'm not sure why. If you don't mind the extra trouble, you can ensure shelf-stability by processing the sauce in 1/2 pint mason jars as you would for pickles.
Awesome website! I started a few years ago with growing some peppers and now it's a real passion. I think most of you live in the US while I'm from Belgium. The climate is not that good for growing peppers (the season is a bit to short), but i got a nice big greenhouse where i grow a lot of them. I tried to make fermented hot sauce a few weeks ago with a mix of different peppers. I made a mash and only added 2% of seasalt. After 2 days bubbles started to appear and the mash got a bit higher. 5 days later the mash was down again and no more bubbles. Does this mean the fermentation is done? Is it usefull to keep it in jars a bit longer? How come the mash didn't rise that much with me? Does temperature or light have something to do with the short period? It was in a dark place but not too warm cause it's Belgium :)
Temperature will definitely affect how long the fermentation process takes. If you see no bubbles or activity, there's no benefit to keeping it in the jar longer. I'm not sure what happened to your ferment... how cold was it? Does it taste sour?
Well this is my second year making this sauce. I grow tobacco peppers in my garden which in the past hasn't turned out as well as hoped but this year I have so many peppers I'm not sure if I will have enough bottles! I must be honest I've never exactly followed the recipe just used it as a reference mostly I've followed my nose and watched for fermentation to stop. This year I tried adding peppers as they ripen a small amount at a time and at about the 4th addition I noticed there were no more bubbles so I allowed it to sit for about a week and then bottled. I use pink sea salt and white vinegar with great results. My main harvest is just now starting to turn colors because of the best growing season I've seen in a long time here in se tx, so I'm not sure how to proceed efficiently since I only get a handful of ripe peppers at any given time, but hopefully ripening is about to speed up.
Fermentation is definitely one of the least recipe-like procedures we've tried to cover. You are right to follow your nose! Every batch acts a little bit differently. About efficiency, I understand your predicament: fermenting a few ripe peppers at a time sounds infuriating. Perhaps you could keep small mason jars out for fermenting ripe peppers and just add fully-fermented mash to a collection jar in the refrigerator? Just adding more peppers to the ferment sounds convenient... too bad it didn't work out so well!
So I'm new to this fermenting business. I've read everything I can find and watched every video I could find. My question is when is your ferment done? My pepper mash looks and smells great atm. In the first couple days I had separation in my jar and it seemed to be going perfect. I got the layer of mold about day four. I took that layer off and stirred my ferment. Since then I haven't notice a lot of doubles forming like i did before I stirred the mash. Now on day 9, no new mold and no separation. Is the ferment done do I need to finish it or due I just let keep going? Can I add some live cultures and maybe give it a boost?
Sounds like it's done! I would just proceed to the next step rather than try to extend the fermentation time.
Hi all, over the past three or four weeks, I have gotten two fairly large batches of hot peppers into fermentation. This year, I produced a pretty good quantity of Thai dragon, Caribbean fire, habanero, jalapeño, Hungarian wax, yellow, cajun belle, and serrano. I had so many peppers this year that I had to split the batches in two, first batch was fermented with the 2% salt, and a bottle of sweet mead, and the second batch was fermented with the same salt percentage and a bottle of sweet Riesling. Both went nuts for a couple of weeks, and have since settled down. To add a little bit more complexity, I threw in 6 1cm medium toast French oak cubes to each half gallon Mason jar (I have 6 jars going). We will see how this turns out flavor wise. The flavor is beautifully balanced so far. Flashes red hot, and then subsides fairly quickly. This is my first hot pepper fermentation, and I couldn't be happier. Thanks for the wealth of useful information! - Jay
I have been fermenting homegrown peppers and I used a recipe without wine - just kosher salt and water. It is done bubbling, but I'm still getting white mold on the top. When do I process the mash, will it continue to get the mold ?? I want to send some to a freind and am worried about safety.
Once you process the sauce, the mold will stop growing on the surface. Just scrape it off as best you can.
In order to get a Tabasco like consistency, can the sauce be fermented, pureed in a food processor and then strained through a couple of layers of cheesecloth? I have made this with the ghost chilies before and didn't strain it, although it was great, sometimes you have a need for a more vinegar based sauce without the pulp.
That should work fine, though it might be tedious. A food mill with a fine-holed plate will remove pulp quickly and efficiently.
The exact sort of information I was looking for thanks! Note that pepper seeds do not contain any capsaicin. It's true that the seeds will pick up a certain amount from being in contact but the heat is coming from the flesh, pith and membranes. If one wants to reduce the heat removing the pith and membranes along with an alcohol wash is the way to go.
I'm confused about one part at the end of this recipe. You say to put the whole mixture, peppers and brine, through the food mill, but after that you say to measure the brine. Does that mean the volume of the brine+peppers that I just food-milled, or does that mean the brine separate from the pepper chunks (in which case I should strain the mixture and measure the brine before food-milling it)? ... great recipe, I look forward to trying it!
You got it Tracy! We just use the food mill to strain the brine into a measuring cup and mill the peppers into it afterward.
Used red jalapeños and Fresno state. Added garlic, Reisling and salt. It's sitting on the counter in a barrel (after two weeks in glass jars). Will it be fine in a barrel or should I add vinegar now or Cook it?
It really just depends on how active it is Calvin. If the mash has stopped bubbling, go ahead and process it.
Do you know of a good way or ingredient that will halt the fermentation process after a period of time. Im trying to make hot sauce and store it shelf stable until opening but I don't know how to fully stop the fermentation. Does it just have to run its course or can it be halted by adding something, xanthin gum, citric acid etc..
The vinegar inhibits fermentation, plus the lactic acid bacteria will run out of sugars to eat (like you said). The xanthan gum is just for thickening.
I just finished my first batch and fermented it in a gallon jug with an airlock top (about 3 weeks). Everything was great until I was out of town a few days and found a slight white mold film on top - I couldn't remove it since it had to be poured out of the jug so it got mixed in. I only used the 2% salt in mash while fermenting since it was bubbling nicely. Just bottled it with 50% apple cider vinegar. I have 6 bottles and it is beautiful. But will the vinegar/acidity of the peppers really kill that mold? Is it still ok? I'll be really sad if i have ruined it. Thanks!
Well, i just started my first batch, sadly enough i could not find any sweet wine that was sulfite free, that's the price to pay when you live in a small town, anyhow, i used a unoak chardonay #2, habanero and ghost pepper, i added a little sugar to the mash, i hope this will work for me, any suggestion as what to do with Green Jalapeno pepper, i have lots. Thanks and continue the good work.
PICKLES! We love doing a quick pickle with jalapeños, onions, carrots, oregano, bay leaf, and apple cider vinegar.
I'm curious to know if/how you all use your mash after you've bottled the hot sauce. I grow all of my peppers and hate to throw any of them out, but I have jars of mash left over after my last bottling. Is it ok to add oil to them and keep them in the fridge for use in chili/sauces etc? I'm thinking of drying and grinding some as well. Any suggestions appreciated.
After squeezing most of the flavor out of the mash, I'm not sure how useful the leftovers would be Jane. Of course, you can always try! Let us know if you find a good use for them.
Actually, I have found several uses! I just tossed it into a couple of Mason jars and put it in the fridge, and pull it out whenever I need it. I have mixed with honey and used as a sweet/spicy spread for bread and cheese. I mix some into anything I'm making that is spicy, like chili, etc., or add it to burritos, etc. for some extra kick. I gave one jar to a friend from Indonesia and he mixes it directly with rice. He liked it so much he ate an entire pint jar in a week! It seems to work great with pretty much anything that could use a little extra heat, and I feel great for not wasting it!
Thanks for all this ton of info. Honestly appreciate this . By the way my 1 pound mash fermented really vigorously for the first 11 days and has been silent since then. It was a blend of habenaro and red peppers. So can I add vinegar now or should I let it sit and age for a while. Will this aging phase AFTER fermentation is of any use at all and will it improve taste of the final product. I have heard Tabasco ages their mash for 3 years. Appreciate your feedback !
I think they age the mash after adding vinegar, but I'm not 100% sure. The main benefit for Tabasco is the flavor the barrels impart. I don't think there's any benefit to aging the mash post-ferment and pre-vinegar.
Thanks John.....turns out Tabasco ages the mash for 3 years and then transfers the contents to stainless steel vats with distilled vinegar for 28 days for the pulp to break down before straining and bottling. I guess one can add couple toasted American or French oak bits to create the classic Tabasco flavor at home. That's my next project .
Hi John, This is a great site. The information is so useful.. I live in Sydney, Australia and have just had my first go at this. Used the chilis growing in my garden. I've no idea what they are.....they're very small and not too hot. I added harbenero and bird's eyes to kick the heat up a bit. I left it a bit late to start and the daytime temperature here is now around 61F. Initially, it was looking good but now, the weather doesn't seem warm enough to get the fermentation going. I've been leaving it out in the sun to warm it up a bit and that works but only for about five hours. After that it just stops again. It's been going for about 10 days. What do you think? Is there a better way to get it to ferment, it's going to get a lot colder soon). It smells like a think it should; there's no scum. I added natural, live yogurt to the mash about 3 days in.....it wasn't working.
Hello Peter. The colder temperature will just slow the process down. Perhaps bring it inside, or place it in a warm environment to speed it up? I suppose you could use a heating pad set very low (assuming you're in no danger of getting it wet). Or, just process it and enjoy! The worst-case scenario is that it will not be quite as acidic as it would be otherwise.
I made a chilli mash back in October last year using a variety of chilli's including komodo dragon, Trinidad scorpion, birds eye and a few more. Its been fermenting for 7 months now but since its my first attempt at a fermented hot sauce I'm unsure when done is done so to speak. I know tabasco takes 3 years to ferment but what i want to know is is there a way to tell when fermentation is complete.
That's a really long time. Fermentation is definitely over, and probably has been for a while. There are only so many sugars in the chiles for the lactic acid bacteria to feed on. Though it varies widely--temperature, sugar content of chiles, etc.--the ferment is usually over in less than a month and can sometimes be over in less than 2 weeks. I'm pretty sure tabasco ages there mash for 3 years in whiskey barrels after adding vinegar. This allows it to take on flavor from the charred oak. It is not fermented for that long. In general, when the mash stops bubbling, there's no more fermentation going on. I hope it tastes okay! I'm sure you're familiar with the phrase, but just in case: "if in doubt, throw it out."
Hello all, just stumbled across this page, and was inspired to immediately try Jim's fermented hot sauce. However, working in a commercial kitchen, I only had access to sweet cooking wine that does contain a very small percentage of sulphites. Will this stop fermentation altogether, or simply slow it down? All other things are equal, 2% salt to chilli weight, muslin cloth on a Kilner Jar etc. Many thanks, Pete
The optional spices can be found at Indian grocers. Anardana are dried pomegranate seeds and amchur powder is made from dried green mango. Either will add a nice, sour-tangy...
Do you want to buy the leather furniture for you new house? Do you prefer the leather furniture to the wood one? If your answer is positive, you should go for it, for leather furniture is durable in application and give your room a nice touch. Here are some tips helping you choosing your leather furniture as follows:
Why you buy your leather furniture depends on its durability, for leather can be used as long as the four times than the fabric-made one.
There are different kinds of leather used for making leather furniture because of their unique features concerning the dying technique, coating, protection against stains and fading. So you should have a better understanding of them for choice of your leather furniture.
As for upholstery, its color would be faded after washing. However, the color of your leather furniture could be kept well when you use just a wet cloth to wipe out the dust for daily maintenance.
When you buy your leather furniture, you had better get rid of the wrong idea that leather is felt cold than other material, for you could get the right feeling of leather within a few seconds.
When you buy your leather furniture, on one hand, you would like to update your life style, on the other, you would make it serve you as comfortably as possible. Therefore, putting your leather furniture at the place where it could play the dual-function.
Buying leather furniture means you would pay more than ordinary furniture. However, it is worthy doing because leather furniture would last much longer than fabric one.
When you choose your leather furniture, you may happen to look at the leather-vinyl one, but just give it up, for it might look nice, the vinyl could not last as long as the leather.
The Last Leaf Gardener: Tuesday's Truths: The Forty-Third Week (Honoring the Original Date of Memorial Day!)
Hello, and welcome to week forty-three of my Tuesday's Truths series, with a post dedicated to the initial day Memorial Day was once celebrated (May 30th, no matter what day of the week that date occurred).
As you undoubtedly know, dear reader, folks (including yours truly) living in the United States celebrated the holiday yesterday, as it is currently revered on the last Monday in the month of May. The celebration I attended took place in The Bronx, in which one of the guests happened to be a thirty-five year old parrot.
The bird can be seen here (in images that are directly below), alighting on the arm and hand of the man who cares for him.
In any event, from 1868-1971, Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day (to "promote" the decorating graves of those who lost their lives in war), was always observed on May 30th, prior to the observance being moved to the last Monday of the month. In 2011, I wrote about this in detail here on Blogger, you may reference my entry by clicking here.
Meanwhile, the tradition of Fleet Week, celebrated annually in NYC, sticks to the "old" day of observance, arriving in NYC one week before May the 30th; and, ending its festivities/events on the initial date Memorial Day was once observed.
USS Zephyr (PC 8) will depart at approximately 7:30 a.m. from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point
USS San Jacinto (CG 56) will depart at approximately 8:45 a.m., with USS Monterey (CG 61) following at 9:15 a.m. from the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal (in the Red Hook community)
In addition to Navy ships, USCGC Hamilton (WMSL 753) and HMCS Glace Bay (MM 701) will also depart the area.
wish everyone involved a safe journey. And along with me, send our condolences out to famlies who have lost their loved ones to the horror of war.
P.S. I saw the cartoon atop this entry in my Twitter feed, but have been unsuccessful at deciphering the name of the cartoonist who created the work. I will update this blog post whenever I receive the information.

Boynton Beach combines sustainability practices and upgrades to win the Envision Bronze award – The Municipal
Home→Water & Energy→Boynton Beach combines sustainability practices and upgrades to win the Envision Bronze award
A ribbon cutting ceremony was held for the upgraded East Water Treatment Plant on July 27, 2017. Pictured, from left, are Boynton Beach Commissioner Joe Casello, Mayor Steven Grant, Utilities Technical Services Manager Michael Low, Commissioner Christina Romelus and Vice Mayor Justin Katz. (Photo provided)
The Boynton Beach City Commission approved a partnership on March 2, 2015, allowing CDM Smith to begin the East Plant Ion Exchange and Upgrades Project. This partnership on the upgrades project led to the Envision Bronze award from the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure in August 2017.
In Boynton Beach there is an East Water Treatment Plant and a West Water Treatment Plant, both of which are operated by Boynton Beach Utilities. Each plant has its own water supply, and, historically, the East Water Treatment Plant draws from the wellfields to the east while the West Water Treatment Plant draws from the western wellfields.
Rebecca Harvey, Boynton Beach Utilities sustainability coordinator, stated, “With increasing saltwater intrusion in the eastern coastal wellfields, this project was implemented to avoid saltwater intrusion and diversify water sources to reduce dependence on the eastern wells.
“To shift to greater reliance on the western wellfield but utilizing the existing assets at the East Water Treatment Plant — where most of the increase in demand is expected — Boynton Beach Utilities installed a 6-mile-long raw water pipeline to connect the western wellfield to the East Water Treatment Plant.” With the water demands in the city projected to expand up to 25 percent, the pipeline provides up to 16 million gallons per day of raw water to support this future growth.
However, the western wellfields contained high levels of dissolved organic compounds, as well as high color and hardness, when compared to the eastern wellfields. This required alternative processes to meet water quality needs.
The East Water Treatment Plant Ion Exchange and Upgrades Project “added (a) MIEX ion exchange pretreatment system for removal of organic compounds from the western water to the existing East Water Treatment Plant,” commented Harvey.
This means that the entire process is included in the East Water Treatment Plant, and following the western water’s passage through the pretreatment system, it is then treated by the existing lime softening treatment.
Following construction, Boynton Beach Utilities took charge of the plant’s operations. With the new upgrades, it is anticipating an increase in water treatment plant capacity; a significant reduction in color and disinfection byproducts; and a reduction in both the production of lime solids as well as chemical usage.
While the primary contractor that handled all aspects of the project was CDM Smith, additional collaborators on the project included The Merchant Strategy; AW Architects; Tierra South Florida; Engenuity Group; Cooper Construction Management and Consulting; DCR Engineering Services; Carollo Design Build Group; and PCL, which installed the MIEX process.
In order to optimize the contactor format, Boynton Beach used computation fluid dynamics. This means it used counterrotating mixers without baffle stators in order to minimize rotation. The top of an ion exchange contactor is shown with mixer motors and resin transfer tank. (Photo provided)
Basing the design off the nearby Palm Beach County Water Treatment Plant, Boynton Beach enhanced and optimized the contactor design. This resin regeneration area shows the recycled brine tank and resin regeneration skids. (Photo provided)
The Envision Bronze award received by Boynton Beach was one of only four granted in 2017 and the first to ever be granted in Florida. The Envision system judges sustainable infrastructure projects based on a range of environmental, social and economic impacts in five categories. These categories are quality of life, leadership, natural world, resource allocation, and climate and risk.
When it came to the $30.8 million Boynton Beach Ion Exchange Resin Plant and East Water Treatment Upgrades Project, the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure took many of the plant’s upgrades into consideration. Harvey listed many of the upgrades that were completed with the project in 2017, mentioning “filter valve replacements, replacement of the plant’s high service pumps, replacement of main electrical systems, improved stormwater management, modifications to plant disinfection system, upgraded security features and a new 3 million gallon finished water storage tank with a new repump station.”
A growing population for Boynton Beach meant the project was able to upgrade to support potable water needs for a growing and thriving community for many years. This project also ensures that a long-term potable water supply will be both protected and delivered in a reliable manner.
The diversified water sources provided by this upgrade will help meet the community’s needs to reduce dependence on a surficial aquifer. Additionally, these upgrades will protect the drinking water supply from saltwater intrusion while benefiting the local environment.
Best management practices were employed during construction for both erosion and turbidity control. This included protecting surface and groundwater resources by preventing runoff and pollution from leaving the site, and specific plans were created for spill and leak prevention, with the city continually monitoring the groundwater and providing monthly reports on the results.
The project team worked with various local and state agencies, including the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission. The commission identified particular habitats either on or around the project site. They then assisted in relocating priority species such as the gopher tortoises to another suitable habitat. A 1.8-acre onsite preserve was also created with a program that specified the removal of all invasive tree and brush species.
The city has demonstrated a commitment to following principles of sustainability as well as sustainable performance improvement. In order to oversee the environmental needs of the community, a climate action plan and green task force were created. Mayor Steven Grant also signed the Mayor’s Climate Action Pledge. This made Boynton Beach a key partner in the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Compact.
Utilizing the progressive design-build delivery method, the project team increased collaboration between the design and construction teams. This, in turn, optimized project delivery by reducing design elements that may have been conflicting. The majority of design issues that were encountered were also resolved before construction took place, which assisted in decreasing the number of change orders during construction.

