Ten Priorities for Data Center Managers The theme that will dominate the top of the to-do list of data center professionals in 2013 can be summarized in one word: power. Specifically, how to use less of it, according to a recent survey from the Uptime Institute Network. The resulting report, "Top 10 Data Center Technology Priorities for 2013," covers a wide range of issues affecting the industry, but those addressing power-related challenges loom largest, as data centers account for 2 percent of all electricity used in the United States, according to an estimate from Stanford University. For data center managers and teams, finding better ways to reduce the energy needed to operate and cool facilities isn't just a matter of going green for ecological reasons. It also involves pursuing mandates from the C-suite that benefit the bottom line. The Uptime Institute Network serves as a knowledge community of data center professionals to identify and share best practices, quantify metrics and improve data center availability as a resource for core business functions. This list represents the most pressing business issues that members will attempt to resolve for the year ahead. Data center owners and operators from 100 companies took part in the research.

Oddly paced thriller with big credibility holes deals a tense, claustrophobic hand but can't get past a silly plotline that never once seems believable. Taut and edgy in some moments, but purely outrageous when it counts most., telepic is more of an exercise in behavior than in narrative since it takes place, for the most part, in one house. An oddly paced thriller with big credibility holes, CBS’ “Footsteps” deals a tense, claustrophobic hand but can’t get past a silly plotline that never once seems believable. Taut and edgy in some moments, but purely outrageous when it counts most, telepic is more of an exercise in behavior than in narrative since it takes place, for the most part, in one house. Only problem is, the characters presented aren’t very interesting; they’re TV cutouts who lack any subtlety.Based on an unproduced play by Ira Levin, whose “Deathtrap” is one of many influences here along with “Misery” and “Wait Until Dark,” show is unconscionably simple in description but, as proven, not so easy to execute. An though it’s always nice to see director John Badham in action — he ups the suspense ante at certain points — the payoff will ultimately mean more to undemanding readers of dime-store novels. Candice Bergen is Daisy Lowendahl, a pulp-crime writer whose books have sold millions but who can’t get jazzed about anything. In fact, she’s been an emotional wreck ever since she purposefully killed off her main franchise draw, unable to do simple tasks without the assistance of hubby Robbie (Michael Murphy). Wanting desperately to prove she can be alone, she returns solo to her beachfront residence, just trying to get through the days without massive panic attacks. Her plan is ruined when she finds in her closet Spencer Weaver (Bug Hall), a lanky local who claims he’s just a fan and really doesn’t have any violent motives behind the stupid prank. Just as she’s hearing him out, along comes police detective Eddie Bruno (Bryan Brown), a rough-edged charmer who says Robbie asked him to check on Daisy. As Daisy sorts out the truth, she must make split decisions and put her phobias on hold. Armed with a high-concept design and several opportunities to have fun with some genre elements, Badham keeps things moving as much as he can. But more suited, due to its genesis, to the stage than the tube, the actions are too clunky and the words too stilted. (Project was adapted by Shelley Evans.) Perfs are also awkward. Bergin’s overly mannered speech is so glaringly strange that it’s hard to picture her all the rage even as a populist author. Her condition also makes all of what transpires too transparent: Fear grips her, yet she doesn’t seem that freaked out about anything that’s happening. Brown’s whimsical approach to questionable activity and Hall’s wide-eyed gushing don’t do much for the seriousness of it all. Filmed in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the pic’s major set — a nicely designed country home with a lived-in look — is on the money.

A web-based system for individualised survival estimation in breast cancerBMJ 2003; 326 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.326.7379.29 (Published 04 January 2003) Cite this as: BMJ 2003;326:29 - Johan Lundin, researcher, - Mikael Lundin, researcher, - Jorma Isola, professor, - Heikki Joensuu, professor - Department of Oncology, University of Helsinki, FIN-00290, Helsinki, Finland - Institute of Medical Technology, University of Tampere and Tampere University Hospital, FIN-33014 Tampere, Finland - Molecular/Cancer Biology Research Programme and Department of Oncology, University of Helsinki, FIN-00290, Helsinki, Finland Clinicians want prognostic tools that not only aid prognostic classification, but also give quantitative probabilities of survival.1 We describe a way of generating survival estimates that uses existing survival data and generates survival curves online dynamically. On the website http://finprog.primed.info/ a selection of prognostic factors are available for case-match survival estimation (figure).* The default selection in the drop down list for each factor is “all,” which means that no selection has been made for the specific factor. The user can enter a prognostic factor profile by selecting any of the categories in the drop down lists. The software then queries the database to retrieve data on patients with matching prognostic profiles and known outcome and calculates a survival curve according to the Kaplan-Meier product-limit method using the actual survival data of all matching patients. The number of patients at risk, the confidence intervals for the Kaplan-Meier estimates, and the median survival time are also displayed. The user can compare two factor profiles by clicking the “two profiles” option. The distribution of patients according to vital status, therapy received, or a specific prognostic factor can also be displayed as a table or a chart (figure). The website also contains basic information about survival statistics and the prognostic factors, including guidelines for selecting variables and interpreting the results. This case-match survival estimation system could be applied to any clinical database with time to event information. At our website it is applied to the FinProg breast cancer series,2 which includes individual clinical data on women diagnosed with breast cancer in 1991–2 in five regions of Finland (representing about 50% of the Finnish population). The minimum prognostic factor information was available for 2842 patients (91% of all cases in the five regions and 51% of all breast cancers diagnosed in Finland in 1991-2). After we excluded some cases (in situ carcinoma, bilateral tumour, etc), 2032 patients were left in the final data set. All personal identification information was deleted before linking the database to the website. The distant disease free survival is calculated from the date of diagnosis to the occurrence of metastases outside the locoregional area and survival to death from breast cancer. Patients who died of other causes or were lost to follow up are censored. The prognostic factors available on the website are those recommended by the National Institutes of Health Consensus Development Panel3 and the International Consensus Panel on the Treatment of Primary Breast Cancer.4 The advantage of this system is that clinicians and researchers can obtain survival estimates based on actual data, rather than inferential estimates generated by a regression formula. The output is a survival curve for the entire available follow up period and not just for a single time point. However, the robustness and accuracy of the Kaplan-Meier estimates depend on the quality of the underlying data set. Users are not restricted to a single model but can enter any prognostic factor data they have available. However, the more variables selected the fewer patients will match the selected categories and the more uncertain the survival estimates. Users should thereforestudy the variable selection guide on the websiteand select the most important variables first, keeping an eye on the number of matching patients and the confidence intervals. Our system also responds to a demand for openness, giving other researchers the possibility to check not only published results but also to further explore the database. It offers a compromise between demands to make raw data available and the reluctance of many researchers entirely to release their valuable datasets. This interactive, web based system may facilitate explorative analyses of prognostic factors and could be applied to a variety of diseases. The breast cancer prognostic system is available at http://finprog.primed.info/.

Reviewed by Patrick Cooper: You know what would be cool? A movie about a giant winged lizard that tears apart citizens of a major metropolitan city. It’s tough to tell from the promotional art, but Q the Winged Serpent is not that movie. Or at least, it’s much more juicy than it appears on the surface. Written and directed by prolific B-movie legend Larry Cohen, Q focuses on the rise and fall of a petty criminal believably portrayed by Michael Moriarty. And it’s about human sacrifice rites. There just happens to be a Mesoamerican serpent deity caught up in the mix. This small time hood, Jimmy Quinn, is the only one in Manhattan who knows where the murderous serpent is nesting. He stumbles into its nest while fleeing a botched robbery. David Carradine and Shaft play the cops investigating a series of what appear to be human sacrifices – flayed skin, beheadings… the usual. They’re also taxed with the painful task of babysitting Quinn and getting him to squawk about the serpent’s location. It’s not so easy lassoing the man’s unearned ego. Moriarty worked with Cohen a bunch of times and his portrayal of Quinn is easily their greatest creation. He’s a sweaty, self-serving ball of ambition that winds up too clever for his own good. As far as petty crooks go, he’s a pretty complex guy. He reminds me a lot of the classic noir anti-hero who’s consumed by the fast buck but is doomed by his own shortcomings. In Quinn’s case, it’s his ego that seals his fate. When journalists barrage him, he jumps in front of their flashbulbs like a real hero would a bullet. He’s also got an anxious, really nervous side that peeks out a lot. While he may come off as a goof, keep in mind he does manage to outwit his criminal cohorts and extort a million from the city of New York. That’s hard shit, man. As Quinn burrows his way through the city, dodging the fuzz and a giant lizard, the two dicks Carradine and Shaft are on the human sacrifice case. This is the cool procedural aspect to Q that involves snooping around museums and questioning scholars. Turns out some manic clown is sacrificing poor saps to summon Q, who in turn is feasting on sunbathers and window washers. All of the plot points mentioned so far could fill up three movies, but Cohen gives it to us in one ambitious, gritty NYC movie mashup. We don’t see a lot of the serpent until near the end of the film. Before that we see only his giant claws and mouth and hear his shrill call. For its meager 1982 budget, the special effects look decent 30 years later. Of course there are some glaring hiccups watching it on Blu-ray, especially during the end throwdown. But watching a dummy cop plummet off a blue screen building is still engaging no matter how cheap it looks. Thanks to Moriarty’s kickass performance and actual shooting locations, the film doesn’t need a high body count or gratuitous nudity to entertain. I could’ve watched a movie just about Quinn and Carradine outwitting each other on the tough streets of NYC. That’s what helps separate Q from the classic creature features- the monster plays second fiddle to some truly memorable characters. It’s a badass second fiddle though. Check it out. Q the Winged Serpent is presented in 1080p HD in 1.78:1 widescreen. There are a lot of soft colors up in here, so no visuals really pop. The definition and details are strong though. The lossless audio is fine – nothing to highlight, nothing to bitch about. Audio Commentary with Larry Cohen: this is a newly recorded track and if you’re a fan of Q, then buckle up. Cohen delivers an entertaining and insightful track that digs deep into all aspects of the film. He kicks things off with a humorous and sorta sad anecdote about the film’s test screening. He also talks about firing off machine guns while unsuspecting New Yorkers moved about below and the passing of David Carradine. Cohen knows how to spin a yarn, making this track a must-listen for fans. BD Mobile App this week in horror This Week in Horror - June 12, 2017 - Starship Troopers, Godzi...

My previous blog about UKIP & the anti Hs2 campaign both being a bunch of fantasists caused some squeals from the certain quarters. So, you can imagine my amusement when today’s events in the media only proved what I was saying. The Sunday Times ran a piece on some politicians packing their Twitter accounts with fake followers. One of the folk featured was none other than UKIPs candidate for Aylesbury Chris Adams, who tweets as @. He’s often tweeted nonsense & downright deceit about Hs2. Today the Times revealed that Adams claimed 30,000 Twitter followers whilst following 25,400 others whom he claimed to have ‘checked manually’. Yet, within a day of the ST contacting him he’d removed 25,200 people, leaving him following just 200. How odd. Unsurprisingly, he soon started hemorrhaging followers! One is forced to ask, what is it about UKIP & fake numbers? If it’s not Romanians, it’s… This tactic of packing your Twitter account with either fake followers or following accounts who guarantee to follow you back to make yourself look important & have influence seems to be common to the anti Hs2 mob too. I’ll highlight one of their more laughable Tweeters in another blog. You have to wonder. If the anti Hs2 campaign really does have the genuine mass support they claim. Why do so many of them have to resort to faking figures?

By Alan Duffy West Bromwich Albion 3-3 Tottenham Hotspur – Premier League – 13th April 2014 What a bizarre game this was. West Brom were a goal up after just 30 seconds, courtesy of Matej Vydra, before Chris Brunt and Stephane Sessegnon made it 3-0 to the hosts with just over half-an-hour played. However, an OG from Jonas Olsson soon after gave Spurs a way back into the game ahead of the second period. After the break, the visitors dominated, and Harry Kane’s strike on 70 minutes, his second from two starts for the Lilywhites, set up a dramatic finish which saw Christian Eriksen net the vital equaliser at the death, a goal which keeps Pepe Mel’s Baggies well and truly in the relegation scrap (three points clear of danger). Spurs, on the other hand, are now four point behind fifth-placed Arsenal.

Divine Inspiration Sparks 'Fire' And 'Funk' Fire in My Bones: Raw, Rare and Otherworldly African-American Gospel is a new three-CD set that explores the diversity of postwar gospel music. Across 80 songs spanning six decades, the collection ranges from scratchy field recordings to intricate vocal harmonies to snappy adaptations of rock 'n' roll rhythms. The different styles of gospel are also at the heart of Born Again Funk, the latest installment in the Good God! series which highlights gospel's collision with funk music of the '60s and '70s. I'm as secular as they come but you don't have to be a true believer to appreciate the idea of an inspirational Holy Ghost, living through music. Communing with some greater force, regardless of theological bent, is something music lovers seek every day. Gospel, in particular, can convey the emotional weight of its passions with a naked rawness. Fire in My Bones is a sprawling attempt to touch on black gospel's myriad forms from 1944 through 2007. Clocking in at nearly four hours, the set has no obvious chronological, geographical or topical structure. It can go from Oakland's Sister Mathews, backed only by a blues guitar, belting out "Stand By Me" in 1948; and then advance to 1973 and Brooklyn's Nathaniel Rivers, singing "The Wicked Shall Cease From Troubling" over a warbling organ; then slide down to South Carolina in 1963 with an a cappella rendition of "That's Alright" by Laura Rivers. Fire in My Bones is a sampler, not a primer, so perhaps it misses an opportunity to better educate the gospel neophytes. That said, even as the compilation jumps eras, cities and sensibilities, gospel's core elements become illuminated — especially the power of repetition. I hope I'm not being sacrilegious in suggesting that, just as with secular pop music, gospel loves a good hook. It's a point made amply clear on both Fire in My Bones and another new anthology, Born Again Funk. Born Again Funk hones in on small, independent-label gospel records, most of them recorded around Chicago during the 1970s. Compared to the vast scope of time, space and style covered by Fire in My Bones, Born Again Funk works in the opposite direction: It highlights both a regional scene and a cultural era in which the meld of gospel and secular music traditions seemed to hold no conflicts for those praising Sunday-morning psalms with rhythms designed to raise Saturday-night sweat. For those unfamiliar with the gospel funk tradition, this blend may seem like a novelty. But if you think about your favorite nights out dancing, it's easy to appreciate how the sultry, sensual, sacred and spiritual can easily coexist in any given moment. If one thing that both Born Again Funk and Fire In My Bones suggest is that at its most transcendent, the music isn't merely appealing; it's humbling. Copyright 2022 NPR.

The never-ending need for more capacity brought steady strides in switching technology as well. A simple architecture had been developed early on. Some switching stations handled local circuits, others connected clusters of these local centers, and still others dealt with long-distance traffic. Whenever congestion occurred, the routing was changed according to strict rules. By the 1970s Bell engineers had devised electromechanical switches that could serve more than 30,000 circuits at a time, but an emerging breed of computer-like electronic switches promised speed and flexibility that no electromechanical device could match. The move to electronic switching began in the 1960s and led to all-digital systems a decade later. Such systems work by converting voice signals into on-off binary pulses and assigning each call to a time slot in a data stream; switching is achieved by simply changing time slot assignments. This so-called time division approach also boosts capacity by packing many signals into the same flow, an efficient vehicle for transmission to and from communications satellites. Today's big digital switches can handle 100,000 or more circuits at a time, maintaining a remarkably clear signal. And like any computer, the digital circuits are versatile. In addition to making connections and generating billing information, their software enables them to provide customers with a whole menu of special services—automatically forwarding calls, identifying a caller before the phone is answered, interrupting one call with an alert of another, providing voice mail, and more. In recent decades, long-distance transmission has undergone a revolution, with such calls migrating from microwave and coaxial cable to threadlike optical fibers that channel laser light. Because light waves have extremely high frequencies, they can be encoded with huge amounts of digital information, a job done by tiny semiconductor lasers that are able to turn on and off billions of times a second. The first fiber-optic telephone links were created in the late 1970s. The latest versions, transmitting several independently encoded streams of light on separate frequencies, are theoretically capable of carrying millions of calls at a time or vast volumes of Internet or video traffic. Today, the world is wrapped in these amazing light pipes, and worries about long-distance capacity are a thing of the past (see Lasers and Fiber Optics).

Easter Seals and Charities We have been having a social impact by investing time and money into our community since we opened. Our focus has not been on the papyrus printed amongst the humans called currency, in various colors, nor bags of 30 pieces of silver. We believe that companies should be formed to make money and then help others on earth. Brian Dunn - a crippled Marine left to die Alone for Christmas Plastic Army men and women never seen Disfigured women veterans The Polar Bear Plunge Chefs Marti and Stormy Mongiello have taken a powerful and active role in high visibility charities across the United States of America, Europe and Asia spanning decades of hard work. Most recently, their companies have provided over 500 donations of room nights, cooking classes and financial gifts to veterans and charities of all kinds. Their primary focus has been on veterans since they are both disabled themselves and registered as disabled veterans with the Department of Veterans Affairs. The names of the charities are too long to list (many publicly thank The Inn of the Patriots on Facebook) and would bore most humans - thus allowing God to keep the master tally (phew! - thank you God). Raising money for Assisted Living and Life Enrichment Working with Food Banks worldwide Many food banks have been worked with including Aloha Harvest, The Catholic Church Missions in Japan, in Houston, Texas for, over 10,000 hungry on Thanksgiving and help days, cooking in Connecticut for the Holidays at the shelter in Groton, and others. Giving up Christmas Marching with veterans A local disappearance and tragedy Injured Marine helped to walk again The Mongiello Holdings, LLC companies, endorsed and joined www.buyveteran.com and NAVOBA. In May the primary landlord of the property (and owner) suddenly went bankrupt, and the Mongiello's were faced with attending the foreclosure auction of the mansion they had been leasing for so many years. Being in an awkward position with bookings into 2014 - they bought the property on the sidewalk of the Cleveland County Courthouse with a $7,500.00 down check. Doctor Dean and Anne Ornish stepped in as good friends and paid the rest of the fee off immediately. The Mongiello's then secured an SBA loan via the pro-veteran, Home Loan Investment Bank with Ocean Capital and Daniel Murphy. The Mongiello's repaid the Ornish family with interest and heralded them for saving their home, business, and operation. Dean said it best when he said, "pay it forward!" Working to help Easter Seals Stop Child Abuse Now Cancer Services of Gaston County ASMBA Star Foundation We also visited Camp Luck for children with heart replacements and heart challenges, financed and supported the entire Black Hero Celebration and Dedication Day of Ishmael Titus on the Charlotte Walk of Fame. We opened up and funded the Catawba Nation Hero Painting of Captain Redhead who helped create America (released in February 2016). In August, we supported the Kings Mountain Farmers Market with a Kid's Cooking Class donated to raise awareness of farming. We had previously donated a class to the market earlier in the year, and it went well. The murder of a local, little girl In 2018, the entire family returned from Chicago and placed a bright lamp into the flowers of the property. They spread Jordyn's ashes onto the Carolina coastal waters. They attended the murder trial of the child each day and the full judgment of life in prison for the man who killed the child. The family stayed at The Inn of the Patriots in Grover, NC, again with financial assistance provided by the Mongiello's and filmed the full statement of anger, hurt, and sorrow, to WCCB and Morgan Fogarty. If you would like to see Josh's full interview, and the full-sized drawing, click here. The drawing shown here depicts the ideas of Chef Marti shared with the family. It has been comforting to know that in all things of the universe, God makes everything right. His son, the Christ, took Jordyn to Disneyworld and arranged for her to enjoy the exclusive, $4800.00 per night Princess Suite in the middle castle. Jordyn has grown and aged while staying for close to two years. What has been particularly lovely is the golden carriage picks her up on mornings she would like to go around the park. For the first few weeks, that carriage was at the front gates every day! In the time after that, Jordyn's interest waned and time staying in has grown. Sleeping is something no longer used or needed in heaven as is controlling the intake of sweets, McDonald's every day, weight gain, illness, or disease. Mostly, it's a full-on, whole hog, strap on a feed bag, all-day long with sodas and pies festival. I ask you, what kid doesn't enjoy dessert?! And the bakers have been overjoyed to send tray after tray up on silver wheeled carts. Many may be shocked to see how she has aged with her new step-dad by her side, Jesus Christ the Lord our God. Christ was the first to greet her when she walked in. He gave her instantaneous wisdom and knowledge, universal comprehension of what had happened and how her second life would begin, bewilderment was removed with any loneliness, or, "where am I and who are you with the hairy face?" (first documented words out of her mouth). Christ smiled and touched her mind without his hand and spoke in the quiet of power and gentleness. "I am the power, and in charge of everything, I am the alpha, and the omega who rides on a white steed with my blood-drenched cape and I allow and see all until I say what will and what will not, child." Jordyn was imparted with all-seeing and childish meetings of family members who were surprised themselves to be meeting her so soon. "We had expected to be meeting John next, admittedly, in some time to come but not you child," stated Christ. "Here are your aunts and uncles, cousins and family and this process of meeting and spending time with each can take up to ten of the earth years to complete. Typically, a person will then move on to finding and visiting for months at a time with famed humans in the history of your particular planet, that is called the earth." The diamonds on the carriage glisten in the early morning sun still to pick up Jordyn. Generally reserved for the evening Disney parade, Jordyn has even just ridden around in it during the day, waving to other children. And here is a beautiful fact of kindness - she has surprised families and children by often calling for the carriage to stop! Isn't it heartwarming to know the truth that an invitation to come on and get in has occurred, and its happened numerous times. How kind, how loving. Thank you, sweetheart, for sharing with others. (This drawing was commissioned for free by Martin CJ Mongiello to express his ideas and thoughts about Jordyn, and he is not a medium or claims to be any kind of visionist. Krister Gustafsson of Australia completed the drawing for free in a love offering listening to the sights and sounds of Marti, and both men love children. They are working on an advanced daycare center for children that embraces love, kindness, imagination, and the gift of creation and play. It can be seen at www.magicgarden.life as part of the efforts in advertising and marketing clients they help every day via Mongiello Associates Strategic Marketing Firm at www.mongielloassociates.com ).

Being just 12 kms outside Bathurst, Perthville seems almost a suburb but retains the characteristics of a country town with a pub, general store and school. Even the railway line is active with freight trains. I guess it's also close enough to the big smoke to draw some of its prosperity from it. It was originally gazetted as Perth but after federation had its name changed to Perthville to avoid confusion with the Western Australian capital city. This town seems to be a rare case of not being a gold mining town. It was a stopping off point for bullockies and coach travellers. But don't worry there are more gold towns coming up on this trip. See the pub at Perthville over at 100 Towns.

She was a sweet Puerto Rican, full of life, full of spunk nail girl who would not let me relax. She proceeded to tell me ALL about herself...in a very quick, hard to understand accent. All about her life in the states, and her two kids in Puerto Rico who just didn't want to come to Virginia, so she left them with her mom. They are 5 and 12! Huh? I didn't pry even though I was very curious. As I lifted my magazine back up to my eyes Marta would start again. Finally after several attempts to veg, I tossed it aside and I listened to her talk about her weekends clubbing with her girlfriends while her husband is on business. I listened to her talk about what movies she liked, what food she cooks, what her best friend in Puerto Rico does for exercise. I listened. Something clicked as I listened to Marta. This is going to sound simple, but it's revolutionary. What if our real mission in life is to be like Jesus?? WHAT?? Can you see it? The skies are opening up...bells are ringing. I just stumbled onto something BIG! What if it's not about surrounding yourself with people like you, but opening yourself up to strangers and letting them in...people completely 100% different than you, people who you have absolutely nothing in common with, people who make you laugh and look at life differently. What if it's not about surrounding yourself with mirror images and those with common interests, but just the opposite?? I'm not sure why, but for some reason alot of the people here are just that for me. What if instead of holding "differences" at arms length I'm to embrace them fully and let these people wiggle into my heart and in the process show them love....HIS love. I can feel it. My love glasses are starting to come out. I'm tired of squinting at the sun. I'm fully ready to sport my new look and it's got hearts and glitter and sparkle all over it. Have a blessed day.