26,018,971 | You will have the greatest impact, influence and joy if your path emerges from deep self-understanding, writes Kerry Ann Rockquemore, who describes how to make such possibility mapping concrete.
Over the past four weeks, I’ve argued that you are most likely to make a positive transition from tenure-track to tenured faculty member by going back to basics. Remembering who you are and what you love must be the foundation for choosing your posttenure pathway, because you will have the greatest impact, influence and joy if your path emerges from deep self-understanding. While I designed this series for newly tenured faculty, I’m delighted to hear that readers who are long past promotion to associate professor are finding the process helpful in planning their next chapter.
Now that you have done the work to clarify who you are and what you love, it’s time to envision what possibilities exist for your posttenure future. It’s important to do this work with an open mind, a radical imagination and a spirit of creativity, because the energy you bring to this exercise will significantly impact the volume and range of possibilities you generate. This week, I want you to brainstorm all the different ways that you (knowing who you are) can imagine actualizing what you love in the world.
Please notice that I did not say, “Brainstorm what’s possible given a variety of constraints,” “Consider how you can meet everyone else’s needs before your own” or “Generate a list of what’s expected of you by others right now.” That means you’ll need to locate the off switch for your typical academic approach, because overanalysis, judgment and sarcasm have a way of castrating dreams. Instead, let’s play with unfettered brainstorming by letting loose and generating a wild range of possibilities -- without judging or evaluating them.
The question for this week is, “What does it look like to use your gifts and talents pointed in the direction of what you love?” In our Posttenure Pathfinders program, we approach mapping those possibilities as a brainstorming exercise. All you need to do is grab a piece of paper and write down in the center your answer to “Who am I?” Then draw at least 10 outward-facing arrows (those represent what you love). Then set a timer for 15 minutes and start imagining what it looks like to actualize who you are and what you love at multiple levels: 1) the micro level (direct service), 2) the organizational level (campuswide, community based and so on), and 3) the macro level (national and international).
Let me share an example to make possibility mapping concrete. Last week I wrote about Jane, a newly tenured faculty member at a research-intensive university who was surprised to discover that she experienced her greatest joy, highest energy and deepest sense of meaning in teaching-related activities. Her answer to “Who am I?” was “super teacher”! And what she loved was “transforming student’s lives.” But she felt conflicted about this discovery because her university doesn’t reward or value teaching, and she couldn’t imagine what possibilities existed for her posttenure pathway based on her new self-understanding.
Jane was willing to brainstorm the possibilities about what the future could look like for a super teacher who loves transforming students’ lives. When she did, she came up with the following list of what she could become in the next chapter of her career:
A workshop facilitator who travels to various campuses to train faculty members in extraordinary classroom teaching
A blogger or online community organizer for faculty who love teaching and want to share innovative ideas
In generating this list, Jane’s energy started to change from feeling disempowered (“what I love isn’t valued or rewarded on my campus, my university doesn’t value teaching, woe is me”) to excitement about the possible ways she could be her full self, do what she loves, make significant contributions and become a leader on (or beyond) her campus.
The possibilities you generate are likely to be different than Jane’s, because your baseline questions are distinct to you. What’s important is to start with who you are and what you love, and then imagine the various ways that can manifest on your campus, in your community and in the world. And if you get stuck -- or want to maximize the fun -- try this brainstorming exercise with a partner or in a group of supportive friends or colleagues.
While mapping possibilities can provide an energetic shift, I don’t want you to stop there. The next step is to identify at least three people who are currently doing each of the things you’ve imagined. These people are role models and, by definition, they must be alive (not historical figures), actively engaged in the activity you’ve described and capable of being contacted by phone in the next few weeks. (Sneak preview: we will be contacting them for a conversation, but more on that next week.)
You may notice that some resistance flares up when you start to identify role models. That’s OK. It’s perfectly normal to experience a bit of resistance within yourself during this activity. You’re already thinking outside your comfort zone by actively mapping potential pathways. Then when you start to identify people doing things that are exciting possibilities for your future, it may start to get real. Having done this exercise with many newly tenured faculty members, I’ve observed that resistance most commonly shows up as avoidance, procrastination, anger, fear and denial.
“(Whatever is the greatest challenge to you getting what you want) pisses me off, so I’m going to go complain about it on social media.” (Anger and avoidance)
“I’ll start working on (an exciting possibility) when I’m (full professor, more experienced, financially independent, an empty nester and/or perfect in every way).” (Procrastination)
“I don’t know how to (get from where I am to an exciting possibility) so I couldn’t possibly (do the most exciting thing).” (Denial)
All I ask you to do is notice when your limiting beliefs emerge and welcome them with open arms. It’s so much better to see these disempowering mind-sets for what they are: stories that we tell ourselves that limit us from even considering playing a bigger game. When I can see the ways that my own stories are controlling my behavior and keeping me small, I can choose to develop new stories that support exploration, experimentation, growth and change.
Spend 15 minutes wildly brainstorming possibilities about what you could become based on who you are and what you love.
Let it breathe for a few days and walk around in the knowledge that you have a bright future that is full of exciting possibilities and you get to choose which ones to pursue; and
Spend 30 minutes identifying accessible people who are doing the things you are considering as possible posttenure pathways and make sure you record their contact information.
I hope it’s clear by now that we’re working toward reversing the pattern that leads so many newly tenured faculty to flounder at midcareer: reactively responding to opportunities that are presented to them, overcommitting to things that are not aligned with who they are and what they love, and becoming part of other people’s agenda instead of choosing their own. I’m walking you through these steps so that you can consciously and intentionally chart your own posttenure path in a way that will best serve you and your campus.
LONG BEACH, Calif. -- It's not particularly hard to find a chief financial officer who can tell a story about being hired, running the numbers and then watching the chair of the board's jaw drop when he or she learns for the first time how far the institution is in debt.
What is harder is finding someone offering firm recommendations on the role CFOs should play in delivering the bad news, making sure administrators, faculty members and other leaders take it seriously, and then plotting a course to turn around a college.
But at least one session addressed the issue Monday at the National Association of College and University Business Officers’ annual meeting.
In short, if a college or university really wants to change its ways and find stronger financial footing, the CFO can't be sequestered in his or her office, filling out spreadsheets and running projections. He or she needs to be engaged with the institution's various constituencies -- and backed up by the college's president and its board.
“This isn't just a financial problem for the CFO to solve,” said Nick Wallace, director at BKD CPAs & Advisors and a trustee at Taylor University, in Indiana. “It's not just your problem. It's a problem that the whole institution has to solve together.”
That may sound like a truism in the world of higher education, where shared governance means multiple parties are supposed to have a say in any major university decisions. Yet in many situations where colleges have failed, it's been clear the lines of communication broke down somewhere between the senior financial officer, the rest of the administration and the campus at large.
Think of Saint Joseph’s College, in Indiana, which last year surprised many of its students, faculty members and alumni when it announced it had to suspend operations because of a financial crisis. Or Mount Ida College, in Massachusetts, which broke off merger talks with one college and then weeks later announced it was closing and selling its campus -- a plan B that few knew existed coming at a time when most were unaware the budget had reached a breaking point.
The CFO, president, provost and other cabinet members have to be in agreement about financial conditions and discuss those conditions with the board, Wallace said. Then the board has to agree as well.
“That is an issue at times,” Wallace said. “Does the president really believe you have a problem, and do they have faith in this plan to turn things around? Getting a president to that point is sometimes a very difficult thing to do.”
Identifying the characteristics of stress can help. Wallace listed 14 characteristics of financial and operational stress, like running deficits in three of the past five years, new student enrollment dropping by more than 10 percent, more than one cycle of midyear budget cuts, freshman tuition discount rates of more than 50 percent and declining cash reserves. He also listed signs of academic and leadership stress, like no new degree programs developed for at least two years, an institution on probation or warning with its accreditor, and a faculty with an average age of 58 or older.
“Being in a turnaround situation is a little bit like starting a 12-step program, because you have to recognize that there is a problem,” Wallace said. “That's not the easiest thing to do.”
The question of turning around a college isn't far-fetched in today's environment, of course. In a recent Inside Higher Ed survey, only 44 percent of chief business officers at four-year baccalaureate colleges said they were confident their colleges would be financially stable over the next 10 years, meaning confidence is down substantially from previous years. That same group of business officers was likely heavily represented in Monday's session, if a show of hands is to be believed. Most attendees in the room raised their hands when asked if they were at small to midsize institutions.
This year's NACUBO annual meeting slate was full of information about financial forecasting and modeling. A question that always follows is how the CFO can go from cooking up the forecasts to helping a college actually put changes in place.
For on-the-ground experience, Brandon Parker, the CFO of one college consulting with BKD, shared his experience. Parker is the CFO at Pacific Union College, a Seventh-day Adventist institution in the Napa Valley that enrolls about 1,200 students.
Enrollment has dropped by about one-third in three years, Parker said. The college was facing annual deficits of $5 million or more if it didn't make a changes. It's facing pressure from a declining number of graduates from the Adventist high schools it traditionally drew upon.
So it put in place a turnaround plan that included reductions in the number of full-time employees, operational improvements and some creative, if often incremental, new revenue sources.
Among the changes, it cut about 46 full-time-equivalent positions from its 2017-18 budget through retirements, attrition and involuntary separations to save close to $3 million. It made changes to its health-care benefits for employees, outsourced security and some property management, and decided to pursue a business running a commercial storage park. Storage is in heavy demand in the area, start-up costs are low, and the college thinks it can earn about $70,000 per year on the business before taxes.
Some of those moves might not fix the financial picture for the long term, but they can help bridge the gap.
“You've got to think outside the box,” Parker said. “Finance, let's be honest, sometimes moves faster than enrollment. What can we do in finance to make a difference as quickly as possible?”
The college also made decisions related to its long-term outlook, deciding not to sell parcels of valuable land. Leaders said the land was the college's endowment, and Parker indicated it can be utilized and monetized without selling it.
Pacific Union's leadership wants its CFO to give presentations to groups like the faculty about the financial situation. So he's sometimes been the face of bad news.
“You can't constantly be feeding people bad news or else you're going to kill morale,” Parker said. “So how do you juggle, ‘This is … the reason for the turnaround plan’ with, ‘OK, guys, here are the good things that are happening’?”
Giving the right information to the right groups is key, Parker added. So is providing enough context.
That was another point echoed by Inside Higher Ed's survey of business officers. Business officers who were not confident in their institution's future financial stability were less likely to say constituencies like students, faculty, staff and alumni were well informed about the situation. While 94 percent of business officers who were confident in their campus's 10-year outlook said constituents were given "accurate and sufficient" information, only 77 percent who were not confident said the same.
Parker recognizes that some believe he is moving too quickly at Pacific Union. Although some have been devastated by the changes, others are excited, he said.
“Some people have self-selected out and are not going to be coming back for this next school year because they just can't handle the change anymore,” Parker said. “Some are really energized by it.” |

This part covers the disaster loan programs authorized under the Small Business Act, 15 U.S.C. 636(b), (d), and (f); and 15 U.S.C. 657n. Since SBA cannot predict the occurrence or magnitude of disasters, it reserves the right to change the rules in this part, without advance notice, by publishing interim emergency regulations in the Federal Register.
SBA offers low interest, fixed rate loans to disaster victims, enabling them to repair or replace property damaged or destroyed in declared disasters. It also offers such loans to affected small businesses to help them recover from economic injury caused by such disasters. SBA also offers interim guaranteed disaster loans, in participation with financial institutions, to affected small businesses (“IDAP loans”). Disaster declarations are official notices recognizing that specific geographic areas have been damaged by floods and other acts of nature, riots, civil disorders, or industrial accidents such as oil spills. These disasters are sudden events which cause severe physical damage, and do not include slower physical occurrences such as shoreline erosion or gradual land settling. However, for purposes of economic injury disaster loans only, they do include droughts and below average water levels in the Great Lakes or on any body of water in the United States that supports commerce by small businesses. Sudden events that cause substantial economic injury may be disasters even if they do not cause physical damage to a victim's property. Past examples include ocean conditions causing significant displacement (major ocean currents) or closure (toxic algae blooms) of customary fishing waters, as well as contamination of food or other products for human consumption from unforeseeable and unintended events beyond the control of the victims.