Wednesday, March 30, 2005 100 :). The test was sort of easy, just drove for 2 min, park here, park there, join trafic, pretty simple basic things. No parking on the steep hills that rahul made me do, and which made me cry, and not right hand parking too. Monday, March 28, 2005 After a long dry sunny winter, rainy days seem to be back in seattle. Its been cloudy since last weekend, and has been drizzling seattle style for more than 4 days now. I am as usual feeling great about the weather, yes great and not gloomy. It reminds me so much of the monsoon. Its just a little colder, although sitting inside warm house, warm car and then warm office, I do not think that its at all fair to complain a bit about cold. Friday, March 25, 2005 is about real life, about a mother with a teenager daughter (american of course). Not that I had anything to gain from this book, but it was an interestingly different reading after all those fantacy, adventure books which tell stories which happen in some far far away world. Its the story of a very average american family, no millionairs making everday trips to london and paris. A nice no brainer bed time read. Monday, March 21, 2005 Finally when I was beginning to believe that I am doomed to live in a rain less land, we landed on a rainy weekend in seattle. This was definately the worst weekend for it to come though. All our hike and outing plans for the weekend were washed away. Though seattle rain is definately not the thing that can stop us from having a nice long hike in the Rainier. Monday, March 14, 2005 Friday, March 11, 2005 Sunday, March 06, 2005 I was so happy with my machine, with my windows XP, untill one fatal day I installed SP2. After that machine has just been a pain to use. Everytime I switch on the machine, there are a hundred popups about things been not updated, virus hoaxes, no wireless, and what not, and it takes like 20 min, to get rid of all those bubbles and start doing some actual work. Is there any way I can tell this super intelligent SP2 that my machine is offline, and been like that for 6 months and I know things are not up to date and my wireless is not connected. As if this was not enough. We tried to get cable internet at home, (to update all those things and get rid of the stupid warnings), and guess what, SP2's security would not let us get it online. 3 days of hour long phone calls with internet support also could not help it. Then as last resort, I connected my other machine which does not have SP2 on it, and boom, everything is up with no effort! So much so for a secure system. Thursday, March 03, 2005 Have you ever talked, rather chatted on yahoo messenger, with people who have really really long bye messages. Its funny, its nice too, but it really annoys me when I end the conversion with, hey, i got to get back to work, I am running late, etc. etc., and they are all genuine. You say that and say bye. They also say bye and you are happy, and you close the window. Then the window pops up with a 'take care'. Nice :), you say 'you too' and close the window. But its back, 'see you later'. Oh, how nice, I do want to see you, but laaaaater. You again say 'you too', uff, its over. Close the window. There again it pops up, now what!! Just a 'ok, bye', although the bye happened like an hour ago. Sometimes people are just too nice, but would it not be nicer if they just complied all these nice bye messages in one. 'Bye, take care and see you later, ok bye'. End of Conversation!!%% Tuesday, March 01, 2005 While I was waiting for DaVinci Code, I came upon this book, actually suring my short stay at mountain view. Overall its a interesting book, nothing misleading about the book, its got something to do with digital security world. There is no mystery to solve here as such, but its interesting, a book full of plots, pland and surprises, which is exactly what makes book interesting according to me. Writing is good, and tastefully different from most of the other popular books. There are ofcourse weak points, like story unnecessarily stretched at places, where you just feel like shouting, enough!!! Cannot compare it with the more popular DaVinci Code as I have not read that. After more than 2 weeks of unusual weather, we finally got to see some drizzling in redmond. Its strange how everything is so ulta-pulta this year, with tonnes of snow in kashmir, plenty rain in the deserts of california and unlimited sunshine in Seattle. The weather people are calling it La Nina, the female version of el nino :)

It is two special occasions for us this week. First off, the 2018 Hale Aina Awards presented by Honolulu Magazine is happening this Sunday at the Royal Hawaiian! We were fortunate and honored to win several awards last year, including Restauranteur of the Year that was shared between Chef Andrew and Mama Le. It was a total surprise and truly an eventful evening that we will never forget. This year, we are back and also nominated for the same categories, essentially, including Best New Restaurant for PIGGY SMALLS. We have to admit that the competition is extra tough this year and whoever wins, will totally deserve it, because 2017 has been a stellar year for the restart scene in Hawaii with several high level openings in the past few months. But, whatever the outcome, we are truly humbled to be a part of this community. Tickets are still on sale for this year's Hale Aina Awards. Come join the fun and see us there! Secondly, and more importantly, it is Mama Le’s birthday this Friday! The true boss of this whole operation, Mama Le celebrated a fun dinner at the Blaisdell Farmers Market today with some close friends. She also had sake and beer! Although she is small, she can hold her liquor, which was pretty impressive, especially since she went shopping post-dinner! Anyway, if you see our matriarch this week, wish her a happy birthday! We are trying to organize a Vegas trip for her, since she loves to hit the blackjack tables. If anyone has gambled with Mama, she’s got a great strategy, feigning ignorance and asking “beginner” questions with the dealers and players on the table, but she definitely knows what she is doing, and many times, laughing all the way to the bank. Wish her luck because she will definitely bring her frog pin! Meanwhile, here is the farmers market menu for the week: BUDDHA BOWL — stewed carrots, shiitake mushrooms, cauliflower, bitter melon, bell peppers, tofu, bean curd, korean multi-grain purple rice BUN CHA HANOI — grilled pork patties, grilled pork in savory room temperature broth, fresh vegetables, pickled vegetables aka do chua, vermicelli noodles GRILLED LA LOT BANH MI — grilled and savory pork sausage wrapped in betel nut leaves, pickled vegetables, toasted banh mi BUN MANG VIT — smoked duck, bamboo, shiitake, fresh herbs, shiso, fresh cut noodles To check our the rest of the menu and schedule, head over to the Farmers Market Page.

Artificial Intelligence Mines ECG Data to Estimate ‘Physiologic Age’ Future research will focus on what a heightened ECG-predicted age means for disease prevention, and on what action is needed. It’s possible that an electrocardiogram can do more than provide information about the heart’s electrical rhythms. New artificial intelligence (AI) research indicates that potentially actionable health information gleaned from this simple test can be used to estimate a “physiologic age” and maybe even to prevent disease among healthy adults. “The ECG can tell us a lot more about an individual than simply about their heart health, and neural networks and artificial intelligence techniques can allow for that,” senior study author Suraj Kapa, MD (Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN), told TCTMD. “The potential for an electrocardiogram to give us information about perhaps the physiologic age of an individual—not just how many years have passed since they were born—might allow us to rapidly and cost-effectively identify those who might be at risk of problems in the future more quickly.” This is not the first time AI has shown potential in mining ECG data for hidden health clues. Kapa’s research group alone has published two AI-enhanced studies this year to screen for asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction and A-fib in ECGs. “We've taken an interest in what these neural networks and artificial intelligence approaches might offer us in terms of not just recapitulating what physicians already do—people are trying to develop AI to automatically read chest X-rays or electrocardiograms—but seeing if we can actually use these techniques to look deeper into an electrocardiogram to understand elements of disease or pathology beyond what our typical algorithms and human-based approaches actually show us,” he explained. High Accuracy, More Research For this study, published online in Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Kapa along with Zachi Attia, MSc (Mayo Clinic,), and colleagues used ECG data from 499,727 adults to create, through training, a convolutional neural network (CNN)—a type of deep-learning algorithm—to identify information like age and sex. The CNN was then verified with ECG data from 275,056 patients. The model was able to predict sex with 90.4% accuracy overall, but this increased to 93% when testing was done only in those younger than 45 years. Additionally, the model was able to classify age into four groups with an accuracy of 71.6%. Further, in an analysis of 100 patients with longitudinal data available, a greater than 7-year deviation in the predicted age from the chronologic age indicated a greater likelihood of preexisting comorbidities including prior diagnoses of MI, low ejection fraction, coronary disease, hypertension, and A-fib (P < 0.01). The future applicability of using ECG-predicted age is promising, Kapa said, especially given how quick and easy a test it is to perform. “Can we use it to say whether or not somebody might be afflicted by certain diseases that just haven't been diagnosed yet? Or might it reflect a situation where we need to investigate further for other incident diseases like diabetes or hypertension?” he asked. “The vast majority of the population in fact aren't ‘patients,’ and so there's a lot more undiagnosed disease than there is diagnosed and having an easy way of knowing in whom to investigate for the evidence of disease becomes something very important, especially with rising costs in the healthcare system.” Kapa said his team is now examining the potential reasons for why someone’s ECG-predicted age might be driven above their chronological age as well as any added morbidity or mortality risk that may come along with that phenomenon. “Do we have to do cholesterol panels on them? Glucose panels? CT scans?” he said, adding that new results are likely to be published within the next 6 months. For now, this is still a tool in development, Kapa cautioned, but “it has a potential role in creating a new kind of science of how to [get more out of] a fairly cheap diagnostic test.” Attia Z, Friedman PA, Noseworthy PA, et al.

Unfortunately not all Banks and not all Mortgages are created equally, and basing your decision on Mortgage Rates alone is dangerous to your financial wellbeing. As a mortgage broker and an industry insider I am about to expose 2 of the banks dirty little secrets by showing you the little differences between Banks and their mortgages that could save you thousands of dollars in interest fees and penalties. The first and potentially most impactful secret is that not all banks calculate their penalties the same way, and the difference between the banks with the lowest penalty cost and the highest penalty cost is dramatic. For example, If you had a new five year fixed mortgage today with a balance of $250,000.00 at TDCT, RBC, Scotiabank, or Bank of Montreal with a current rate of 3.49%, and three years from now rates dropped by 15% and you needed to break your mortgage you could expect to pay a penalty of almost $15,000.00*. However if your in the know, lenders like First National LLP, Merix, and other large yet relatively unknown mortgage companies your penalty could be as low as $4,000. Thats and $11,000 difference on just a $250,000 mortgage! Now I understand that no one plans to break their mortgage contract, but the reality is that it happens, some research indicates that over 60% of mortgages are broken within the first 38 months, with those odds and the potentially high cost of breaking a mortgage, I say considering your mortgage penalty is a must. The second dirty little secret is the way the financial institution registers your mortgage at the land titles office. The first way is a standard mortgage charge which is the traditional way that a mortgage is registered, it provides some basic features like its portable, meaning that once a bank registers a mortgage, any bank can use the same registration, this is extremely helpful at renewal time, because most banks will take over another banks mortgage at no cost, allowing you to shop around very easily. This also keeps your current bank honest as they know that you can be easily swayed with a better offer. However now banks like TDCT, Scotiabank and ING are using Collateral Mortgage charges. A Collateral Mortgage charge is very similar to a standard mortgage with the exception of two major differences: Collateral Mortgages are usually registered at the value of your home (sometimes higher) they do this because its readvanceable a funny word the banks use to say that once you pay down your mortgage you can borrow it again without having to pay any legal fees, the issue experts have with this feature is that because the Banks registers your mortgage at such a high value, you will liking never be able to qualify for any subsequent mortgages (2nd Mortgage). Forcing you to meet their requirements, or completely move your mortgage somewhere else. For many Canadians this may not sound like something to be concern about but reality is that tough financial times are very rarely planned for and are usually a result of unexpected job loss, medical emergency or other significant events that we are unable to predict. The true issue is should the result of one of these unexpected events be the costs associated with getting a new mortgage, because in most cases even with the higher rates associated with a 2nd mortgage you you can still save thousands of dollars in interest and erroneous fees by using one. The other problem is the way a collateral mortgage registers its mortgage terms, a collateral mortgage essentially prevents banks from transferring them or taking them over. This has a dramatic impact at time of your mortgage renewal, because most banks are unwilling to pay the additional fees associated with removing a collateral mortgage from title, and would require you to pay these fees yourself. This adds another element to shopping for a new mortgage because these additional cost will have to be considered when comparing a lower rate at a different bank. In today’s fast-paced world it seems that the only real thing that remains consistent is the fact that everything changes, this should remind us that when we start making decisions today that we have the potential to affect us financially in the future that all factors should be considered. Flexibility, now more than ever is extremely important! So although I am talking about things that may happen, or consequences as a result of the situation that may occur, I feel that it’s more important to consider them and be prepared for them. With mortgage rates being so close from bank to bank, it becomes much easier to select your next bank based more on its features and policies, than just the rate alone. And as a mortgage professional it’s my job educate you on the differences between the bank’s because trying to figure this out on your own would be extremely time consuming and redundant, as I have already done all of the research for you.

ISU Communication 2085 speaks to decisions made during a recent Council meeting held in Helsinki, Finland, including the following comments on synchro: “…the Council agreed that the ISU Synchronized Skating Technical Committee shall be mandated to conduct during the season 2017/18 tests at 4 International Competitions with teams composed of a lower number of Skaters than currently in place (less than 16). Furthermore, in line with Rule 800.2.d) of the Synchronized Skating Special Regulations, the Council agreed that the Synchronized Skating competitions at the Winter Universiade 2019, the Synchronized Skating teams may be composed of 16 competing Skaters as per the current Rule in place, but also may be composed of 12 competing Skaters only.” (Section 9, pp. 3-4) I’m of two minds on the possibility of shrinking teams to fewer than 16 skaters at the International level. On the one hand, I get a bit sad each time team size is reduced because it always removes synchro one more step from the sport I fell in love with over 25 years ago. On the other, there’s simply no denying the quality of skating is leaps and bounds above where it was then, and that is in large part due to a smaller number of skaters on the ice. This is evolution, and as the sport gets even faster and riskier, a move to fewer than 16 skaters may ultimately be beneficial. Some of the top teams in the world are already skating with so much speed, power, and excellent ice coverage that they just about burst through the boards. Imagine what they could do with just a little more room out there if you took a few more skaters out of the equation. Other obvious advantages include the opportunity for smaller countries to increase their participation if fewer skaters are required on the ice, and that tantalizing Olympic carrot, which has remained out of reach in part due to the number of athletes synchro would add to the Games. An obvious disadvantage is an assumed increase in cost for skaters if fewer people are sharing expenses, which could still block increased participation from smaller nations. I see the value in exploring the impact of shrinking teams from 16 to as low as 12, for the reasons stated above. What would make me very uneasy, however, is moving to team sizes any smaller than that. With 12 skaters on the ice, the math works out such that shapes and configurations can still be interesting and pleasing. (There are obviously still more limitations than when teams had 20, 24, or 32 skaters, but the requirements of the sport were also very different then.) But having fewer than 12 skaters on the ice is severely limiting (we see it at the developmental levels in Canada, where teams are permitted to compete with as few as eight skaters). If instituted as the norm, I fear shapes would be abandoned entirely, and we’d simply be watching something like group dance or group pairs rather than synchronized skating as a discipline unto itself. The results of the tests will be interesting. The trials could be a resounding success, a total flop, or somewhere in the middle. The ISU may end up keeping 16 as the required number, changing it to 12, allowing teams the flexibility to skate with a number in between, or taking a different path altogether. In any case, I’m pleased to see due diligence is being done before decisions are finalized, and look forward to seeing what comes of it.

Entries tagged with: Bon Iver Justin Vernon w/ Bon Iver in Austin in 2011 (more by Tim Griffin) Bon Iver's Justin Vernon, who recently collaborated with Kanye West, and is also about release a new Volcano Choir album (aka his collaborative project with experimental rockers Collections of Colonies of Bees), is also working on a project with gospel group The Blind Boys of Alabama, who have been around since the 1930s. Earlier this year, he announced he'd be producing their new album, I'll Find A Way (due out 10/1 via Sony Masterworks), and it's since been revealed that he's contributing his vocals to a cover of Bob Dylan's "Every Grain of Sand" for the album. You can listen to that track now over at Pitchfork, and check out the full tracklist (which also includes collaborations with My Brightest Diamond, Sam Amidon, tUnE-yArDs, and more) below. Speaking of Bob Dylan, his tour comes to the NYC-area for its first of five shows this week. The first show was initially supposed to happen in Bridgeport, CT on Friday (7/19) at The Ballpark at Harbor Yard with My Morning Jacket and Wilco, but that show has been moved to Bridgeport's Webster Bank Arena, and MMJ and Wilco are no longer on the bill. UPDATE: MMJ and Wilco are still playing. Tickets for the Webster Bank Arena show are available, and all tickets purchased for the Ballpark at Harbor Yard show will be honored. Jim James at Firefly Fest 2013 (more by Dana (distortion) Yavin) The other NYC-area shows will go on as planned on 7/21 at Saratoga Performing Arts Center with My Morning Jacket and Wilco (tickets), 7/26 at Hoboken's Pier A Park with MMJ and Wilco (tickets), 7/27 at Jones Beach with Beck and Wilco (tickets), and 7/28 at Susquehanna Bank Center with MMJ and Wilco, which is also part of the 3-day XPoNential Music Festival in Camden (Bob Dylan tix, XPoNential Fest passes). Dylan, Wilco and MMJ kicked off the tour towards the end of last month, and at their recent Toronto show (7/15), Wilco's Jeff Tweedy and MMJ's Jim James joined Dylan on stage for a cover of traditional song "Twelve Gates to the City" and for Dylan's own "Blowin' in the Wind." You can watch a video of the former (via Consequence of Sound), along with the setlist from that show, below. Bob Dylan also just announced that he'll release Bootleg Series. Vol. 10: Another Self Portrait (1969-1971), a box set that collects rarities and outtakes from the Self Portrait and New Morning era, on August 27. The trailer video and tracklist for the box set are below. Updated dates are listed, along with all videos and stuff, below... by Andrew Sacher As mentioned, Volcano Choir (aka Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and the members of Collections of Colonies of Bees) are releasing their sophomore album, Repave, on September 3 via Jagjaguwar. We heard a little clip of it in the album trailer, and now they've revealed the full song, titled "Byegone." From the sound of things, this is already shaping up to a stronger album than Volcano Choir's debut. Check out the new single below. You may have already heard new Poliça track, "Tiff," that features vocals from Bon Iver's Justin Vernon. That song is from their new album, Shulamith, which will be out later this year, date TBA. That's the cover art above, you can check out the tracklist below and the lyrics to all the album's songs are up on Poliça's website. The band just released the video for "Tiff" which was directed by Nabil (Kanye, Bon Iver, James Blake) and finds singer Channy Leaneagh at odds with herself. It's intense and you can watch it below. Maybe you caught Channy last night (6/10) at Mercury Lounge where she made a surprise appearance with Marijuana Deathsquads (like we said she would) which also featured both of Poliça's two drummers. Did you go to that show? How was it? Poliça, who also just played Governors Ball, will next visit NYC opening for The xx at their recently-announced show at Radio City Music Hall on September 23. Tickets go on presale Wednesday (6/12) at 10 AM and the password is "coexist." All Poliça tour dates are listed, along with the "Tiff" video and album tracklist, below. by Andrew Sacher Justin Vernon w/ Bon Iver at Angel Orensanz in 2012 (more by Fred Pessaro) Volcano Choir (aka Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and the members of experimental band Collections of Colonies of Bees) have announced that they'll release the followup to their 2009 debut, Unmap, this year. The new album is called Repave, and it's due out on September 3 via Jagjaguwar. The band just revealed an album trailer for the new record which features about two and a half minutes of new music, and it's sounding like some pretty great stuff. Check it out below. Volcano Choir will also be supporting the new album with a short North American tour after its release which hits NYC on September 14 at Webster Hall. Tickets for the NYC show are not on sale yet, but check Ticketmaster for updates. go on sale Friday (5/31) at noon with an AmEx presale starting Wednesday (5/29) at noon. All dates are listed, along with the album trailer, artwork and tracklist, below... The Blind Boys of Alabama @ Town Hall, 5/17/2013 (via @danatrixieflynn Instagram) The Blind Boys of Alabama tour hit NYC on Friday (5/17) at Town Hall with Betty LaVette. The group have just announced they've signed with Sony Masterworks who will release their new album this fall. "We are thrilled to be on our new label, and we have a real surprise on the way with this new album. I think it's the coolest thing we've ever done," says 80-something singer Jimmy Carter who is the last original member still touring with The Blind Boys. That surprise, or at least one of them, is that Justin Vernon of Bon Iver will produce the album. Special guests are promised too and we'll just have to wait to find out what's in store. In the meantime, Blind Boys of Alamaba's tour rolls on. All dates are listed below. Apparently it's NYC Outdoor Free Show Announce Day. Following Hudson River Rocks, Seaport Music Festival and 4Knots updates comes the 2013 River to River Festival line-up. This year's fest runs from June 15 - July 14 and includes music, dance, theater, visual art, film and "unique participatory experiences" across a number of outdoor stages. Among this years' free events: The annual Bang on a Can Marathon which happens on 6/16 at Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts and features Bang on a Can All-Stars, Asphalt Orchestra, Alarm Will Sound, Brooklyn Youth Chorus, Talk Normal, Talea, Shara Worden, Yungchen Llamo, and more.Again, all River to River events are free and open to the public. The entire 2013 line-up is listed, with details, below... Laurie Anderson will perform two nights at Rockefeller Park on June 18 & 19 with guests Gerry Leonard, Doug Wieselman, Eyvind Kang and others TBA. Ecstatic Summer 2013 which happens at Brookfield Place Plaza on June 29 & 30. Members of Bon Iver, Mantra Percussion, the National, yMusic, Plastic Ono Band and more will perform commissioned works by Greg Saunier (Deerhoof), Dave Douglas, Susie Ibarra and Seth Olinsky. So Percussion and Joshua Light Show team up on July 13 at Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts The legendary Leon Russell will perform at Rockefeller Park on July 10. There's also a presentation of of Foetus frontman JG Thirlwell's "cinema for the ears" album, Manorexia: Dinoflagellate Bloom at Tribeca Cinemas on July 11. Stone Roses / How to Destroy Angels / Johnny Marr Friday's lineup was teeming with such line-jumpers, performing with various degrees of laurel-resting. Early in the day came the Shouting Matches, a shambolic blues-esque outfit whose sales pitch is that it includes Justin Vernon of Bon Iver. The group took almost a half-hour for sound check, and its set was almost as loose. Mr. Vernon, such a precise and processed singer in Bon Iver, was here far more at ease, pushing his vocals no harder than the amiable songs demanded.There was also Divine Fits (Britt Daniel of Spoon + Dan from Wolf Parade), Deathfix (Brendan Canty of Fugazi on drums), Grinderman with Nick Cave, Johnny Marr of the Smiths, Trent Reznor of NIN in How to Destroy Angels (who made their live debut days earlier), Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys with his band The Guantanamo School of Medicine, and more. And of course reunions and britrock galore with Blur, The Stone Roses, Sparks, and Jurassic 5 all also playing Friday. Here are our pictures from day one (which do not include Polica, but check out our instagram for a shot of Justin Vernon joining them on stage). Later, in the dance-centric Sahara tent, Dog Blood performed a loud but not thunderous set. It's a collaborative project of Skrillex and Boys Noize, and does not quite live up to Skrillex's typical punishment or Boys Noize's characteristic exuberance. Day One pics continue at BV Chicago and below... by Andrew Sacher It's probably not news to fans of Bon Iver's Justin Vernon that he is a man of many collaborations. Just ask Kanye West, James Blake, St. Vincent, or the guys in Collections of Colonies of Bees, to name a few. Another of his many collaborative projects is The Shouting Matches, a blues rock duo which features Justin on guitar/vocals and Brian Moen (of Peter Wolf Crier and Laarks) on drums. They formed pre-Bon Iver, but regrouped this year (and the lineup now includes Phil Cook, who played with Justin in DeYarmond Edison and is also in Megafaun) for their first official full length, Grownass Man. The album's rooted in classic American blues but played with the distorted take on that rich history that became popular with groups like Cream and Led Zeppelin, and has been revived pretty strongly recently by guys like Jack White and The Black Keys. Grownass Man is due out on April 16 via Middle West, but you can listen to it in its entirety now on NPR. The Shouting Matches' only upcoming dates scheduled at the moment are the two Coachellas that happen this weekend and the one after that. The Shouting Matches play on the Fridays (April 12 & 19), so if you're headed to that festival, it's worth checking out their set. Watch a video of the band performing live as a duo in 2010 below... Even though The Flaming Lips have a new album, The Terror, whose release date got pushed back to April 16, the band are still releasing videos from last year's The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends. Like the new clip for "Ashes in Air." In it, an eye-headed alien finds a baby (who looks a little like Bon Iver's Justin Vernon who sings on the track), visits some hippies (naked, of course) and takes the little guy back to his spaceship for dinner. Check it out below. Charleston, South Carolina musician Alex Collier records modern classical/church organ renditions of pop songs with The Jingle Punks Hipster Orchestra and they released their album, King of Instruments, this past October which featured covers of Bon Iver, Frank Ocean, Kanye West, Vampire Weekend, Usher, Coldplay, and others. The album was recorded in a church with Alex on organ anmd we've got two videos of them performing Frank Ocean's "Bad Religion," and Bon Iver's "Perth," which are making their premieres in this post. You can watch them below. by Klaus Kinski and Tig Notaro Tig Notaro is a living super hero and I was so thrilled that she took the time to do a Top 10 for us. Even though Tig was previously an LA-based comedian, over the years we here at BV have admired her and always did what we could to trumpet her greatness to you, the loyal BV reader. We even managed to get her onto a BV-SxSW show back in 2010. More recently, perhaps you caught her at The Dave Hill Explosion at the UCB Theater back on November 29, 2012? Or perhaps you caught her at the Bell House on November 17, 2012 when she brought her live podcast Professor Blastoff to a live, sold out audience? If anything, I sincerely hope you ponied up and bought her Louis CK-released live album which is absolutely brilliant, heart-wrenching, and totally inspiring. Oh, but just a heads up; Tig Notaro: Live is no longer available on Louis CK's website! Now you gotta procure that shizz on iTunes, brah. Tig is spending a lot more time in NYC these days, so keep your eyes on BV for whatever Tig news comes our way. In the meantime, enjoy her eclectic, not-necessarily-music-oriented Top 10 list, below. Most Wanted autograph The Insane Clown Posse is suing the FBI because "Juggalos were unjustly called a gang in its 2011 National Gang Threat Assessment."