(a) There are five ways in which disaster declarations are issued which make SBA disaster loans possible:
(1) The President declares a Major Disaster and authorizes Federal Assistance, including individual assistance (Assistance to Individuals and Households Program).
(2) If the President declares a Major Disaster limited to public assistance only, a private nonprofit facility which provides non-critical services under guidelines of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) must first apply to SBA for disaster loan assistance for such non-critical services before it could seek grant assistance from FEMA.
(3) SBA makes a physical disaster declaration, based on the occurrence of at least a minimum amount of physical damage to buildings, machinery, equipment, inventory, homes and other property. Such damage usually must meet the following tests:
(i) In any county or other smaller political subdivision of a State or U.S. possession, at least 25 homes or 25 businesses, or a combination of at least 25 homes, businesses, or other eligible institutions, each sustain uninsured losses of 40 percent or more of the estimated fair replacement value or pre-disaster fair market value of the damaged property, whichever is lower; or
(iii) The Governor of the State in which the disaster occurred submits a written request to SBA for a physical disaster declaration by SBA (OMB Approval No. 3245-0121). This request should be delivered to the Disaster Assistance Field Operations Center serving the jurisdiction within 60 days of the date of the disaster. The addresses, phone numbers, and jurisdictions served by the field operations centers are published in the Federal Register.
(4) SBA makes an economic injury disaster declaration in response to a determination of a natural disaster by the Secretary of Agriculture.
(5) SBA makes an economic injury declaration in reliance on a state certification that at least five small business concerns in a disaster area have suffered substantial economic injury as a result of the disaster and are in need of financial assistance not otherwise available on reasonable terms. The state certification must be signed by the Governor, must specify the county or counties or other political subdivision in which the disaster occurred, and must be delivered (with supporting documentation) to the Disaster Assistance Field Operations Center serving the jurisdiction within 120 days of the disaster occurrence. When a Governor certifies with respect to a drought or to below average water levels, the supporting documentation must include findings which show that conditions during the incident period meet or exceed the U.S. Drought Monitor (USDM) standard of “severe” (Intensity level D-2 to D-4). The USDM may be found at http://drought.unl.edu/dm/monitor. With respect to below average water levels, the supplementary information accompanying the certification must include findings which establish long-term average water levels based on recorded historical data, show that current water levels are below long-term average levels, and demonstrate that economic injury has occurred as a direct result of the low water levels. Not later than 30 days after SBA receives a certification by a Governor, it shall respond in writing with its decision and its reasons.
[61 FR 3304, Jan. 31, 1996, as amended at 64 FR 13667, Mar. 22, 1999; 67 FR 64518, Oct. 21, 2002; 71 FR 63676, Oct. 31, 2006; 71 FR 75409, Dec. 15, 2006; 73 FR 54675, Sept. 23, 2008; 81 FR 67903, Oct. 3, 2016]
Each disaster declaration defines the geographical areas affected by the disaster. Only those victims located in the declared disaster area are eligible to apply for SBA disaster loans. When the President declares a major disaster, the Federal Emergency Management Agency defines the disaster area. In major disasters, economic injury disaster loans and IDAP loans may be made for victims in contiguous counties or other political subdivisions, provided, however that with respect to major disasters which authorize public assistance only, SBA shall not make economic injury disaster or IDAP loans in counties contiguous to the disaster area. Disaster declarations issued by the Administrator of SBA include contiguous counties for both physical, economic injury and, in some cases, IDAP assistance. Contiguous counties or other political subdivisions are those land areas which abut the land area of the declared disaster area without geographic separation other than by a minor body of water, not to exceed one mile between the land areas of such counties.
(a) Disaster loans authorized under Section 7(b). SBA offers four kinds of disaster loans as authorized by Section 7(b) of the Small Business Act: Physical disaster home loans, physical disaster business loans, economic injury disaster business loans, and Military Reservist EIDL loans. SBA makes these loans directly or in participation with a financial institution. If a disaster loan authorized under Section 7(b) is made in participation with a financial institution, SBA's share in that loan may not exceed 90 percent.
(b) IDAP loans. SBA also offers IDAP loans as authorized by Section 42 of the Small Business Act. SBA makes these interim guaranteed disaster loans to small businesses only in participation with a financial institution. SBA's share in an IDAP loan is equal to 85 percent.
There must be reasonable assurance that you can repay your loan based on SBA's analysis of your credit or your personal or business cash flow, and you must also have satisfactory character. SBA will not make a loan to you if repayment depends upon the sale of collateral through foreclosure or any other disposition of assets owned by you. SBA is prohibited by statute from making a loan to you if you are engaged in the production or distribution of any product or service that has been determined to be obscene by a court.
You must use disaster loans to restore or replace your primary home (including a mobile home used as a primary residence) and your personal or business property as nearly as possible to their condition before the disaster occurred, and within certain limits, to protect damaged or destroyed real property from possible future similar disasters.
SBA does not charge points, closing, or servicing fees on any disaster loan authorized under Section 7(b). You will be responsible for payment of any closing costs owed to third parties on these loans, such as recording fees and title insurance premiums. If your loan is made under Section 7(b) in participation with a financial institution, SBA will charge a guarantee fee to the financial institution, which then may recover the guarantee fee from you. SBA does not charge a guarantee fee for an IDAP loan made under Section 42.
(a) For disaster loans authorized under Section 7(b), when SBA approves each application, it issues a loan authorization which specifies the amount of the loan, repayment terms, any collateral requirements, and the permitted use of loan proceeds. If you wrongfully misapply the proceeds of a disaster loan authorized under Section 7(b), you will be liable to SBA for one and one-half times the proceeds disbursed to you as of the date SBA learns of your wrongful misapplication. Wrongful misapplication means the willful use of any loan proceeds without SBA approval contrary to the loan authorization. If you fail to use loan proceeds for authorized purposes for 60 days or more after receiving a loan disbursement check, such non-use also is considered a wrongful misapplication of the proceeds.
(b) If SBA learns that you may have misapplied your loan proceeds from a disaster loan authorized under Section 7(b), SBA will notify you at your last known address, by certified mail, return receipt requested. You will be given at least 30 days to submit to SBA evidence that you have not misapplied the loan proceeds or that you have corrected any such misapplication. Any failure to respond in time will be considered an admission that you misapplied the proceeds. If SBA finds a wrongful misapplication, it will cancel any undisbursed loan proceeds, call the loan, and begin collection measures to collect your outstanding loan balance and the civil penalty.
(c) If you misapply loan proceeds of any disaster loan under this Part, including an IDAP loan, you may face criminal prosecution or civil or administrative action.
(1) Economic injury disaster loans. Generally, SBA will not require that you pledge collateral to secure an economic injury disaster loan of $25,000 or less.
(2) Physical disaster home and physical disaster business loans. Generally, SBA will not require that you pledge collateral to secure a physical disaster home or physical disaster business loan of $25,000 or less. This authority expires on November 25, 2018, unless extended by statute.
(4) Military Reservist EIDL. For the purposes of the Military Reservist EIDL only, as described in section 123.513, SBA will not generally require that you pledge collateral to secure a loan of $50,000 or less.
(b) For loans larger than the amounts outlined in paragraph (a) of this section, you will be required to provide available collateral such as a lien on the damaged or replacement property, a security interest in personal/business property, or both.
(c) Sometimes a borrower, including affiliates as defined in part 121 of this title, will have more than one loan after a single disaster. In deciding whether collateral is required, SBA will add up all physical disaster loans to see if they exceed the applicable unsecured threshold outlined in paragraph (a)(2) of this section and all economic injury disaster loans to see if they exceed $25,000.
(d) SBA will not decline a loan if you lack a particular amount of collateral as long as it is reasonably sure that you can repay your loan. If you refuse to pledge available collateral when requested by SBA, however, SBA may decline or cancel your loan.
(a) If SBA denies your loan application, SBA will notify you in writing and set forth the specific reasons for the denial. Any applicant whose request for a loan is declined for reasons other than size (not being a small business) has the right to present information to overcome the reason or reasons for the decline and to request reconsideration in writing.
(c) Any request for reconsideration must be received by SBA's Disaster Assistance Processing and Disbursement Center (DAPDC) within six months of the date of the decline notice. After six months, a new loan application is required.
(e) If SBA declines your application a second time, you have the right to appeal in writing to the Director, Disaster Assistance Processing and Disbursement Center. All appeals must be received by the processing center within 30 days of the decline action. Your request must state that you are appealing, and must give specific reasons why the decline action should be reversed.
(3) The AA/DA, upon a showing of special circumstances, requests that the Director, DAPDC, forward the matter to him or her for final consideration. Special circumstances may include, but are not limited to, policy considerations or alleged improper acts by SBA personnel or others in processing the application.
[61 FR 3304, Jan. 31, 1996, as amended at 71 FR 63676, Oct. 31, 2006; 75 FR 60598, Oct. 1, 2010; 81 FR 67903, Oct. 3, 2016]
(a) Under the Federal Debt Collection Procedures Act of 1990 (28 U.S.C. 3201(e)), a debtor who owns property which is subject to an outstanding judgment lien for a debt owed to the United States generally is not eligible to receive a disaster loan. The SBA Associate Administrator for Disaster Assistance, or designee, may waive this restriction as to disaster loans (except IDAP loans) upon a demonstration of good cause. Good cause means a written representation by you under oath which convinces SBA that:
If SBA required you to pledge collateral for your loan, you may change your mind and rescind your loan pursuant to the Consumer Credit Protection Act, 15 U.S.C. 1601, and Regulation Z of the Federal Reserve Board, 12 CFR part 226. Your note and any collateral documents signed by you will be canceled upon your return of all loan proceeds and your payment of any interest accrued. This provision does not apply to IDAP loans.
(a) If you obtained your disaster loan from a participating lender, that lender is responsible for closing and servicing your loan. If you obtained your loan directly from SBA, your loan will be closed and serviced by SBA. The SBA rules on servicing are found in Subpart H of this part and part 120 of this chapter.
As a condition of disbursement, you must be in compliance with certain requirements relating to flood insurance, lead-based paint, earthquake hazards, coastal barrier islands, and child support obligations, as set forth in §§120.170 through 120.175 of this chapter.
(a) Generally, SBA will consider your request for an increase in your loan if you can show that the eligible cost of repair or replacement of damages increased because of events occurring after the loan approval that were beyond your control. An eligible cost is one which is related to the disaster for which SBA issued the original loan. For example, if you discover hidden damage within a reasonable time after SBA approved your original disaster loan and before repair, renovation, or reconstruction is complete, you may request an increase. Or, if applicable building code requirements were changed since SBA approved your original loan, you may request an increase in your loan amount.
(b) For all disasters occurring on or after November 25, 2015, you may also request an increase in your loan if you suffered substantial economic damage or substantial risks to health or safety as a result of malfeasance in connection with the repair or replacement of real property or business machinery and equipment for which SBA made a disaster loan. See §123.105 for limits on home loan amounts and §123.202 for limits on business loan amounts. Malfeasance may include, but is not limited to, nonperformance of all or any portion of the work for which a contractor was paid, work that does not meet acceptable standards, or use of substandard materials.
SBA will consider your request for an increase in the loan amount if you can show that the increase is essential for your business to continue and is based on events occurring after SBA approved your original loan which were beyond your control. For example, delays may have occurred beyond your control which prevent you from resuming your normal business activity in a reasonable time frame. Your request for an increase in the loan amount must be related to the disaster for which the SBA economic injury disaster loan was originally made.
(a) You should request a loan increase as soon as possible after you discover the need for the increase, but not later than two years after SBA approved your physical disaster or economic injury loan. After two years, the SBA Associate Administrator for Disaster Assistance (AA/DA) may waive this limitation after finding extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances.
(b) For physical disaster loan increases requested under §123.18(b) as a result of malfeasance, the request must be received not later than two years after the date of final disbursement.
A mitigation measure is something done for the purpose of protecting property and occupants against disaster related damage. You may implement mitigation measures after a disaster occurs (post-disaster) to protect against recurring disaster related damage, or before a disaster occurs (pre-disaster) to protect against future disaster related damage. Examples of mitigation measures include building retaining walls, sea walls, grading and contouring land, elevating flood prone structures, relocating utilities, constructing a safe room or similar storm shelter (if such safe room or similar storm shelter is constructed in accordance with applicable standards issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency), or retrofitting structures to protect against high winds, earthquakes, flood, wildfires, or other physical disasters. Section 123.107 specifically addresses post-disaster mitigation for home disaster loans, and §123.204 specifically addresses post-disaster mitigation for businesses. Sections 123.400 through 123.412 specifically address pre-disaster mitigation.
(c) Your damaged property can be repaired or replaced with the proceeds of insurance, gifts or other compensation, including condemnation awards (with one exception), these amounts must either be deducted from the amount of the claimed losses or, if received after SBA has approved and disbursed a loan, must be paid to SBA as principal payments on your loan. You must notify SBA of any such recoveries collected after receiving an SBA disaster loan. The one exception applies to amounts received under the Individuals and Household Program of the Federal Emergency Management Agency solely to meet an emergency need pending processing of an SBA loan. In such an event, you must repay the financial assistance with SBA loan proceeds if it was used for purposes also eligible for an SBA loan;
(e) Your damaged property is a secondary home (although if you rented the property out before the disaster and the property would not constitute a “residence” under the provisions of Section 280A of the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. 280A), you may be eligible for a physical disaster business loan);
If you can obtain credit elsewhere, your interest rate is set by a statutory formula, but will not exceed 8 percent per annum. If you cannot obtain credit elsewhere, your interest rate is one-half the statutory rate, but will not exceed 4 percent per annum. Credit elsewhere means that, with your cash flow and disposable assets, SBA believes you could obtain financing from non-federal sources on reasonable terms. If you cannot obtain credit elsewhere, you also may be able to borrow from SBA to refinance existing recorded liens against your damaged real property. Under prior legislation, some SBA disaster loans had split interest rates. On any such loan, repayments of principal are applied first to that portion of the loan with the lowest interest rate.
(4) 20 percent of the verified loss (not including refinancing or malfeasance), before deduction of compensation from other sources, up to a maximum of $200,000 for post-disaster mitigation (see §123.107); and
For mitigation measures implemented after a disaster has occurred, you can request that the approved home disaster loan amount be increased by the lesser of the cost of the mitigation measure, or up to 20 percent of the verified loss (before deducting compensation from other sources), to a maximum of $200,000.
After a Presidential disaster declaration is made, you may be eligible for disaster assistance, including grant assistance, from the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Federal Assistance to Individuals and Households Program (IHP). After you register with FEMA for disaster assistance, FEMA will consider you for IHP assistance, which includes housing assistance grants to repair or replace your damaged primary residence and temporary housing assistance (including rental assistance) to assist you temporarily with a place to live, and assistance with personal property, medical, dental and funeral expenses. FEMA may also refer you to SBA to apply for loan assistance to help repair or rebuild your home and/or to replace personal property destroyed during the disaster. If SBA is unable to approve your loan application, or if you have damage in excess of the SBA loan amount, SBA may refer you, on a timely basis, to FEMA for IHP grant consideration to assist with your unmet personal property and transportation needs. If you are approved for the SBA disaster loan and you have received grant assistance that duplicates the damage covered by the SBA loan, such grant assistance must be deducted from your loan eligibility as described in section 123.101(c) of the regulations. All grant decisions are made by FEMA. Additionally, if additional disaster assistance is available from state, local or other agencies, SBA may refer you to the appropriate agency for consideration.
(a) You are not eligible for a physical disaster business loan if your business is an agricultural enterprise or if you (or any principal of the business) fit into any of the categories in §123.101. Agricultural enterprise means a business primarily engaged in the production of food and fiber, ranching and raising of livestock, aquaculture and all other farming and agriculture-related industries.
(a) Disaster business loans, including both physical disaster and economic injury loans to the same borrower, together with its affiliates, cannot exceed the lesser of the uncompensated physical loss and economic injury or $2 million. Physical disaster loans may include amounts to meet current building code requirements. If your business is a major source of employment, SBA may waive the $2 million limitation. A major source of employment is a business concern that has one or more locations in the disaster area, on or after the date of the disaster, which:
(1) Your damaged location or locations are out of business or in imminent danger of going out of business as a result of the disaster, and a loan in excess of $2 million is necessary to reopen or keep open the damaged locations in order to avoid substantial unemployment in the disaster area; and
(2) You have used all reasonably available funds from your business, its affiliates and its principal owners (20% or greater ownership interest) and all available credit elsewhere (as described in §123.104) to alleviate your physical damage and economic injury.
(e) The SBA Administrator may increase the $2 million loan limit for disaster business physical and economic injury loans under an individual disaster declaration based on appropriate economic indicators for the region(s) in which the disaster occurred. SBA will publish the increased loan amount in the Federal Register.
(a) SBA will announce interest rates with each disaster declaration. If your business, together with its affiliates and principal owners, has credit elsewhere, your interest rate is set by a statutory formula, but will not exceed 8 percent per annum. If you do not have credit elsewhere, your interest rate will not exceed 4 percent per annum. The maturity of your loan depends upon your repayment ability, but cannot exceed seven years if you have credit elsewhere.
(c) For certain disaster business physical and economic injury loans, an additional payment, based on a percentage of net earnings, will be required to reduce the balance of the loan. This additional payment will not be required until 5 years after repayment begins.
For mitigation measures implemented after a disaster has occurred, you can request an increase in the approved physical disaster business loan by the lesser of the cost of the mitigation measure, or up to 20 percent of the verified loss, before deducting compensation from other sources, to repair or replace your damaged business.
(b) Economic injury disaster loans are available only if you were a small business (as defined in part 121 of this chapter) or a private non-profit organization when the declared disaster commenced, you and your affiliates and principal owners (20% or more ownership interest) have used all reasonably available funds, and you are unable to obtain credit elsewhere (see §123.104).
(2) Satisfactory evidence from the State that the non-revenue producing organization or entity is a non-profit one organized or doing business under State law.
[61 FR 3304, Jan. 31, 1996, as amended at 67 FR 11880, Mar. 15, 2002; 70 FR 72595, Dec. 6, 2005; 73 FR 41254, July 18, 2008; 75 FR 14333, Mar. 25, 2010; 76 FR 63547, Oct. 12, 2011]
Your business is not eligible for an economic disaster loan if you (or any principal of the business) fit into any of the categories in §§123.101 and 123.201, or if your business is:
The Pre-Disaster Mitigation Loan Program allows SBA to make low interest, fixed rate loans to small businesses for the purpose of implementing mitigation measures to protect their commercial real property (building) or leasehold improvements or contents from disaster related damage. This program supports the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA's) Pre-Disaster Mitigation Program. This pilot program is authorized for 5 fiscal years (October—September), from 2000 through 2004, and has only been approved for limited funding. Therefore, approved loan requests are funded on a first come, first served basis up to the limit of program funds available (see §123.411).
To be included in a pre-disaster mitigation loan application, each of your business' mitigation measures must satisfy the following criteria:
(a) The mitigation measure, as described in the application, must serve the purpose of protecting your commercial real property (building) or leasehold improvements or contents from damage that may be caused by future disasters; and
(b) The mitigation measure must conform to the priorities and goals of the State or local government's mitigation plan for the community in which the business subject to the measure is located. To show that this factor is satisfied your business must submit to SBA, as a part of your complete application, a written statement from a State or local emergency management coordinator confirming this fact (see §123.408). Contact your regional FEMA office for a list of your State's emergency management coordinators or visit the FEMA Web site at http://www.fema.gov.
(b) Your business relocates outside the SFHA but remains in the same participating pre-disaster mitigation community. Contact your regional FEMA office for a listing of communities participating in the Pre-Disaster Mitigation Program and SFHAs or visit the FEMA Web site at http://www.fema.gov.
To be eligible to apply for a pre-disaster mitigation loan your business must meet each of the following criteria:
(a) Your business, which is the subject of the pre-disaster mitigation measure, must be located in a participating pre-disaster mitigation community. Each State, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands have at least one participating pre-disaster mitigation community. Contact your regional FEMA office to find out the locations of participating pre-disaster mitigation communities or visit the FEMA Web site at http://www.fema.gov.;
(b) If your business is proposing a mitigation measure that protects against a flood hazard, the location of your business which is the subject of the mitigation measure must be located in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). Contact your FEMA regional office to find out the locations of SFHAs or visit the FEMA Web site at http://www.fema.gov.;
(c) As of the date your business submits a complete Pre-Disaster Mitigation Small Business Loan Application to SBA (see §123.408 for what SBA's considers to be a complete application), your business, along with its affiliates, must be a small business concern as defined in part 121 of this chapter. The definition of small business concern encompasses sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations, limited liability entities, and other legal entities recognized under State law;
(d) Your business, which is the subject of the mitigation measure, must have operated as a business in its present location for at least one year before submitting its application;
(e) Your business, along with its affiliates and owners, must not have the financial resources to fund the proposed mitigation measures without undue hardship. SBA makes this determination based on the information your business submits as a part of its application; and
(f) If your business is owning and leasing out real property, the mitigation measures must be for protection of a building leased primarily for commercial rather than residential purposes (SBA will determine this based upon a comparative square footage basis).
Your business is ineligible to apply for a pre-disaster mitigation loan if your business (including its affiliates) satisfies any of the following conditions:
(a) Any of your business' principal owners is presently incarcerated, or on probation or parole following conviction of a serious criminal offense, or has been indicted for a felony or a crime of moral turpitude;
(b) Your business' only interest in the business property is in the form of a security interest, mortgage, or deed of trust;
(c) The building, which is the subject of the mitigation measure, was newly constructed or substantially improved on or after February 9, 1989, and (without significant business justification) is located seaward of mean high tide or entirely in or over water;
(d) Your business is an agricultural enterprise. Agricultural enterprise means a business primarily engaged (see §121.107 of this chapter) in the production of food and fiber, ranching and raising of livestock, aquaculture and all other farming and agriculture-related industries. Sometimes a business is engaged in both agricultural and non-agricultural business activities. If the primary business activity of your business is not an agricultural enterprise, it may apply for a pre-disaster mitigation loan, but loan proceeds may not be used, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of the agricultural activities;
(f) Your business is a government owned entity (except for a business owned or controlled by a Native American tribe);
(h) Your business engages in lending, multi-level sales distribution, speculation, or investment (except for real estate investment with property held for commercial rental);
(k) Your business derives more than one-third of its gross annual revenue from legal gambling activities;
(l) Your business is a loan packager that earns more than one-third of its gross annual revenue from packaging SBA loans;
(m) Your business principally engages in teaching, instructing, counseling, or indoctrinating religion or religious beliefs, whether in a religious or secular setting; or
Your business, together with its affiliates, may borrow up to $50,000 each fiscal year. This loan amount may be used to fund only those projects that were a part of your business' approved loan request. SBA will consider mitigation measures costing more than $50,000 per year if your business can identify, as a part of its Pre-Disaster Mitigation Small Business Loan Application, sources that will fund the cost above $50,000.
The interest rate on a pre-disaster mitigation loan will be fixed at 4 percent per annum or less. The exact interest rate will be stated in the Federal Register notice announcing each filing period (see §123.407).
SBA will publish a notice in the Federal Register announcing the availability of pre-disaster mitigation loans. The notice will designate a 30-day application filing period with a specific opening date and filing deadline, as well as the locations for obtaining and filing loan applications. In addition to the Federal Register, SBA will coordinate with FEMA, and will issue press releases to the local media to inform potential loan applicants where to obtain loan applications. SBA will not accept any applications postmarked after the filing deadline; however, SBA may announce additional application periods each year depending on the availability of program funds.
To apply for a pre-disaster mitigation loan your business must submit a complete Pre-Disaster Mitigation Small Business Loan Application (application) within the announced filing period. Complete applications mailed to SBA and postmarked within the announced filing period will be accepted. The complete application serves as your business' loan request. A complete application supplies all of the filing requirements specified on the application form including a written statement from the local or State coordinator confirming:
(a) The business that is the subject of the mitigation measure is located within the participating pre-disaster mitigation community; and
(b) The mitigation measure is in accordance with the specific priorities and goals of the local participating pre-disaster mitigation community in which the business is located. (The local or State coordinator's written statement does not constitute an endorsement or technical approval of the project and is not a guarantee that the project will prevent damage in future disasters).
(a) SBA will consider a loan request for funding if, after reviewing a complete application, SBA determines that it meets the following selection criteria:
(2) None of the conditions specified in §123.404 apply to your business, its affiliates, or principal owners;
(3) Your business has submitted a reasonable cost estimate for the proposed mitigation measure and has chosen to undertake a mitigation measure that is likely to accomplish the desired mitigation result (SBA's determination of this point is not a guaranty that the project will prevent damage in future disasters);
(5) There is a reasonable assurance of loan repayment in accordance with the terms of a loan agreement.
SBA will date stamp each application (loan request) as it is received. SBA will fund loan requests which meet the selection criteria specified in §123.409 on a first come, first served basis using this date stamp, until it has allocated all available program funds. Multiple applications received on the same day will be ranked by a computer based random selection system to determine their funding order. SBA will notify you in writing of its funding decision.
If SBA determines that your business' loan request meets the selection criteria of §123.409 but we are unable to fund it because we have already allocated all available program funds, your request will be given priority status, based on the original acceptance date, once more program funds become available. However, if more than 6 months pass since SBA determined to fund your request, SBA may request updated or additional financial information.
If SBA declines your business' loan request, SBA will notify your business in writing giving specific reasons for decline. If your business disagrees with SBA's decision, it may respond in accordance with §123.13. If SBA reverses its decision, SBA will use the date it received your business' last request for reconsideration or appeal as the basis for determining the order of funding.
(a) Essential employee is an individual (whether or not an owner of a small business) whose managerial or technical expertise is critical to the successful day-to-day operations of a small business.
(b) Military reservist is a member of a reserve component of the Armed Forces ordered to active duty during a period of military conflict.
(3) Market, produce or provide a product or service ordinarily marketed, produced or provided by the business. Loss of anticipated profits or a drop in sales is not considered substantial economic injury for this purpose.

(b) The owner of the business is a military reservist and an essential employee or the business employs a military reservist who is an essential employee,
(c) The essential employee has been called-up to active military duty during a period of military conflict existing on or after March 24, 1999,
(d) The business has suffered or is likely to suffer substantial economic injury as a result of the absence of the essential employee, and
(e) You and your affiliates and principal owners (20% or more ownership interest) have used all reasonably available funds, and you are unable to obtain credit elsewhere (see §123.104).
Your business is ineligible for a Military Reservist EIDL if it, together with its affiliates, is subject to any of the following conditions:
(a) Any of your business' principal owners has been convicted, during the past year, of a felony during and in connection with a riot or civil disorder;
(b) You have assumed the risk associated with employing the military reservist, as determined by SBA (for example, hiring the “essential employee” after the employee has received call-up orders or been notified that they are imminent);
(c) Any of your business' principal owners is presently incarcerated, or on probation or parole following conviction of a serious criminal offense;
(d) Your business is an agricultural enterprise. Agricultural enterprise means a business primarily engaged in the production of food and fiber, ranching and raising of livestock, aquaculture and all other farming and agriculture-related industries. (See 13 CFR 121.107, “How does SBA determine a concern's primary industry?”) Sometimes a business is engaged in both agricultural and non-agricultural business activities. If the primary business activity of the business is not an agricultural enterprise, it may apply for a Military Reservist EIDL, but loan proceeds may not be used, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of the agricultural enterprises;
(g) Your business presents live performances of a prurient sexual nature or derives directly or indirectly more than an insignificant gross revenue through the sale of products or services, or through the presentation of any depictions or displays, of a prurient sexual nature;

Your small business can apply for a Military Reservist EIDL any time beginning on the date your essential employee receives notice of expected call-up and ending one year after the date the essential employee is discharged or released from active duty. The Associate Administrator for Disaster Assistance (AA/DA) or designee may extend the one year limit by no more then one additional year after finding extraordinary or unforeseeable circumstances.
To apply for a Military Reservist EIDL you must complete a SBA Military Reservist EIDL application package (SBA Form 5R and supporting documentation can be obtained through SBA's Disaster Area Office) including:
(a) A copy of the essential employee's official call-up orders for active duty showing the date of call-up, and, if known, the date of release from active duty. For an essential employee who expects to be called up and who has not received official call-up orders, the application shall include the notice of the expected call-up including, if known, the expected date of call-up and expected date of release from active duty;
(b) A statement from the business owner that the reservist is essential to the successful day-to-day operations of the business (detailing the employee's duties and responsibilities and explaining why these duties and responsibilities can't be completed in the essential employee's absence);
(c) A certification by the essential employee supporting that he or she concurs with the business owner's statement as described in paragraph (b) of this section;
(d) A written explanation and financial estimate of how the call-up of the essential employee has or will result in economic injury to your business;
(f) The business owners' certification that the essential employee will be offered the same or a similar job upon the employee's return from active duty.
If you are both an essential employee and the owner of the small business and you started active duty before applying for an Military Reservist EIDL, a person who has a power of attorney with the authority to borrow and make other related commitments on your behalf, may complete and submit the EIDL loan application package for you.
You can borrow an amount equal to the substantial economic injury you have suffered or are likely to suffer until normal operations resume as a result of the absence of one or more essential employees called to active duty, up to a maximum of $2 million.
SBA will consider waiving the $2 million limit if you can certify to the following conditions and SBA approves of such certification based on the information supplied in your application:
(a) Your small business is a major source of employment. A major source of employment is a business concern that, on or after the date of the disaster:
(1) Employs 10 percent or more of the work force within the commuting area of the geographically identifiable community (no larger than a county) in which the business employing the essential employee is located, provided that the commuting area does not extend more than 50 miles from such community; or
(2) Employs 5 percent of the work force in an industry within such commuting area and, if the small business is a non-manufacturing small business, employs no less than 50 employees in the same commuting area, or if the small business is a manufacturing small business, employs no less than 150 employees in the commuting area; or
(b) Your small business is in imminent danger of going out of business as a result of one or more essential employees being called up to active duty during a period of military conflict, and a loan in excess of $2 million is necessary to reopen or keep open the small business; and
(c) Your small business has used all reasonably available funds from the small business, its affiliates, its principal owners and all available credit elsewhere to alleviate the small business' economic injury. Credit elsewhere means financing from non-Federal sources on reasonable terms given your available cash flow and disposable assets which SBA believes your small business, its affiliates and principal owners could obtain.
(c) Enable the business to market, produce or provide products or services ordinarily marketed, produced, or provided by the business, which cannot be done as a result of the essential employee's military call-up.
Your small business can not use Military Reservist EIDL funds for purposes described in §123.303(b) (See §123.303, “ How can my business spend my economic injury disaster loan?”).
If your small business does not use Military Reservist EIDL funds as authorized by §123.508, then §123.9 applies (See §123.9, “What happens if I don't use loan proceeds for the intended purpose?”).
Funds will be disbursed only after the essential employee has been called to active duty, and you have provided a copy of the essential employee's official call-up orders for active duty showing the date of the call-up. SBA will disburse your funds in quarterly installments (unless otherwise specified in your loan authorization agreement) based on a continued need as demonstrated by comparative financial information. On or about 30 days before your scheduled fund disbursement, SBA will request ordinary and usual financial statements (including balance sheets and profit and loss statements). Based on this information, SBA will assess your continued need for disbursements under this program. Upon making such assessment, SBA will notify you of the status of future disbursements.
The interest rate on a Military Reservist EIDL will be 4 percent per annum or less. SBA will publish the interest rate quarterly in the Federal Register.
SBA will not generally require you to pledge collateral to secure a Military Reservist EIDL of $50,000 or less. For loans larger than $50,000, you will be required to provide available collateral such as a lien on business property, a security interest in personal property, or both. SBA will not decline a loan if you do not have a particular amount of collateral so long as SBA is reasonably sure that you can repay the loan. If you refuse to pledge the available collateral when requested by SBA, however, SBA may decline or cancel your loan.
No. Notwithstanding §123.4, SBA may make economic injury disaster loans outside the declared disaster areas and the contiguous geographic areas to small business concerns that have suffered substantial economic injury as a direct result of the destruction of the World Trade Center or the damage to the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, or as a direct result of any related federal action taken between September 11, 2001 and October 22, 2001.
(a) If your business has suffered substantial economic injury as a direct result of the destruction of the World Trade Center or the damage to the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, or as a direct result of any related federal action taken between September 11, 2001 and October 22, 2001, you are eligible to apply for an economic injury disaster loan under this subpart.
(b) Economic injury disaster loans are available under this subpart only if you were a small business (as defined in part 121 of this chapter) on the date SBA accepts your application for processing (and for applications submitted before March 15, 2002, whether denied or pending, such applications shall be deemed resubmitted on March 15, 2002, you and your affiliates and principal owners (20% or more ownership interest) have used all reasonable available funds, and you are unable to obtain credit elsewhere (see §123.104).
(c) Eligible businesses do not include agricultural enterprises, but do include small agricultural cooperatives and producer cooperatives.
Your business is not eligible for an economic injury disaster loan under this subpart if you (or any principal of the business) fit into any of the categories in §§123.101 and 123.201, or if your business is:
(a) Engaged in lending, multi-level sales distribution, speculation, or investment (except for real estate investment with property held for rental on September 11, 2001);
Your economic injury disaster loan under this subpart will have an interest rate of 4 percent per annum or less.
(5) Pay dividends or other disbursements to owners, partners, officers, or stockholders, except for reasonable remuneration directly related to their performance of services for the business.
You have until January 22, 2002 to apply for a loan under this subpart. Your application must be postmarked no later than this date. SBA has the discretion, for good cause, to extend the application deadline by publication of a notice in the Federal Register.
Yes. Notwithstanding §123.20, you may request an increase in the amount of an economic injury disaster loan under this subpart not later than one year after the date SBA approves your initial request.
(a) The Immediate Disaster Assistance Program (IDAP) is a guaranteed disaster loan program for small businesses that have suffered physical damage or economic injury due to a Declared Disaster.

Contiguous Counties means the counties or other political subdivisions identified in the IDAP-Eligible Disaster Declaration as abutting the Primary Counties.
Credit Elsewhere means that the IDAP Borrower is able to address disaster losses using available personal or business resources or access to nonfederal lending sources at reasonable rates and terms.
Declared Disaster is a disaster event for which an IDAP-Eligible Disaster Declaration has been issued.
Declared Disaster Area means the Primary Counties and the Contiguous Counties identified for a particular Declared Disaster.
IDAP Lender is a financial institution participating in the IDAP loan program, subject to the requirements of this subpart.

IDAP-Eligible Disaster Declaration means a Major Disaster Declaration, SBA Administrative Disaster Declaration or SBA EIDL-Only Disaster Declaration in which SBA has indicated that IDAP loans are available.
Initial Period is the IDAP loan repayment period that begins upon the initial disbursement of an IDAP loan and ends upon (i) full repayment of the IDAP loan from the proceeds of the IDAP Borrower's Disaster Loan; (ii) SBA notice to the IDAP Lender of decline of the IDAP Borrower's Disaster Loan Application; or (iii) receipt by the IDAP Lender of partial repayment of the IDAP loan from the proceeds of the Disaster Loan; provided that if the IDAP loan has not been fully disbursed at such time, the Initial Period shall not end until the IDAP loan is fully disbursed.
Other Recoveries are other compensation for disaster losses and include, but are not limited to: Proceeds of policies of insurance or other indemnifications; grants or other reimbursement (including loans) from government agencies or private organizations; claims for civil liability against other individuals, organizations or governmental entities; gifts; condemnation awards; and salvage (including any sale or re-use) of items of disaster-damaged property. If an IDAP Borrower has voluntarily paid insurance recoveries to a recorded lienholder, the amount paid is considered to be Other Recoveries.
Primary Counties means the counties or other political subdivisions identified in the IDAP-Eligible Disaster Declaration as having been adversely affected by the disaster.
SBA Administrative Disaster Declaration means a disaster declaration issued under §123.3(a)(3) of this part.
SBA EIDL-Only Disaster Declaration means a disaster declaration issued under §123.3(a)(5) of this part.
Substantial Economic Injury exists when a business concern is unable to meet its obligations as they mature or to pay its ordinary and necessary operating expenses. Loss of anticipated profits or a drop in sales is not considered substantial economic injury.
(ii) Receipt by the IDAP Lender of partial repayment of the IDAP loan from the proceeds of the Disaster Loan; or
(iii) Final disbursement of the IDAP loan, whichever is later, and ends when the IDAP loan is repaid in full.
A prospective IDAP Borrower must apply to an IDAP Lender for an IDAP loan by the application deadline for prospective IDAP Borrowers established by SBA in the IDAP-Eligible Disaster Declaration. If the IDAP Lender approves the application, it must submit a request for IDAP loan approval to SBA by the application deadline for IDAP Lenders established by SBA in the IDAP-Eligible Disaster Declaration. SBA will issue an approval or a decline of the IDAP Lender's request within 36 hours of receipt by SBA. A prospective IDAP Borrower will receive notice of approval or decline of its loan application from the IDAP Lender. Notice of decline will include the reasons. If an IDAP loan is approved, a loan authorization will be issued.

If the IDAP Lender is notified before disbursement of the IDAP loan that the IDAP Borrower has received Other Recoveries, the IDAP Lender must decrease the approved amount of the IDAP loan by the amount of the Other Recoveries. If the IDAP Borrower's Disaster Loan is approved, SBA will contact the IDAP Lender when SBA is ready to disburse the Disaster Loan. Upon receipt of such notification by SBA, the IDAP Lender must cancel any remaining undisbursed amount of the IDAP loan.
(d) Repayment—(1) Initial Period. During the Initial Period, an IDAP Borrower will pay interest only on the disbursed principal balance of the IDAP loan. If SBA approves the IDAP Borrower's Disaster Loan application, SBA will require that the IDAP loan be repaid first from the proceeds of the Disaster Loan. If the IDAP Borrower receives Other Recoveries during the Initial Period, the IDAP Borrower must, in accordance with §123.703(h), remit the Other Recoveries to the IDAP Lender, and the IDAP Lender will apply the Other Recoveries to the IDAP loan. If the IDAP Borrower's Disaster Loan application is declined or if the amount of the approved Disaster Loan is insufficient to repay the IDAP loan in full, the remaining balance of the IDAP loan will be repaid during the Term Period as described in paragraph (2). The Initial Period ends upon (i) full repayment of the IDAP loan from the proceeds of the IDAP Borrower's Disaster Loan; (ii) SBA notice to the IDAP Lender of decline of the IDAP Borrower's Disaster Loan Application; or (iii) receipt by the IDAP Lender of partial repayment of the IDAP loan from the proceeds of the Disaster Loan; provided that if the IDAP loan has not been fully disbursed at such time, the Initial Period shall not end until the IDAP loan is fully disbursed. If an IDAP Borrower withdraws an application for a Disaster Loan, fails to close on an approved Disaster Loan or if the approved Disaster Loan is cancelled, the IDAP loan is immediately due and payable by the IDAP Borrower.
(2) Term Period. If SBA declines the IDAP Borrower's Disaster Loan application or the approved amount of the Disaster Loan is insufficient to repay the IDAP loan in full, the IDAP Borrower must pay principal and interest on the IDAP loan, with the IDAP loan balance to be fully amortized over a period that is at least 10 years from the date of final disbursement of the IDAP loan, but no more than 25 years from the date of final disbursement. The Term Period begins in the first month following SBA notice to the IDAP Lender of decline of the IDAP Borrower's Disaster Loan application, receipt by the IDAP Lender of partial repayment of the IDAP loan from the proceeds of the Disaster Loan, or final disbursement of the IDAP loan, whichever is later. Balloon payments are not permitted. The IDAP Borrower may prepay all or a portion of the principal during the life of the loan without penalty. If the IDAP Borrower receives Other Recoveries during the Term Period, the IDAP Borrower must, in accordance with §123.703(h), remit the Other Recoveries to the IDAP Lender, and the IDAP Lender will apply the Other Recoveries to the IDAP loan.
(e) Interest rate—(1) Initial Period. The maximum interest rate an IDAP Lender may charge an IDAP Borrower during the Initial Period will be published by SBA in the Federal Register from time to time. This rate must be a fixed rate.
(2) Term Period. The maximum interest rate an IDAP Lender may charge an IDAP Borrower during the Term Period will be published in the Federal Register from time to time. The IDAP Lender may charge either a fixed or a variable rate during the Term Period.
(f) Number of IDAP loans per small business. No small business (including affiliates) may obtain more than one IDAP loan per Declared Disaster. The provisions of §120.151 do not apply to IDAP loans.
(g) Personal guarantees. Holders of at least a 20 percent ownership interest in the IDAP Borrower must guarantee the IDAP loan.

(8) Repair or replace property not located within the Declared Disaster Area at the time of the Declared Disaster;

(a) IDAP Lender Fees. An IDAP Lender must not impose any fees or direct costs on an IDAP Borrower, except for the following allowed fees or direct costs:
(3) An application fee not to exceed $250. Notwithstanding the provisions of 13 CFR 103.5, no compensation agreement is required for the application fee. If an undisbursed IDAP loan is cancelled pursuant to §123.703(c), the IDAP Lender may retain the application fee.
(c) Prohibition on paid loan packagers, referral agents or brokers. Other than the application fee set forth in (a)(3) of this section, no IDAP Lender or third party may charge an IDAP Borrower a fee to assist in the preparation of an IDAP loan application or application materials.