More stuff below... Bon Iver / Frank Ocean @ Angel Orensanz 9/24/2012 Following their respective Radio City and ATP NY appearances, Bon Iver and Frank Ocean played the intimate, ornate LES space Angel Orensanz last night (9/24), a surprise RSVP-only affair presented by Vitamin Water/Fader. The lines for the show wrapped around the block and only a fraction of people who RSVPed actually got in, but those who did were treated to hour-long sets from both performers. Bon Iver is taking a break from touring for a while after nearly two years of constant activity, but recent reports of his retirement appear to be greatly exaggerated. We previously posted a picture Frank Ocean's setlist. More pictures from the show, below... Bon Iver at Radio City - 9/20/12 (via Bon Iver Instragram) Bon Iver, who just wrapped up a four-night run at Radio City has been revealed as one of the two acts for the last show in FADER and Vitamin Water's #uncapped series, which happens in NYC TONIGHT (9/24) at Angel Orensanz (172 Norfolk St). Spots are very limited and RSVP is open now. If you've been following along, you know that for these shows, FADER and Vitamin Water partner two different artists together. Any guesses on who the other act will be? (hint: Frank Ocean who played ATP Friday night) The archive of Bon Iver's Radio City show from this past Friday (9/21) is now streaming at the Bowery Presents YouTube Channel for the next 48 hours. The Uncapped flier is below... by Andrew Sacher Bon Iver at Radio City - 9/21/12 (via BrooklynVegan Instagram) "Cool!" exclaimed Justin Vernon, as 6,000 or so people tremendously applauded for the third (9/21) of four Bon Iver shows at Radio City, in the same awkwardly humble manner he said, "sweet hookup," when he won Best New Artist at the 2011 Grammys. As massive as Bon Iver continues to get, Justin's sense of modesty never seems to fade. He even still prefaces "The Wolves" with asking the crowd to join in on "what might've been lost" (I think by now it's safe to assume they would regardless). I guess it's what they say: you can take the boy out of the abandoned cabin the woods, but you can't take the abandoned cabin the woods out of the boy. (They say that, right?) From the opening notes of "Perth," the band's atmospheres took over Radio City, and in typical Bon Iver fashion, their command over the audience didn't let up once throughout the show. Their pre-encore set included all of 2011's excellent Bon Iver, Bon Iver, with the only For Emma, Forever Ago song being "Creature Fear" (whose reworked live version fits best with the newer material), and the rest of that album's inclusions were saved for the encore. My personal highlight of the show was "Woods," the only song of the set I've never personally seen them perform before (and not a song they play often). Justin performed the song solo with just a mic and vocal manipulations. And like James Blake, who is perhaps most directly influenced by "Woods" than any other Bon Iver song, Justin did a pretty great job of keeping the room dead silent on those pauses, save for a few "woohoos!" here and there. In this fast moving internet world, excitement for bands tends to rise and fall pretty quickly, and if it's been a while since they've released anything, tour announcements will inspire comments like "people still listen to this band?" We need constant reminders that a band is good, create absurd expectations for most of them, and will jump at any opportunity to decide an artist we love isn't good anymore. When Bon Iver decide to stroll through NYC for four Radio City shows over a year after their initial Bon Iver, Bon Iver tour brought them here, they continue to show that they don't fit this formula. The excitement felt throughout their entire show parallels that of the one felt upon first discovering their music. Bon Iver's final night of the Radio City run is tonight (9/22) with Polica opening. (Folk singer Doug Paisley opened last night.) Tickets for tonight's show are still available. If you missed last night's show, did you stream it online? If you missed that stream, it will rebroadcast for 48 hours, starting this Monday (9/24) at the Bowery Presents Youtube channel. In the meantime, some fan-filmed videos and the setlist from last night's show are below... Bon Iver @ Radio City Music Hall, 9/20/2012 (via @itsvman) We are on night three of Bon Iver's four-night stand at Radio City and you can still get tickets. If you're stuck at home (or don't live in the NYC area) but want to watch, tonight's show is part of Free Music Week at Fuse who, in partnership with Bowery Presents, are streaming it live via the Bowery Presents YouTube page. The setlists from Bon Iver's first two nights with Anais Mitchell (9/19 and 9/20) are below. Tonight's show is with Doug Paisley and Saturday's (9/22) is with Polica. Radio City is especially busy this week. In addition to the shows mentioned above, there's Goyte on Tuesday (9/25) (he also plays Williamsburg Park on Thursday [9/27]), AVICII on Wednesday and Thursday (9/26-27) and Jack White next weekend (9/29-30). In other streaming news, Bowery Presents will be streaming Thursday's Two Door Cinema Club show (9/27) at Music Hall of Williamsburg through their YouTube Page.

Bon Iver in TX in 2011 (more by Tim Griffin) Bon Iver are on a tour now which comes to NYC this week for a previously discussed four-night run at Radio City. The run includes shows at the Manhattan theater on Wednesday (9/19) and Thursday (9/20) with Anais Mitchell, Friday (9/21) with Doug Paisley, and Saturday (9/22) with Polica. Tickets for all four shows are still available (despite the first two being sold out for a while), and we're also giving away another pair of tickets to the Friday (9/21) show. A list of updated dates and contest details are below. You can also watch the Friday (9/21) show from the comfort of your own home as it streams live on the Bowery Presents YouTube channel. The trailer video for the stream is below. In related news, Justin Vernon's personal trainer Jeff Rogers, who has a fitness DVD which features Justin, will be bringing his workout program to NYC while Bon Iver is here. He'll present his "Pack the Park" program on September 21 and 22 at Urban Plaza at Trump in Hudson Square (246 Spring St.) from 2-3 PM. Admission is free but registration is required and space is limited (50 people each day). The flier for the event is below. An updated list of dates, video, and that event flier are below. Polica at Lollapalooza 2012 (more by James Richards IV) As mentioned, Polica signed to Mom + Pop and reissued their debut LP, Give You The Ghost, on the label earlier this month along with a bonus EP of remixes by Gardens & Villa, Exitmusic, and others. You can now stream all of those remixes below. Also below is the official video for "Dark Star" and a video of them performing it on Jimmy Kimmel. As mentioned, Polica will be touring this year and hitting NYC on October 6 at Webster Hall with Gardens & VIlla. But you'll be able to catch Polica in NYC even sooner than that when they open for their friends Bon Iver at Radio City on September 22. The Radio City show is one of four shows at the venue for Bon Iver, the first two (9/19 & 9/20) of which are with Anais Mitchell and the third (9/21) of which is with Doug Paisley. Tickets for both Polica shows in NYC are still available and we're also giving away a pair to the Radio City show. A list of updated dates, streams, and videos are below. Bon Iver in Switzerland, July 19 2012 (via @boniver) As you know, Bon Iver has four shows coming up at Radio City Music Hall, two sold out ones with Anais Mitchell (9/19 and 9/20), and two that were more recently added without openers. Well, 9/22 still has no opener, but it was announced that Canadian folk-country singer-songwriter Doug Paisley will be opening on 9/21. Tickets are still on sale for 9/21 and 9/22 and we have a pair of tickets you can win to the 9/22 show (the one with no opener announced yet). Contest details and all Doug Paisley tour dates are below. In other DeYarmond Edison-related news, Megafaun played the Newport Folk Festival over the weekend (check out a pics and streams here), and are about to kick off a European tour with Damien Jurado. Also, Field Report (aka Chris Porterfield) recently made their NYC-debut at Mercury Lounge while on out with the Counting Crows, a tour that continues through August 10. All dates are listed below. Tickets to the two just-added Bon Iver Radio City Music Hall shows (9/21 and 9/22) go on presale this morning (6/28) at 10AM. (Password: "Holocene") Good luck. Regular on-sale starts Friday (6/29) at 10AM. In other news, you may or may not have been aware that Justin Vernon designed his own line of shoes. LA Times recently took the time to review the shoe. Here's what they had to say: And then there's the bone. Yes, the fish bone that covers the entire toe, and makes it look as though you're a messy grizzly bear without the manners or wherewithal to clean up after yourself. Who, it must be asked, walks around with fishbones on their toes? Fishermen? No right-minded man would take a single step without kicking that carcass back into the lake. But, then, no right-minded man would go fishing in these, not even to get from the parking lot to the boat. They're salmon, and they'll get dirty. So you wear them when you drive into town on Saturday night. Perhaps, but, well, there are fish carcasses on your feet, and the minute you march into the bar you'll be pegged as a folkie by the cowboy-booted drunks. Vernon, who is currently working on a new style of galoshes that he believes will add "a little pizazz" to morning wades through Wisconsin mud, should be admired for his first attempt at a shoe -- even if they're nowhere near as experimental as No Age's Ed Templeton-designed sneakers for Emerica. And set alongside Kanye West's new NIke Air Yeezy 2, which came out on Saturday, well, the differences are obvious. West's are brash. Vernon's are pink. Bon Iver @ Sasquatch 2012 (more by Chris Graham) 09/19/12 New York, NY- Radio City Music Hall ^ - SOLD OUTThe first two shows are with Anais Mitchell, as are the five other new U.S. dates just announced: 09/20/12 New York, NY- Radio City Music Hall ^ - SOLD OUT 09/21/12 New York, NY- Radio City Music Hall 09/22/12 New York, NY- Radio City Music Hall 09/12/12 Providence, RI- Providence Performing Arts Center ^No openers yet for the other two shows which will probably go on sale this week (stay tuned). 09/13/12 Boston, MA- Bank of America Pavilion ^ 09/15/12 Columbia, MD- Merriweather Post Pavilion ^ 09/16/12 Philadelphia, PA- Mann Center for the Performing Arts ^ 09/17/12 Cooperstown, NY- Ommegang Brewery ^ Bon Iver's full list of tour dates is below... Bon Iver at Bonnaroo 2012 (more by Dana (distortion) Yavin) Bon Iver recorded an iTunes session at East West studios which is available exclusively from iTunes starting today. It includes six tracks off 2011's great Bon Iver, Bon Iver and a cover of Bjork's "Who Is It?," which the band has played live many times. You can stream the session's opening track, "Beth/Rest" below. As mentioned, Bon Iver is touring internationally throughout the summer and fall and will come to NYC on September 19 and 20 at Radio City Music Hall. Both of those shows are now sold out. All Bon Iver dates, including a recently announced European leg, are listed below. Speaking of Bjork, she's teaming up with the New York Public Library (NYPL) and the Children's Museum of Manhattan to create interactive educational programs for middle school-aged students based on her Biophilia app. Speaking about the program, Bjork said: "It's not a bookish thing. You cannot learn to make music from a book." "I love books; they're like the best ever," she added. "There are things you can only learn from books, but it's also important to introduce the physical aspects. So for me, it was very important to make, somehow, music education that was physical." (via NY Daily News)Both Bon Iver and Bjork are set to play Oya Festival in Oslo, Norway this summer (Aug 7-11) with The Stone Roses, Refused, The Afghan Whigs, Bob Mould (performing Copper Blue), Chromatics, Cloud Nothings, John Maus, Purity Ring, Saint Etienne, SBTRKT, Screaming Females, St. Vincent, and more. Full list below. Way Out West (Aug 9-11) in Gothenberg, Sweden features many of the same bands as Oya like Bon Iver, Refused, Afghan Whigs, St. Vincent, Purity Ring, John Maus, and Bob Mould in addition to Blur, Wilco, I Break Horses, Hot Chip, The War On Drugs, Mark Lanegan Band, Adolescents, Swans, and more. Check out the spotify playlist. The full lineup is listed below. As mentioned, the reunited Mazzy Star is set to play both of those European festivals. Full lineups and the Bon Iver dates and song, below... photos by Dana (distortion) Yavin Bon Iver/The Shins Oddly enough, 73-year-old Kenny Rogers--a last-minute Bonnaroo addition several decades past from his peak hit-making days--was among the day's breakout acts. Playing for one of his youngest audiences in recent member, Rogers offered a set of hits that included "The Gambler," "Islands in the Stream" and other songs most of the crowd had never seen live. Near the end of his show, Rogers also brought out the weekend's biggest surprise guest, cross-generational pop icon Lionel Richie, to sing on his own "Lady" and "All Night Long" (Richie considers Rogers his mentor and joined the veteran country star at SXSW this past March.) Every year The Mayor of Manchester also awards one Bonnaroo artist the keys to the city, and The Gambler received ths year's honor during an unexpected mid-set ceremony...Pictures from the final day at Bonnaroo 2012 including Phish, The Shins, Black Lips (who play the 4Knots afterparty), We Are Augustines, The Antlers (who recently played Brooklyn), Kenny Rogers, Bon Iver, Kurt Vile & The Violators (who plays tonight and tomorrow) but not The Beach Boys (which we already posted) are below, alongside video of that surprise Lionel Richie appearance. Bon Iver, who spent his early years in jam and roots-rock bands but functioned as Sunday's What Stage indie rock headliner, made a point to stretch out his songs a bit more than usual. At one point he called the audience "sunburnt," and he asked them to join him in a call-and-response jam. As more than a few artists pointed out throughout the weekend, hippiedom is still fully engrained in Bonnaroo's DNA. -[Jambands]

This searchable list includes the abstracts of all presentations given at a conference organised as part of the SENS series. We regret that the videos recorded at SENS3 and SENS4 are currently unavailable. To date, the efficacy of replacement therapy by means of autologous stem cells is hindered by at least 3 factors: (i) the lack of sufficient number of autologous stem cells; (ii) the existence of stem cells with aged-phenotype of reduced repair capacity; (iii) the reduced potential of replacement therapy to repair non- or slow-turnover tissues. Lately, groundbreaking research has shown that somatic cells may be reprogrammed to a pluripotent state by the induction of a specific set of genes in vitro – creating induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS).Keywords: aging, cell reprogramming, induced pluripotent stem cells, rejuvenation in vivo We constructed the Human Longevity Network (HLN) and the networks for the major age-related degenerative diseases (ARDs) including atherosclerosis, cancer, Altzheimer's disease, and diabetes type II, based on protein-protein interactions. There is a remarkable overlap between the HLN and the ARD networks, suggesting that common pathways stand behind both aging and age-related pathology. The common genes are highly evolutionary conserved and fall into three main categories: signal transduction, DNA maintenance and repair, and protein and energy metabolism.Keywords: aging, age-related diseases, common gene signature, longevity, protein-protein interaction networks

Former Mazda Mk3 Champion Chrissy Palmer will be taking part in the Protyre Motorsport Ginetta GT5 Challenge this weekend at Brands Hatch with British GT regulars Blendini Motorsport “The opportunity to run a car in the Protyre Motorsport Ginetta GT5 Challenge is great for Blendini Motorsport;” said Tom Roche, Blendini Motorsport owner. Blendini are currently running an number of cars across multiple championships in the UK and are looking to encourage their current drivers to sample the GT5 Challenge in a view to running a full season in 2014. “We run over ten cars in the BRSCC Mazda Championship and also a GT3 and GT4 car in British GT so we see GT5 as a great intermediate Championship between the Mazda’s and British GT; especially since the package is a support to the British GT.” “Chrissy has done very well in Mazda racing over the past couple of years and we hope that he can improve over the weekend and surprise a few people – we are looking forward to it.” “It’s great to see a successful and respected team such as Blendini Motorsport join the Ginetta paddock,” said Ginetta Championships manager Max Gregory. “We hope this is just the start of a successful relationship. Chrissy is a quick driver and it’s certainly going to make things interesting with the series regulars this weekend. Watch this space.”

The PA Consulting Group has released the findings of a new study detailing the impact of multi-user detection (MUD) algorithms from Mercury Computer Systems on the capacity, coverage and hardware expenditure required in the deployment of 3G wireless networks. The results indicate that base stations operating with Mercury’s communications computer could offer both performance and cost saving benefits to both telecom equipment manufacturers and operator companies. ‘Having studied the demonstrable benefits of Mercury’s MUD algorithms, PA Consulting has confirmed that operators using base stations equipped with Mercury’s MUD implementation could realise significant reductions in the number of base stations needed,’ said Alan Kolnik, partner at PA Consulting Group who directs the company’s telecommunications practice in North America. ‘Our models indicate that there should be similar savings in capital expenditures due to the smaller number of base stations needed and the ability to reuse existing network infrastructure.’ ‘For the past three years we have been developing adaptive processing techniques to improve spectral efficiency in wireless communications. Until now, the advantages of MUD were mostly theoretical, and affordable implementations seemed distant. By combining algorithm improvements with Mercury’s embedded computational expertise, this study proves that MUD should be deployed in the next release of 3G base stations,’ said Barry Isenstein, vice president and general manager of Mercury’s Wireless Communications Group. In the study, the PA Consulting Group applied Mercury’s link-level simulation results for base stations equipped with Mercury’s processor modules to a 3G network that was overlaid on a modelled GSM network. PA Consulting Group’s technical and financial analysis demonstrated that, using real-world constraints and assumptions, Mercury’s solution led to 30 to 40% fewer base station sites in a coverage-limited network deployment. For a capacity-limited network deployment, the results also showed approximately 33% fewer sites were required using the same study parameters. The ability to reuse existing GSM sites resulted in a reduced number of base stations and infrastructure, creating capital expenditure savings of about 30% when deploying a new 3G network. Because base station investments represent the majority of capital expenditures, the savings would amount to billions of dollars when applied to the European market alone. The detailed simulation and analysis focused on the WCDMA standard, but has general applicability to CDMA2000 as well.

Facebook has reportedly removed a group that claimed to have sabotaged the score of The Last Jedi on Rotten Tomatoes, and also planned to review-bomb Disney’s upcoming film Black Panther, according to Marvel Studio News. With Black Panther coming to theaters this month, a member of the group “Down With Disney’s Treatment of Franchises and its Fanboys” created an event to leave low ratings and negative reviews for the film as well as Solo: A Star Wars Story. The group also indicated they would set up additional events for Avengers: Infinity War and the company’s Marvel Netflix shows. Following reports of the plan, Rotten Tomatoes issued a comment saying it welcomes passionate fans who want to debate a film’s merits, but it doesn’t condone hate speech. It also indicated that its employees were preparing to monitor and address spam reviews. Here’s the full statement: We at Rotten Tomatoes are proud to have become a platform for passionate fans to debate and discuss entertainment and we take that responsibility seriously. While we respect our fans’ diverse opinions, we do not condone hate speech. Our team of security, network and social experts continue to closely monitor our platforms and any users who engage in such activities will be blocked from our site and their comments removed as quickly as possible. Facebook appears to have removed the group. Marvel Studio News posted a screenshot of a notification saying the group has been removed and that it violated the company’s community standards.

I signed up to take Layered Impressions, the online class with Katie Kendrik. I am so excited to be taking this class. It starts on Tuesday. If you signup before then you even get a DVD of the class, now that is a great deal. It is more than I usually like to spend on a class but when I looked at the synopsis of what we will be doing I thought it was amazing. I think it will be well worth price. Katie is an amazing artist and I feel like we will really being going on a journey with her. I added some collages and journaling to the some of those pages I did while in N. Idaho a few weeks ago. If you are one of those artists who gets a background done and then doesn't know what to do next, I thought I would offer a little advice. I tend to look at the colors of the background and then will pull out my stash of collage items and start placing things on top that I think will look good. I may go through a lot of images before I choose one that I like. Or there may be several I place on the background and then finally just choose one over the other. The process becomes intuitive at some point, what I choose may end up being an image that I just get a good feeling about. I have often used an image I have left on my desk from a precious art session. Some artists plan the whole page before glueing anything down. I do that sometimes, but often I just glue down and image and then look for something else, it seems more spontaneous that way. I just don't think that much about it, just go for my first thoughts and glue it down. If my background is a collage in itself I make the collage on top simple. I think the idea is just to play, whatever you do will be just fine.

If you didn't know this about me, here goes, I am terriblly arachnophobic. Yesterday the most giant spider I have yet to see on or near our house appeared outside the kitchen window, we did not kill it. I went to sleep terrified that spiders were going to find their way into our house and kill us all. Spiders, to me, tend to take on movie, cereal death killer-like qualities and can do amazing things like think and stare and terrify you on purpose. Needless to say I had a sleepless night. Then my son woke up, S is teething, and he has a cold, and he says no words only gets very very frustrated! By the time we hit breakfast his crying was getting to me pretty bad. After lunch I could not handle much more. I put S in his crib for 5 minutes, went to the bathroom and went to see if my bible could help me out, using my Child Trainning Bible (I'll post on this amazing thing later, for now google it!) and looked up Impatience. This was the first verse I turned to: Be Still before the Lord and wait patiently for him. I held S for the next few minutes just repeating those words over and over to us. The spiders are still out there and S still had a really hard day, but I was pretty ok with it. As the book "Unglued" says, I think I made excellent "imperfect progress."

Author(s): Lee SL, Cheung YF, Leung MP, Ng YK, Tsoi NS Abstract Share this page Abstract We assessed the spectrum of airway disorders in children with congenital cardiac anomalies, and reviewed our experience in using flexible bronchoscopy for assessment of airway problems in this patient group. The clinical records, flexible bronchoscopic findings, and cardiac imaging results of pediatric cardiac patients who presented with either clinical or radiological signs of airway obstruction between 1992-1999 were reviewed. Flexible bronchoscopic assessment was performed with the patients under sedation and topical anesthesia, using one of two bronchoscopes, i.e., an Olympus BFN20 or Olympus BF3C20. Of a total of 52 patients, 33 had acyanotic cardiovascular lesions, the commonest being left-to-right shunts (61\%), while 19 had cyanotic heart lesions, with right ventricular outflow obstruction being the commonest (63\%). Twenty-seven patients had undergone either surgical or transcatheter interventions. The median age at bronchoscopic assessment was 6 months (range, 4 days to 6 years). None of the patients developed significant procedural complications. A definitive diagnosis was made in 48 (92\%) patients, 8 of whom had abnormalities involving only the upper airways, 35 only the lower airways, and 5 both. Abnormalities of the upper airway included laryngomalacia (n = 6), subglottic stenosis (n = 3), pharyngeal collapse (n = 2), and 1 each of choanal stenosis and supraglottitis. Extrinsic compression was the commonest lower airway abnormality that was found in 27/40 patients (67\%), with a predilection for the left main bronchus (18/27, 67\%). The structures that caused extrinsic compression included dilated pulmonary arteries with or without left atrial dilation (n = 20), an anomalous aortic or pulmonary arterial course (n = 3), a dilated aorta (n = 1), and a shunt (n = 1), but were not obvious in 2 patients. Intrinsic lower airway abnormalities included bronchomalacia (n = 4), tracheal stenosis (n = 4), and one each of variant bronchial bifurcation and a pouch arising from the tracheal wall. Intraluminal mucus plugging of the lower airways occurred in the remaining 3 patients. Children with congenital heart disease are at risk of airway obstruction both before and after surgery. Flexible bronchoscopy, being safe and effective in diagnosing airway disorders in this patient group, should be considered as the first line of investigation. Copyright 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

By Jonathan Goldsmith CNG Fuels, Europe’s largest provider of renewable biomethane gasoline, has added Aldi to its listing of purchasers who’re striving for low carbon transport inside their heavy items car (HGV) fleets. A highway with woods on both facet The gasoline agency has opened its 10thHGV refuelling station in Castleford, West Yorkshire, to maintain up with demand, and the brand new station can refuel 5000 HGVs a day whereas slashing greenhouse fuel (GHG) emissions by 67,500 tonnes a 12 months, it claims. Aldi is the newest main model to undertake the extra sustainable autos, becoming a member of Royal Mail, Amazon, Waitrose and Warburtons who’re already equipped with CNG Gas’s clear biofuel which gives emissions financial savings of greater than 90 per cent, which might be reported in direction of reaching UK targets. Aldi is predicted to have a complete of 30 CNG autos in its UK fleet by the tip of the 12 months. There’s a substantial improve in demand for 100 per cent renewable biomethane throughout the transport sector, which is the catalyst for higher manufacturing each throughout the UK and internationally, with the variety of bio-CNG powered vans on the highway doubling within the final 12 months alone. The federal government set out plans final 12 months to ban the sale of latest petrol and diesel HGVs from 2040 as a part of its Transport Decarbonisation Plan, which has prompted the haulage trade to hunt cleaner alternate options. CNG Fuels is at the moment rolling out a UK-wide community of dependable and handy refuelling services to produce heavy fleets inside its shopper base. It develops, owns and operates CNG refuelling infrastructure and sources 100 per cent renewable biomethane (Bio-CNG) for its stations. Biomethane is the cleanest fuel out there to HGVs and is a cheap various to diesel. Bio-CNG (or compressed biomethane) differs from fossil-derived CNG/LNG (liquified pure fuel) as it’s a bi-product of meals, water and animal waste decomposition which is collected in an anaerobic digester and injected into the fuel grid. Pure fuel is a clear vitality supply used for electrical energy era, heating and transport gasoline and Bio-CNG has been independently verified and authorized by the Division for Transport’s Renewable Transport Gas Obligation (RTFO). Philip Fjeld, CEO of CNG Fuels, stated: “Fleet operators world wide are urgently searching for methods to chop emissions from their fleets. “Our fast-growing community of refuelling infrastructure has made biomethane extra accessible than ever earlier than, and fleets – starting from native hauliers via to main family manufacturers – are dramatically slicing emissions on daily basis. “Our latest station in Castleford is constructing on our present community, enabling low-carbon deliveries all the best way from Inverness to Cornwall.” Jonathan Goldsmith, Head of Infrastructure & Transportation at Acre, stated: “While HGVs make up solely 5% of the car miles travelled on UK roads, they’re answerable for 16% of all transport emissions. As we additional transition to a web-based retail financial system, the transfer in direction of cleaner HGV fuels equivalent to biomethane will play a massively vital step within the UK’s efforts to decarbonise a dynamic and fast-growing logistics sector.” Johnny works in Acre’s Sustainable Enterprise staff, with duty for delivering all Govt-level and strategic searches for purchasers working within the Constructed Setting, Infrastructure & Transportation sectors. He additionally leads a small staff of Consultants to help organisations on operational sustainability hires throughout the UK & Europe.