(a) IDAP Lenders. An IDAP Lender must be a 7(a) Lender (as defined in §120.10). Notwithstanding the provisions of §120.470(a), a Small Business Lending Company (SBLC) that is a 7(a) Lender may make IDAP loans. An IDAP Lender must sign a supplemental Loan Guarantee Agreement for the IDAP loan program. An IDAP Lender must comply and maintain familiarity with the IDAP Loan Program Requirements, as such requirements are revised from time to time. IDAP Loan Program Requirements in effect at the time that an IDAP Lender takes an action in connection with a particular IDAP loan govern that specific action. With respect to their activities in the IDAP loan program, IDAP Lenders are subject to the requirements of §§120.140 (What ethical requirements apply to participants?), 120.197 (Notifying SBA's Office of Inspector General of suspected fraud), 120.400 (Loan Guarantee Agreements), 120.410 (Requirements for all participating Lenders), 120.411 (Preferences), 120.412 (Other services Lenders may provide Borrowers), and 120.413 (Advertisement of relationship with SBA) of this chapter. An IDAP Lender and its contractor(s) are independent contractors that are responsible for their own actions with respect to an IDAP loan. SBA has no responsibility or liability for any claim by an IDAP Borrower, guarantor or other party alleging injury as a result of any allegedly wrongful action taken by an IDAP Lender or an employee, agent or contractor of an IDAP Lender.
(b) Delegated authority. An IDAP loan must be processed, serviced and liquidated under an IDAP Lender's delegated authority provided by the supplemental Loan Guarantee Agreement for the IDAP loan program. Non-delegated processing is not available for the IDAP loan program. An IDAP Lender is responsible for all IDAP loan decisions regarding eligibility (including size) and creditworthiness. In determining creditworthiness, an IDAP Lender must use the existing practices and procedures that the IDAP Lender uses for its non-SBA guaranteed commercial loans of a similar size. The IDAP Lender's existing practices and procedures must be appropriate and generally accepted, proven and prudent credit evaluation processes and procedures, which may include credit scoring, and must ensure that there is reasonable assurance of repayment. In disbursing the IDAP loan, the IDAP Lender must use the same disbursement procedures and documentation as it uses for its similarly sized non-SBA guaranteed commercial loans. An IDAP Lender is also responsible for confirming that all IDAP loan processing, closing, servicing and liquidation decisions are correct and that all IDAP Loan Program Requirements have been followed.
(c) IDAP Lender reporting. An IDAP Lender must report on its IDAP loans in accordance with requirements established by SBA from time to time.
(d) Servicing. Each IDAP Lender must service all of its IDAP loans in accordance with the existing practices and procedures that the IDAP Lender uses for its non-SBA guaranteed commercial loans. In all circumstances, such practices and procedures must be commercially reasonable and consistent with prudent lending standards and in accordance with IDAP Loan Program Requirements. SBA's prior written consent is required for servicing actions that may have significant exposure implications for SBA. SBA may require written notice of other servicing actions it considers necessary for portfolio management purposes.
(e) Liquidations. Each IDAP Lender must be responsible for liquidating its defaulted IDAP loans. IDAP loans will be liquidated in accordance with the existing practices and procedures that the IDAP Lender uses for its non-SBA guaranteed commercial loans. In all circumstances, such practices and procedures must be commercially reasonable and consistent with prudent lending standards and in accordance with IDAP Loan Program Requirements. IDAP loans with de minimis value may, at the IDAP Lender's request and with SBA's approval, be liquidated by SBA or its agent(s). Significant liquidation actions taken on IDAP loans must be documented. The reimbursement of IDAP Lender liquidation expenses is limited to the amount of the recovery on the IDAP loan.
(f) Purchase requests. An IDAP Lender may request SBA to purchase the guaranteed portion of an IDAP loan when there has been an uncured payment default exceeding 60 days or when the IDAP Borrower has declared bankruptcy. IDAP loans are subject to the 7(a) loan program requirements of §§120.520 (Purchase of 7(a) loan guarantees), 120.521 (What interest rate applies after SBA purchases its guaranteed portion?), 120.522 (Payment of accrued interest to the Lender or Registered Holder when SBA purchases the guaranteed portion), 120.523 (What is the “earliest uncured payment default”?), 120.524 (When is SBA released from liability on its guarantee?), 120.542 (Payment by SBA of legal fees and other expenses) and 120.546 (Loan asset sales) of this chapter.
(g) Prohibition on secondary market sales, securitizations, loan participations and loan sales. An IDAP Lender may not sell the guaranteed portion of an IDAP loan in the secondary market, securitize the unguaranteed portion of an IDAP loan, participate any portion of an IDAP loan with another lender, or sell all of its interest in an IDAP loan.
(h) Loan pledges. An IDAP Lender may pledge an IDAP loan subject to the 7(a) loan program requirements of §§120.434 and 120.435 of this chapter.
(i) Oversight. All IDAP Lenders are subject to the supervision and enforcement provisions applicable to 7(a) Lenders in part 120, subpart I of this chapter (§§120.1000 through 120.1600). In addition, an IDAP Lender that is an SBA Supervised Lender (as defined in §120.10) is subject to the requirements of §§120.460 through 120.490, as applicable.
This paper examines Paul Miller's work Errata Erratum in the context of broader assertions linking Miller's work with composers such as Steve Reich and John Cage. The paper discusses the ways in which Miller's work has been positioned within an avant-garde or experimental art music tradition with regard to the creation, recording and performance of musical works. The paper identifies several similarities between Miller's work and that of Cage and Reich but argues these might be best understood as congruencies resulting from parallel but distinct musical traditions. Consequently, this paper suggests it is appropriate to be wary of narratives that seek to position genres or practitioners of Electronica as extensions of an experimental or avant-garde musical tradition. |
259,701,135 | The gallery's second New York location opened with Lou's first solo exhibit in the city in a decade.
Artist Liza Lou didn’t have to look far to find the inspiration for her latest solo show, “Classification and Nomenclature of Clouds.”
“I noticed I was always looking up,” says Lou. “And sometimes when you have an obsession, you think it’s not related to your work; it’s just something you’re really interested in. So I didn’t think, oh, this is my next project.”
The Los Angeles-based artist’s exhibition is kicking off the second Lehmann Maupin gallery space in Manhattan on West 24th Street, designed by Peter Marino. The show marks Lou’s first solo New York show in a decade, and is a continuation of the artist’s exploration of beads as a fine-art material. A subsequent exhibition of her other bead-based work is displayed in a side room of Lehmann Maupin on West 22nd Street.
“Working with glass beads as a primary art material for so many years, I’m always surprised that the material keeps on asking for something that I didn’t know it was asking for,” she says of her process. “When I start a new project, it’s never a given that I’ll work with beads,” she continues. “Every single time, I end up getting inspired again by this material — it just keeps having more depth for me, and more that could happen with it. I wouldn’t choose to work with beads if I had a choice: it’s really difficult, they take a really long time to work with, they’re superexpensive, they require your life to change in a dramatic way.”
Lou also recently relocated back to L.A. after spending a decade in South Africa, where she established a studio with local beadwork artisans. She continues to work in collaboration with her studio, which helps her create the beaded canvases on which she painted for her latest work, which explores the symbolism of looking up and reflects upon the dramatic cloud patterns visible in Durban, South Africa versus L.A. “I just found myself more and more [that] I’d be in a fraught situation in an urban environment, and you can just look up,” she says. “If you look up, there’s a sense of aspiration to doing that. So I began to paint [clouds] onto these woven clothes,” she explains. “It has all of this deep resonance, so to paint clouds, something that’s very ethereal, on top of something that’s really so material…it just led to this whole exploration around painting and sculpture and dissolving these boundaries around what makes a painting and what makes a sculpture. And then I started to take out my hammer and smash the beads off of the thread.”
The show includes a video installation, which represents a new medium for Lou: singing. She and her studio in South Africa would sing gospel songs as they worked together around a table, and after moving back to L.A. she decided to integrate the practice into her publicly exhibited work. “Coming back to L.A and being alone, I suddenly noticed that I do that, and I’ve probably been doing it for 20 years — I just noticed that I do it because I was suddenly really alone,” she says of singing while creating.
She describes the video, which features her singing as she draws, as a soundtrack of her working life; certain days she draws in the “key of C,” others in the “key of E.” The piece also connects her back to her studio, as they work together from afar.
“For many years, my gesture was sort of subsumed in the gesture of the entire studio team. We would be weaving and sewing together, but you wouldn’t see my own signature on it…my own hand was part of the whole tsunami of labor,” she says. Back in L.A., Lou began taking the woven clothes and tracing over each bead. “I wanted to stay with my team. I wanted to say, ‘I see you,’ I’m here, I’m still with you, we’re together still; holding hands across the miles.”
Robert Snodgrass bagged a brace as Socceroos captain Mile Jedinak's Aston Villa made it two wins in three days after thrashing Bailey Wright's promotion hopefuls Bristol City 5-0.
Scott Hogan opened the scoring midway through the first half for Villa, who defeated Middlesbrough on Saturday, before Snodgrass struck in the 34th minute and then again on the hour to leave the Robins reeling.
City could have moved up to second in the standings with a win but they slip a place to fourth after shipping two more goals, with substitute Birkir Bjarnason (72) and Conor Hourihane (85) completing the rout as Villa moved up to fifth.
Both Socceroos played a full 90 minutes on Monday, as Villa moved into one of the promotion playoff berths.
Earlier, Leon Clarke denied Derby the chance to eat into Championship leaders Wolves' advantage as Sheffield United claimed a point at Pride Park.
Matej Vydra had fired the home side into a 24th-minute lead from the penalty spot after George Baldock had fouled Johnny Russell, but Clarke's header 12 minutes after the restart secured a 1-1 draw and cost the second-placed Rams two precious points.
Fourth-placed Cardiff were also unable to defend a lead and suffered a fourth defeat in a row as they went down 2-1 at lowly QPR.
Joe Ralls' 54th-minute spot-kick handed the visitors the lead, but Matt Smith levelled within eight minutes to set the stage for debutant Paul Smyth to win it with 18 minutes remaining.
Socceroos midfielder Massimo Luongo was lively throughout, helping to set up a chance for Smyth, who later returned the favour for the Australian.
It proved a frustrating afternoon too for Leeds, who were held to a 0-0 draw by Nottingham Forest at Elland Road as they failed to bounce back from Saturday's defeat at bottom-of-the-table Birmingham.
Middlesbrough were the big winners as they climbed to within a point of the play-off places courtesy of new manager Tony Pulis' first victory in a five-goal thriller at Preston.
Sheffield Wednesday's dreadful run of form continued as they lost for the fifth time in six games 3-0 at home to struggling Burton.
There was joy for Bolton, who eased themselves out of the bottom three with a 1-0 victory over Hull with Gary Madine's first-half free-kick doing the damage.
Sunderland's plight deepened as they slipped back into the drop zone after a 1-0 home defeat by Barnsley while James Maddison was Norwich's match-winner as they came from behind to see off Millwall 2-1 at Carrow Road. |
235,836,356 | At its December 17, 2016 meeting the Chapter reviewed the reading of St Dominic by Fr Alban Butler in the 1859 edition of his works. The reading is a short yet thorough review of St Dominic's life. The Chapter also reviewed the Saturday biblical reading from Genesis 42:2-8-10 and Matthew 1:1-17.
At the meeting's end the Chapter discussed the proper view we should have for one another and for our family and other people in this world who are our neighbors. We cannot ignore--as the world does--the fallen nature of his mankind; but we can view others through a Catholic or biblical worldview in contrast to a political or a secular ideological worldview. The source of a Catholic worldview is the Truth.
The manner of speaking to others from a Catholic worldview is not to condemn others, or commit gossip, calumny, or detraction, but to see other people as Christ sees other people.
The world and those who accept the world's perspective views other people through the lense of judgment, condemnation, status or politics. A good example of this error is the political worldview the moral case of abortion.
As a Catholic, we understand the moral absolute that the killing of the innocent is always wrong and we do not weigh it against the relative nature of other morals rights or wrongs. The worldly political view will always engage some truth from a relative point of view.
In the end the Catholic worldview looks to the Truth and applies it to the world we live in in charity; where a political or ideological worldview will ultimately give excuse to moral depravity and sin.
The Requiem Mass in the Extraordinary Form requires a few different things that the funeral Mass in the Ordinary Form. Thinks like black vestments and a black pall, a catafalque, and six candle stands that surround the catafalque are items beyond what is used in any other Mass in the Extraordinary Form, and even a priest who offers it occasionally is less likely to have these things.
So when a member of our chapter decided to honor her mother with a Requiem Mass, we set to work locating the items we did not already have, and figuring out how to make do with what we did not have.
We did pretty good finding everything, but by 10AM on the day of the Requiem Mass, we still did not have confirmed that we had located candle stands we could borrow. I had a physical therapy appointment at 11AM and was ready to trust in God's providence that they would "appear", much as everything else had.
Wiser counsel (read: spouse) prevailed, and after being dropped off at PT, Pam went to Hobby Lobby and, with their counsel, acquired piece/parts. After picking me up we went to Home Depot and picked up some more parts. We had lunch, and at 3PM with my future son-in-law's help and grandson's critical supervision began assembling. An hour and a half later they were complete, and with an extra hour of drying time in the house, they were ready to stack in the trunk of the car!
So if you are scouring the internet trying to figure out how to make the six candle stands for the catafalque for a Requiem Mass, know that it is possible in a pinch to put something together for a modest cost that may not be the prettiest, but won't distract by being hideous or by being absent.
we started with a 10" square pine base. the base is routered on the edge to give it a nicer look. these were from Hobby Lobby. to the base we attached a 4"block. those were cut at Home Depot from an 8 foot 4x4 - which meant we had to purchase the whole thing, but hey... Montana (my mentioned soon to be relative) measured, drilled, and double screwed the block to the base.
Meanwhile, I used a belt sander to more or less smooth off the roughness from the bases, blocks, and tops. I didn't mention the tops. they are 4" squares of pine, also from Hobby Lobby, that match the base pieces.
Pam didn't get a picture of attaching the main part to the base. we used a doubly ended screw. After drilling the block and screwing it half way in, we drilled the main part and screwed it onto the block. Ah, the main part. that was the fun bit. They are stair balusters from Home Depot. They had oak and hickory in stock, but the hickory was under $7 while the oak were about $10 so we went with the hickory. The candle cups at the top were also from Hobby Lobby. they are simple turned wood, and even have a hole in the center. We used a #10 2" wood screw to screw the cups through the predrilled holes in the top and spindle.
The sales clerk at Home Depot talked Pam into purchasing spray paint designed for a wood stove. There was expressed a fear of vapors flashing and starting a fire!
BTW, the Roman Rite bus is still in the driveway; the battery (6 years old) finally gave up the ghost... but she'll bump start rolling down the driveway backwards and I'll take her in soon for a battery and other winter service that is due.
It was only about 50 degrees outside, and the dry unprimed wood soaked up the paint very quickly. Yes I know, shame on me but time was of the essence. A light coat of paint covered well and was dry to the touch within minutes.
We brought them inside and put them on the dining room table (we have a high ceiling), turned a box-fan on them, and set the house heat higher. An hour later we were dressed, the new candle stands were in the trunk, and off to Mass we went! the finished result:
The pall was borrowed. It was beautiful. I haven't confirmed it but I'm pretty sure it's this one from Poland.
SUMMATION of the Blessed Margaret of Castello Chapter meeting, Saturday, November 19, 2016 at St. Mark's Catholic Church in Boise. The readings for the meeting were from "The Bridge" section of The Dialog from St. Catherine of Siena and a short biography of St Albert the Great, his feast having been celebrated this past November, 15, 2016.
"The Bridge" per The Dialog, is the span between earth and Heaven, Jesus Christ being the Bridge. This teaching from God the Father through St. Catherine is worth reading and reflecting on in prayers; as it bears the testimony and reflection of the Holy Scriptures. God the Father calls each of us when He tells St. Catherine that "[y]ou who have the gift of reason were made not for yourselves but for me, to serve me with all your heart and all your love."
The call to faith and to reason is resounded in the study of St. Albert the Great who lived in the 12th Century. As a key originator of the scientific method St. Albert was a "universal Doctor" or teacher not only of the queen of all sciences, theology, but also the study of all physical sciences. As St Albert taught, reason is a gift from God--to understand the natural and physical world and. Faith is given to us to learn of divine and eternal things. God may be discovered through the light of reason; but to ultimately know Him and the Knowledge of God is in Faith.
If people see Faith as opposed to reason, rationalism arises. It admits to no objective truth. All is relative in time. Human life becomes cheap, men and women become objects to be manipulated, and the immoral killing of innocent persons becomes the norm. Expediency is the measure of ethics and politics.
On the other hand, if people abandon reason, and look to faith alone, feelings and experiences become the measure of truth. Mysticism and superstition arise. Erroneous understanding of salvation becomes evident. The universal Faith that guides the World is abandoned and each person becomes the priest and prophet of his or her own church.
The Holy Scriptures tell us to worship God the Father, in spirit and in truth. This love of truth is to come to know a loving God, and it enables us to bear with our neighbors in truth and most certainly in Love.
Lay Dominicans strive to comprehend the wonders of the created order but also the truths of the Faith; to grasp the goodness and beauty of God--on the path with their neighbor to Holiness.
Fr Vincent Kelber OP is the Pastor of Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Parish and Prior of Holy Rosary Priory in Portland, Oregon. Father will be here for the Blessed Margaret of Castello Chapter of the Dominican Third Order, which will hold professions at Our Lady of the Valley starting at 10:30AM on Saturday, October 15, 2016.
The Order of Preachers was founded in 1216 by St Dominic, to combat the error and heresy of the age which was rendering the Church and causing the loss of souls. The Order has giving the Church such luminaries as Ss. Thomas Aquinas, Albert the Great, Catherine of Sienna, Vincent Ferrer, and Martin de Porres. This year the Order is celebrating its 800th anniversary! As part of this celebration, Father Vincent will be offering Mass in the Dominican Rite, which is the ancient rite of the Order, at 7:30PM on Friday, October 14, 2016 at Sacred Heart. |
204,153,048 | Alicia and Dan had such a beautiful intimate Squantum Association East Providence Rhode Island Wedding this past Friday! After a really windy engagement session, I was so THRILLED that we got near perfect weather on their wedding day! With great weather and a gorgeous venue we had some pretty amazing sunset romantic bride and groom portraits. The sunset painted the sky with the most beautiful ombre combination of pink and orange hues. I kept telling them “you guys this is absolutely amazing and just perfect!” These are some of my favorite bride and groom portraits for sure!
There were so many new things that I had the pleasure to witness and photograph besides a new favorite venue. Alicia and Dan had a bag piper playing as quests were being seated as well as a celebratory firing of the canon at the end of the ceremony!! Man was it loud but it was pretty cool to photograph! I loved how she chose to incorporate sunflowers in her wedding florals in honor of her mother and sister. She and Dan also requested that guests do a toast in honor of her mom and sister. Alicia wore her grandmothers pearls and her aunt’s earrings to complete her stunning bridal look. Each dinner table was given a name of place where they have traveled together! Which is such a great way to assign tables rather than just giving a table number! Even with all the fun, unique and honorary touches to the wedding day, my favorite has to be Alicia’s first look with her dad! It was so hard trying not to cry as Alicia walked towards her dad. Her dad just hugged her so tightly and he fought back his tears, unlike the rest of us!
Getting the opportunity to travel to Rhode Island for Alicia and Dan’s wedding was so amazing. It was the second time that I had the chance to see them and when it came time for us to say goodbye and hug (as I do with all my sweet couples), I couldn’t help but tear up. Ever since meeting them on the Outer Banks for their engagement session it was if we had known each other forever. And here we were saying goodbye again! It was heartbreaking because Alicia and Dan are most certainly one of those couples that have turned into friends. Thank goodness they have family on the Outer Banks! Because I would be so sad if we didn’t ever get to see each other again!
I couldn’t have asked for a better way to start my dream of being a destination wedding photographer than with Alicia and Dan’s wedding! You’re going to fall in love with this sweet couple and their wedding day! Enjoy seeing a few of my favorites from the wedding! Help me in congratulating Alicia and Dan by leaving a little love for them at the end of the post!
As the holidays approach, people are inundated with goodies. You see the goodies at the grocery store and there are commercials galore showing decadent treats. When it comes to delicious homemade holiday treats, you can make these and become a ‘goody’ hero to your family and friends.
One of the easiest holiday treats to make is cookies. There are so many varieties to choose from. Sugar cookies are enjoyed by almost everyone. You can also dress them up by adding frosting or candies. Here’s a simple sugar cookie recipe:
Begin by mixing the dry ingredients together in a bowl. In a large bowl, beat the egg and then add the butter and sugar, beating until creamy. Add the vanilla followed by the dry ingredients in small amounts, and stir to ensure the mixture is incorporated.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thick. Using cookie cutters, cut out the shapes and place them on an ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle the sugar (colored or not) on top of the cookies before baking them in a 375 degree oven. These will bake for about 8 minutes.
Remove the cookies from the baking sheet and gently press the candies into the cookies while they’re still warm. Allow them to cool and then arrange them on a plate or in a box if they’re to be given as a gift.
Have you priced granola lately? It can seem so expensive to enjoy wholesome granola, but it doesn’t have to be. This recipe will make 15 cups of granola – enough for you to enjoy and share with loved ones.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients, except the butter and honey, in a large bowl. In a saucepan, heat the butter and honey over medium heat. Pour this over the granola and toss to mix thoroughly. Spread the granola on a lined baking pan and bake until the oats look toasted and the sugar caramelizes. This will take 35-40 minutes. Stir occasionally. Allow the granola to cool and then store it in an airtight container.
Place the ingredients, except cinnamon sticks, in a bowl and mix them well. Place the mixture in an airtight container where it can be stored for about six months.
To enjoy the cocoa, put two tablespoons of the mix into 1/4 cup water and heat it over medium heat on the stove. When it has dissolved completely, add 3/4 cup of milk and a cinnamon stick. Whisk thoroughly and enjoy!
Delicious handmade holiday treats aren’t difficult to make. If you choose to make one or more of the above treats, don’t forget to share. Isn’t that what people look forward to most at the holidays? |

This week in the Village Voice’s Theater section, Michael Feingold braves William Inge’s Dark at the Top of the Stairs. Feingold has especially uplifting words for the productions director, Jack Cummings III, “He has not only given an elegantly spare, contemporary feel to a work that in other hands might have seemed heavy and archaic, but he has infused it, through his cast, with a gorgeously sculpted emotionality that recalls, not inappositely, Elia Kazan, who directed the original production of Inge’s play a half-century ago.” Seeing the Pirate Queen, Feingold buckles (but doesn’t swash) under the weight of “he sedative powers of this lump of aesthetic Ambien.” He’s far happier facing Face the Music, a Hart and Berlin revival in the Encores! Series.
As for my own playgoing, I would happily have asked for more of Neil Bartlett’s Oliver Twist, a joyfully grim adaptation, which offers many pleasures but does fail to awake interest in priggish Oliver himself. I also thought about fleeing Fugue, Lee Thuna’s inane investigation of amnesia.

We were wondering what all those helicopters, fire trucks and police cars near Avenue D were about last night. Looks like we may have our answer and it doesn’t look pretty.
Early yesterday evening, two different persons were stabbed deep in Alphabet City. Luckily, both encounters were non-fatal.
At 8:30pm, a 50-year-old suspect Cornado Speck was arrested and is being accused of assaulting a man in the East River Park on East 8th Street and the FDR Drive. According to the Times’ Local East Village blog, Speck and the victim got into a heated argument that unfortunately ended in bloodshed.
The second attack came 45 minutes later (9:15pm or so) near the Fine Fare supermarket on East 4th Street and Avenuce C – just a few blocks down from the first stabbing. According to a reader on EV Grieve, seven undercover cops pursued and caught a man in a baseball cap while the victim was taken to Bellevue to be treated for his wounds.
A tipster for EV Grieve posted a few pictures, taken last night as well as this morning, and they show a trail of blood in the back of the supermarket. And the owner of the Fine Fare refused to clean it, citing that it was not his responsible to clean up a crime scene. NYPD officials showed up this morning and gauzed down the site. Here’s one of the shots just as a glimpse of what happened:
The police officials at the incidents have not given any more information as to what caused the other stabbing or the suspect involved’s name.
Regardless, the two stabbings happened early in areas that are normally packed with people, especially on a Saturday evening in the summer. And that is a scary thought. |

PASCO COUNTY, FL (WCSC) - The body of a Hollywood man who had not been heard from since January was located in Florida on Sunday, according to the Charleston County Sheriff's Office.
The body of Bruce Allen Damon, 54, was discovered in Pasco County, Florida, which is just north of Tampa, according to Charleston County Sheriff's Maj. Eric Watson.
Authorities had been searching for Damon since February. He told one of his children on Jan. 29 that he felt ill, and this was the last time anyone had heard from him, authorities say.
There are no details on how he was located or the manner of death. At the time of his disappearance, authorities had said they did not suspect foul play.

57,090,836 | In the summer of 1972—from July 11 to August 31, between the Watergate break-in and the Munich Olympics massacre—the eyes of the world were riveted on the Laugardalsholl section of Reykjavik, Iceland, watching Bobby Fischer become the first American-born grandmaster to win the World Chess Championship, soundly trouncing the Soviet Union’s defending champion, Boris Spassky. “The Match of the Century” was how it was billed and is how it is remembered. Coming at a time when the Cold War was heating up, Fischer had the elevated public persona that a comic-book action hero has today. Sadly, this only accelerated his galloping paranoia.
Edward Zwick, the director who finally brought this long-time-in-coming historic happening to the screen, was then a high-schooler—and an impressionable one: “I remember lionizing him as our gladiator of the West going forth against the big Soviet bear. He actually was the first of what I would call a kind of pre-punk hero. We were starting to see this in The Rolling Stones. An anti-authoritarian strain was coming out, and it later really flowered. We’ve seen it since with certain athletes and musicians—celebrities who just have a certain ‘I don’t give a fuck’ attitude—and that’s who he was.”
Public toleration, if not adoration, for difficult divas (when they’re great enough to be forgiven) continues still. Look at Danny Boyle’s forthcoming Steve Jobs with Michael Fassbender. Zwick hasn’t yet, but “I know the script. Aaron Sorkin is a friend of mine, so I’ve read it. It’s that same odd respect you have for people who are utterly iconoclastic.”
Fischer’s world-saving/freak-out Moment in Time wears the apt (though commercially questionable) title of Pawn Sacrifice. Penned by British screenwriter Steven Knight (Eastern Promises, Dirty Pretty Things, Amazing Grace), it lolled on Hollywood’s 2009 Black List of “most liked, unproduced screenplays.” Tobey Maguire and his co-producer, Gail Katz, and their then-director, David Fincher, had initially commissioned two other writers to write it as a Maguire vehicle, but the results didn’t jell, and Knight took over.
“The Black List swirls around Hollywood,” notes Zwick. “If a script isn’t known and it gets on the Black List, it suddenly gets a lot of attention, but most of the scripts that get on the Black List are known and have already been socialized. This wasn’t like ‘I saw it on the Black List and looked at it.’ I knew Gail, Tobey and Steve. It was more of a closed circle.
“Steven brought a deep perspective—and life—to this story, so when they offered it to me I was interested. I was one of the first people to work with Steve when he came over from England. We worked together on two scripts yet to be filmed. One is The Woman Who Walks Ahead, the true story of a portrait painter in the late 19th century who went to paint Sitting Bull’s portrait, which led to his return and the massacre at Wounded Knee.”
With Fischer and chess, Zwick had a two-way headache: an erratic eccentric with bratty behavior, a fragile psyche and the weight of the world on his shoulders plus the most passive and un-cinematic of games (even golf and tennis require full-body movements). “Curling is next on my docket,” quips the director who overcame these obstacles for the film, opening Sept. 16 from Bleecker Street.
“I think what Steve found, and what I tried then to mine, was that internal experience—the interior experience of the game—how it relates to personality and how it relates to isolation. I obviously was very interested in a man who had chosen this game—maybe it had chosen him because of his genius—since his own isolation was expressed in a game that demanded greater isolation. Chess, for him, seemed to be both salvation and a curse.
“Bobby believed that chess is about the clash of wills, the dominance of one personality over another, as much about mental toughness as it is about mastering chess moves. In that regard, I remembered a book that I had read by John McPhee called Levels of the Game, about a tennis match between Arthur Ashe and Clark Graebner at Forest Hills in 1968, and what I remembered was that the book became not nearly as much about how one hit the ball or their strokes or form as it was about mental toughness.
“I suddenly saw Bobby’s story through that lens—the idea that one could invest in these people and situations—because there was no way I was going to teach an audience how to play chess. Even if I taught them the basic moves, I could never get into the depth of nuance and complexity of grandmasters. It had to be about something more than chess.
“I think—or, rather, I like to think—that I’ve prepared the audience to understand what’s going on internally in Bobby’s mind, based on how we’ve come to see his experience.”
Zwick’s directorial heavy lifting was primarily confined to squeezing some crackling tension and audience involvement out of those near-mute chess matches. In this regard, the soundtrack is alive with the sounds of silence as well as sounds Fischer would find distracting, and the fast-cut editing quickens the pace and deepens the interplay. “Steve Rosenblum has been my editor since college,” admits Zwick. “I also think these actors, in the subtlest way, work very hard in those close-ups. Their concentration and their understanding with what’s happening and all the complexities are all there in their eyes.”
His smartest casting move was surrounding Maguire with seasoned New York stage actors. “I’m very attracted—always have been—to knowing theatre actors,” he confides.
The power play in the center ring was particularly well-matched: Maguire’s Fischer vs. Liev Schreiber’s Spassky. The latter, a two-time Tony winner, looms over the movie with a gravitas of granite; he is a formidable adversary with little to say (and nearly nothing in English). Save for the charisma and the box-office boast, the role could just as well have been handled by an authentic Russkie. It’s to Schreiber’s credit he does a lot with a little. “I’ve worked with Liev before. He’s one of our premier actors. Certainly, on stage he is.”
Lily Rabe, who plays Fischer’s sister, he found doing Shakespeare in the Park. Other theatre recruits include Michael Stuhlbarg and Peter Sarsgaard, playing Fischer’s much-put-upon support team: lawyer Paul Marshall and priest-grandmaster Bill Lombardy.
More might have been made of the character of Fischer’s promiscuous, communistic mom, who got his life off to such a rocky start by refusing to reveal his father’s identity. Robin Weigert does as well as she can with what she’s given, but the role is underwritten.
“When you make movies,” Zwick explains, “you have to make very hard choices sometimes. At the end of the day, beyond a certain length, a movie tends to fall apart. This movie had a tension I wanted to grip the audience with—that was the experience I wanted the audience to have of it—and when you digress too much, you risk losing that.
“You don’t go crazy because of how you are raised or have a genetic predisposition to a problem—whether it’s chemical or whatever—but the form that this takes is the legacy of what your experience is. How he was raised was a way to open a window into it.”
Fischer had sporadic flare-ups of fame after his 1972 triumph, most of them diminishing him in the eyes of the world, as his mental health deteriorated and he spiraled downward.
A major reason it took so long to get his story told on the screen was Fischer himself. “I think that we had to wait till he was no longer alive,” theorizes Zwick. “It was a very sad end. For the last number of years of his life, he was not really engaged in the world.”
Tacked onto the film is footage of the real Fischer, a grizzled graybeard in decline. He died on January 18, 2008, at the age of 64, in the town of his greatest moment, Reykjavik. The New York Times identified him as “the most powerful American chess player in history.” |