Watch the short video below to see what this free goal setting worksheet looks like: I designed this worksheet because I see so many people writing down goals and forgetting about them, or coming up with excuses why it didn't work out. We can't assume that by writing down our goals, we our on our way to achieving them. There's so much more involved. It takes both mental + physical effort to achieve the goals that we set for ourselves. We need to: 1) get clear on what you want, 2) get motivated + excited to take action, and 3) get moving with your action plan. If you want something that'll help you with all three of those steps, put your name and email address in the form below, and I'll send you the download link to this free goal setting worksheet right away. As always, to your SUCCESS!

Yesterday I asked y'all for your thoughts on Aldi, the store known for it's inexpensive yet fresh produce. Janell @ Girls Run the 901 gave me the confidence to go there today. She gave me some expert advice and told me to bring a quarter for my cart and bags for my groceries. Done and Done. Really not that creepy looking, right? I didn't take any pictures on the inside but I just couldn't shake the creeps. Lexi and Lyla didn't seem to mind though, as they tried to fill my cart with candy and random branded snacks. We made our way to the produce and I was pleasantly surprised by the freshness and prices. Um, 85 cents for an avocado? Yes please. Bags of apples for $2.99? I'll take 2. Here's our haul: bag of radishes 2 containers of grape tomatoes 2 containers of strawberries 2 bags of apples 2 bags of asparagus 1 bag of sweet potatoes I'll send a tube of Nuun to whoever can guess how much that cost. (Closest without going over) After that we headed over to Target to finish up our shopping. The only extra produce I needed to buy there was spinach leaves. How about that? We still managed to spend a crap load, but that's Target for ya. Of course I had to treat my homegirls to some Icees and popcorn. When we got home I decided to do the daily task that is part of the #VegChallenge: Making a green monster smoothie. Here is the recipe that Jill recommends: I followed her recipe mostly except I skipped the protein powder because I had had a protein shake in the morning. I also used flax seeds instead of chia seeds because my chia seeds have gone MIA. For real. We all approved! It was delicious. I recommend letting your bananas ripen, then peel them and place them in a ziploc baggie in the freezer. I like to always have some on hand! I drank a lot today. I woke up late so I had a protein shake for breakfast. I powered my way through Aldi with some watermelon Nuun (OMG). How could I pass up a Starbucks without getting my regular: Iced coffee with soy milk and sugar free Cinnamon Dolce? And for dinner we had pizza and a salad on the side. It wasn't the best eating day but I hydrated well ;-) This is a good thing because I'm running a half this weekend. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that. OK, For realz. Guess the cost of my produce haul from Aldi. Win a tube of Nuun. Contest ends 4/28 at 11:59 pm. Disclaimer: I am not being compensated, nor does Nuun have anything to do with this contest. I just wanted to spread some love and have some fun. Please don't arrest me.

When frequency fails you, they’re on it! Not too long ago, Mr Thina Phaswana, the man behind SOVH productions decided to change how we ‘hear’ radio. Along with Lebogang Modibedi the Station Manager, Quibel Ramantswana renown Content Analyst, Zowey Nokwali the Communication/Account Manager and Fifi Kgongoane the Executive Manager, the group revolutionized radio by introducing the public to a new era of online radio. The story behind SOVH Radio/ Tv is quite fascinating. Thina shares with Blue Monkey Magazine that the idea behind the station is because of the lack of entertainment within Westonaria. Noticing that the rich of culture town is in need of something new, Thina decided to introduce a new skill into the community allowing the people of Westonaria the opportunity to connect with one another through the radio. Owning a radio station has always been a dream for Mr Phaswana. However, this is not an ordinary dream. He says that he plans to own and operate something similar to the SABC. Looking at how far he has gone it’s clear that Thina will, in fact, fulfil that dream! The final outcome will be multiple studios working different forms of content. SOVH Radio/ Tv is the much-needed voice of the West Rand that shows the whole of South Africa just how valuable the community truly is. On top of that, the station provides everyone with the opportunity to improve their presenter skill set as well as discover new ones. This can be seen by listening to all the talented presenters entertaining us non stop. SOVH Radio/ Tv has it’s very own APP now! Download it and make sure you join the converstaion!

To be fair, the extra penalty you mention for WAPBL is not that large as the journal entries are consecutive storage on the disk and need only a single seek per flush. Especially if the journal can keep more than one version of a disk block (consider cvs up), it is a lot better on the disk as it doesn't force the ordered writes as softdep does. So saying that all metadata is written twice isn't excatly true and even if it does happen to be, wapbl allows the disk scheduler to work more efficient as it breaks the dependency cycles.

Asian Bridal Makeup: A Makeup Artist’s Guide To Getting Your Wedding Look Right Finding the right makeup artist for your wedding day can be intimidating, especially if you have more Asian features that don’t fit the Western best practices for bridal makeup. So East Meets Dress, a bridal fashion startup sat down with makeup artist and business owner, Kelly from Soyi Makeup & Hair to get her thoughts on how you can get your wedding look right for your style. How did you get started doing makeup? for Asian brides? In 2011, I took my first professional makeup course at a school in Hong Kong just for fun while I was still in banking. I invited a lot of my friends to be my models during the courses and they in turn asked me to be their makeup artist for their wedding. When guests at my friends’ weddings saw my work, people started reaching out to me to be their bridal makeup artist as well. That’s how I developed a larger client base of Asian brides, and eventually I left my finance profession to become a full time makeup artist. What are some tips for doing makeup for Asian brides? As Asian women, we have our own unique set of facial features and characteristics so makeup techniques that work for other races may not be suitable for us. My main tip is to find a professional makeup artist that has a lot of experience in doing makeup for Asian brides and understands how to work with Asian features. What do you think is the most impactful part of the makeup routine? If I had to choose one thing, I would say focus on the eye makeup. Most people focus on other people’s eyes when they look at their face! What is the most popular style for bridal makeup for Asian brides? The most requested bridal look from my brides is the soft, romantic look. This kind of makeup style is very timeless. I usually recommend going with a style that flatters your facial features instead of following any current trends. 20 years from now, you want to still look at your wedding pictures and say “Wow, I looked so nice at my wedding!” Any makeup tips for wearing a red cheongsam dress? This is a great question! Many of my Chinese brides have two dresses for their wedding day—a red cheongsam and a classic white bridal gown. I usually recommend my brides to wear red lipstick for their red cheongsam dress. You will be surprised by how good red lips look when you are in a traditional red dress. And simply changing just the lip color and switching the accessory can give you a very different bridal look! Hair up or down with a wedding cheongsam? I would recommend having the hair up when wearing a traditional Chinese wedding dress. An updo is more culturally and traditionally appropriate based on the attire. Many cheongsam dresses also have a higher neckline and beautiful details at the back that you don’t want to cover up! What do you recommend an Asian bride tell their makeup artist to get the right look for their big day? I recommend brides to do their research and find a makeup artist that’s experienced in the look that they are dreaming of. Look at the artist’s portfolio and see if you love the artist’s style. Every artist has his/ her own style and his/ her own way of seeing beauty. Having a bridal trial before the wedding day is very beneficial to both the bride and the makeup artist. During the trial, I usually talk to my clients to understand their dream look. I ask about their wedding style, details, colors, etc. I also show them pictures of different makeup looks and see which one they like the most. I also recommend finding some inspiration pictures online—especially ones of brides that are of your ethnicity and have similar facial features. Inspiration pictures greatly help the makeup artist visualize what beauty means to you. It is also important to tell your makeup artist if you have any specific areas that you want him/ her to address or achieve. To get some inspiration from other brides’ makeup on their wedding day, especially while wearing a wedding cheongsam, take a look below at Soyi’s brides!

|Majoring in Curls| We all know I love curls. They can be the world’s biggest annoyance, but also life’s biggest joy. It never gets old when someone randomly stops you to ask, “Is that natural?” And you modestly nod and smile a silly little grin as you walk away. So why are there so many of you ladies still straightening your hair? I understand that straight hair does have the reputation of being in control and put together. And when you toss your hair, it automatically falls back into place. But is it really worth what it takes to get it? Do you want to spend precious hours of your life patiently clamping and straightening section by section of hair? I’ll wager that if you tallied up how many hours a week you spend straightening your hair, and figure out how much it is yearly, you’d be shocked. For those of you out there who only straighten the hair once or twice a week, I apologize. You’ve created a good balance between you and your hair. But I’ve got to tell you, those one or two days will throw off the curl pattern for the curly days. If you quit the iron cold turkey, you’d find smoother, less crazy curls. Contrary to popular belief, it’s relatively easy to pick out a curly girl masquerading as a straightie. The way they carry themselves is completely different than how they hold a head of curls. The sensation of free, bouncing curls is so different from straight hair that lies against your head. I’ve only straightened my hair once in my life. (In my defense, I was coerced into it by well-meaning friends.) The day I did it, I noticed how I wouldn’t shake my head or even turn my head if I could help it. I was self-consciously holding my head still for fear that the curl would return! Needless to say, I had a little bit of a sore neck the next day, and my head was grateful for the curl to come back. No matter how much I promote the idea of embracing curls, I know there will always be a good portion of you out there who will still straighten your hair. You are the rebels who want smooth, flat hair every day. (You know who you are ; - ) ) Relaxers and straighteners are so damaging to your very fragile locks! Hair is pretty tough and strong all by itself, but the follicles become brittle every time you fry it. So this is my advice to you closet curlies -- tips that I hope will restore a little of that shine and strength back into your hair. As I said before, try not to straighten it every day. Give those tresses a rest in between fry days. That rest gives your hair a little time to oil up and get a little stronger before the next heat session. Use a deep conditioner at least once a week. A thick, rich cream-based conditioner should be left on for about a half hour, wrapped in a hot towel or a heat cap. When straightening your hair, try to use a flat iron with ceramic plates. Even though ceramic irons are more expensive, they are less damaging then metal plates. Don’t ever use those wet-to-dry straighteners! It makes me shudder to even think about. You all know that feeling you get when taking a brush to wet hair -- hair pulling and snapping! It’s like hearing Styrofoam being cut or nails running down a chalkboard. Just imagine the damage caused by that excess pulling! Don't go retro on me and straighten your hair with an actual iron. I have seen my sister take an iron her long, beautiful curls, never heeding my pleas to stop. If you really want straight hair -- everyday -- ditch the high-chemical relaxers and do a little research on Japanese, or thermal reconditioning. This process uses chemicals to keep the hair straight, but it also conditions and strengthens the hair with proteins to offset some of the damage. But be sure that you like your hair straight, because once you do TR, the curl is gone forever -- at least until the new growth comes in. And that's another story. So if you’re insistent upon the straight hair, play it safe. Keep those curls healthy!

Wow, last night was incredible. Nothing spectacular happened really, but it was more the atmosphere – the level of excitement and anticipation was almost palpable. We attended the high school band’s parent meeting last night. We arrived a little early, stepped into the gym and was nearly knocked over by a huge bubble of expectation. We had literally just stepped into a whole new chapter of Jazz’s life. We dutifully stepped in line and picked up about ten forms placed into neat stacks on a cafeteria-style table. We then secured a place for ourselves in the bleachers and Jazz promptly disappeared to sit with his friends. Moments after Kevin and I sat down, hoards of people began filing in and the brightly-colored forms that lined the table were soon gone. We recognized several faces, but we didn’t speak to any of them. We offered simple nods and polite smiles but kept to ourselves. That’s what we do. That’s who we are. We most likely appear stand-offish to many, me and my husband sitting shoulder-to-shoulder, speaking quietly, but we’re okay with that – we only need each other. The band director only has one arm. He’s rather a legend in our scholastic circle. He’s admired and revered because he does more with his one arm than a lot of band directors could ever hope to do with two. Our high school band had the best year it’s ever had last year. So naturally, the director is hoping for an even better year this year. He said the jazz band has fairly exploded and in fact, they were planning on having two jazz bands this year – Jazz was very happy to hear that. He briefly introduced the other directors and went over upcoming dates. We submissively absorbed the information like fresh, dry sponges. We were instructed to fill out three forms. Naturally, I didn’t have a pen on me and had to beg one of the ladies sitting behind us for one. One was a health form which required Jazz’s social security number. The reason he asked for the social security number was because last year, as they were leaving an event, their bus was rear-ended. (*gulp*) And the police asked for the social security number of every single child on the bus – which of course, no one knew or had. He said it was a mess and that in the future, they would have the numbers on file in case anything like that ever happened again. Let’s hope it never happens again. But I’m not worried. I’m honestly not. Though I would be lying if I didn’t admit that I am just a bit nervous about him taking long trips (and there’s an overnight stay in St. Louis in October), I know he’ll be okay. Because I trust God to take care of him. Another form was an instrument form. The kids had the option of changing instruments if they so chose. When the kids are in middle school, they are pretty much stuck with the instrument that is assigned to them and in high school, they have a bit more flexibility. Granted, if the kids chose to play a new instrument, they would be asked to take lessons, but they still had the freedom to pursue other options if they so chose. I thought that was cool. Naturally, Jazz listed his number one instrument as the alto sax, but he listed the baritone sax as his second instrument of choice. Later we told him that might not have been a wise choice given the barry sax is as big as he is and did he forget he was going to have to march with it? I highly doubt he’ll ever get to that point, but it might be fun for him to try it out. The last form caused me to break out into a sweat. It was an enrollment form for summer school. And the dates? Neatly nestled the date we plan on taking off for our cruise like two sarcastic parenthesis. But it was required. So I filled it out and stood in line to speak to the director. Jazz was distraught. He WANTS to go to band summer school. He even insisted that we cancel our cruise so he could attend. That’s how badly the boy wants to play in marching band. (And to think, six short months ago and turned his nose up at the idea. Ha!) When I told Jazz that there was no way we could, or would, cancel our cruise, his skinny little chest deflated and he looked crushed. I explained our situation to the director. Luckily, I had mis-read the form. Woodwinds were only required to attend summer school on certain days and those days? Did not conflict with our vacation. The heavens opened up, the angels began to sing and Jazz was happy once again. The meeting ended (I lost track of the woman who I borrowed the pen from so great, now I’m going to be known as “that woman who stole my pen” every time I see her at band functions, swell), and it wasn’t until we got home and I sat down to start putting the dates into my calendar that I realized … Jazz is going to be INSANELY busy from August to November. And it’s also going to cost a small fortune. I probably shouldn’t tell you exactly how much this is going to cost but let’s put it this way – we are expected to make three payments over the course of the next three months. He also has to buy several pairs of gloves (the woodwinds wear them), and special marching shoes (tennis shoes will not do). That’s another $40 bucks right there. But you know what? Big deal. There is no way we would deny Jazz this experience. And given his enthusiasm? It’ll be worth every penny. And may I just say? I can not wait to see him in his band uniform!! Because my family will probably be curious, I’m going to list the dates that he will either have summer school, camp, practice and performances. Ready? *draws a breath* Summer School (they actually gave him the music he needed to learn last night!) June 15 – 16 July 13 – 14 July 27 – 28 (don’t worry mom, practice is in the evening so he won’t pass out from the heat). August 10 – 14 8:00 – 5:00 Zoink! (he’ll actually be at school for 11 hours on the 14th because of freshman orientation that evening) August 17 – 18 8:00 – 5:00 Band practice every Tuesday night through September and October (until 9:00 – the boy will be exhausted on Wednesdays). He has a performance every weekend in October. And let’s not forget the football home games every other Friday night in September and October. He will be traveling to St. Louis twice to play at the dome. We plan on making the trip up there so we can watch him perform. When I mentioned the road trip to Dude, he perked up a bit. We try not to make that big of a deal about Jazz’s interest in music in front of Dude. We don’t want him to feel left out or less loved, but it’s really hard NOT to be excited because well, it’s exciting. But I’m hoping that all of this attention bestowed on Jazz and the fact that he will be having some amazing experiences prompts Dude to DO something next year. Dude and I talked a bit after we got back from the meeting last night and when I encouraged him to get involved with a club or something next year, he didn’t immediately reject the idea like he has in year’s past. I’m confident that if he just got involved in something, he would enjoy school a little more. He does act a bit more confident with school in general. I think being an upperclassman next year will really help boost his self-confidence and I’ve been encouraging him to take full advantage of the opportunities of being an upperclassman these last two years of school. I hope he he does. You know, time goes by fast anyway. I have a feeling these next four years are going to zoom by at warp speed. It’s both exciting and sobering.

You are here ONU students support Japanese disaster relief and each other On the morning of March 11, Japanese students studying at Ohio Northern University woke to the news that their country had been devastated by an earthquake and tsunami. Despite being more than 9,000 miles away, the students set out to help by organizing their own disaster relief fundraiser on campus and the university community has responded with their generosity. With the help of the ONU International Services offices, organizational meetings were held with the 17 Japanese students at ONU. The university primary focus was to help students stay informed and possibly deal with emotional stress from seeing their homeland in shambles. However, from these meetings the students decided they wanted to help by collecting donations for the Red Cross. According to International Services Coordinator Ryan Radebaugh, the students spent every night the past week organizing the fundraiser. They made posters and ordered wristbands for students who gave donations of $3 or more. “Although they are so far away from friends and family, they don’t feel so powerless when they are doing something to help the cause. The students worked quickly to get the information out there while the tsunami and earthquake were still fresh in peoples minds,” said Radebaugh. The support that these students have received from the ONU community has certainly made an impression on the Japanese students. “It is nice to see the support. Many people who pass us standing in McIntosh stop by to ask about our families, ask how we are dealing with the disaster and let us know that they are continuing to pray for us,” said Takeai Murakami, a senior marketing major. Caitlin Munro, a freshman pharmacy student from Lawrenceville, Ga., approached the students to make a donation. However, before she even donated, she asked Murakami and Nanami Akiyama, a freshman environmental studies major, how they were handling the disaster and how they’re families were doing. When asked why she was making a donation Munro replied, “It’s just the right thing to do.” In addition to the emotional support, the financial support has been generous. As of Friday, March 18, more than $1,000 had been raised and over 100 people are expected to receive wristbands. Takeaki Murakami says that he hopes that the wristbands will not only help to raise additional awareness and support for Japan, but help students and faculty to remember the disaster that happened as well. Donation boxes have also been placed at both Northern On Main and Dining Services to give people additional opportunities to donate, and the music department will have a collection box outside Presser Snyder Recital Hall until the end of spring quarter or donations to the Red Cross. UPDATE: The ONU community raised $5100.76, which will be sent to the American Red Cross. "To represent Japanese students at Ohio Northern University, I would like to thank for those who kindly donated to Japan's earthquake relief. Thank you very much for your generosity," said Saki Morikawa.

21 - 23 September 2016 Hall 1, booth 335R Carbon Composites e.V. 29. November – 01. December 2016 Hall 8B, Booth F40 Global conference on MW wind blade design, composites manufacturing, performance and maintenance 12 - 14 December 2016 Maritim Hotel, Dusseldorf 14. – 16. marc 2017 Hall 5A, booth N6 Specially devised to facilitate the vacuum infusion process in intricate components, VAP® 3D ready-mades reliably remove air and gas residues from the matrix around where they are deployed. Thanks also to their semi-permeable characteristics, they support use of VAP® membrane systems over entire component surfaces in exacting fabrication and repair assignments. As part of the AZIMUT and RoCk projects and working in response to calls for automated and optimized process chains, Trans-Textil and Composyst have developed a new made-to-shape approach especially devised for large aviation structures that need to be fabricated in one integral process. Starting with the geometry data of the Airbus A350 pressure bulkhead, this involved compiling the layers in the VAP® process lay-up into a VAP® 3D material kit made up of instant-use textile auxiliaries that have been tailored to the precise shape of the component mold. The large-scale, multi-layer made-to-shape VAP® 3D solutions come with robot grip straps for swift, automatic and precisely-positioned layer stacking in the mold. This almost entirely eliminates the need for laborious cutting work and other preparatory tasks such as joining, positioning, repositioning and fixing the layers by hand. The VAP® 3D material kit has already proved its worth in a trial involving a full-size Airbus A350 pressure bulkhead in the RoCk Projekt. New membrane products and enhanced fabrication technology at the JEC The VAP® membrane-assisted vacuum infusion process has become a standard in serial production of high-quality fibre reinforced polymers components. Manufacturers worldwide have come to appreciate the high process stability delivered by the process with the help of semi-permeable membranes from Trans-Textil GmbH and Composyst GmbH. The two partners will be celebrating this success and showcasing related technology and products at the JEC Europe 2015 in Paris (hall 7.3, booth D6). As part of a partnership with Airbus, Elbe Flugzeugwerke GmbH (EFW) of Saxony has been assigned the task of development, production and delivery of a new floor component. Working in cooperation with Leichtbau-Zentrum Sachsen GmbH, the company devised an innovative floor structure for the new Airbus A350XWB in an ambitious development period of a mere two years. EFW will now be undertaking serial production of the respective components according to the VAP® method, whereby Trans-Textil's aviation-qualified C2003 VAP®-membrane system will be finding use.

VAP® membrane systems by Trans-Textil GmbH serve as a gas-permeable resin barrier in the Vacuum Assisted Process and enable reliable removal of trapped air and gas during the whole infusion procedure. From 13 to 15 May, the exclusive manufacturer of VAP® membrane systems will be exhibiting its products at the JEC Americas in Atlanta along with Composyst GmbH, provider of full services in the VAP®-related application technology field. Composyst GmbH offers process engineering support based on its long experience in use and adaptation of the VAP® process in practical applications and is also the global sales partner for licensed VAP® membrane products from the exclusive manufacturer and general licensee Trans-Textil GmbH. An intelligent, heavy-duty CFC rotor blade has been developed and produced by Avantgarde Technologie GmbH for the SCHOTTEL Group using VAP® technology and process engineering support from Composyst GmbH. To limit the shearing forces that can occur at overspeed, the intelligent blade adjusts in shape to enlarge its pitch angle. This significantly reduces thrust augmentation and keeps the load exerted on the tur bine and the supporting structure at a low The carbon chassis of an electrically-powered go-kart has been produced entirely in VAP® technology by the StudKart student initiative at Stuttgart University. Thanks to use of a VAP® membrane system by Trans-Textil, the complex geometry of the CFRP sandwich structure frame was infused without occurrence of any dry spots. The interdisciplinary StudKart work group makes use of the latest developments in the electromobility field and develops innovative ideas of its own. Thanks to the hybrid construction of the carbon chassis, a weight savings of 40 percent has been achieved compared to the previous model. The whole project has been conceived and realized by the students at their own initiative. The electric-powered glider ELIAS (Electric Aircraft of IABG ACENTISS) based on the Elektra One Solar, a solar-electric aircraft by PC-Aero GmbH of Nesselwang, has a wingspan of 10.60 m yet weighs a mere 211 kg. The ultralight glider is nevertheless a complete small airplane. Use of the VAP® method In the fabrication of the carbon wings by Composyst GmbH delivered a significant saving in weight as well as maximum process reliability. VAP® is an established production process originally developed in the aerospace sector. Qpoint Composite GmbH specializes in the production of complex electric heatable forming tools. As a manufacturer of innovative production devices, the VAP® licensee has been a partner to the aviation and automotive industries since 2009. Deployment of VAP® technology provides it a top-grade, reliable manufacturing process that enables it to produce heatable component molds and customer-specific solutions in line with the exacting requirements of the automotive and aviation sectors in terms of quality, consistency, availability and flexibility. VAP® is an established production process originally developed in the aerospace sector. The Center of Excellence for VAP® use in aviation applications is a community of specialized companies offering core competencies along the component production chain in the areas of engineering, project planning, aviation-qualified VAP® membrane systems and further materials, process introduction, production support, contract manufacturing and component qualification. The Center of Excellence is thus able to provide international customers a raft of end-to-end services and aids for all areas of VAP® implementation and product realization. The Rhepro 21, a RHEproducible boat designed by Hamburg's Rhe Sailing Club, is a modern dinghy characterized by high performance potential as well as excellent stability and strength reserves. The lifting keel offers a variable draft for flexibility in the choice of sailing waters and enables a comfortable fit on a trailer. The Rhepro 21 is thus suitable for sport and regatta sailing throughout Europe. The qualified VAP® membrane system C2003 developed by Trans-Textil acts as the basis of the three-dimensional custom-shaped membranes developed as part of the AZIMUT and RoCK aviation projects. Custom-shaped system components facilitate lay-up handling and deliver significant time and costs savings in the fabrication of complex integral assemblies on the basis of tailor-made vacuum bags produced with the help of innovative joining techniques. Following the official start of the RoCK project, Trans-Textil GmbH and its partners are now concerned with streamlining the industrial-scale VAP® process still further. Fabrication of a pressure bulkhead at Premium AEROTEC GmbH. Note the custom-made shaped vacuum bag made of C2003, an aviation-qualified membrane system by Trans-Textil. The partners in the VAP®Alliance offer support to interested manufacturing enterprises on all aspects of the VAP® Vacuum Assisted Process – whether making the move from hand lamination to closed infusion technology for consistent process yields, enhancing the quality of an existing resin infusion process, or implementing an economical production alternative. The VAP® Alliance expert network will be participating in the JEC Europe at the Carbon Composites Association stand (no. T46) in Hall 1. Trans-Textil GmbH, Airbus-licensed manufacturer of central components for the patented VAP® method, has qualified its C2003 VAP® membrane system for aviation applications together with its partners Airbus Deutschland GmbH and Premium Aerotec GmbH. This places a new high-temperature-resistant and practically transparent material on the market for membrane-assisted vacuum infusion in the aerospace sector. The C2003 membrane system, a complete new development by Trans-Textil, acts as a reliable resin barrier for vacuum infusion processes and ensures dependable air and gas evacuation over the entire component surface. Specifically developed for use with certain resin systems at defined temperatures (up to 190°), it is already proving of value in the fabrication of aviation components. Expert network for membrane-assisted low pressure infusion at the Carbon Composites Association booth (booth A03 in hall 4) The VAP® Alliance will be participating in the Composites Europe 2011 booth at the invitation of Cassidian, the Global Security Division of Airbus. Comprising a network of experts offering support to manufacturing enterprises on every aspect in implementation of the VAP® Vacuum Assisted Process, the Alliance is growing in tandem with the increase of interest in the membrane-assisted resin infusion technology. The specialised companies in the VAP® Alliance offer services and products for every phase in implementation of the VAP® process – from planning, structural engineering and design-to-cost through provision of VAP® membrane systems and other special aids to actual process implementation, training in its use and contract production of prototypes and serial components. In the last 40 years FUS has been a high performing and extremely competent supplier of a wide range of vacuum process materials. FUS has recently joined the VAP-Network and is a full subsidiary of Airbus, who is the patent holder of the VAP-Technology (Vacuum Assisted Process). FUS offers a complete range of VAP-certified vacuum process materials and components. This results in an increase in process reliability for the user enabling him to make full use of the advantages of the VAP process. The Institute of Textile Machinery and High Performance Material Technology (ITM) at Dresden Technical University has joined the VAP® network, thus expanding the expertise offered by the VAP® Alliance in the fields of preform lay-up for complex component geometries, near net shape preforming and cut calculation for reinforcement structures and VAP® materials. The goal of the VAP® Alliance is to provide licensed VAP® partners expert advice and networked support in all phases of the vacuum-assisted process. The photo shows Matthias Krings, Commercial Manager at Trans-Textil GmbH, presenting Prof. Hartmut Rödel (left) and Prof. Sybille Krzywinski of ITM with the VAP® network certificate. At the JEC Composites in Paris this March, Airbus Defense & Space will be presenting its VAP® Alliance and showing how easy it is to gain a license to deploy the VAP® method of membrane-assisted low pressure infusion. At its invitation, VAP® Alliance members will be showcasing examples of VAP®-fabricated components and products at the joint booth (No. T46 in hall 1), including the E-Port vehicle charging station by Secar Technologie GmbH, the NEXICOS demonstrator by Premium Aerotec GmbH and bobsleighs by Singer Carbontechnik. Secar Technologie GmbH, developer and producer of the E-Port, is a successful licensed VAP® user in the electromobility field. "We make the whole roof of the E-Port, a solar carport charging station, according to the VAP® method. It not only provides us consistent results and nil-porosity components but is also an economically attractive fabrication process", explains Karl-Heinz Semlitsch, Secar managing director. The E-Port will be making its international debut at the VAP® Alliance booth (Hall 1, Booth T46) at the JEC 2011 in Paris. German transport minister meets VAP®-network partners Dr. Peter Ramsauer visits Trans-Textil GmbH A strong network for a powerful technology – this is how VAP® network partners presented themselves at the visit recently paid by Dr. Peter Ramsauer, German Minister for Transport, Construction and Urban Development, to Trans-Textil in Freilassing, south-east Germany. The company, which is licensed to manufacture VAP® membrane systems and issue licenses authorising their use, was holding an event in collaboration with Airbus Defense & Space, Premium Aerotec GmbH, Composyst GmbH and Secar Technologie GmbH to showcase future-oriented projects involving large complex lightweight components fabricated according to the VAP® method. The potential held by membrane-assisted low pressure infusion for traffic technologies is enormous, as impressively demonstrated both by the "E-Port" electric car filling station produced by Secar according to the VAP® method and the NEXICOS demonstrator fabricated by Premium Aerotec in a single pass. Photo: In future, the large roof structure on the "E-Port", which provides electric vehicles with power, will be produced in VAP® technology. Left to right: Stefan Utecht (Managing Director of Composyst GmbH), Dr. Aimo Bülte (Vice President & Head of Technology Innovation Management at Airbus Cassidian), Dr. Peter Ramsauer (German Minister for Transport), Karl-Heinz Semlitsch (Managing Director of Secar Technologie GmbH) and Dirk Schmidt and Matthias Krings (Trans-Textil GmbH). As part of its Technology Licensing Initiative, Airbus Defense & Space is placing its patented VAP® membrane-assisted, low pressure infusion method at the disposal of the market by means of a licence management system. Trans-Textil GmbH, Airbus-authorised VAP® licensor for the non-aerospace sector and preferred Airbus partner in the aerospace sector, is the direct, worldwide contact for all questions concerning contract-based VAP® licensing. The exclusive Airbus partner for VAP® membrane systems will be exhibiting at the Composites Europe show at stand A05 in hall 12. Dr. Peter Ramsauer finds out about Freilassing’s textile technologies of the future Trans-Textil GmbH took the Parliamentary Evening of the Carbon Composites Association (CCeV) at the Federal Office of the Free State of Bavaria as an opportunity to present itself in the capital as a medium-sized company to ministry employees and members of the federal and state parliaments. The Freilassing-based business invited Federal Transport Minister Dr. Peter Ramsauer to find out about the latest functional textile applications in VAP®(Vacuum Assisted Process)-lightweight construction. Fibre-reinforced plastics play an increasingly significant role in transport technology. The use of glass and carbon fibres helps to dramatically reduce the weight of aircraft, cars, lorries and rail vehicles, thereby slashing fuel consumption and pollutant emissions. This is one of the reasons why Dr. Ramsauer showed a great deal of interest in Trans-Textil’s functional textiles, which ensure that components for lightweight construction are particularly high quality and safe thanks to the application of Airbus’s patented Vacuum Assisted Process. Premium AEROTEC GmbH recently demonstrated its own production expertise and the strengths of VAP® membrane-assisted low pressure infusion at the unveiling of the prototype of a civilian helicopter fuselage section in its NEXICOS project. Using VAP® membrane systems, the aerostructure supplier had fabricated the complex fuselage barrel in a single go, complete with integrated stringers, local reinforcements and window frames. As it reports, the Vacuum Assisted Process not only enabled automation of various process steps but also delivered significant mould-making flexibility, thus smoothing the way further for scaling up production of the part to the industrial level. The VAP® approach also yielded cost savings of 30 percent over comparable prepreg structures. The technology licensing contract with Diamond Aircraft Industries enables this manufacturer to utilise Airbus’ patented Vacuum Assisted Process (VAP®) and VAP® - membrane systems by Trans-Textil in the production of its full range of general aviation and personal jet aircraft. VAP® allows composite structures to be manufactured without the use of traditional autoclaves, and provides high quality parts that are more cost effective to produce while also improving production flexibility and reducing throughput times. Diamond Aircraft Industries already has successfully demonstrated the advantages of VAP® in proof-of-concept development work for its D-JET private jet, and is expected to apply this process across its product line of general aviation aircraft, which are produced at the company’s facilities in Austria and Canada. In June, Trans-Textil exhibited multifunctional VAP® membrane systems at the 2010 Berlin Air Show (ILA), placing its products on display at the German Economics and Technology Ministry booth in a joint showing with the German Industrial Association for Finishing, Yarns, Fabrics and Technical Textiles (IVGT). The aerospace sector is regarded as one of the most exacting and sophisticated application fields for Vacuum Assisted Process and other state-of-the-art textile technologies. Joint marketing of VAP® technology by Airbus and Trans-Textil got off to a start at the JEC Composites Show in Paris, where the main attractions of the companies' joint showing consisted of a prototype fuselage for Diamond Aircraft's D-Jet and a pressure bulkhead made for an Airbus by Premium Aerotec – two complex components fabricated in the VAP® membrane-assisted low pressure infusion approach. At the Carbon Composites Association booth, Trans-Textil GmbH also unveiled its new multifunctional membrane laminate solutions developed for use in the VAP® method. The photo on the right shows the management of Trans-Textil GmbH and members of the Airbus Technology Licensing Team. The Airbus-patented Vacuum Assisted Process (VAP®) uses the characteristics of semi-permeable state-of-the-art membrane systems to exert vacuum over the entire area of a resin-infused mould to remove trapped air and volatiles in an efficient and reliable manner. VAP® membrane systems are developed and produced by Airbus partner Trans-Textil GmbH, which also licenses their use in the non-aerospace sector. In a joint showing with Airbus, Trans-Textil will be exhibiting new technical solutions for VAP® membrane-assisted low pressure infusion at the JEC Composites Show, underscoring intensification of their colaboration. Customised ready-mades and next-generation developments are continually expanding the range of applications-oriented uses to which Trans-Textil´s VAP® membrane systems can be put. An example concerns its VAP® Strips, which it delivers in bespoke widths for use in the fabrication of edges and corners on complex integrated components. Integrating several VAP® stack layers into one significantly facilitates handling in the production of lightweight parts, and is a feature of VAP® Multilayer. Such forward-looking textile solutions for use in the VAP® approach will be placed on view at the upcoming JEC Composites Show. The VAP® Vacuum Assisted Process is an advanced process technology based on the classical vacuum infusion techniques used to produce lightweight components out of fibre reinforced polymers (FRP). VAP® technology deploys semipermeable VAP® membrane systems for reliable degassing of the matrix material both during and after resin infusion. Thanks to the continual venting of trapped air and reaction gases, vacuum infiltration performed according to the VAP® Vacuum Assisted Process delivers quality components out of carbon fibre composites (CFC), glass-fibre reinforced polymers (GRP), aramid fibre-reinforced polymers (AFP) and other fibre-reinforced composites. Lightweight nil-porosity parts offering a precisely achievable fibre volume content without dry spots are the result. Since the VAP® process lowers costs by reducing the number of rejects and the need for reworking, it is a highly economical lightweight construction method for use in batch manufacturing and series production. VAP® membrane systems and production auxiliaries not only deliver high process consistency and predictability but can also be adapted to the component in question for automation of process steps and reduction of handling. The interaction of VAP® membrane systems with various resins systems all the way up to the high-temperature level is tested in realistic conditions. VAP® has long been proving its worth, making it an established method for the production of high-quality lightweight components for use in aviation and wind power as well as in the transport sector and other industrial mass production applications. In the interests of VAP® users and their customers, the patented VAP® process as well as VAP® membrane systems and related components are protected in all application fields by extensive international industrial property rights held by Airbus and Trans-Textil. A license contract provides entitlement to use of patented VAP® technology. The partners in the VAP® Alliance offer not only various production auxiliaries but also professional support in the areas of engineering, application technology and fabrication. They also accompany verification, qualification and acceptance processes as well as series and contract production, and furnish instruction and training in the use of membrane-assisted vacuum infusion according to the VAP® Vacuum Assisted Process.

The Great Sioux Nation is made up of seven sub nations and called itself, Oceti Sakowin. Yet, because of deceit, greed, and dishonesty by the United States, six of the sub nations almost totally disappeared by the beginning of the 20th Century. In 1972, President Richard Nixon signed an Executive Order in secret declaring this four-state region of the country to be a "National Sacrifice Area" for the mining and production of uranium and nuclear energy. In southwestern South Dakota, the southern Black Hills contain many abandoned uranium mines. Nuclear radiation near Edgemont, SD, polluted the underground water of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation according to a study completed in the 1980s by Women of All Red Nations. Our speical guest today is Charmaine White Face, Zumila Wobaga, (66) is Oglala Tituwan Oceti Sakowin (Oglala Lakota from the Great Sioux Nation). She is a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. As the Spokesperson for the Sioux Nation Treaty Council, established in 1894, she authored a book called Indigenous Nations Rights in the Balance, An Analysis of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples after attending the debates for a number of years at the United Nations. In 2002, she founded and continues to coordinate Defenders of the Black Hills, a non-profit environmental organization which received the international Nuclear Free Future Award for Resistance in 2007, in Salzburg, Austria. Ms. White Face is a Physical Scientist and Biologist. She taught at the college level prior to becoming a writer.

Thank you for this thread! I am almost finished with the book and have begun implementing the "system." As I read the book, I feel free and ready to practice the ART of stress-free productivity. I have to learn a new vocabulary, After finding the forum and reading a number of the posts, I feel as though there is an unspoken standard that is used to measure whether someone is GTD enough. Yet this doesn't seem fit with what I read in the book. I am a teaher and artist, I do not work in the corporate business world. My MSED is in Workforce Education and Development and I teach CTE classes. I also have a disability that affects my brain's executive functioning, ADD. I really do believe GTD is a great system that will enable me to become more creative and productive, accomplishing my list of life goals! This quote from the What is GTD thread is a perfect explanation of how it can accommodate the needs of a person with ADD....... The quote above is my mantra for using GTD-I just want to know that whatever way I implement GTD will be understood and accepted on this site! I am not working towards a black belt-my goal is to live my life unhindered by stuff, able to capture and express my creativity, and that the ART of Stress-Free-Living will be a part of transforming my life through what the Zander's call,The ART of Possibility.Implementing GTD alleviates the feeling of overwhelm, instills confidence, and releases a flood of creative energy. It provides structure without constraint, managing details with maximum flexibility. The system rigorously adheres to the core principles of productivity, while allowing tremendous freedom in the "how." The only "right" way to do GTD is getting meaningful things done with truly the least amount of invested attention and energy. Coaching thousands of people, where they work, about their work, has informed the GTD method with the best practices of how to work (and live), in that most efficient and productive way. Thank you for helping me understand what I see as a dichotomy.

Okay, to make this mad adventure of mine have as many unexpected twists and turns as possible (tinged with a little good fortune) here is today for you all! The boat rocked back and forth most of the night. It was actually quite nice and relaxing, (kind of like being in a hammock, swinging you to sleep) but not a motion that some people would like, especially not if they had a tendency towards seasickness. At 5.30am, I was up and receiving my weather satellite message. As you might have guessed, it was no longer favourable to be on the water (so a ”no go”) and I had to put the paddle down. By a stroke of good luck, the crew of the fishing boat were due to unload their filled bins today onto a pre-booked chiller truck that was meeting them at the wharf in the Westhaven/Whanganui Inlet. As the sun rose, they started to ready their bins. They were on a tight deadline to get across the inlet’s horrendous bar and were due to go up to the wharf to unload, re-load with provisions, throw me and Louise overboard until such time as a more suitable weather window arrives and then, get back across the bar before the tide turned. It was literally “all hands on deck”, with me grabbing the frozen boxes of bait from the truck driver and then, when Jase arrived soon after, he was also on the wharf, wading knee deep in water (there being a huge high tide up over the wharf ramps) carrying bins of crayfish back and forth to the truck. It all was done quickly and without any hitches. Then it was my turn, we dropped Louise over the side, I clambered over as well, sat in her and paddled quickly to the ramp, while the team on “Preditor” headed back out of the inlet to the bar in order to get out onto the West Coast ocean again. We exchanged details of when, where and how I would get back with them. I plan to begin my paddle at the original pick-up point once the weather has cleared sufficiently. There was no point me staying on board as they, too, could be heading back into dock in the next day or so, as the winds are looking really bad. “Oh, well” I thought, “Westhaven Inlet needs to be paddled around as it looks pretty amazing at high tide.” As we loaded up, we found we had an extra bin, our own huge crayfish for dinner tonight. Although “huge” doesn’t describe it well enough, “MONSTER” maybe! Having waved goodbye to the “Preditor”, we left the wharf and headed back to the Wyllie farm, a favourite place of mine. Big hugs and “hellos” to Joyce and family, then a long shower as Jase cooked up a big lunch and I chatted and laughed about the last twenty-four hours of this crazy journey. How incredibly lucky to have met and been connected to these groups of people and how they have all helped so much to get me this little bit further north. I have to sidetrack for a second to tell you that, when Jase was whizzing back along the road yesterday, just a little further south of the Mokihinui River, who did he happen to see walking along the beach but Kirsty, the way cool lady who waved me goodbye a month ago from their crazy, heaving West Coast beach. I will never forget the colourful, cool people who have stopped to chat to us every day. Thanks to all, you are the ones who have helped to make this trip so memorable. Anyway back to my day. Once we had been fed and my gear was washed and drying, it was then beach walking and assessing time. As suspected, it was a seething mass of water with a big, westerly swell rolling in, with a really low tide and big winds. But as always on this coast, there is something that makes you stop, something that makes you sit down and absorb the incredible force and rawness in this part of the country. Whether it's the massive sand dunes, so tall they nearly reach the sky; or the huge rocks and cliffs to climb, on which to feel the wind trying to blow you sideways; or the rock pools that have been formed, looking like big, mermaid baths in and around the exposed low tide rocks. I walk and continue talking about everything I see. It’s as if my eyes are new and I’m looking at everything with an enhanced sense of excitement and wonder. This beach today is powerful and the feeling has cemented itself in my mind as a place just to sit on a huge, high rock and look out to sea. It makes me feel very much in the moment. But I’m dragged back to the farmhouse as we have to cook the monster crayfish. Now I love eating the beasts but, alive, kicking and very active crayfish are not my best friends. I leave this to Jase to deal with and there’s lots of laughter as he tries to get it in the pot. Dive gloves on, pot and tongs in hand, he’s in his element. Go Chef Jason! Tonight it’s crayfish for starters and roast lamb for mains, for our dinner at the farmhouse table. My smiles today: Helping out on the cray-boat. I reckon I could be a useful crew member, well, nearly! Climbing into Louise off the back of the huge boat. Back on the farm, back by the fire. The beach today. Wild, raw freedom. My thoughts today: Life is a wave. Catch it! Tonight we have the fire cranked up and I’m actually very happy. Another step closer, baby steps, perhaps, but at least not drifting backwards. Goodnight from Red, Jase and everyone else at the farmhouse. Ma Te Wa.

Posted by lisabethur8 I know you're happy, Don. there's so much goodness out there. we do, we have food, a warm home, heater works, and roof over our heads. what are maslow hierarchy of needs... we have all the basic foundations. I know the answer. The answer is you need to find someone you love that loves you back. It's so clichéd but honestly I got over everything that I thought made me happy. Hookups. Sick lofts. Sick furniture. Wardrobe. Cars etc. Friends admiration. Praise and promotion professionally. Im trading it all in without a second thought for the one I love. It's like a bloom internally. I can't even explain it. I have a glow now and am looking younger. I'm laughing nonstop on the daily. It's biuriful. Why come life is so good brah why? They lied to you people. They lied about everything. The truth is simple. U must find the one u love that loves you back. From that moment on u will have the motivation to be your best self.

Hello, bookish friends, and welcome back to the blog! This week’s post is actually something I’ve never done before: We’ve got a guest blogger in the house, woot woot! My very dear and wildly talented bookish friend, Nicole (aka @little_free_librarian over on Insta) is here to share some of her amazeballs bookstagram photography tips with you today! Let’s commence with passing over the honorary torch to her, shall we? Bookstagram…. Ya’know, Instagram but for books? Crazy right! But there’s this whole entire community out there loving, hating, reviewing, and photographing books on Instagram. The other day in a class, we had one of those ever lovely and oh-so-popular ice breakers that we bookish folk love so much, and that ice-breaker was to describe something that you know a lot about. People were sharing about cooking the perfect baked alaska or bungee jumping and explaining the inner mechanics of the ‘chute deploying… I’m a librarian, I read for my fun and for work. I know very little beyond books. What was I supposed to talk about? But then, of course, that answer is books. The answer is always books. I’m not a professional photographer by any means (though I did photograph that one wedding one time… ), and I’m only so-so popular in the booksta community, but I do love a good flat-lay. So that’s what I shared, and people were enthralled! “What’s bookstagram?” “That’s a thing!?” “Are there accounts for Manga?” and the answer is yes and yes and yes. A flat-lay is a photographer and marketing term which means to take a photo from directly over top of an item, giving the viewer a birds-eye view. The Nikon School says that flat-lay photography has never been more popular than it is right now. And for good reason… Just look at this flat-lay magic! My favorite props are twinkle lights, cute junk, and everyday items. I burn that candle, I use that candle, and the rest? Mostly stuff you can find at your local craft store, the dollar section at Target, or the dollar store! And my background is usually just a plain white canvas I bought at Walmart! Some people use blankets, some people use other books – a background can be anything that sparks joy for you! I’m currently just a fan of the clean lines of a canvas. Are you trying to get a good flat-lay shot of your e-reader? Here’s a fun tip… photoshop that cover on! It’s way easier than dealing with your reflection in the screen. Here’s a before and after of an image I superimposed the cover onto using Canva (Canva is my best friend) Don’t be afraid of layers and textures! I use blankets and sweaters to add a good texture to my photos. I like the fuzzy, cozy feel that it adds to the photo. Your props, whether candles, blankets, or what have you, will help you curate your feed (if that’s something that you’re into). I try to keep at least one prop consistent in my top 9 photos – unless I veer away from my flat-lay, which even I do sometimes – to keep the feed consistent and welcoming. Your top 9 photos are your first impression for new viewers or would-be-followers, so cater to that first impression – you only get to make it once! But don’t stifle your own creativity, either. I am constantly changing my own editing and themes! This is a creative outlet. Have fun. Enjoy it. Don’t make it feel like work. Did you try your hand and find… “Hey. None of my pictures look anything like hers!” Well, welcome to bookstagram where we value creativity and the exchange of ideas. No two people’s flat-lays will look identical. The photos on booksta are always stellar… Plus of course we love the book reviews. My TBR list has grown exponentially since I’ve joined this community… But that’s exactly what this is first and foremost. This is a community, and I’ve met some very good and fun people through this app. Here are two of my booksta bffs who are wildly talented beautiful people who have vastly different styles to me and to each other! MJ is like me in the sense that she loves her props! You can see them scattered around the photo, but the difference is in her staging and editing. MJ’s photos are much moodier and more “dark-academia-vibey” than my own and check out that gorgeous depth she creates by placing her books spine-up. A flat-lay doesn’t have to appear flat. We love depth! You can create this by putting your books on a platform to make them higher than the rest of your photos or showing them spine up like MJ does. Or if you have floral, try holding it in front of the lens (hand off camera) and click to focus on the image below. It will create a nice floral blur and provide depth to your photo. Kayla’s own flat-lay is one of my favorite techniques. You’ll see a lot of bookstagrammers including their legs to create a special detail shot! I have not perfected this technique, but Kayla’s is so chic and crisp. I love the use of the white linen as the backdrop and the contrast with the dark coffee. Where MJ is moody and I am dreamy, Kayla is modern and utilizes vibrant colors to her advantage. You can even see the pull of oranges through the photo with her sweater and the cover of the book. Ultimately, the best flat-lay is the one you enjoyed making! Bookstagram is fun and flat-lays are just one of many book photography techniques. Explore, find what you like, and have fun. I hope to see you around the ‘gram soon. You can always reach me at @little_free_librarian. Let’s be friends! Thank you so much for sharing some of your super fun bookish photography tips with us today, Nicole! I for one am going to be trying some of these out myself on my own bookstragram feed, and so should all of you! Until next week, bookish peeps! May your weekend be filled with trying out all these super fun bookstagram photography tips. I know mine will be 🙂