Embedding a Power BI report that has ArcGIS Maps currently results in the "For embedded visuals, ArcGIS Maps for Power BI is currently not supported" message. I understand from Googling around that the embedding feature is on the roadmap, so was hoping to get more clarity. Thanks.
Hey Vitaly - embedded functionality is something that will be enabled for Power BI report authors that have an ArcGIS named user account. ArcGIS named user support is planned for 2018, so look for embedded functionality in the same general time frame.
Can I insert and image into a container field located in the background without the container field coming to the foreground? I don't want to see the image container.
You can put your field on the layout, but to the right of the visible part of the layout, and it works just fine. Users never see it. You can only see the field in layout mode.
I would say that Insert From Url() operates the same as set field() or set field by name() wherein the target field does NOT have to be on the layout
All this could of course be done in a window off the display range, using a utility layout that holds the container field.
New capabilities in JMP 8 and use of the software in classroom and business environments were focal topics at the inaugural meeting of the Atlanta JMP Users Group. More than 30 people attended the June 17 gathering at the SAS Atlanta Training Center. The newly formed group is led by business effectiveness consultant Kevin Holston and includes members from a variety of industries, including healthcare, education, finance, telecom, energy, consumer products and marketing.
The kick-off event featured three well-received presentations. JMP Systems Engineer Mike Vorburger (pictured below) discussed new capabilities in JMP 8. Jennifer Priestley, PhD, of Kennesaw State University presented SAS in the Classroom: Credit Scoring Using JMP. Eric Schmidt, PhD, of Georgia-Pacific discussed Time Series Models and Forecasting in JMP 8.
According to Holston, there was “a lot of excitement and interest in forming the Atlanta JMP Users Group. Many were awed to see the power in JMP 8.”
More than 80 percent of the participants noted that they have some experience with Base SAS programming; 5 to 10 percent have some experience with SAS Enterprise Guide and JMP. “All wanted to know more and each spoke to potential applications in their business environment,” Holston explains. In the future, the group hopes to cover topics such as SAS and JMP integration, data mining (partitioning) and modeling.
Many expressed interest in meeting on a quarterly basis. The next meeting is slated for September or October. A core team of volunteers will soon be recruited to plan meetings and select presenters. The group hopes to leverage social networking tools such as LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook to spread the word about upcoming opportunities.
I’m trying to react on events fired from ons-tabbar. But I don’t get events . Tried several methods and googled but didn’t find an answer .
I have a large Excel document and want to do text mining with one of the columns. So I use Read Excel for it and now I want to set the imported cell range for let's say the column 'E'. I know it sounds stupid but I don't know how to do this.
I tried the 'E:E' Version I know from Excel VBA but that does not work. For sure I could write for example 'E1:E10' but my Table is going to get more entrys and I do not want to correct it all the time.
I'sorry but it does not. I am getting this text and I don't know why because I wrote E:E as you can see on the right.
Thanks to your sample snippet, I figured out how to do some simple highlighting of a value with a snippet when it is read-only. The below code highlights an integer value when it is greater than zero:
I show this field in a table, and use the snippet as a custom renderer, and it seems to work as expected (yea!):
Now I could probably easily add a reference to an image instead of coloring the text to make it even prettier. However, these approaches only work when the field isn't editable (and I'm not sure if I'm up to building a new editor component). What I'd love is to be able to highlight the entire background of the cell based on the field's value, and especially to be able to do this even when the field is in edit mode. That would improve the look and ensure that it is consistently displayed in either mode.
At first I was thinking you could access the actual td element from the snippet through the jQuery.parent() function, but since at this point in the code it hasn't been appended to the dom, I don't think that's possible.
Since 5 years ago, has anyone discovered a way to access the cell's particular td element? Would be nice not just for blank cells, but also for just expanding the background to the whole cell. Guess I could run a negative margin until it fills..
Yes! Much better, thanks. So, if I wanted to try this with, say, a picklist field, how would I know what the skuid.ui.fieldRenderers.X value is supposed to be? I tried "PICKLIST" and "SELECT", and it clearly isn't those, and I can't find a reference for this kind of information. Is this just not the level of developer documentation you currently have, or am I missing something? I'll admit, I probably know just enough javascript to be dangerous, but am not an expert.
We haven't gotten to documenting that portion of our API yet. But it is definitely on our list of things to do. We absolutely love it that people are going in and just figuring things out.
PICKLIST was actually the correct name for the renderer, so i'm not sure what happened when you tried it. To make things more generic, you can use field.metadata.displaytype to get the display type of the field you're working with. Here's another version that might work better for you.
That still doesn't seem to work for picklists fields. When I try it the field value doesn't render at all in read-only or edit mode.
This is strange because it's working fine for me when try it on picklist fields. The first time I tried it I forgot to put the snippet name in after I changed the renderer to custom. Could you doublecheck that? If that isn't the issue, I'll have to look at your page definition xml. Can you email that to me? [email protected]
Values of type BOOLEAN in skuid models are not stored as strings. Do you actually have a version that is working with checkboxes? Your logic should always return false, since the value will never be the string 'true'
That's what I tried first, but it didn't work; it never highlights. It does work when I do value == 'true', though, strangely.
You're right. This is actually a bug. I would expect this to change in future versions of Skuid. I'll let you know if we push out a release that changes this, because it will break your current code.
Ben, is there a way to have this functionality inside of a template field? I'm trying to display a child error message on the parent table, and I would like to highlight the Error Message template in red, but only if a child error message actually exists, is this doable?
I'm also trying to work out the code to compare the values between two fields in a record in a table instead of the value of a picklist option. I have 2 currency fields: 1 - Original Payment Due 2 - Payment Amount. I want to compare the value of the Payment Amount to the value of Original Amount Due and if they are not equal, highlight both cells. I'm not sure how to reference the other field in the javascript code I want to do the comparison with.
So, I'm attempting to reach way beyond my skill set in javascript. But before I begin on this, I'd like to know if it's even possible.
Of course, this is possible. Can you describe your use case? In what context will the call to forecast.io be made and what are you going to do with the resulting JSON?
I'm trying to collect the weather information for locations when field staff were working there. So, each day, a crew manager will update a series of tasks done at a site. Each day this happens on any site, I'd like to have a weather log for it.
I'm going to parse the JSON into a salesforce object. Then I'll use this data in Conga reports to produce daily and weekly reports with the data being neatly presented in a clean widget like weather report.
Based on your use case, this seems a better fit for scheduled batch APEX. Why would you want to perform this in Skuid? Are you expecting the field staff to click a button and get the latest forecast?
I'm not using APEX as I don't know APEX. Do you know APEX? Just looking at APEX makes my head heart for some reason. Drives me nuts. I simply prefer javascript.
Currently have an APEX class that retrieves for reporting purposes, but it doesn't save it to an object. Just displays it. It was made by someone before me.
This is not intended to provide weather forecasts. It's to provide a historical account of the weather on locations when tasks were being performed.
The APEX class could be enhanced to save the forecast data to an object. How is the APEX class being invoked?
Give me a minute. I've got to pick up my jaw off the ground. It's simply not responding appropriately!
Yup. Looked over the code. I knew it was going to be something that was month's in my javascript capabilities.
Glad to help. Still think that this is better suited as an async batch job that runs in off hours especially if you have lots of locations. One less thing for a project manager to have to do.
I do agree that the best best way would be to have the async batch. Issue is the associated cost to make this happen.
Works every time, but the model doesn't saves as per the action framework no errors. It's as if the Save Action thinks there aren't any changes made to the model, so the command commits zero changes. Only once I've made an edit to the field does it save.

230,842,911 | I always order larger than normal so in US I normally wear 1x this I ordered a 5x.. I love the way it fits because I like really loose fitting but if you wanted more fitted I would go with a 4x. It's actually a very beautiful shirt, looks well made, stitching is nice and it feels great. I LOVE it!
The garment looks exactly like in the picture. The color was the main reason I ordered the dress - it is very nice and subtle - dusty pink. I will be using this dress for layering clothes, as it is too short for me to wear it alone as a dress.
Clothes are true to size and beautifully made. A good deal for your money. I especially like the abundance of options not typically available to plus sized women.
This dress is pretty gorgeous I would definitely order from them again shopping with them was pretty easy shipping took a minute but well worth it
Beautiful little garment and well made - I am 5.8 and prefer longer (more classic styling) length so it barely fits this bill. Will wear as a top.
Q: Hello, I really like this dress the way the colour looks in the ad. But it says that it is pink, which it really doesn't look like it is, more like a greyish pink. Is the colour the same as in the ad or is it really pink? Thank you.?
With Summer quickly approaching, you may be seeking to create a nautical wedding. The blue ocean and white sand showcases a stunning appearance within the world, and you can utilize these elements to develop your big day.
From navy blue and details of the sea, such as anchors and seashells, you have the opportunity to get creative with your nautical wedding décor.
We understand what it takes to create a stunning appearance within a wedding. That’s why, here at Rose Petal Events, we have gathered some inspiration for your nautical wedding. If you are interested in discovering more, be sure to continue reading:
Nautical colors. First off, you will want to develop a color palette for your wedding, as it will be what sets the stage for each element of your décor. For your nautical wedding, consider choosing navy blue and white, as it is a pairing that will reflect the sea. If, however, you would like to incorporate an additional color, for some vibrancy, consider choosing coral, as the combination of the three will create an elegant appearance.
Nautical décor. To represent your nautical theme to the fullest, you will want to showcase the right elements of décor. Choose anchors, sailboats, or even a captain’s wheel, to present a bold appearance throughout your space. In addition, you can incorporate driftwood, fisherman’s nets, rope, and candles, to tie each detail together beautifully.
Nautical flowers. For your flowers, you will want them to tie into your theme and color scheme. Opt for hydrangeas, as they represent a beautiful shade of white as well as a lovely hue of blue. Also, white roses will never fail! To add a dash of pizzazz to your arrangements, utilize anemones, as they are a stunning little bloom.
The theme you choose for your wedding should be showcased throughout each element and every element of your decor! These are just a few ways in which you can develop your nautical wedding. If you are ready to begin planning your Los Angeles wedding, please feel free to get in touch with Rose Petal Events today. As a Los Angeles, California wedding planner, we are ready to bring your big day to life.
10/19:Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has caught at least five passes in every game this season besides Week 1. He's been exactly what fantasy owners have needed this season. He's a reliable top tier tight end just about every single week. The Bengals defense has given up the third most fantasy points to tight ends this season, according to Yahoo. The Chiefs should easily cut through the weak Bengals defense. Kelce is a top tier TE1 this week against Cincinnati.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller

3/5 78% How to Make It in America: Season 2 (TV, 2011) Not a bad start to the season and there was no shortage of already memorable quotes. I was glad they didn't try to jam too much into the premiere and am very excited to see the sophomore season unfold.‐ TV Fanatic - EDIT

98% Game of Thrones: Season 4 - First of His Name (TV Episode) This week's Thrones episode won't go down as one of the best when matched against the likes of The Red or Purple Weddings, but that should not detract from how amazingly Jon Snow and Bran/Hodor dished out death.‐ TV Fanatic - EDIT

One of the high points of Daredevil has always been the show's choreography when it comes to fight scenes, and what better avenue to put these on display then bringing ninjas into the mix.
There was a little of everything that makes Daredevil great here. From the action, spy vibe and compelling Punisher subplot, the show continues to deliver with every episode. |

b. the violation caused the consumer to be substantially confused about any of the rights, obligations or remedies of the contract; and
If the court reforms or limits a provision of a consumer contract, the court shall also make orders necessary to avoid unjust enrichment.

c. Actions of the Attorney General or the Commissioner of Insurance, as the case may be, pursuant to this section are not appealable.
d. Any consumer contract certified pursuant to this section is deemed to comply with this act. Certification of a consumer contract pursuant to this section is not otherwise an approval of the contract's legality or legal effect.
e. Failure to submit a contract to the Attorney General or the Commissioner of Insurance, as the case may be, for review pursuant to this section does not show a lack of good faith nor does it raise a presumption that the contract violates this act. If pursuant to this section the Attorney General or the Commissioner of Insurance, as the case may be, refers a party to a previously certified contract, that the party chooses not to use the contract does not show a lack of good faith nor does it raise a presumption that a contract used by that party violated this act.

(3) Conditions and exceptions to the main promise of the agreement shall be given equal prominence with the main promise, and shall be in at least 10 point type.
No consumer contract shall contain a waiver of any rights under this act. A violation of this act will not render any consumer contract void or voidable, or serve as a defense in an action to enforce the consumer contract for breach thereof.

Shoushan or imperial stone is found in Fujian province in south china. For over 1500 years it has been prized for its fine carving qualities and rich colours. This affordable imitation is cast from a mixture of powdered shoushan stone and resin. Temple lions first appeared in china with the coming of Buddhism. They are described as small with a swelling cape of dignity around its neck and billowing standard of pomp above its back. Their function is to protect and guard against evil and are often seen protecting buildings of great importance. These temple lions symbolize great strength and great courage. When the male lion is seen playing with a ball which signifies the moon pearl which symbolizes blessings and the ball also represents the sun which is yang. The female lion is seen with a cub lion under her foot and symbolizes protection. Place near or opposite your front door on a small table to protect your home or office. |
122,678,022 | Cassini continues its exploration of the Saturn system with the 32-day Rev 202, which begins on February 20 at its farthest distance from the planet. This is also called the orbit's apoapse. At this point, Cassini is 2.84 million kilometers (1.76 million miles) from Saturn's cloud tops. Rev 202 occurs during the first inclined phase, which lasts until March 2015, of the Cassini Solstice Mission. The inclined phase will allow for polar views of Saturn and Titan as well as better vistas of Saturn's rings than those Cassini had while in the earlier, equatorial phase of the Solstice Mission. Thirty-two ISS observations are planned for Rev 202 with the majority focused on Saturn's atmosphere and rings and on Titan during the T99 flyby.
Two days into the orbit on February 22, ISS will image Titan, looking for clouds across its northern hemisphere, at a distance of 3.77 million kilometers (2.34 million miles). Cassini will take another look at Titan on February 24 from a distance of 3.55 million kilometers (2.20 million miles). Afterward on February 24, ISS will observe the outer satellite, Kiviuq, from a distance of 8.06 million kilometers (5.01 million miles). This is one of the closest observations of this small satellite. On February 26, ISS will acquire an astrometric observation of Saturn's small, inner moons. Astrometric observations are used to improve our understanding of the orbits of these small satellites, which can be influenced by Saturn's larger icy moons. Another astrometric observation will be acquired on February 28. Immediately after the February 28 observation, ISS will acquire a quick observation of Saturn using the WAC. This observation is part of a series of "Storm Watch" observation sequences designed to take advantage of short, two-minute segments when the spacecraft turns the optical remote sensing (ORS) instruments back to Saturn as a waypoint between other experiments' observations. These sequences include blue, clear, two methane band, and one full-frame, continuum band filter images. Three more storm watch observations will be taken on February 27 and 28. On March 1, ISS will acquire a movie of the F ring, observing its various channels and streamers created by the interaction between the ring material and the nearby moon, Prometheus.
Cassini encounters Titan on March 6 at 16:27 UTC for the 100th time. This is the third of eleven Titan flybys planned for 2014, with the next encounter scheduled for April 7. T99 has a close-approach altitude of 1,500 kilometers (932 miles). This flyby will allow for imaging of the north polar region and northern anti-Saturn hemisphere inbound to the encounter and the southern anti-Saturn hemisphere of Titan on the outbound leg. ISS will start the encounter off by acquiring a global mapping mosaic of Titan. This ten-frame mosaic will cover much of the visible face of Titan at a resolution of 1.89 kilometers (1.17 miles) per pixel. The observation includes a long stare at the north pole for both cloud monitoring and for looking at the lakes and seas in the region.
The main focus of the flyby is the Radio Science Subsystem (RSS) gravity pass during the 24 hours surrounding closest approach. During a gravity pass, the spacecraft points its high-gain antenna at Earth so that researchers can observe changes in Cassini's signal caused by Titan's gravity. The RSS team will use this measurement to determine the density of Titan's outer layers, like the global sub-surface ocean (by looking for short-term changes in the gravity field caused by Saturn's gravitational pull on Titan), to measure the geoid (global shape) of Titan and search for the presence of large gravity anomalies, and to determine the deformability (also known as its rheology) of the outer ice shell. After RSS finishes its gravity pass, the Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) will acquire more data about Titan's upper haze layers - its structure, temperature, and composition - as well as the now-cooling south polar vortex. ISS will ride along with the observation.
On March 8 at 19:26 UTC, Cassini will reach periapse for Rev 202 at an altitude of 798,890 kilometers (496,410 miles) from Saturn's cloud tops. Early in the day, ISS will ride along with the Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) to observe a pair of stellar occultations by Saturn's ring system from Alpha Lyrae (also known as Vega), an A-type star in the constellation Lyra and one of the brightest stars in the night sky, and R Lyrae, a red giant star also in the constellation Lyra. ISS and VIMS will observe the ingress and egress phases of both occultations. Occultations like these are used to understand the structure of Saturn's ring system and to look for any changes that might occur due to meteor impacts or slight changes in Saturn's gravity field. ISS images will focus on the portions where the stars are occulted by the F ring. Next, ISS will acquire a Wide-Angle Camera (WAC) mosaic of the entire ring system in multiple colors as well as a Narrow-Angle Camera (NAC) scan along the edge of Saturn's shadow on the ring system. Both mosaics will be taken while Cassini is over the unlit side of Saturn's rings. Next, ISS will image the outer A ring, where it will be looking at propellers previously imaged by Cassini. Propellers are small voids in Saturn's rings created by the gravitational interaction between large ring particles and the surrounding ring.
On March 9, ISS will acquire a 10-hour observation of the faint, Phoebe ring, created from micrometeorite impacts on that outer moon. On March 10 and 19, ISS will ride along with VIMS to observe aurorae at Saturn's south pole. On March 11 and 12, ISS will acquire a pair of limb observations at Saturn, which will be helpful for understanding the structure of Saturn's upper haze layers as well as a ride along observation with the Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer (UVIS). Similar ride along observations with UVIS will be taken on March 17 and 20. ISS will also observe Saturn during several CIRS observations on March 15, 21, 22, and 24. Starting late on March 13, ISS will acquire a day and a half-long observation of the small outer moon, Fornjot. While Fornjot will be too far away (18.8 million kilometers or 11.7 million miles) for Cassini to observe any surface details, this very long observation will be used to measure its rotational period by observing how its brightness changes as it rotates. Finally, ISS will observe Titan and its upper haze layers over its north polar region on March 17 from a distance of 1.71 million kilometers (1.06 million miles).
On March 24th, Cassini will reach apoapse, bringing Rev 202 to a close and starting up the next orbit, Rev 203, which will include another targeted flyby of Titan.
Cassini continues its exploration of the Saturn system with the 6.5-day Rev 281, which begins on June 26 at its farthest distance from the planet. This is also called the orbit’s apoapse. At this point, Cassini is 1.21 million kilometers (0.75 million miles) from Saturn’s cloud tops. Rev 281 is the 11th of 22 proximal orbits that will take place between April 2017 and the end of the mission in September. During these orbits, Cassini’s closest approach to Saturn occurs between the ring system and Saturn’s atmosphere. Eight ISS observations are planned for Rev 281, with the majority focused on Saturn’s atmosphere.
On June 27, Cassini’s Optical-Remote-Sensing instruments will observe a pair of stellar occultations by Saturn and its main rings. First, the Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer (UVIS) will watch as Beta Canis Majoris passes behind Saturn. This will allow UVIS to observe the structure of Saturn’s south-polar, upper atmosphere. Afterward, ISS will ride along as the Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) observes Sirius as it passes behind the main rings. On June 28, VIMS will acquire several mosaics of Saturn’s north polar region and northern hemisphere to track cloud motion on Saturn’s nightside.
On June 29 at 22:14 UTC, Cassini will reach periapse for Rev 281 at an altitude of 3,595 kilometers (2,234 miles) above Saturn’s cloud tops. Inbound on this periapse pass, UVIS will observe the limb of Saturn to measure airglow and hydrocarbons in Saturn’s upper atmosphere. The Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) will map the temperature and composition of the vortex at Saturn’s north pole. As Cassini approaches Saturn, ISS will acquire a noodle of Wide-Angle Camera (WAC) images of Saturn’s atmosphere, running from 80 degrees North Latitude to 17 degrees North Latitude. At periapse, the spacecraft will rotate so that the High-Gain Antenna (HGA) is pointed in the RAM direction, protecting the rest of the spacecraft from inner D ring particles. ISS will continue to acquire WACs in this new orientation through closest approach to Saturn. Early on June 30, VIMS will acquire mosaics of Saturn’s unlit, south polar region.
On June 30, ISS will image a crescent Titan from 1.94 million kilometers (1.21 million miles) away to continuing monitoring seasonal changes to its upper haze layers. On July 1, UVIS will observe a pair of stellar occultations by Saturn’s atmosphere of Zeta Orionis and Episilon Orionis, two of the three stars that make up Orion’s belt. VIMS will acquire a pole-to-pole mosaic of Saturn’s nightside. Later on July 1, ISS will observe the bright limb of Saturn to monitor changes in the planet’s upper haze layers. On July 2, ISS will observe the distant, outer moon Bebhionn from 9.66 million kilometers (6.00 million miles) away. On July 3, ISS will image the outer A ring at high phase angles.
On July 3, during the A ring observation, Cassini will reach apoapse, bringing Rev 281 to a close and starting up the next orbit, Rev 282. At this point, Cassini is 1.21 million kilometers (0.75 million miles) from Saturn’s cloud tops. Eleven ISS observations are planned for this orbit, with the majority focused on Saturn’s main rings. On July 4, Cassini’s Optical-Remote-Sensing instruments will observe a pair of stellar occultations by Saturn and its main rings. First, ISS will ride along as the Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) observes Sirius as it passes behind the main rings. Afterward, Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer (UVIS) will watch as Beta Canis Majoris passes behind Saturn. This will allow UVIS to observe the structure of Saturn’s south-polar, upper atmosphere. CIRS will also acquire temperature measurements of the lit face of Saturn’s rings during a pair of observations. ISS will ride along with the second of these covering the C and D rings. On July 5, ISS will image a crescent Titan from 1.94 million kilometers (1.21 million miles) away to continuing monitoring seasonal changes to its upper haze layers.
On July 6 at 09:36 UTC, Cassini will reach periapse for Rev 282 at an altitude of 3,615 kilometers (2,246 miles) above Saturn’s cloud tops. Inbound on this periapse pass, CIRS will acquire a temperature map of the boundary of Saturn’s shadow on the main rings. Afterwards, UVIS will observe a stellar occultation by the main rings of the B-type star Kappa Canis Majoris. Next, ISS will acquire a short, color radial scan across the lit face of the B and C rings. ISS will also conduct a survey of the propellers in the outer A ring. Propellers are voids in the ring created by the gravity of large, 100 – 1000-meter (328 – 3280 foot) ring particles. Due to the influence of the rings on their motion, these observations are needed to keep track of previously discovered propellers, like Earhart and Bleriot. ISS will then observe the edge of the A ring. Afterward, ISS will ride along as VIMS observes the red supergiant star Gamma Crucis passing behind the main rings. Finally, UVIS and ISS will acquire a scan across the C ring, studying small-scale structures in the rings.
During the ring plane cross a few minutes before closest approach, the spacecraft will rotate so that the High-Gain Antenna (HGA) is pointed in the RAM direction, protecting the rest of the spacecraft from inner D ring particles. During the ring plane crossing right before periapse, Cassini’s high-gain antenna will be pointed in the direction the spacecraft is moving to shield it from ring particles. It will then turn to acquire a RADAR scatterometry scan across the main ring system, measuring cm-scale roughness from the A ring down to the C ring.
On July 6, the Radio Science Subsystem (RSS) will perform a radio occultation of the rings by transmitting a signal to Earth through the rings. Changes in the strength of the received signal can provide information about the fine-scale structure of the rings. Afterwards, ISS will ride along with a CIRS observation of the unlit side of the A ring. On July 8, ISS will observe the distant, outer moon Bebhionn from 9.93 million kilometers (6.17 million miles) away.
On July 7, Cassini will reach apoapse, bringing Rev 282 to a close and starting up the next orbit, Rev 283, when Cassini will perform a non-targeted encounter with Titan. |
157,981,703 | Driveway alarms are devices that detect motion and are used to beef up home security. Learn the difference between different alarms and how they work.
Driveway alarms are wireless electronic devices that serve the purpose of notifying you whenever there’s movement on your driveway. Some alarms are designed to detect people, animals, cars or all three. The biggest benefit of using such an alarm is safety. You’ll instantly be notified when an unexpected visitor pulls on your driveway or someone is trying to trespass on your property.
However, not all home owners will benefit from having a driveway alarm system installed. If you have a small 2 to 6 cars driveway, which you can easily view from the house, there is no need to constantly check all the incoming traffic. A driveway alarm will be more useful to people with long driveways or small driveways that are not visible from inside the house.
Driveway alarms consist of 2 main components: one transmitter and one receiver. The transmitter usually runs on batteries and it’s placed somewhere concealed, on the side of the driveway, at the entrance. The receiver is kept in your home, plugged into an electrical outlet. Depending on what brand and model your purchase, the receiver may come as a wireless option, in which case you can care it with you. Whenever the transmitter senses a moving object, it will send a signal to the receiver, which in turn will notify you by either a sound, led lighting or both.
Wireless or hard wired – one is no better than the other and this is only a matter of personal preference.
Detection type – thee are alarms that detect people (and animals), vehicles, and both. Therefore, before buying an alarm for your driveway, you need to think about what do you need it for: to know when people trespass or to get notified whenever a deer is wondering around your property?
There are several types of sensors used in driveway alarms. Here’s what you need to know about each type:
Infrared Driveway Sensors. These sensors are wireless and use heat to detect movement (people, animals or vehicles) by sending a signal whenever a warm object passes through the beam. The biggest advantage of infrared sensors is that they’re easy to install and are not expensive.
Magnetic Probe Driveway Sensor. These sensors are either hard wired or wireless and are used to detect metal objects only. Therefore, you will not get any false alarms due to animals or birds. One of the benefits of having a magnetic probe on your driveway is that the probe will be hidden from view once the installation is done. You also need to be prepared to spend more money on this type of sensor (over $100).
Rubber Hose Driveway Sensor. These sensors are enclosed in a soft rubber hose and are used to detect mostly vehicles. When a car passes over the hose, the hose is pushed down over the sensor, which in turns sends a signal to the receiver. You’ll get a notification is people or animals step on the actual hose. These sensor are inexpensive but you’ll need to replace the hose every once in a while, due to wear and tear.
Photo Beam Sensors. Driveway alarms that use photo beam sensors have two or more sensors. The sensors are placed at opposite ends and you only get a notification of movement when the beams from ALL sensors are broken at the same time. False alarms are virtually impossible since animals and birds cannot break all the beams at once. This is the best alarm system you can buy if you main concert is to detect people
Today’s driveway alarms include the latest technology and come with various features that make it really easy to detect objects or people. Here are two very popular features you should take into consideration before buying an alarm:
Security Zones. A good driveway alarm system will allow you the possibility of adding additional sensors for different security zones – usually at least 4. For example, you could get 4 sensors and use the same receiver for different areas of your house (driveway, backyards, side of the house, etc…). Depending on where the sensors are located, the receiver will notify you when there’s movement and which sensor detected the movement. Some alarms have a different alarm tone for each zone. Other models use visual indicators by using a variation of led colors.
Supervised Wireless Transmitters. This feature allows you to know when the sensor’s batteries run low. Supervised transmitters will send out two signals to the receiver: one for motion detection and one for low power in batteries. Without this feature you won’t know when batteries stop working.
Estimated Costs of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses and Estimated Impact on a Company’s Profitability:
The most important precaution in hazardous energy work areas is Lockout/Tagout (LOTO). Energized equipment must be controlled prior to performing maintenance or repair. Uncontrolled energy poses major hazards to employees performing work. If a machine is not properly secured, release of uncontrolled energy can cause severe injuries. Major types of injuries due to energy include:
These injuries occur when employees and employers do not properly PREPARE for a hazardous job prior to beginning work. OSHA is clear on the LOTO standards (1910.147), which state that all employers and employees understand the work area hazards, and review the safety precautions to be taken.
Unfortunately, workers are still being injured due to failures in controlling the hazardous energy. Recently OSHA took strict action on an employer who had three workers become severely injure on the same machine on three separate incidents. These incidents occurred over a four year period, and the employer did not take proper precautions to ensure the energy was controlled which resulted in one willful citation and seven serious citations which carried close to $100,000.00 in fines.
LOTO procedures can get confusing if not conducted properly. Audits on LOTO clearances have revealed these types of issues:
Rather than take chances and risk injuries, death, investigations, fines, and legal action, partner with a team of safety professionals to ensure your procedures are completed efficiently and effectively. The JLN team will meet with your organization, review your procedures, and work with your team to revise existing procedures, or prepare procedures that are needed. We also work with your team to train the workforce so everyone can understand their workplace as well as how to work safer.

214,978,744 | PROFILE: The profile of a wheel’s running surface can vary from a very pointed radius to a blunt, almost flat radius. A wheel profile should be selected for your skating style. Pointed or narrow radius wheels have less running surface, quicker steering and are faster, while wider radius profile wheels are more stable, yet slower.
SIZE: The size of the wheel is measured in mm’s (millimeters) on the O.D. (outside diameter) of the wheel. Smaller wheels are used more for street or trick skating, while larger wheels are used more for recreational to speed skating. Small wheels turn and accelerate more quickly. Large wheels are slower to accelerate but have a greater high-end speed. Wheels range from 47mm for aggressive street skating to 60mm for children, to 72mm for recreational skating, to 80mm for racing.
HARDNESS: The hardness or the durometer of a wheel can range from 74A soft to 100+A hard. The durometer of a wheel can affect the performance, durability, shock absorption and traction. Soft wheels offer higher traction and the smoothest ride. Hard wheels slide better, but have less shock absorption.
CORE: The core is used to hold the bearings in place. It is made from a very hard plastic or urethane that bonds to the poliurethane tire. Hyper’s cores are designed to give wheels additional performance, extended bearing life, provide wheel stability and lighten the weight of the wheel.
COMPOUND: The urethane is very important to the performance characteristics of the wheel. Hyper has developed compounds for each style of skating. Only Hyper has compounds/formulations for specific skating requirements.
- First Korean car to earn 'Design for Environment' & 'Life Cycle Assessment' awards - Zilina facility granted Environmental Management ISO 14001 certificate in 2007 (SEOUL) April 28, 2008 -- Kia Motors Corporation has been presented with two significant international certificates which confirm that the design and manufacturing processes behind the successful Kia cee'd are indeed 'environmentally-friendly.' The globally recognized, German-based, TUV NORD presented Kia with a DFE (Design for Environment) and a LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) environment certificate at a special ceremony in Seoul, Korea, last Friday (25 April) after rigorous inspection of the company's design and manufacturing operations at Zilina in Slovakia. The Kia cee'd, which was designed for and made in Europe at Zilina, is the first Korean brand car to receive such recognition. "The awarding of two international environment certificates for the Kia cee'd and its excellent 5-Star rating in EuroNCAP crash testing are first-time achievements for a Korean automotive company of which we can all be proud," commented Mr. Hyoung-Keun Lee, Senior Executive Vice President and COO, International Business Division of Kia Motors Corporation. "Our Zilina facility was environmentally certified in 2007 and later this year we will start manufacturing cee'd vehicles with fuel-stretching and CO2 reducing technologies from our experimental eco_cee'd line-up, further underlining Kia's strong and continuing drive to minimize its impact on the environment," concluded Mr. Lee. DFE (ISO 14062) evaluates a car's environmental friendliness during its design and development, plus the ease with which the car can be disassembled and its level of recyclability. DFE also requires that the assembly plant for the car reaches ISO 14001. LCA (ISO 14040) examines both the car's overall manufacturing process and its lifetime environmental impact, including choice of materials - the cee'd features lightweight all-aluminium engines (weighing 15 kg less) and Kenaf recycled materials form its door trim panels - and measures to reduce fuel consumption and engine exhaust emissions. Last year, Kia's all-new car and engine manufacturing plant in Zilina was certified as an 'environmentally-friendly' facility when Kia Motors Slovakia (KMS), which operates the plant, was officially presented with an ISO 14001 international certificate of environmental management. Many of the production and waste-management technologies in operation at Zilina are among the very best available in the world, with a minimised impact on the environment. "When launching vehicle and component production, we focused our attention on observing all environmental regulations and norms and abiding by all laws, in both spirit and letter," explained KMS President In-Kyu Bae. "Personally, I am very glad we had a chance to prove our commitment to being 'environmentally-friendly' and to having this clearly confirmed by receiving the internationally renowned environmental certificate ISO 14001 within a year from the launch of volume production in December 2006." TUV NORD and its partner TUV companies employ a staff of more than 8,000 engineers who carry out regulatory and environmental inspections and audits across a variety of industries. TUV NORD environmental certificates are not easily earned. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class (2005) and C-Class (2006) achieved both DFE and LCA recognition, while Volkswagen's Passat and Golf (2007) earned an LCA evaluation. Photo Captions: (1) Kia cee'd.

187,286,495 | Helping to provide 4 classrooms as there are 84 children registered for schooling at the moment and during 2009 a further 150 children need educating at nursery 1 level. The school has to have a clean supply of water, which it does not have at the moment. This requires a borehole and pump for permanent water for both teachers and children. The school has no toilet facilities except for a pit latrine so toilets are a must. A fence is required as the school is in the open. This is necessary to protect and keep the children safe. Desks, chairs, blackboard, educational materials and wages for 4 qualified Gambian teachers are among the further needs.
They only have 1 classroom at present, 7m x 4m holding 84 children. The need here is huge but thanks to the Head teacher, Kebba Ceesay, donating his land permanently for the school, a start can be made this year. The total cost of the entire project is now around £30,000.
We are now also supporting a number of ORPHAN children between the ages of 3 & 6 who cannot pay their school fees each term. We have now sponsored 6 of these orphan children for 1 whole year’s schooling. Please look on www.easysearch.org.uk and search Gambia Daily Observer then search Karmic Angels for this article and many more.
Thanks Lamin for taking us to see the school in Bussumbala and an even bigger thank you for your and Pa Louis asistance and advice on our re-build project in Dairuharu. The school in Bussumbala is wonderful and I hope that one day the children in Dairuharu will have a similar school. The work Karmic Angels is doing is an inspiration. best regards to you all, Kathryn and Shelagh – Nyodema