By Victor Thorn — Hillary Clinton portrays herself as a guiding light of women’s rights, a cause she’ll undoubtedly exploit as a candidate when she officially announces her run for president in the 2016 election. Considering her role as an enabler and cover-up artist for her sexual predator husband, though, many critics are questioning whether Mrs. Clinton and her legion of feminist supporters are the true source of what Democrats called a “war on women” during the 2012 campaign season. To bolster their point, strategists trotted out a graduate student named Sandra Fluke who complained that Republicans hated women because they didn’t want to pay for their birth control pills. This controversial issue gained momentum on February 18 when Kathleen Willey, a former volunteer aide that Bill Clinton sexually harassed in the Oval Office, stated, “Hillary Clinton is the war on women,” during a televised interview. Telling Megyn Kelly of Fox News: “Hillary Clinton ruins women before they can ruin Bill. . . . I found out firsthand how she operates. . . . Hillary choreographed every terror campaign that has been waged against women. Bill Clinton groped me in the Oval Office against my will, and I’ve been harassed and intimidated for years. . . . How could she be a champion of women’s rights and do what she does to women? Hillary needs to be exposed.” Willey went on to describe how her car had been vandalized and even her pets mysteriously went missing, which she says was an attempt to bully her. In this author’s book HILLARY (AND BILL) THE SEX VOLUME, the Clintons’ antics are exposed in graphic detail. Although this newspaper prides itself on being a family newspaper, it’s essential that readers realize what a debauched individual Bill Clinton is. According to victim Juanita Broaddrick, Clinton “forcibly, painfully raped her” while nearly biting her lip off to prevent her from screaming. Later, Clinton, who was governor of Arkansas at the time, dispatched state troopers to procure state employee Paula Jones, who they escorted to a hotel room. Moments later, Clinton exposed himself while trying to strong-arm Ms. Jones into having sexual relations with him. This theme of predatory behavior can likewise be found in Willey’s description of Clinton’s assault on her in the White House, on the same day her husband committed suicide. “[Bill Clinton’s] sexual approach came out of nowhere and was forceful, almost to the point of an attack,” she said. It goes without saying that an authentic advocate of women’s rights would try to have serial rapists arrested and imprisoned. Yet Hillary, concerned only with power and political expediency, established secret police smear campaigns against her husband’s victims. She formed covert spy networks, hired private detectives to intimidate women who threatened to go public and even urged her thuggish brother to “take out” one of Bill’s female critics. Hillary’s tactics also extended to verbal abuse. She referred to women who were sexually assaulted by Clinton as “bimbo eruptions,” “white trash” and “cheap sluts.” Who could forget Hillary’s hit man, James Carville, who said of Ms. Jones, “Drag a $100 bill through a trailer park and you’ll never know what you’ll find.” On February 17 and 18, this reporter contacted eight feminist and women’s anti-sexual violence organizations to elicit a response to this situation. Amazingly, not a single one of these groups agreed to speak about Hillary and Bill’s war on women. One of the only comments came from Marsha Roberson, director of communications for Futures Without Violence, which attempts to educate women on all forms of violence. “We don’t tend to get involved with candidates or day-to-day politics,” Ms. Robertson stated. “It’s not like there’s a cover-up. This issue simply hasn’t risen to the level of priority yet.” This same attitude arose from a staff member at The Advocates for Human Rights, an organization that ironically tries to strengthen accountability mechanisms against those who prey on females. The woman who did not want her name used in our article told AFP, “We don’t comment on specific politicians or candidates.” If her rationale applies across the board, anybody elected to public office could go on a rampage like Ted Bundy and they’d remain silent. In all honesty, why are these groups even in existence if they refuse to address the most prolific serial rapist in American political history, along with his handler wife who actively engages in vendettas against those who’ve suffered from his abuses? That’s like saying an organization devoted to preventing arson doesn’t think it’s a priority when two dozen homes had been deliberated burned to the ground. On the other hand, Laura Wood, a blogger known as “The Thinking Housewife,” issued this statement to AFP on Feb. 19. “Hillary Clinton’s the Chairman Mao of feminism. If Bill had been a Republican senator, he would have lost his career a long time ago. Instead, his bad behavior is viewed as a personal failing that has nothing to do with politics. The ends justify the means.” Victor Thorn is a hard-hitting researcher, journalist and author of over 50 books.

8:30 - 8:50 am. REGISTRATION + COFFEE and PASTRIES. 8:50 - 9:00 am WELCOMING REMARKS --- MODERATOR: Mr. Jay Nordsten, AIA, CSI, CDT, CCCA LEED® BD+C 9:00 - 10:30 a.m. PART 1: DEVELOPING SPECIFICATONS for COMMERCIAL INTERIORS Mr. Andrew Wilson, RA, CSI, CDT, CCCA, CCS, LEED® AP --- Principal AW/AWC West 10:30 --10:45 a.m. REFRESHMENT BREAK 10:45 - 12:30 a.m. PART 2: PLANNING FOR SUSTAINABLE COMMERCIAL INTERIORS AND LEED® for COMMERCIAL INTERIORS [LEED®-CI] PROJECTS Mr. Kelly McArthur Ingalls, CSI, CDT, LEED® AP BD+C, ID+C -- President KMI Building Industry Consulting, Inc. Laurie Johnson, Associate, LEED AP ID+C -- Hooks ASD 12:30 pm. END OF CLASS - Commercial interiors and tenant improvements are often designed and built using drawing sets without a complete project manual. General project requirements and technical details and product requirements are often noted on the drawing sets, but not in a separate set of specifications. - The first part of this seminar, presented by Andrew Wilson, will focus on the importance of developing a full project manual in coordination with the drawings to provide a complete set of construction documents for commercial interiors projects. It will emphasize the advantages of using a full set of specifications and drawings to confirm owner requirements, achieve the design intent, clarify construction requirements, and avoid potential liabilities that could arise from not having clear and complete set of project requirements. It will present methods for effectively specifying commercial interiors. There are important advantages to owners and building occupants from sustainable design and construction. Optimizing energy efficiency, reducing water use, incorporating sustainable building products, and assuring optimal indoor environmental quality are among those benefits. - The second part of the seminar, presented by Kelly Ingalls and Laurie Johnson, will focus on how owners, commercial designers, and others can develop a set of Sustainable Tenant Improvement Guidelines that include owner project requirements for sustainable commercial interiors projects. Sample Sustainable Tenant Guidelines will be presented, based on the case study for 260 Homer Avenue, a recently completed LEED Core and Shell (LEED-CS) Gold project in Palo Alto, CA. Laurie Johnson will present a study of how those guidelines were adapted for the LEED for Commercial Interiors (LEED-CI 2009) project for the tenant improvements at 260 Homer Avenue.

New race format to be contested in 2022 at Nowra Speedway. A standalone Australian Motocross Invitational event to be hosted at Nowra Speedway will be headlined by ‘MotoX Skins’, the invitation-only format scheduled for 19 February. MotoX Skins will feature 15 riders in MX1 and MX2, as well as 10 riders in MX3 competing in a unique short course, round robin race format. The top five riders will advance to the final shootout, with $20,000 in prize money on offer. Confirmed to be competing is current Australian ProMX champion Luke Clout (CDR Yamaha Monster Energy), who will relish the opportunity to get further gate-drops in before next season after missing essential seat time in the covid-enforced break. “The timing for MotoX Skins is great, it allows us valuable competition seat time prior to the ProMX Championships,” Clout explained. “Having the opportunity to race in front of solid crowds with an exciting race format will be fun. CDR Yamaha Monster Energy will be bringing our full factory set-up, so we look forward to meeting the fans and gaining great exposure for our sponsors.” The Australian Motocross Invitational, itself being two days between 19-20 February, will see on day two the MotoX Future Stars hit the short course motocross track, featuring some of Australia’s best juniors, women and amateurs in a variety of classes. Fans will also see Monster Truck Madness and a demolition derby, in addition to trade displays, industry activations, rider signings and much more on hand. Support classes and additional information will be released in coming weeks, for more information including ticket sales visit www.mapevents.com.au.

Employment rates are better this year, which means fresh graduate are expected to have better opportunities of securing a job. I wonder though, how many will take their internship seriously? How many will show up expecting three easy months of coffee-fetching and copy-making work? A research from Challenger, Gray and Christmas, a Chicago-based recruitment firm, states that only 1 in 4 companies plan to hire full-time employees from this year’s interns. Yes, the employment market is better but it’s still a tough competition overall. So go ahead, you can continue treating your summer job as an extension of your college life – or you can treat it like the serious competition it is. Convinced yet? Here are 4 other reasons to treat your summer job like a real professional job: - Your First Boss will Serve as the First Employer Reference in Your Resume. Yes you can use a college professor as a reference, but it doesn’t have the same credibility as an employer reference. Even if your summer job isn’t related to your target career path, it still counts as work experience. And since you’re a fresh graduate with barely anything to put on his resume, you’re in no position to be picky! - Boring Tasks are Critical Training. Remember the wash-in, wash-out routine at the Karate Kid movie? The kid playing the lead role got bored quickly because it wasn’t related to karate. Well, you know how the rest of the movie goes. It’s just like that with boring tasks in your summer job or internship. Boring tasks are easy but they teach you to be patient, focused and keen to details. Remember you’re an intern, who hasn’t proven himself capable of challenging assignments yet. Menial tasks are assigned to you to test your attitude. You can’t get more challenging assignments until you learn how to do menial tasks perfectly, without grumbling or complaining. - Summer Jobs Build Soft Skills Transferable to Different Industries. Summer jobs and internships will teach you critical skills you need for any line of work, such as communication, writing, customer service, critical thinking and sales. - Your First Boss and Teammates will Form Your First-ever Professional Network. Even if you’re working as a fast food crew when all you want to do is work as a hedge fund manager, the people you meet could play a part in your career later on. Did you know that many CEOs were once pizza delivery guys? Remember, you never know where your colleagues and boss might end up working after that job, so treat them well. Whatever you do, don’t treat your summer job and internship as an easy means to get allowance money. Do your best and value the experience and connections you make.

Score from 142 reviews Excellent Located in Tripiti of Milos, the Cycladic-style Chaido Studios features a fragrant garden and a sun terrace with panoramic views over the Aegean Sea. Score from 60 reviews Exceptional October 20, 2014 The apartment was clean, tidy, well equipped and comfortable, with more than adequate space for the two of us. More notable, however, was the service from the hostess/proprietor. She could not have been more accommodating, understanding and forgiving (particularly after I accidentally destroyed the coffee maker!). On the first day, she even asked us to write out a list of groceries that we wanted, which she duly went in to town on her scooter to pick up, returning for us a while later. Best service of our 8 island tour of the Cyclades! October 18, 2014 Rooms are dated and three of our four rooms had terraces with no privacy at all, and no view. The "one bedroom apartment for four people" had two bunk beds in the small kitchen. It is not in Plaka as described, but in Mati, about 20 mins walk from Plaka and same distance from the nearest grocery store. It's best to have a car to explore Milos. Spacious rooms in quiet area. Friendly cleaning lady who tried hard to make us feel welcome, despite her minimal English and our non-existent Greek! October 18, 2014 The location was beautiful, right in a small village atmosphere overlooking the bay, sea and mountains. The very reasonably-priced room was spacious and spotless. with a veranda, free wi-fi and a nice kitchen with a coffeemaker and a refrigerator. Moschoula, (I hope I got the spelling correct!) the owner, was so very nice and friendly and incredibly helpful with information, taxis, scooter rentals, you name it. I would go back in heartbeat. October 18, 2014 Great owner, good location, quiet, well-kept, with a smashing view of the sea. September 23, 2014 The studio is spacious and very quiet. It is also very clean. The host is a very kind lady. September 19, 2014 Definitely need your own transport - it's in Trypiti and it'll be a bit of a walk if you're taking the bus. The shower is over the toilet although there's a shower curtain - tendency to get a bit wet after you shower no matter how careful you are, but not a big deal unless you're picky! TV also quite small but not a big deal at all as the view outside is much nicer. Beautiful balcony view to the sea, nice and quiet and romantic in the evenings - definitely catch the sunset from your room! The kitchenettes have basic cookware, dishes, glasses and mugs, we made breakfast each morning and dinner every evening, no problem. We also had a coffeemaker, and two stoves. No microwave, but we were fine without. The AC worked really well and the room was very spacious and beautifully decorated. All in all very comfortable and amazing value for money. Moschoula was very kind to us as well and picked us up and dropped us off at the beginning/end of our stay, and even helped us arrange our quad bike rental. Would definitely stay here again if visiting Milos again. September 18, 2014 We loved the wonderful view from the terrace. We were made very welcome. Everything was absolutely charming: the terrace, walking around the village of Tripiti, walking up to the castle in Plaka for sunset. We would definitely go back! August 28, 2014 Position with sea view, nice room, very friendly owner, close to everything and calm at same time, balcony and terrace. Needs a car to be reached August 7, 2014 was a bit worried that it was tricky to get to without hiring a car but it wasn't a problem. It seemed a bit out of the way at first - bit tricky to get to but it was totally gorgeous and homely. Had pictures on walls and flowers! Kids loved bunk beds. The owner was amazingly helpful despite her limited English. Gave us homemade jam and a basket of homegrown tomatoes, supplied us with bread, croissants and milk. A lovely beach - Klima- that was a 800m walk away but was used by locals and surrounded by fishermans huts. One restaurant and hotel that did amazing eggplant salad by the beach, of which had a stone jetty that our boys and locals spent much time jumping off. Our favorite place in the Cyclades. a free minibus runs from Plaka to Klima beach which helped alleviate an uphill walk in the heat! Plaka lovely too, great atmosphere at night. July 29, 2014 The location, cleanliness, the size of the apartment, the quietness of the place, the kindness of the people. July 22, 2014 It is at the bottom of a fairly steep street which is no bother to me but some might find the walk a bit strenuous. It's best to have transport here, as it is on the the rest of the island. I have no problem recommending these rooms. I had a pleasant stay there in a large studio with a pleasant view of the valley above Klima. It's not far to a few good restaurants and bars and at the same time you're practically in the countryside. June 29, 2014 Very friendly and very clean June 15, 2014 No negatives ! Very clean spacious suite of rooms . Although we were only there one night,Moschoula after us beautifully. Excellent quiet location with views to the sea but not far from the main town/ port , for those with transport . June 11, 2014 The shower faucet was not attached to the wall so you had to hold it. Not easy to use. Loved Milos, and this place is a quick walk to tavernas and Plaka. The woman who runs it is very kind, although there was some communication barrier. June 3, 2014 Really beautiful and clean apartment, with nice view over sea and hills, fully equipped with everything you need. Very very friendly and nice owners and housekeepers. It's in a quiet part of the town, so you can have plenty of rest and enjoy in your stay. Town center is pretty close, Plaka also. There is a road from apartment to the beaches (roads everywhere in towns are little narrow, but when you get used to it it's ok, just need to be careful when driving) May 29, 2014 It's quite hard to get to get to, far (7km) from beaches and port. There were no buses in May (there are in the summer), but with a car it's ok - if you can drive on the very narrow streets! Consider a scooter or an ATV. But if you're ok with driving, very good choice! We had no problems, altough don't try to go to Paliorema beach/mines with a car - it's a VERY bad road! Other beaches we visited were easy to get to. Very nice studios in a beautiful little village. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. They ordered a taxi from port (10€), got us a car to rent (for 20€/day), cleaned our dishes and even gave chocolate when we left. It's a very quiet place where it's easy to rest. Very good for the price! And Milos was a very nice island with many different kinds of beaches, our favourite! You must see Sarakiniko beach! May 22, 2014 everything was perfect.. May 12, 2014 The lady there is an absolute gem, very friendly and always willing to help and try and make your stay more comfortable. Located in a very quite and beautiful little town, ideal if you want some peace and quite. We've negotiated with thousands of hotels to get the very best deals.

The opinion of the court was delivered by: MILTON I. SHADUR On November 16, 1993 this Court issued a self-explanatory memorandum order in connection with the motions for summary judgment that had previously been filed under Fed.R.Civ.P. ("Rule") 56 by defendants Inland Property Management, Inc. ("Inland") and Joyce Levin ("Levin"). At that time counsel for plaintiffs Bettye and Reginald Yeatman ("Yeatmans") were delinquent in meeting the briefing schedule that counsel for all parties had established for themselves on the Inland-Levin motions, even as that schedule had later been modified to accommodate an extension requested by Yeatmans' counsel. Because that delinquency entitled this Court to proceed with its resolution of the motions, this Court had then drafted its opinion (the "Opinion") dealing with the motions. That sequence of events resulted in an unusual situation in which, by reason of the distribution of the draft Opinion to the litigants, Yeatmans (the parties that would have lost the case on the basis of the evidence then before this Court) knew exactly what matters this Court considered to be dispositive of the issues. It did not then exactly come as a total surprise when, nearly a month later, Yeatmans filed a response to the Rule 56 motions that sought to create material issues of fact in the critical areas that had been identified in the Opinion--issues that Yeatmans hoped would be enough to stave off summary judgment. Again not surprisingly, Inland then sought and obtained from this Court some added time to pursue additional discovery--mainly the supplemental deposition of Mrs. Yeatman on matters that had been raised in Yeatmans' responsive materials. At this point the motions have become fully briefed and are ripe for decision. After full review this Court has concluded that the things that have been advanced by Yeatmans do not rise to the level of genuine issues of material fact (despite their counsel's valiant efforts to contend otherwise). For that purpose it will be remembered that a "genuine" issue does not exist unless record evidence would permit a reasonable factfinder to adopt the nonmovants' (Yeatmans') view ( Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 249, 91 L. Ed. 2d 202, 106 S. Ct. 2505 (1986)), while only facts that would prove outcome-determinative under the substantive law are "material" ( Pritchard v. Rainfair, Inc., 945 F.2d 185, 191 (7th Cir. 1991)). Because the Opinion had accurately reflected this Court's views based on the evidence then before it, the current discussion will proceed from the Opinion as a starting point. All that is then required is to explain why the later input from Yeatmans, although it does pose some facial disputes as to facts, does not call for any change in the result. As the Opinion shows (and as the parties agree), the key issue in this case is whether the clearly bias-exhibiting telephone call that someone made to Mrs. Yeatman (a call that included both the caller's inquiry as to Mrs. Yeatman's color and the caller's statement that Country Club Apartments in Arlington Heights "do not rent to blacks") was or was not placed by Joyce Levin. That had been the name by which the caller identified herself (though importantly for current purposes, when Mrs. Yeatman asked for her name the caller misspelled the last name "L-E-V-E-N"). Opinion at 3-5 spelled out in detail why all of the objective evidence before this Court compelled a "no" answer to the question whether the caller was really defendant Joyce Levin. What Yeatmans' counsel have now done by way of response was triggered by this paragraph in the Opinion (at page 2): 1. Mrs. Yeatman was unable to authenticate the identity of the caller so as to render her account of the contents of the telephone conversation admissible (Fed. R. Evid. 901(a) and 901(b)(5)). She could not identify Levin's voice, and she said at her own deposition that she did not know if she would recognize the caller's voice if she heard it again. Now Mrs. Yeatman says--although her earlier sworn testimony (Dep. 49-50) had been that she didn't know whether she could recognize the caller's voice, having had only a single brief conversation with the caller fully three years ago--that she can indeed identify Joyce Levin as the caller. 1. Rule 56(e) limits the court's consideration of evidence to matters that would be admissible if this were a trial rather than a Rule 56 motion. 2. In any event, courts are not obliged to credit everything that a party proffers in response to a Rule 56 motion. Admissibility of Mrs. Yeatman's Current Testimony Voice identification is a means of introducing into evidence the contents of a telephone conversation (assuming that all other requirements of admissibility are met). Both common sense and experience teach that such identification--based as it is on an aural perception obtained over the telephone wires rather than in person--is ordinarily more difficult to make, and is less reliable, than eyewitness identification. If anything, then, this opinion gives Yeatmans (as the proponents of such evidence) a considerable benefit of the doubt when it applies the accepted tests for admissibility of eyewitness identification to Mrs. Yeatman's purported telephone voice identification of Levin. Nonetheless this Court will proceed to do just that. As for the admissibility of eyewitness identification, the seminal decisions remain Neil v. Biggers, 409 U.S. 188, 34 L. Ed. 2d 401, 93 S. Ct. 375 (1972) and Manson v. Brathwaite, 432 U.S. 98, 53 L. Ed. 2d 140, 97 S. Ct. 2243 (1977). Under those cases, which applied a constitutional test to determine whether evidence of that nature should be admitted or excluded, the first inquiry is whether an impermissibly suggestive procedure was used in obtaining the out-of-court identification ( Neil, 409 U.S. at 199). If the result of that inquiry is that the procedure has failed the suggestiveness test, the key inquiry then becomes whether the identification is nonetheless reliable--as Manson, 432 U.S. at 114 put it in the criminal justice context: We therefore conclude that reliability is the linchpin in determining the admissibility of identification testimony for both pre- and post-Stovall confrontations. The factors to be considered are set out in Biggers. 409 U.S. at 199-200. These include the opportunity of the witness to view the criminal at the time of the crime, the witness' degree of attention, the accuracy of his prior description of the criminal, the level of certainty demonstrated at the confrontation, and the time between the ...

The country is in revolt, the capital city is besieged and any victory will be hard won. But the Red Knight has a plan. The question is can he negotiate the political, magical, real and romantic battlefields at the same time - especially when intends to be victorious on them all?

The plot thickens Who was your favorite character and why? Too many to single out just one, as the minor ones to the major ones have a role to play Which scene did you most enjoy? Where a young mage discovers his powers for the first time and as a result a miscreant becomes rather crispy Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? laugh at times Any additional comments? The plot thickens as they say. The Red Knight is back and what a welcome return it is, along with his company of honorable and not so honorable knights and hangers on. This time rather than fighting the wild (monsters to you and me) they are employed to rescue the Emperor of a faded empire. So there is betrayal, assassins, spies, explosions and dark deeds aplenty. Of course that is just part of the story as while this is going on, other events are fueling the bigger story and new players emerge with their own agenda. Just to whet appetite there is more violence, magic, skullduggery, betrayals on many levels from kings and queens downwards to peasant rebel soliders turning on their own. All created with an eye for detail that shows the writer's undoubted knowledge of the medieval time period. Now while this is a fantastic fantasy it is clearly built taking influences from French chivalric knights good, bad and down right crazy, Scottish Highlanders, Vikings as royal guards, Native American Indians to Eastern steppe horseman. At times the pace slows a little but in the right places as a book of this size needs a breather in places so again more praise for such a good writer as if it was battle after battle things would get boring. Unlike many writers Cameron is not scared to kill his major characters off and the main one seems to spend a lot of his time damaged in way or another..One person who I think will have a huge part to play is the mysterious "Mr Smythe" bit of a spoiler alert that sorry.

The occasional bad simile, but in a tale of this size it's almost bound to happen.

Lynda and Marcia are fans of the old Western movies – John Wayne, Clint Eastwood (Marcia just calls them The Duke and Clint, of course.) In their opinion, you can’t really call yourself a true “cow-person” (wanna-be) unless you’ve eaten jerky and tried riding a horse. “Tried” being the operative word in their case, but that’s another story. Marcia had always wondered what real jerky tasted like; the kind that The Duke would eat if he were wrangling on a ranch today. It just didn’t seem that the different kinds of jerky that she was buying from the grocery store met her imagination’s idea of “real jerky.” So they decided to figure it out on their own. Lynda & Marcia purchased a dehydrator and started the experimentation process. They decided that it was very important to create a jerky that was as natural as could be and as healthy as possible – sparing no expense in using the leanest cuts, the lowest fat in the ground meats, and only the necessary amount of preservatives in anything they did. They also decided that everything should be homemade in their own kitchen. This was a very time consuming adventure, and as they went along experimenting, they shared our discoveries with neighbors, friends, and work associates. Their discoveries included gourmet jerky, not limited to the traditional “beef jerky.” Some of their noted discoveries have been super spicy jerky such as their jalapeno and habanero jerky. Their wild meat jerky, black angus beef jerky, jerky links, and turkey jerky with pepperoni are now amongst some of their best sellers. So you see, after awhile, Lynda and Marcia found themselves filling request orders. Yes, folks, their dream has come to pass. Seems these two ladies had finally discovered the jerky that matched their image of the old West. And people liked it. Hence, “Do The Jerk-ey!” was born. Of course, not everyone likes jerky, or can eat jerky for one reason or another. So, Lynda began experimenting with other things such as trail mix, cranberries, chocolate, cashews, non-salted items, and the raisin/grape varities – which require no preservatives at all. Today “Do The Jerk-ey” LLC Jerky Company can still be found at farmer’s markets, wine festivals, and fairs all around Virginia peddling their premium quality jerky and healthy snacks and treats. “We are very satisfied with the products that we sell here at “Do The Jerk-ey!” We guess all that time spent watching those old Western movies has finally come full circle. As we ride off into the sunset (or try to ride off into the sunset) to make some more jerky for you, we leave you with this: Thank you for visiting our kitchen where we put a little heart, a little soul, and a lot of taste into everything we make. Now come back, ya’ll. We hope to see you dancing very soon” – Sincerely, Lynda & Marcia

Electrical power transformer is widely used in power systems to raise or lower voltages and is important electrical equipment that is indispensable in power systems. Although the modern production of transformers has made breakthroughs in various technical materials, the structure is relatively reliable, but equivalent to transmission lines and generators, the probability of transformer failure is relatively large. Once the transformer fails, there will be serious consequences of a large power outage and a long cycle. Therefore, an annual preventive test is particularly important. In order to ensure the safe and continuous power supply of the power system, and to minimize the faults and abnormal conditions, a series of transformer preventive tests should be done in advance according to the capacity and importance of the electrical power transformer , so as to prevent the failure of the transformer in time. 1. Winding insulation resistance and absorption ratio test The main diagnostic transformer can be sensitive to the overall insulation of the transformer insulation due to the effects of machinery, power plant, temperature, chemistry, etc. The overall deterioration and insulation penetration defects are one of the important references for the transformer to be put into operation. We generally use an insulation resistance tester to detect. When measuring, the transformer should be shorted by the lead end of the side coil, and the lead end that is not tested should be grounded. By measuring the insulation resistance of the transformer, it is possible to find the defects of the continuity of the transformer, and the whole is damp and dirty. 2. Measurement of winding DC resistance Tests that primarily diagnose winding insulation and current loop connections can reflect winding weld quality, such as winding turn-to-turn shorts, winding breaks, or tap-changers and poor wire contact. In fact, it is also an effective means to judge whether various DC electrons are balanced and whether the voltage regulating switch is correct. We generally use a transformer DC resistance tester to detect some major defects in the transformer circuit. 3. Insulating oil test In transformers, insulating oil is the primary insulation and cooling medium. The quality of the oil directly affects the insulation performance and life of the overall transformer. We generally use the insulating oil dielectric strength tester calibration device to test the electrical strength of the insulating oil. The main factor affecting the electrical strength of insulating oil is the moisture and impurities contained in the oil. In our experiment, the distance between the electrodes was adjusted. The oil cup and the electrode were rinsed two or three times with the test oil, and the test oil was injected into the oil cup and allowed to stand for 10 minutes. Then pressurize at a constant speed and record the breakdown voltage. Repeat five times, take the average, and comprehensively find some faults that are difficult to find inside or part of the transformer. 4. Measuring dielectric loss factor tgD It is mainly used to check the overall deterioration of the transformer oil quality, the adhesion of sludge on the windings and serious local defects. Media measurements are often affected by surface leaks and external conditions such as interference with electric fields and atmospheric conditions, so measures are taken to reduce and eliminate the effects. At the site we generally measure the tgD along with the casing, but in order to improve the accuracy of the measurement and the sensitivity of detecting defects, we use the inter-frequency automatic dielectric loss test to determine the location of the defect. Remember to do a preventive experiment on your electrical power transformer!

The other day a client described her goal to me as her “personal Everest” and I’ve been thinking of it ever since. So many of us have big dreams that seem impossible to accomplish. And it’s easy to feel discouraged when you’re staring at a massive, seemingly insurmountable mountain like Everest. I can’t even imagine how the first person to scale it felt! But like any other walk, they took it one step at a time. The magic in proper goal setting is that it can help break any Everest into a walk up your local hill. Planning towards these smaller goals makes it easier to formulate a definite plan of action that gets you moving straight away. Research also shows that accomplishing smaller milestones keeps the motivation and contentment high. Meaning that you’ll have more fuel to keep climbing. Chunk your goals down So how can you apply this analogy to your life right now? I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again, chunk your big goals and tasks down. Trust me, you’ll be happier and more motivated to start working towards that next milestone with a smile on your face rather than a huge sigh and before you know it – you’ll be on top of Everest!

STIP, Students of Technology In Politics, is a local political party in Delft. Founded in 1993, STIP is entirely run by students with six seats on the city council. Although the party is run by students, most of them studying at Delft University of Technology, it is refrains from being a one-issue party. It is a party for all inhabitants of Delft and gives "a young view at an old city". Are you elegible to vote? The Dutch Municipal Elections are on March 21st 2018. If you are a resident of the city Delft and your country of origin is a member of the European Union(EU), you are elegible to vote. If you're from outside of the EU you are elegible to vote if you've been residing in the Netherlands for over 5 years. Check out canivote.nl What does STIP want? Read our English leaflet here! At local politics there is no need for left-wing or right-wing, STIP has a pro-active stance on issues and treats every problem with a pragmatic view. Our key political points are: - Economic growth through innovation: Strengthen Delft as a city of Technology by developing a good relation with the TU as well as regional partners, invest in concepts such as YES!Delft (technology start-up incubator), Bacinol and Technopolis. - An attractive cultural Delft: where the lovely inner city as well as festival area Lijm & Cultuur are used for events, concerts and festivals for the whole city and the cities around Delft. A city with a lively cultural scene with a mix of history and innovation will be more attractive for people to live in, and also to visit. - A balanced housing market: Sufficient housing for students, starters and expats. Thanks to STIP 3600 new student houses where built in the last 4 years. This where complexes such as X-ray (Röntgenweg) and at the Rotterdamseweg. But also at the Stieltjesweg and by allowing students to create their own housing in old office buildings (Aan 't Verlaat) where students can live together with shared facilities. - Invest in durable and green technology: Stimulate citizens in making their houses more durable by taking away the rules restraining them. Use the technology from the TU for large project such as geothermal energy, and allow the Green Village to easily test their new concepts. - Improve cycling in Delft: By having good cycling paths through the city, and enough parking spaces at the station as well as the inner city to make Delft more easily reachable. - Improve government service: By allowing more services to be done online as well as offering services in different languages. Furthermore, the parking officers should be hosts of this city rather than ticket officers. In 1993, a group of students at Delft University ran into some problems which they could not solve themselves. Most of these problems were the result of the bad relationship between the university and the city of Delft. For instance, the city at first prevented the building of the new university library; public transportation to the university was scaled down time after time; and most importantly, there was a large shortage in student housing. In an attempt to solve these problems, the group of students audaciously founded STIP and ran in their first election in 1994. In this election, STIP immediately won one seat in the city council. This was unique for a local party, especially one run by students. In the next four years, STIP proved they were a serious party, and this was rewarded in 1998, when STIP gained one seat in the council. After the '98 elections, STIP joined the coalition and provided an alderman. In 2002, STIP again won an extra seat, bringing the total to three, and joined the coalition. In this period, the STIP alderman was in charge of the Delft treasury. In 2006, STIP won two seats, and remains in the coalition with two councillors and a new alderwoman, Lian Merkx. Lian is in charge of cultural and environmental policy in Delft, and also responsible for YES!Delft and Bacinol. In 2010, STIP again won three seats and still remains in the coalition with a new alderman: Pieter Guldemond. He was in charge of Spatial Planning, Knowledge Economy, City Marketing and Student Housing. He was also responsible for Technopolis, TIC-Delft, the Schieoevers (a creative area in Delft), the TU-area and the Water Centre. In 2014, STIP won 4 seats and became the second largest party in Delft. It still remains in the coalition with a new alderman, and former city council-member Ferrie Förster. He is in charge of the local economy, culture and spatial planning.

Cesar Comanche and 9th Wonder first met in 1996 and founded the collective eighteen months later. Little Brother's former road manager, Big Dho, founded the Hall of Justus music group in 2003, which provides an outlet for the artists in the collective. Releases by the collective have been released under the Hall of Justus name, including the Soldiers of Fortune compilation in 2006. The collective seems to have splintered, as internal conflicts have led to the breakup of groups (for example, Little Brother) and general dissent within the Justus League. Also individual members have stated that the time of this collective has passed and that they have moved on, according to Chaundon in an online interview. Several members are still with 'Hall Of Justus, however the rest of the crew seems to have left and are pursuing separate musical endeavors. Following the death of King Æthelberht of Kent in 616, Justus was forced to flee to Gaul, but was reinstated in his diocese the following year. In 624 Justus became Archbishop of Canterbury, overseeing the despatch of missionaries to Northumbria. After his death he was revered as a saint, and had a shrine in St Augustine's Abbey, Canterbury. Arrival in Britain Justus was an Italian and a member of the Gregorian mission sent to England by Pope GregoryI. Almost everything known about Justus and his career is derived from the early 8th-century Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum of Bede. As Bede does not describe Justus' origins, nothing is known about him prior to his arrival in England. He probably arrived in England with the second group of missionaries, sent at the request of Augustine of Canterbury in 601. Some modern writers describe Justus as one of the original missionaries who arrived with Augustine in 597, but Bede believed that Justus came in the second group. The second group included Mellitus, who later became Bishop of London and Archbishop of Canterbury.

Editor's note: The VTDigger video by Cory Dawson explains how the new small business investment rules work. MONTPELIER -- The state wants to make it easier for Vermonters to invest in local businesses. Individuals can invest up to $10,000 in a registered Vermont business offering, or more if they can demonstrate a high net worth. Companies can raise up to $2 million in stock equity, or $1 million if they don't have audited financial statements. In-state securities regulations allows Vermont companies to sell stock in their operations - but only to Vermonters. Like the stock market, firms can raise money they need in order to grow, and residents can invest in enterprises they find promising. But several provisions make the Vermont Small Business Offering Exemption, or VSBOE, unique among other securities. Keeping the transactions in state borders allows Vermont companies and residents to bypass complex federal securities laws associated with public offerings and stock exchanges. "The stock market can be daunting," said Susan Donegan, commissioner of the Department of Financial Regulation. "Or, for whatever their personal reasons, some people just don't want to go to Wall Street." Vermont and many other states have had small business offering exemptions on the books for years. What worked for Ben & Jerry's back in the 1980s, and later Earth's Best baby food and Catamount Brewery, no longer fit the cost of growing a business, she said. "We had maybe 14 exemptions on the old regulation," Donegan said. "It wasn't flexible enough. It didn't allow them to raise enough money. It was not a useful regulation." Vermont was late to update its small business offering exemption, Donegan says. Other states revamped their parallel exemptions a decade ago. But in catching up, state regulators surpassed others in the key area of general solicitations, according to Eli Moulton, an attorney with the Burlington-based financial law firm Merritt & Merritt & Moulton. Vermont's law allows businesses to openly advertise to non-accredited investors - people who aren't required to prove the value of their assets in order to invest. "You can put stuff up on Facebook, on a website, at a restaurant on takeaway cards," Moulton said. Most other securities laws at the federal and state level prohibit general solicitations. In those cases, if a firm wants investors, company representatives can only reach out personally to people they know are eligible to invest. But by strictly limiting the exempted transactions to Vermont businesses selling stock to Vermont residents, Donegan's office steers clear of those restrictions. The result: Even non-accredited investors can play the game. "It cuts both ways," Moulton said. People who may not have a lot of money to spend could lose what they risk, he said. "But from a fairness perspective, it means early stage investment opportunities are opened up not just to high net-worth individuals," Moulton said. That's part of what financial consultant Cairn Cross thinks is most interesting about the new VSBOE. Cross is co-founder of the venture capital firm Fresh Tracks Capital, based in Shelburne. "The Main Street Vermont investor has had difficulty participating in private offerings," Cross said. "They simply don't get invited. They don't have a way to gain access to that (opportunity)." For a Vermont company with good brand recognition, he said, the combination of general solicitations with non-accredited investors could line up "some powerful matches." The modernized rules, which took effect June 16, involve a few other key changes, Donegan said. Previously, the amount of money a business could raise was capped at $500,000, and there were limits to the number of Vermonters that could come from. Donegan said the revisions also streamline the process for businesses wanting to register securities with her office. Even companies without audited financial statements potentially can get through the process in a couple months, she said, while still maintaining consumer protections. How it works The first business to avail itself of the revision defies the standard profile of a company likely to use it. Fred Martin of Village Builders in Wolcott is using the new investment program. Photo by Cory Dawson/VTDigger Village Builders of Wolcott will sell shares for $500 each to raise $1 million. The money will fund renovations of a five-unit house in Hardwick. Owners Fred and Sally Martin may also purchase more land, buy construction materials and equipment and build another single-family home. "They're seeing growth," Donegan said. "Now it's time for expansion." Typically, she said, businesses willing to relinquish ownership for the sake of capital are lighter on physical collateral. Their most valuable asset - intellectual property - can't be put on the line to secure a bank loan, for example. That's why they look for alternative ways to raise the money they need to get started or grow. Moulton said he expects to see the exemption used most in sectors where Vermont entrepreneurialism is seeing the fastest growth: so-called "green tech" businesses, speciality food producers and restaurants. But more than industry or sector, Moulton said companies will self-select for participation with VSBOE based on their financial needs and administrative capacity. "Even when we do offerings with 30 or 40 investors, it's a fair amount of work," Moulton said. Maintaining communications with shareholders and keeping up with securities paperwork - even in-state securities - is heavy on paperwork. He said electronic platforms are being developed to lighten the administrative load, but it remains to be seen whether they can be scaled down effectively for affordable use by small businesses. The other major consideration for companies considering VSBOE, said Cross, is whether or not they really want to relinquish control. "You are now joined at the hip with these other investors, and they have rights under state law and they have concerns, and you have an obligation to them as an entrepreneur to preserve their capital, do the right thing with it, and make them money," he said. Donegan said the local nature of the transaction offers no guarantees for investors. "Investments are always at risk," she said. "There is no such thing as a guarantee in the stock market. And this is basically the stock market." She said that's why companies are required to explain their risks to potential investors, and why it's essential for investors to risk their hard-earned money carefully.

Thirty years ago, Lafayette advanced to the state semifinals and eventually went on to become the at-large state champions. That year, 1985, was the Generals last appearance in the state semifinals. Not anymore. Lafayette overcame a few mistakes early and generated nearly 500 yards of offense to defeat Scott County, 36-30, and compete for a chance to go to Bowling Green next week at Simon Kenton. The Generals defeated Scott County for the first time since 2009. That streak included a 65-46 loss in this regular season in which the Cardinals generated more than 500 yards on the ground. They were held to 308 in this one. Never miss a local story. “It means a lot to beat the Dallas Cowboys of Kentucky,” said sophomore receiver Dekwan Edwards, who caught a 42-yard TD to send the Generals into halftime trailing 16-14. Lafayette were behind most of the first half and didn’t have a lead until junior quarterback Walker Wood rushed in from 17 yards out to put the the Generals up 21-16 with 6:11 left in the third quarter. Scott County would never lead again. The Generals forced two empty Cardinals possessions then took over again at the start of the fourth quarter. Wood rushed for a short gain and then got it to Matthew Guilfoil to set up third and three from Lafayette’s own 11-yard line. That’s when Mason Alstatt, a Wofford commit who’s been the Generals’ biggest playmaker all year, busted loose for an 89-yard TD to put Lafayette up 28-16 early in the fourth. “Our running backs have been working on patience just throughout the year,” Alstatt said when asked about his huge play. “I waited for the hole to open cause I knew it was gonna come. We’ve got one of the best lines in the state. I just hit it.” Scott County answered with a three-minute drive which ended in Noah Hughes’ second of three TDs in the game. It means a lot to beat the Dallas Cowboys of Kentucky. Dekwan Edwards, Lafayette receiver Lafayette countered with an 80-yard TD drive, the score again courtesy of Alstatt. But the most pivotal play came midway through the drive, when on 4th and 12 from his own 36, Wood completed a 60-yard scorcher to Daquis Sharp to put the Generals deep in the red zone. Wood got in on a fake PAT to put the Generals up 36-23 with 2:17 remaining. “We’ve prepared all week and when we came out we played our butts off,” Wood said. “We got some luck here and there and we started rolling and got the momentum.” Hughes’ third TD got the Cardinals within six with 1:22 left but they failed to recover an onside kick attempt. “I can’t explain how happy I am about this game,” said senior lineman Landon Young, who in addition to Wood is a University of Kentucky commit. “ ... This is one of the ultimate goals that I’ve wanted to do all through high school. Scott County’s always been our big rival ever since Lexington Catholic didn’t play the city schools anymore ... so we came out tasting blood.” After Lafayette struggled against Henry Clay last week and was down 21-7 to Paul Laurence Dunbar in the final quarter of their first-round game, many predicted a Scott County win, especially after the Cardinals’ regular-season gashing. Lafayette opened the night with a strong drive but Scott County came up with a botched snap in the red zone and capitalized with a Hughes’ first TD run on the other end. Another bad snap on the Generals' second possession forced them to punt from their own goal line and put Scott in good scoring position. Keith Guy got tackled at Lafayette's 2-yard line on a 30-yard run before the Generals forced negative yardage on the next set of downs. Scott County connected on a field goal as the second quarter began to go up 9-0. “God is good,” Lafayette Coach Eric Shaw said. “These kids have worked their behinds off. ... We never stopped believing that we could win a big game.” Lafayette 36, Scott Co. 30 SC—Hughes 6 run (kick failed); SC—FG Dummer 26; LF—Wood 9 run (Duprey kick); SC—Smith 17 run (Dummer kick); LF—Edwards 42 pass from Wood (Brown pass from Wood); LF—Wood 17 run (Duprey kick); LF—Alstatt 89 run (Duprey kick); SC—Hughes 4 run (Dummer kick); LF—Alstatt 6 run (Wood run); SC—Hughes 6 run (Dummer kick). Records: Lafayette 11-2, Scott Co. 11-2.

Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, was selected as one of the 19 U.S. universities and colleges to participate in the 2012 Brazil Initiative of the Institute of International Education International Academic Partnership Program (IAPP). The IAPP is funded by the U.S. Department of Education. The program is designed to support U.S. universities in deepening and broadening their relationships with universities in a single country. Rutgers' participation in IAPP-Brazil stems from the university’s long history of collaboration with Brazilian institutions of higher education. Over the years, faculty have established close partnerships with universities in Brazil through joint research projects, study abroad, and undergraduate and scholarly exchanges; Rutgers has been collaborating with some of its current partners for many decades. Since the 1970’s, the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences (SEBS) has taken part in FIPSE-CAPES undergraduate exchanges in biotechnology with the University of Sao Paulo. Graduate students in Plant Biology and Biotechnology can participate in a Tripartite Graduate Program between USP, Rutgers, and Ohio State University, or the NSF Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) that focuses on developing renewable and sustainable fuel. Rutgers faculty collaborate with Brazilian universities in numerous disciplines, from childhood studies to public health, social work, art history, mathematics, and engineering, and offer a wide variety of relevant courses through the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, Department of Latino and Hispanic Caribbean Studies, and the Center for Latin American Studies.

OIL BUBBLE?….Is the recent rise in oil prices a speculative bubble? Via Mark Thoma, economist Jim Hamilton tackles that question here. Shorter Hamilton: if you think it’s a bubble, what makes you so sure you know what the price should really be? But read the whole thing for a bit more detail. UPDATE: Alternate theory: the market is afraid that Obama will win the presidential election and this will send George Bush into a frenzy of military activity. Thus, prices are up.

This is the time of year that children start asking questions. “How could one man travel the world in one night?” “Reindeer cannot fly, can they?” “Does magic really exist?” Much of the non-religious world also asks questions about the seemingly impossible. “How could God be a baby?” “No man can walk on water, can they?” “Does God really exist?” All of us often have questions. We are plagued with misinformation, lack of information, or sometimes even true information we cannot understand. What do you do when you have an unanswered question? Investigate—When we don’t know, we should do the work of learning. We should not waver from our desire to understand that about which we are ignorant. We should only be satisfied after a thorough investigation. Ask Those In the Know—This is often what children do. When they have questions, they ask their parents, teacher, or some other authority figure. This is a great option. If there is someone who you think has answers to your questions, ask them. Make Conclusions on Facts—Too often, when someone has a question, they will just assume and not actually investigate facts. We should be careful to make our conclusion, to find our answers, to sate our curiosity with facts, and not conjecture. While there are appropriate responses to find answers to our questions, there are also inappropriate actions: Guessing—When all we do is guess, we do not satisfy our curiosity, nor can we put to rest our inquiry. This means that we will continue to talk about what we don’t know, and we will never understand. Fabricating—Often when children have questions, we will fabricate answers for them instead of researching honest answers. While there is little harm in this situation, false answers can lead to many evils in the adult world. We must be careful to deal with truth and not be satisfied with lies. Gossip—Unanswered questions are breeding grounds for gossip if we are not careful. People often speak where they do not know as if they are authorities and this is how misinformation is propagated. How often are articles passed around Facebook as if they are truth while they are complete error? We must be careful to be dealers of truth. We must be cautious that people are not hurt in our pursuit of answers. We must always treat one another in kind, tenderhearted ways. Slander—Lastly, many will find themselves verbally hurting others based on misinformation. We must, as God’s children, be encouraging and put away hurtful speech. When we do not know answers we seek to know, talk to someone, not about someone. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you (Ephesians 4.31-32)