The Indian Express reports on 5th December of a recent attack on Kannadiga construction workers by Biharis. So much for letting the Biharis into Karnataka.
BANGALORE: A request for water ended up in a fight among the construction workers of the Manthri Greens apartments in Malleswaram. Reportedly, a local worker had gone to ask for water, when some Bihari workers assaulted him and later his friends and also their sheds. It is said that a similar incident had occurred earlier also where these workers assaulted each other. Police said that when the fight got severe the Karnataka Rakshana vedike members were informed about it, who rushed to the spot for the rescue of the local workers. A few men suffered injuries and six Bihari workers were arrested.
Should these uncouth goons, aka "Indians of a Greater God" (for they speak the Language of a Greater God called Hindi) be allowed to come to Bengaluru? Who should protect Kannadigas from these goons? Should there be a new Karnataka Immigration Law?
I am dobutful of the new immigration law, because Yadiurappa Government dont possess that bloody GUTS to bring such law into force. The Locals safety is at risk.
Is this a small incident? They have beaten up a police inspector few months ego... What about that? Is that a one off incident? Do you know they have raped a young school girl.. Is it not enough? Yeh... they are all small incidents, because it has not happened to your family. right?
You SOB, Raj Thackeray ka chamcha, where was your father Raj Thackeray when Mumbai was attacked by terrorists?
Learn the lessons Indians, otherwise you would be broken off like twigs as has happened numerous times in the History of our nation.
Dont keep relating Mumbai Terrorism issue to your propogation of being Indians through forcing down your regiional language hindi upon non-hindi states in the name of false notion as being the 'national language'. These are not one off incidents... these keep happening often, If India is indeed a democracy no Indian be it a hindian superior to another Indian who is a non-hindian. Instead of directing those barbarians to behave/atleast condemning such issues, you are trying to force your pseudo nationalism upon us.
I think many northi's feel we are making hue and cry of this issue. From their perspective Rape,Assault,half murder and beating cops are petty crimes; it happens every one second in some part of their region.
They are right, in their land raping a minor is very common, beating cops is a pride, they speak in guns than in words.
If an immigrant comes from that land, he will grouped into A and B. Where A is an educated, B is a worker. Those who are born in their land are so immune in their genes that, they have a full tolerance to these kind of crimes.
Hence 'A' supports acts of B as Petty crimes and calls for brotherhood,patience,forgiveness and acceptance.
Where as B thinks every other state as his home land, every woman other than in his house a pleasure for brutal act.
We expect A to educate B,which is a false hope,coz 'A' themselves doesn't know how to live in Socialized socitey.
the peaceful south india is being challanged by these kiind of north indians. An immigration policy is the need of the hour. A protest rally is required.
Should these uncouth goons, aka "Indians of a Greater God" (for they speak the Language of a Greater God called Hindi) be allowed to come to Bengaluru?
All people who support this kinda thought are no less than terrorists. Sad and ignorant people all of them !!
When will we have Sarojini mahishi report in force in Karnataka? Does yeddy nt have it in him? Will KRV do some thing about this? We are all suffering because of outsiders coming here and spoiling and claiming everything that is ours. I really do hope KRV starts some protest.. We will all join in.. now th eiron is hot, its right time.. The kanada-ness and kannada spirits are now running bit high.. Hope we all can make use of this and keep our land, culture and language un-hurt
LONAVALA: The tranquil hill station town of Lonavala, a frequent weekend haunt for Mumbaikars, awoke on Saturday to the shocking news of mass murders in the bustling vegetable market. Another related murder in neighbouring Khandala was also detected.
wee hours of Saturday, nine labourers were clobbered with a stick while they were asleep in the open at Bhaji Mandi, as the 80-year-old market is locally known. Of the nine, five were killed on the spot while four were rushed to a hospital in Pune.
Within a few hours of the murders, a team of the Pune (rural) police managed to nab Manish Kumar Pande, one of the two youths who had killed the sleeping workers for cash.
Superintendent of police (Pune rural) Vishwas Nangre Patil, who visited the spot, said, "We first thought that five murders at one go could only be the work of a psychopath, but later, following a tip-off from a local businessman, we learnt that two youths had killed the poor labourers for small change and petty amounts of cash."
The accused, who was produced before mediapersons, confessed that he and his associate Baban Omprakash Yadav had killed the labourers in the vegetable market. Baban was arrested late on Saturday evening. The two men had met at Khandala railway station at about 7.30 pm on Friday and killed a sleeping labourer with a stick to steal his cash.
They then proceeded to Lonavala by train and decided to steal some more money from the workers at the sabji mandi.
"While Baban has still not been nabbed, we are confident of arresting him soon. The two accused are from Uttar Pradesh and were doing odd jobs in Lonavala for three years.
They killed six men for cash of very small denominations like Rs 20, Rs 50 and Rs 100," said SP Patil.
He added that while Baban was addicted to ganja, a narcotic substance, Manish Kumar regularly drank liquor. Noted a police official, "They were always in need of easy cash, and decided to steal.
our country get freedom at one time. In bihar they they steel before independence so many natural resouces why they cannot get succces
If you don't know your history its your ignorance. India didn't become slave of Turks/Afgans/British et all for a thousand years no reason.
In every case, local Indian rulers envied other and fought amongst themselves while outsiders conquered them all one by one.
If people don't learn from the history, history is condemned to repeat itself. If you still believe your Karnataka or your Maharashtra or your Bihar can survive on its own , you must be kidding.
Understand one thing, you have to live as ONE nation. You don't have another option, otherwise if not Pakistan, China would be more than happy to gulp you down one by one.
And India doesn't have 1 national language, take any note of the nation and you would find your language on it also. So stop crying about languages, the nation has 18 ( or 21 now) national languages.
Treat the issue as a law and order issue. Any person indulging in crime needs to be punished. However seeing the incident from a parochial view is simply not acceptable.
Don't tell me no kannadiga ever indulges in any arson. How does the crime of a Kannadiga become different from the crime of a North Indian? A CRIME IS CRIME. PERIOD.
See because of KANNADIGAS AND KANNADA AND KARNATAKA all other state people are happily living in KARNATAKA and enjoying to the core.See you can go around and hang around anywhere you want in bengaluru.......
But you guys neva want that ....u take liberty of KANNADIGAS and you go an extent to hurt us.Keep in mind..... you outsiders are testing our patience and digging your own well.You foresee KANNADIGAS and use our generosity as ur liberty..........
This is what happened in maharastra.. you are eating our share in each n every area. you do all kind of politics in IT, BT and govt sectors.. and say outsiders are clean.In IT have you ever seen an outsider helping in terms of JOB to some KANNADIGA no, You want your people (outsiders) to improve ........ GUYS N GALS mind it......
"DONT YOU TRY TO PLAY AGAIN AND AGAIN there's always a fineline between patience and arrogance............ when the threshold limit of PATIENCE is reached it leads to ARROGANCE FROM KANNADIGAS,. and mind u outsiders you are going to suffer very badly................."
STOP CHATTING WITH THESE ........ and lets have a rally against outsiders trying to woe our people.........KANNADA RAKSHANA VEDIKE AND IT BALAGA LETS DO SOMETHING
Agreed we have to live as one nation and Kannadigas have never opposed the notion of one nation... . You have mentioned that India doesnt have one national language and all 21 languages are national languages taking the example of currency notes... I personally appreciate that you are not being the usual pseudo nationalist who insists that only Hindi can be the national language... All said and done, do you think that is what is happening in our country... ?.. still innocent school kids are force fed the wrong notion that Hindi is our national language especially in Central Government run schools. A non-hinidian is always looked down of being less patriotic if he doesnt know hindi... . Matter of fact tax payers crores of rupees have been pumped to promote hindi imposition...which could as well be put to better use in terms of more security, eradicate poverty..
Coming to your notion of National Army and National Security Guards... States have willingly delegated defence responsibilities to the Centre.. but what have they done.. ? they have kept the NSG only in Delhi and have ignored other states which clearly showed in the amount of time NSG took to reach Mumbai.. common its not as if only Delhi citizens pay their tax and only they deserve an NSG. Moreover states have provided equal infrastructure in terms of acres of land, other facilities to these Defence organistaions in their respective locations .. so its their duty to protect the whole nation with no discrimination.
I am sure you know it was not just people from one state who were present in the NSG.. there were people from all corners of the country.. its ridiculous how few people made fun of the marathis that outsiders protected their city.. common all the slain ATS officers were marathis and the countless police who died were also marathis..
Its not the non-hindian states who are being parochial but its because of the superiority complex of hindians who are continuosly disrepecting the language, culture and the local citizens of a state they immigrate to with a notion that they speak the national language called Hindi and dont have to care about the local culture, language and natives.
If India indeed is a Democracy and believes in Unity in Diversity.. Central Government should first stop imposing a regional language called hindi on non-hindian states... Do you think that is a possibility... ? ... I doubt that will happen ever...
No we do not need one Raj Thackrey.. We are Kannadigas and we need Kannadigas to be one.. Each Kannadiga must become a leader and do his/her duty... If we learn to respect ourselves n learn to make any other outsider to respect us, we will win and no one can opress us. I personally do not like Raj bacause he believes in killing people, we Kannadigas need not stoop down to his level. All we need is that no one disrespects us and takes away what is ours. I believe there is no need for violence to make this happen.
i m frm Bihar and i m ashamed wat biharis hav don.strict & legal actions should b taken against such goons whu take law for granted.
I recently visited Sri Sri Ravishankar's ashram outside bangalore. There everybody who is employed from the watchman to the top man is a north indian. And everybody speaks in hindi only. From security guard to info centre to the restaurant , everybody speaks in hindi only.
Citibank ATMs have instruction in only hindi and english. Also warning messages on the ATM machine are in hindi only. Citibank things kannadigas and non-hindians do not deserve to be protected from any type of mistakes they or the ATM machine might commit. Kannadigas need not be instructed fully on how to operate the ATM. Thats the attitude of the citibank corporation.
Veerappan was born in Karnataka and he killed people right across the southern states. So should we all start complaining that the people of Karnataka are bandits?
The answer is simply NO. Any gross generalization is a STRICT NO. A law and order problem is a law and order problem. A criminal is a criminal.
'Kanndiga chauvinism' is being displayed over Bangaluru. The irony of the matter is that the work that is done of our bangaluru has a great amount of out-sourced work from the Western worlds. You are fighting amongst the people of your own country. You are not prepared to let people of other states work in your state. What if the same attitude is replicated in the Western World and their chauvinist groups demand and stop all out-sourcing. What would happen to Bangaluru of today? I know it was a beautiful city earlier that has now been converted to a concrete jungle. However, the reason that made Bangaluru world famous would be gone. There would be un-employement all around. Is that acceptable to you all?
If any of you who are so full of 'Kannadiga' pride says NO, he is the biggest hypocrite in the whole world. Either have same yardsticks for everybody or else you are no better than the politicians who divide and rule.
And surely I now understand why we are under-developed and how such a large nation got conquered by every damn invader. We have no work other than fighting on emotive issues.
I don't know but CBSE shool books certainly say India has 21 national languages. I don't know which books you referred to. Everybody wants to learn English today. I am sure nobody has time to fight for Hindi or other regional languages unless they don't have anything better to do.
I am from ASSAM, we have seen enough bihari menace. These goons are unfit to live in socitey, only place which can tolerate them is BIHAR and Only ROBBERY DEVI land.
First of all it is BengaLuru.. not Bangaluru.... Agreed work which is been done in BengaLuru is outsourced from west... but what every one is trying to say is...people who migrate from other states do not care a damn about the locals...instead of learning to be one amongst the locals they try to impose their language upon us... also agreed everyone is trying to learn english and not any other Indian Languages.. but what hurts a kannadiga most is an outsider who comes from other states never considers every one as equal.. he/she will make it a point to promote their own state people even if there is a better/capable kannadiga who can do the same work much effectively. Tell me if this is treating every Indian as equal ?. Dont tell me only kannadigas have to be accomodative and leave these chauvinists to steal what rightly a kannadiga deserves.. This is not the case in any particular company.. its all over... . All HR departments are dominated by either Tamilians or Mallus... you know what they do.. they go to their own states to do campus recruitment even though karnataka has lot of good engineering colleges... In the few colleges which they do visit in karnataka.. they make sure only a non kannadiga gets recruited...again dont say this is too much of a generalisation.. its a fact happening here and every kannadiga would have faced it one form or the other.
Coming to what Harish has mentioned... its a fact Central Govt has always projected only Hindi as the sole Indian Language.. that is why we see Hindi in Citibank ATMs. Why should a non-hindian be treated as a second grade citizen in his own land just because he doesnt speak hindi ?.. its not only with Citibank ATMs.. take the railways.. oil companies...anything which is central in nature has only hindi... even emergency exit instructions in Trains are in Hindi... so do they mean only hindian lives are precious and all other language people either learn hindi or perish ?..You gave the example of the currency notes which displays all national languages.. other than currency notes show me any other place where all languages get equal status ?.. even the PSLV launch vehicle used by ISRO just had hindi on it eventhough all the scientic work would have been in English and the key scientists for the moon mission were non-hindians. Dont you think this is nothing but a slap on democracy ?.. I can go on like this giving more and more examples of hindi superiority complex and its imposition. Matter of fact there are enough articles about it in this blog itself..
Coming to the CBSE books ... good if they have mentioned all 21 languages as National Languages.. but personally i have seen 4th standard ICSE syllabus social science which mentions Hindi as the National Langauge... not to mention even state syllabus books have it mentioned... tell me one good reason why students of karnataka need to learn three languages when all your central schools teach only hindi and english no matter wherever they are ?... Hindi is a compulsory subject in primary schools of karnataka...why the extra burden ?..show me one school in North India which teaches any of the south indian languages as a compulsory subject ?.. Does it mean only south indians have to learn hindi to be a patriotic Indian and North Indians dont have to care about anything other than Hindi .. ? Do you think that is indeed equal treatment of all Indians as one? ...
Coming to invasions... I am not sure if you know but most of the mughal rulers got utmost resistance from the south especially Kannadigas when rest of the country happily surrendered to them (If possible try to learn about the history of Kumararama from Kummata, Madakari Nayaka from Chitradurga, Vijayanagara empire and n number of kings who fought to protect the land from invasion ).. in return what do we learn in Indian History.. only Akbar.. Shahjahan... even Karnataka syllabus does not depict their own history with full pride.
And when most part of the country was under British control it was Tipu Sultan from karnataka who resisted them big time...so dont generalise invasion happened because of the diversity... it happened because of double gaming amongst our own people which happens even to this day.
Very well said... AngelzFear seems to be a person who is not from this world. He is a brainwashed Indian. He thinks that it is wrong that Kannadigas are asking for jobs in Karnataka to be theirs. I do not understand why he has given Veerappan's example. Everyone knows he was a tamilian. Atleast people were aware of what harm he could do. But when it comes to people of other states who come to our state n try to do their best to get their profit out of us, its as good as back-stabbing. Its so difficult to make people aware of this danger until its too late.
Lot of us kannadigas are finding that there are less and less kannadigas getting recrutied to software companies. Only AngelzFear cant see this.
And I dont think people everywhere are trying to learn english.. Most kannadigas in BengaLuru are becoming more and more proficient in hindi.. Wonder when our govt will open its eyes and stop teaching hindi to kids in our state. I seriuosly see no profit or advantage in this burdening.
And today when I was travelling from MaLavaLLi to Shimsha, both of which are almost town-villages, 80% of mile stones are in hindi/english.. no trace of Kannada. My dad told me that this is so right from 1960s.. even during his school days they all had held protests to oppose hindi.. even then, nothin happened.. This clearly shows how inadequate the govts by so called national parties so far have been in our state.
I really hope all Kannadigas learn to try and include Kannadigas as much as possible where-ever possible.. else we will soon be outlanders in our own land.. nammooralli naave anaatharaagodu beDa alwa?
I personally have experienced these north indian attrocities. I went to attend an interview in HP and when we were waiting outside to be called, the guy who was sitting behind us in the queue was called much earlier to us just because the HR person and this guy were both from the same state. It always happens that companies have a crowd of people from same state, same language always.
This is because a person from Bihar would always want people from his own state to be in the company so that they can meet often, indulge in a talk about their state, language etc. I have seen 80% tamilians under a tamilian team leader, mostly mallus under a mallu team leader. When it comes to kannadigas, forget team leaders, team managers i see 1 or 2 kannadigas in some team. This happens becos these telugus, tamilians support and recruit people from their language, region etc. My kannadiga friend who is part of the interview process in HP has told me that some of his telgu friends when interviewing the candidates look at their pesonal profile first, if they see any mention of Andhra pradesh or telugu in the resume, then they have better chances of getting recruited even if that guy's experience is a fake
These non kannadigas speak about unity, indianness. Is it the sole responsibility of only the kannadigas to feel patriotic, treat all indians as one, Speak in their language even when we are in our own state...This is all bullshit...
I am an Indian because i am a kannadiga and not vice versa. Do these north indians think only the people from North are fighting terrrorists. We have our own kannadigas in army as well so thinking only hindi speaking people are protecting india is crap.
In functions, celebrations organised in companies, these north indians yell out saying "Kannada baralla" when someone starts singing a kannada song. WHy ? We are not singing a kannada song outside of our state...but still this is happening inside s/w companies running business in our state. This is pathetic...
Thanks.... whatever you have mentioned are hard facts.. but whats more depressing is lot of brainwashed kannadigas feel proud to accept Hindi as the national language and dont even hesitate to speak to a fellow kannadiga in hindi.. I have personally experienced this .. a colleague of mine from mysore kept talking to me in hindi..even after knowing I am a Kannadiga...I kept ignoring his hindi, then he realised and started speaking in kannada. How many of Kannadigas do that .. ?, instead of teaching kannada to others they would happily show their proficiency in different languages.. this is the main thing which others encash and never try to learn the language of the land. Above that even if some people are interested in learning..they would discourage them by making fun of them.
Whatever you have mentioned is so true... these outsiders make sure to hire people from their own state/language and finally boast that kannadigas do not have the skills, thats why they are less in numbers in IT. Unless fellow kannadigas realise this back stabbing.. there will be a day when kannadigas presence in IT would be wiped out. Kannadigas need to unite irrespective of caste, creed and religion to fight this menace.
Coming to celebrations at companies... mostly it would by default be a hindi/english one.... . Even if some companies try to fit in some kannada programmes these outsiders wouldnt dare to make fun of these things... so how much indian are they who make fun of a fellow indian and his language. All these people lecture us about being an Indian and accomodative of other languages when they themselves openly disrespect the language of the land which is feeding them. Ultimately this Indianness applies to only kannadigas for them.. when the hard fact is people still consider themselves as a Tamilian.. Telguite.. Mallu...and not as Indians.
So why not a Kannadiga be proud of what he/she is and expect that jobs generated in their state should go to them. Forget skilled jobs , even unskilled 'D' group jobs in railways are being cheated to a local. When a person is being cheated in his own place...do these pseudo nationalists still expect him/her to be accomadative and render his/her family without basic needs. Time and again its proven that these national parties are slaves to their 'high commands' and do not have any interest to protect Kannada, Kannadiga and Karnataka.. its high time that a regional party comes in to power in karnataka... looks like thats the only way our interests could be protected.
The only solution would be that we all start a state wide protest asking for Sarojini Mahishi report to be brought into effect. How long does the Karnataka government need to open its eyes? Ooru koLLe hoDd mele baagl haako hang aagde idre saaku.. eeglu time ide.. if we do something now, we can expect that Kannada and Kannadigas are not wiped out from face of India...
i want to you only thing is that we r not politically equal in centre as compare to hindi bhashi ( i am marathi but my many friends and acquintance are south people and north people also )
In our parliement 552 seat in lok sabha (lower house)87 out of them filled from old U.P. And 64 or 68 from Bihar. And 210 to 230 are hindi bhashi MPs in our parliament. obiviosly they will see towards welfare of there peoples. It is not bad on there part also. These peoples have power and they mis using the power.
i am from maharashtra .... i have seen how these northys dominate the local culture and language .... soon they will oppose boards in your own language .... bring their cheaper (by both means attitude and economically) labour from up bihar and local guys will be jobless.... you will see most of the people in railway are biharis ... road contractors will be bhaiyas and their labours will be bhaiyas... above all they will say local here are chors and they demand high wage (why not they have families to look after..they are not leave their families mercy of others and go to other state for work)..... what happened in mumbai (rahul raj) these northys made him a big hero but he was criminal that was proven in the end ( every showed news as if raj killed that criminal) ...these northindians do not see development of their own state and teach us who have developed their state above all they say its coz of the ppl who have come from outside that these states have developed (who told u to come btw and if u hate locals in any state no one is forcing you to stay here)
second thing we love our own language and we will speak that i dont know hindi i will either speak english or my local language if at all i have to go out of my state i will learn the local language of that state if i have to stay there for longer duration that is how i will earn respect in their eyes by giving them respect ...no one will oppose to adopt part of my culture this is how india will become one ...not by only hindi speaking guys will impose hindi on every state ..... these northys are themself anti indians and they teach us how to be indians...
This moment will start in every non hindi speaking state if hindi speaking guys will start dominating rite now its happening in zarkhand............ hindi speakers should learn how to respect first then they should be preaching about nationalism and stuff
They said they had earlier asked Bihar police to help in tracing the MP but could not manage to get him. "We were told by our Bihar counterparts that the MP was not traceable," a senior officer, engaged in the investigation, said.
After his arrest in 2005 following recovery of some arms, the Jammu and Kashmir police are now preparing grounds for questioning him after a militant of the Hizbul Mujahideen outfit said during interrogation that he had supplied AK rifles and pistols to him in Delhi.
A report to this effect had also been sent to the Union Home Ministry. During the nearly three-year-long investigations, police had arrested a militant of Hizbul Mujahideen Mushtaq Ahmed, who, during interrogation, revealed that Shahabuddin had visited Kupwara town on three occasions during which he had fixed a deal for supply of arms and ammunition to him in Delhi, the sources said.
The state police, along with central intelligence agencies, had sent a report to the Home Ministry and also shared the information with Director General of Bihar Police and Inspector General of Muzzafarpur about the links.
According to the report, the MP is claimed to have got in touch with some of the Kashmiri students studying in Siwan's dental college, who turned out to be sleeping cells of Hizbul Mujahideen. On their insistence, Shahabuddin travelled to Kulan gaon in Kupwara on three occasions. Twice he is said to have met senior Hizb commanders and fixed a deal for supplying AK-47 and pistols to him.
The first consignment comprising three AK-47 rifles and three pistols were sent to him in apple truck and the MP is alleged to have received it from Azadpur Subzi Mandi and later drove in his personal car to his official residence at Six-Meena Bagh in Srinagar [Images], the sources said adding, the arms were later taken to a house in Muzzafarpur.
The second consignment comprised only three AK-47 rifles and the delivery of the same were again allegedly taken by Shahabuddin from Murthal on the outskirts of the national capital before being smuggled to Patna. |