Part 6: Stealing Life "The Cliff Notes version? I want a normal life. Like I had before… I wish we could be regular kids." – Buffy, "What's My Line" "Big question. What do I want? (Thinks) Love - family - a place on this planet I can call my own." – Angel, "Warzone" "It's almost like old times," Willow sighed happily. "You and me taking a quick break from patrolling to pick up a movie." "Yeah," Xander agreed with a touch of sadness. "The only thing that's missing is Buffy." "I can't believe it was Anya who found a good way to bring back the dead and not me," Willow said. "What Anya did had some pretty serious drawbacks Wills," Xander warned. "I wouldn't wish my demon's memories on my worst enemy, let alone on Buffy." "It's really that bad?" Willow asked her voice filled with concern, sympathy and something more. "You can't ever hint at this to Anya," Xander said. "She was only trying to help and I am coming to terms with it, but honestly I'm glad we didn't know about the curse when Jesse got turned. It's better that we just killed the vampire he'd become." "You wish you were still dead?" Willow asked. For almost a block Willow's question hung in the silence between them. "I don't want to die if that's what you're asking," Xander said finally. "I want… I want to be forgiven. I want to somehow make up for the things I did after I was turned… Who would have ever thought I'd be the one who'd finally understand Angel? I want to be able to sleep without hearing my victims scream in my mind. I want my innocence back, but I can't ever have that so I'll settle for having a great big light in the sky or something saying I've done enough good to cancel out the evil things." "It's too bad Anya couldn't have found an alternate dimension where you weren't a vampire," Willow said, sounding lost in thought. "Master Liam, you've a guest," Anna said. Buffy's mouth dropped open at her first sight of Angel, he was dressed in tan breeches and a white shirt, his long hair was neatly pulled back and strangest of all, he looked about nineteen. "Mother, Father, if you'll excuse me?" he asked getting up from the table. "You said we could go riding after lunch," Kathy protested. Angel smiled at the five year old. "I'll be right back Kathy-sweet, don't you worry," He promised then took Buffy's arm and led her outside. As they left the house Galway transmuted to LA and with the change in setting Angel's appearance shifted back to what Buffy was accustom to. "That was your family wasn't it?" Buffy asked. "Do you dream about them a lot?" "More lately," Angel replied. "I used to have nightmares about killing them occasionally, but now I seem to have switched over to happier times. It's nice to remember them like that." "I'll have to do this dream-walking more often. You can introduce me sometime," Buffy suggested. Then her expression turned serious. "But right now you have to wake up. Willow's going to do something bad, you have to stop her." A slight woman with long brown hair shifted her book bag to the other arm as she leaned against the side of the phone booth in the corner of Sunnydale University's MU building. "So what did my mom say?" she asked. "She said yes, she's going to display my paintings," his voice reflected disbelief "Maybe this is her way of saying she's finally accepted our marriage." The woman snorted with a bitter sort of amusement. "More likely you're just too good to snub." "Whatever the reason she's giving me a chance, I'm grateful for that much," he replied. "It calls for a celebrations," she declared. "Dinner out?" "I'm on my way to get the kids," her husband replied. "I'll pick you up in front of the library." "Good plan, the less time they spend with the Harris' the fewer chances they'll have to turn them against us." There was a momentary pause. "Xander and Willow are my family Buffy, and it's not as if I didn't give them reason to hate me." Buffy sighed. "I know, Xander's the one that found you after you tried to kill yourself, he really looked up to you, it very was traumatic for him. You've told me before why I should excuse how he acts toward you, but the wreck and everything that happened afterwards was thirteen years ago, before I even met you and I feel like I've know you forever, so isn't that a bit long for him to still be upset? It wasn't like you were yourself then… Why did Mom have to decide to talk to you on such short notice, she knows you work nights so we don't need a babysitter for the kids." "Maybe she thought I'd have to bring them with me." "Don't even suggest it Angel," Buffy ordered. "They are her grandchildren. And she's never even seen them," Angel said quietly. "And she won't see them until she takes back disowning me either," Buffy replied. "I let you set the rules with regards to your family, but Joyce is my mother so we deal with her my way." Angel sighed. "She's the only grandparent the kids have. Would it be so bad if we made the first overtures?" "Angel," Buffy said warningly. "Discussion over, I know," Angel said. "I'll see you in fifteen minutes… I love you." "Love you too," Buffy replied irritation melting out of her voice. A minute later a bright flash of light surrounded her. When it faded the spot where she had stood was empty. Angel fidgeted nervously as the truck pulled on to the freeway. According to the driver's logbook his next stop was in Sunnydale. His friends were going to be furious about how he was handling this. Actually if he stopped to think about it there were a lot of things they didn't like these days. They didn't like him patrolling with Faith but they couldn't stop him, so they contented themselves with the promise that he and Faith would call for back up if they ran into anything more threatening than the run of the mill demons feeding on humanity. They didn't like that he refused to be excluded from cases, but were gradually coming to terms with the idea. Still, he didn't even have to ask to be certain they weren't ready for him to take a solo mission to Sunnydale. And it didn't matter. Buffy said it was urgent, she said it involved her. He was going, and he was going to deal with things his way. It was about Buffy. Buffy pushed her long brown hair out of her eyes as she scrambled to her feet. She stared around herself in alarm; she was in the middle of a circle drawn in sand on a plastic tarp in a bright cheerful kitchen. The candles set at the four corners of the tarp and the dark robed figure were so out of place in the perfectly normal kitchen, it almost made it freakier than if they'd been in some dungeon. "Buffy don't worry, everything will make sense in just a minute," the witch said in a happy voice, pushing back the hood of her robe to reveal coppery red hair. "Willow Harris!" Buffy exclaimed. "Are you out of you're mind? I don't care what Angel says about staying in touch with family, you're never getting near our kids ever again, and I always though you were less of a freak than your husband." Willow's eyes widened in surprise. "Me and Xander? Wow your world really is different," she said taking a step forward to examine Buffy more closely, as she did so her foot scuffed the line of sand encircling Buffy. "…Wait a second 'our kids'. Your and Angel's kids!? Oh goddess, you have kids… This complicates things… but just finding a living you was so hard… What if there aren't anymore? Xander would kill me if I used a vampire. I know what happens with a corpse, it's not at all nice…" Buffy backed away from Willow, her eyes fearful. She felt the doorknob against the small of her back. "Buffy? What's wrong?" Willow asked. Buffy turned and darted out the door. Willow started after her when the phone rang, startled Willow glanced toward it and Buffy disappeared through a break in the hedge. Angel considered enlisting Xander's aid as he walked toward Willow's place. This wasn't his normal case, there was no bad guy, just Willow and a mistaken belief that time could be turned back. He wasn't going to fight with her, just talk some sense into her and Xander's voice might carry more weight with Willow than his would. Always assuming that Willow hadn't already talked Xander into her point of view, it certainly was a tempting one… "Buffy you're sure Willow's plan can't work out?" Angel asked. "You know it's wrong for about a bazillion reasons," Buffy said. "Beside, if my soul is brought back it'll tear off the dimensional patch my death created. We'll be in the same fix we were in when I jumped the first time. Maybe the PTB would prefer if I sacrificed Dawn, but I can't." Buffy sighed. "Maybe that's what I was supposed to do and everyone would have been better off if I had let Dawn jump. Maybe Giles and Xander wouldn't have died. Maybe Willow wouldn't hate herself. But in my heart I swore to protect Dawn long before anyone told me I had to protect the whole world," Buffy said. They settled into silence for a few blocks then Buffy added. "The PTB aren't exactly all knowing, they keep asking our minds to out weigh our hearts. I know I should have let Dawnie jump. She would have done it Angel. She would have given up her life to save the world." "She's your little sister," Angel said quietly. "How could she have done less?" "And that's why I couldn't let her. They took my whole life, how could I let them have hers too? Of course they got it anyway didn't they? It's just like you and Darla; they thought it was 'fair' to expect you to feel the same about her as you would have about any other vampire. But she wasn't any other vampire was she? She was your family, like Dawn's mine and you can't just turn off your feelings about family. They wouldn't be family if you could. But the PTB won't accept that." Buffy said angrily. Angel frowned. "What are you?" he asked. "I told you." "I wouldn't expect a representative of the PTB to be so bitter toward them." "She's coming!" Buffy exclaimed. "I can't stay. I don't know what might happen if I get too close to her." Angel felt Buffy's presence fade; a moment later he heard running footsteps approaching. A petite brown haired woman crashed into him. Angel caught her before she could fall and set her back on her feet. "Sorry," the woman said backing away then she looked at him. "Angel!" she exclaimed throwing herself into his arms. "Oh god Angel. I was just walking on campus, not five minutes after we hung up, then I was somewhere else and Willow was acting all freaky. I don't understand what's going on." "It's okay Buffy," Angel said. "I'll explain it, I'll make it right." Buffy smiled up at him. "You always make me feel better," She said. "But we are not letting your cousin or his wife baby-sit ever again." "Buffy we need to talk," Angel sighed. "Dawn, you have to listen to me," Spike said in a tight pain-edged voice as he pulled the slender girl into an isolated alcove at the Bronze. Dawn shook off his hand angrily. "I said four weeks, not two," she snapped heading back toward her friends. Spike grabbed her by the shoulders and spun her back to face him. "Look at me you heartless little bitch," he demanded shaking her until they both winced. "Look at what you're doing to me." "If I'm heartless it's dating you that made me that way," Dawn snarled back. "Do you think it's easy for me, loving a guy who looks at my friends as fast food?" "I save 'em for you, don't I? I save all those cattle, you ought to show some gratitude," Spike growled. "Instead you do this to me," Spike held his hand in front of Dawn's face letting her see the fine tremors that wracked his system. "You shouldn't have threatened Xander," Dawn shot back. "Remember what I can do the next time you think about hurting my friends!" ""You wouldn't be so bloody casual about torturing me if it weren't for Xander," Spike sneered. "You think he can replace me. Well think again little girl, you need me as much as I need you." "I'm not the one who's going to be coughing up pieces of his innards if he doesn't learn how to behave himself," Dawn snapped. "We'll see how long it takes for you to crawl back to me after your new champion's gone," Spike threatened stalking away. Angel sat dejectedly on the hearth at the mansion. Buffy crouched fearfully on the far side of the couch. "I'd never hurt you," he said quietly. "Please believe that." "I want to go home," Buffy whimpered. "Would it be so bad to stay here?" Angel asked reluctantly. "I want my husband and my kids back," Buffy cried. Angel looked away, his expression ashamed. "I'm sorry, I felt… like I had to ask. I'll see that you get home." Slowly Buffy came out from behind the couch. "Why do I believe you?" she asked. "You aren't him, you're some kind of monster. How can I feel so safe with you?" Angel smiled a little, "It never made sense that you'd trust me, but you did. I won't let you down." "You know another me?" Buffy asked curiously. "Like you're Angel, but not my Angel." "I love her, like you love him," Angel said. "Come on, lets see about getting you home." "Where are we going?" Buffy asked. "I need to have a few words with Willow," Angel said darkly. "I don't like her," Buffy complained. "She's your best friend," Angel said. "She's Xander's wife," Buffy said with a roll of her eyes. "That's different," Angel said. "Xander's your other best friend here." "Xander's your bitter, grudge baring cousin, the one you're still trying to make up with after years and years of him being a pain," Buffy said. "Why?" Angel asked. "I guess I've got to get used things being all weird here," Buffy said changing the subject. "Why do we have to talk to Willow?" "She's the one that brought you here. Willow wanted our Buffy back," Angel said. "She forgot you'd have your own life. She's the one that can send you home." As they walked Angel couldn't help watching Buffy curiously. "We have kids?" he asked. "I mean you and your Angel." Buffy smiled suddenly and dug out her wallet. "I've got pictures." "A moonlight walk on the beach?" Anya asked uncertainly. "I thought it would be romantic." Xander said. "But this is Sunnydale," Anya reminded him. "What if it's dangerous?" "I'll protect you," Xander said. "Besides, it's not like I could take you to the beach during the day." "I like the idea of you protecting me," Anya said. "Especially if it's not from anything overly dangerous." Xander laughed. "That's my Anh, always practical." "I really do like it," Anya said. "Xander?" Willow yelled running up the beach. "I saw Anya's car and…" "Wills, you are interrupting," Xander said smiling tightly. "I brought another Buffy here," Willow said. "Then she ran off." "Is she a vampire?" Anya asked. Xander tensed. Willow glanced nervously at Xander. "No, nothing like that, but she isn't our Buffy yet. I don't know what she knows. She freaked, it wasn't Slayer-like." "What were you trying to do?" Xander asked. "Isn't it obvious?" Anya asked. "I guess we'd better find her," Xander said. Angel touched the picture gently. "She looks exactly like my little sister." "I wish I'd known her, everybody says Marie reminds them so much of Kathy," Buffy replied. "This is our son, Aaron. The only person Aaron reminds anyone of is himself." "I don't know, his eyes are like yours," Angel said. "What's it like?" Buffy smiled softly. "We fell in love the day we met and got married as soon as it was legal. We have two great kids, extremely hyperactive, verging on insanity causing kids, but I'd never change them. It's perfect, just the four of us." "Xander! Anya!" Dawn yelled. "Where is everyone when I need to warn them?" Dawn banged on the door for a few more minutes then turned and ran down steps. "I hate Spike, why does he have to be like this," she thought. "He's supposed to love me, so now he's good. He's been good for years and years and years. It shouldn't be like this anymore." Dawn took an angry swing at bush. "It isn't fair. Why can't he just trust me? I love him, I don't care that Xander doesn't like him. I wasn't going to leave him no matter what Xander said. But oh no, Spike can't deal with things like a normal person, he has to go out and try to kill someone." "He made me hurt him and now instead of knocking it off he's even more determined to kill people. Why is my life like this?" "Willow," Angel said in a stern voice. Willow, Xander and Anya turned to see Angel and Buffy walking toward them. "You found her," Willow said with relief. "Buffy, why'd you run off? I was worried. If you'd just given me a second I'd have fixed everything." "No," Angel said. "You're going to put her back." "I have it all figured out," Willow argued. "I pop out her soul and put in the right one, then everything's back to normal." "No!" Angel said his voice rising slightly. Buffy cowered behind him. "It'll be just like the good old days," Willow prattled on. "Buffy, Xander and I as best friends. You dating Buffy, but no curse this time. I'll bring back Giles and Jenny too. Then they'll get married and everyone will be happy. I can't bring Tara back, because of the magic problem but I could make Oz come home and forget all those worries about the wolf and Xander and I…" "Then you'll make me disappear and cast a love spell on Cordelia and Xander so they'll be an item again, right?" Anya asked angrily. "Why would I do that?" Willow asked. "You're like the improved version of Cordy, you're a lot nicer to Xander. Don't worry guys, I'll make everything perfect." Staring at her in disbelief Xander slowly backed away from his oldest friend. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Willow asked. "I know that I screwed up the first time I tried to bring Buffy back. I didn't get it, I didn't understand what went wrong, so I just did my best to live in this awful place. I didn't have any other choices. Then Anya showed me the way. Sure she messed up a few details, she brought versions of you two that were messed up. There's nothing wrong with that Buffy and once I get rid of her other soul and clean up her mind a little she won't even remember ever being anyone else." "It's what I should have done with you Angel. Poof, no more memories from the hell-world Sunnydale. I'm a little scared to try it now, I might get rid of the wrong soul, but if I had of taken care of that first then it wouldn't be a problem. See I learn from my mistakes." "What about my kids?" Buffy asked stepping forward to confront Willow. "They have to grow-up without a mother so you can have everything the way you want it? What about my Angel, should he grieve because you don't want to? What about me? What happens to me when you * pop out * my soul and get rid of it?" "She has the life Buffy and I always dreamed about," Angel added, seeing Willow's determination waver. "No demons, no vampires. Just a normal girl and her normal boyfriend, who got married and had a family and lived happily ever after; that's what Buffy told me she wanted about a month before she turned seventeen, isn't that right in the middle of those 'good old days' you want to bring back? Even then Buffy wanted something else. She wanted what this Buffy has. What right do you have to take that away from her?" "Anya got to have her life back," Willow said. "I just need a few more people so I can have mine too." "There was no one in our world to miss Angel or I," Xander said. "No one not evil anyway." He stopped and walked over to Anya. "You know I love you don't you?" he asked. "I've been trying to find the right setting, but I want this said before I finish what I've got to say to Willow. Anya, I think maybe I should propose to you all over again, so much has happened. But you're still wearing my ring, so either you really like it or the answer's still yes. I'm hoping it's the latter, or even all of the above. So I'm asking if you want to set a date instead." "I'd like to elope," Anya said. "Preferably in the next couple days, before anything can happen. Then we can have a for-show wedding, with a dress and guests and a cake and presents, lots of presents." Xander smiled. "I think we could swing that," he said. "Just please remember I love you and I want to be with you, but honestly you shouldn't have brought me back. I didn't want you to spend the last five years of your life obsessed with my dying. I wanted you to be happy, to live your life. I would have waited for you, we would have been together in the end." Xander took a deep breath. "Do you really think Buffy or any of the others, would be happy if they could see us today?" Buffy took out her wallet and handed the pictures to Willow. "That's my family. They're real people. They need me. I need them. Send me home, please." Willow bit her lip, staring down at a picture of Marie and Aaron splashing in a wading pool. "Marie's in the second grade, she wants to be a writer when she grows up. Aaron's five, he says recess is his favorite part of school," Buffy told her. "Angel starting to get some notice as an artist, he'd love it if he could make a living that way. I went back to college this year, now that the kids are both in school. I haven't picked a major yet, but I really like this mythology class I'm taking. Do people get degrees in that?" "Okay, I'll send you home," Willow said, sounding defeated. "Bloody bitch!" Spike swore kicking his TV over. "She won't be so smug when he's gone. I welcome the bastard; because I think it'll make her happy and now she thinks I'm expendable. I'll show her who's expendable!" Spike punched the wall, the stone cracked, his knuckles bruised. He didn't seem to feel the pain. He tucked a few stakes into his coat and stalked out of his crypt cursing Xander and Dawn under his breath. After the spell was complete Angel walked outside and slumped on the front step of the townhouse. A few minutes later Xander slipped out. He stood in the doorway watching Angel for a few moments then asked, "You going to be okay?" "Why wouldn't I be?" Angel replied. Xander sighed but didn't dignify that with a reply. "It's almost dawn, you could crash at my place and head back to LA tomorrow night." "I don't want to impose," Angel said. "I'll spend the day at the mansion." "Oh yeah that's just what you need, a whole day trapped in there, reliving everything you and Buffy went through during senior year. You won't be imposing." "I'd rather stay at the mansion," Angel rephrased. "Then I'll stay with you," Xander said. "Alone," Angel modified. "How'd you get here anyway?" Xander asked. "I didn't think you'd bothered to get a car or anything since you've been back." "Angel! That's dangerous," Xander reprimanded on reflex. Angel stood up and started walking. "Okay, that was a stupid thing to say given who and what you are," Xander said. "Where are you going?" "To the mansion, it's almost dawn," Angel said not looking back. Xander followed Angel. "We should catch up, it's been months since I was in LA. Has anything interesting happened to you guys?" "No," Angel said. "Why don't you go home?" "I'm going," Xander said taking a few jogging steps to catch up with Angel. "Why can't you hang out in cemeteries like you're supposed you bloody home-wrecker," Spike complained. "It's too late to get back to the crypt." He slipped into the mansion, "Guess I'll spend the day here and kill Xander tomorrow night," he said making his way to his former room. "You're here for the day," Angel sighed. "Now I'm going to bed." "You don't want to talk or anything?" Xander asked. "No," Angel sighed. "Well good night, or good morning I guess. We can talk later," Xander said. "I've got dibs on the couch." "There are beds here," Angel pointed out. "Several in fact, the rooms are up stairs." "You never answered me, what are you?" Angel asked once he was alone. "I never told you I was sent by the PTB," Buffy sighed. "Nobody sent me, I just came. I was worried about you." "When I died I let everything go. I'd given them my life, shouldn't that have been enough? And then there you were. Somehow the instant I died my soul was drawn to yours." "I was ready to let go, you weren't. All I could see was how much I'd given up. All you could see was what you'd left undone. It's not good when the dead spend too much time worrying about the living, it's one way to end up a ghost." "When your friends drew you back into their world. I thought you'd have a chance to clean up all those loose ends that bothered you so much," Buffy said. "What about the loose ends you left?" Angel asked. "Dawn, Willow, Giles, Xander, you left them dangling." "I gave them everything I could," Buffy said. "Dawn's life was the only other thing I had to give and I couldn't surrender that. I did my best Angel, then I let go." Spike tossed and turned restlessly, the nagging ache that seemed to suffuse his body prevented him from resting. It was driving him mad with need, he thought. Giving up on the possibility of escaping into sleep he wandered into the mansion. Upon entering the front room Spike noticed a freshly made trail in the dust leading up stairs. Hopefully demon, demons he could fight, adrenaline was almost as good as alcohol for distraction Spike decided donning his game face. As he climbed the stairs a scent he recognized and loathed filled the air. Spike's expression turned malevolent. "Isn't this a nice coincidence," he said to himself. "The very blighter I want to kill decides to spend the day in the same hidey hole I pick." He followed the track to the first bedroom and kicked in the door. Xander blinked sleepily at Spike. "What are you doing here?" he asked. Spike drew a stake. "Figure it out yet whelp?" he asked. Xander scrambled to his feet. Spike spun and kicked him in the chest. "You wrecked everything," he yelled. Xander grabbed the rug Spike was standing on and yanked. Spike landed in a crouch then side-kicked Xander in the head. "Dawn needed me before you came," he continued. "She loved me." "She never loved you," Xander spat shaking his head to clear it. "You were her last option." "I'm all she needs," Spike growled, the stake splintering in his hand as his fist clenched. He felt a presence behind him and lashed out blindly. Angel deflected the blow and punched Spike. "You," Spike snarled, his molten eyes gleamed with an insane light. "I'll kill you both," he hissed throwing himself at Angel. Angel tossed Spike over his shoulder then turned to face him. Spike snatched up a chair and used it as a club against Angel. The older vampire fell back absorbing Spike's assault while he looked for an opening. Xander grabbed the chair. Spike twisted around and rammed the chair into Xander's face. Xander reeled back. With an enraged shriek Spike threw himself at Angel before he could take advantage of the distraction Xander had given him. Off-balance, they crashed through the blacked out window. Xander started toward the window only to be driven back by the merciless late afternoon sun. Spike and Angel fell two stories into one of the mansions gardens. Angel screamed with pain as his landing drove the trellis of a long dead rose bush deep into his side. Spike rolled to his feet, skin already smoldering from the sun but too far lost in rage to heed the warning. Angel climbed to his feet as well, looking for shelter. The bare exterior wall of the mansion and a tangle of brambles that didn't provide enough shade to shelter a rabbit greeted him. He felt his blood rapidly soaking his shirt, sticking it to the wound in his side. Angel caught Spike's next charge, dropping to his knees to add momentum to his throw. Spike smashed into the wall off the mansion. Flames licked at his flesh. He stood and took several steps back toward Angel then was consumed by fire. Angel blinked at the ashes that had been Spike a moment earlier then frowned at his own, unburned hands in confusion. Still frowning he started around the mansion to the door. A wave of dizziness swept over him and he stumbled. Angel pressed his hand to the wound in his side warm blood pulsed over it. Angel held his hand out before him, turning it back and forth curiously. His legs gave out and he slid down the wall. Tilting his head back Angel stared up at the sun, slowly a smile formed on his lips. "Forgiven," he said weakly. A few minutes later Angel was distantly aware that Xander was calling to him worriedly, but he couldn't muster the strength to respond. "He died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital," Xander said. "They told me he'd lost too much blood, he went into shock, they couldn't do anything." "But Angel is a vampire," Wesley argued vehemently. "Vampires simply can't bleed to death." "He wasn't a vampire, not then," Xander said. "No, I don't believe it," Cordy said. "The powers wouldn't have made him human only to have him die a few minutes later." "Don't you get it," Xander exclaimed. "From the minute he went out that window he was dead. If he'd stayed a vampire the sun would have destroyed him like it did Spike." "Why did you let this happen?" Cordy demanded angrily. "Why didn't you protect him?" "I couldn't!" Xander yelled back. "He was protecting me! I couldn't stop what happened!" "He looked very peaceful," Anya interjected. Xander took a deep breath. "How do you think Angel would have preferred to die? As a human or as a monster? The PTB gave him what he wanted." "Dawn? Are you coming?" Willow asked, standing outside of the locked door to the younger woman's room. After several minutes Willow set the tray she was carrying on the floor. "I didn't think so," she muttered. "I'll be gone for several hours. I'm leaving some food for you outside the door, like normal. Eat up before it gets cold." The door cracked open and Dawn's haggard face appeared. "I hate both of them," she said. "No, I wish I hated them, either of them, instead I get stuck understand." "And that only makes it harder right?" Willow asked sympathetically. "Yeah," Dawn said. "Spike was being the evil demon he always was. Of course he tried to kill Xander. He thought Xander was a threat to him. And Angel was a good person, of course he couldn't stand by and let Spike kill Xander." "God, I didn't mean that the way it sounded. I'm glad Angel protected Xander, I really am. But I miss Spike. I thought I'd changed him. I thought I could make him change because he loved me. I'm such an idiot aren't I?" Dawn asked, beginning to cry. Willow wrapped Dawn in a tight embrace. After several long minutes Dawn pulled away. "I've got to get dressed for the funeral," she said. "Don't worry, I won't make us late." "They're burying you next to me," Buffy commented happily. "Cordy and Wes aren't taking it well," Angel worried. "I knew it was going to happen, but I thought I'd have more time to get them used to the idea." "You tried," Buffy said. "There are always going to be a few things you can't take care of." "I probably should have just told them," Angel replied. "Angel," Buffy sighed. "You can't do this, you can't keep what-if-ing things. If everything had of been different today would be different. If you'd told them that you were going to die, maybe they would have stopped you from helping, then you wouldn't have shanshued. If Dawn had of let Spike isolate her from everyone else, maybe he wouldn't have felt the need to kill Xander. If you and I had of been different all those years ago, if we'd followed the PTB's plans instead of our hearts, maybe we'd have been rewarded with all our fondest dreams come true, who know. Things didn't work out like we hoped that they would, I know that, but they worked out okay. You did fix things between you and your friends. You helped some more people. You and Faith saved Lissa, there's a good chance that she and Xander will make the Watcher's Council join the new century in another decade or so. And it's not like you're leaving anyone in a lurch, not like I did. They'll be all right. Dawn'll get over Spike; I think she'll be happier in the long run without him. And you and I are together. That's not such a bad ending is it?" "I always hoped things would work out more like it did for the other us; marriage, kids, a normal life. I thought meeting her should have made me want to fight against this ending," Angel said. "Like I said, maybe it would have been like that for us if we'd made different choices, but we made the choices we had to make. A white picket fence wasn't in the cards for us." Buffy said. "Come on Angel, it's time to go. They'll be okay without us this time around."

12/4/12 Week News And on the 58th day it rained...well close enough, more like showers....after 57 days without precipitation we finally received some during the week, a total of 11mm fell, not allot but combined with the cooler weather we were able to switch off the irrigation pumps for a few days. Green Renovation Recovery Just over 3 weeks after green renovations and we are now at our normal mowing heights, we have upped the mowing to have them in pretty good shape for this weekend's Easter Medley, they will not be at the same pace as previous events, another week would have been perfect but we knew we only had 3 weeks to get them back and it was always going to be tight. They are rolling reasonably well and there shouldn't be any complaints. On the downside as expected the crab grass and couch has hung around and now visible this because we couldn't spray prior to renovations due to the national shortage of the chemical used, we received delivery yesterday and will be spraying next week to clear these weeds out. Hydraulic oil leak update It looks like we have managed to dodge a bullet, the hydraulic leak damage has been limited to a few areas of discolouration and only spots of dead grass which are recovering very well. It appears having the leak so close to renovations was a blessing with the higher cut and strong growth rates reducing the severity and making recovery quicker. ..........Phew........ During the week the staff leveled and turfed the side of the 16th tee to the new wall, it will give us an extra few feet of teeing space but more importantly stop carts from eroding the tee bank. Graham, Syd and Peter plus a couple of other helpers paved the side walkway to improve the area in total. The paving will be extended when they get time to finish it and also the staff will raise the area where the wall starts at the back to improve the visual appeal. We made good use of the little rain we had applying wetting agent on the back 9 fairways, (front 9 already done) and fertilising the front 9 tee to green and surrounds with a granular fertiliser as a pre winter fert for all the warm season turf. This will allow them to store much needed carbohydrates through winter, keep a bit of colour and more importantly come out of winter in good shape. The back 9 will be fertilised in a weeks time when we get the second delivery. All other work concentrated on preparing the course for the Easter Medley and once again I am proud of the staffs efforts to achieve our goals in a very disruptive week, with showers, wind and only a 4 day week to get it all finished and ready for play. Happy Easter to all and happy golfing.
